THE WOOL MARKET.
THROUGHOUT the week the market has
been a waiting one. Manufacturers and
dealers alike have been watching for the
opening prices of the London sales, and
a.
prise to no one, still business has been de
ferred. The advance which has taken place
| in the Boston market ON domestic woods
amounts to from three to five cents the
secured pound on fine wool and somewhat
less on medium. This, as well as the adj
vance abroad, has been discounted in the
country, which is still greatly excited. Not
only in the grazing districts, but in such
markets as st. Louis and Chicago, does this
excitement prevail. The Morrison free,
wool bill has been killed by decisive vote
and for another year at least the American
wool-grower is safe from further attacks in
this direction. There is but one cloud In
the horizon as far as goods are concerned
and that is the heavy stock of clothing left
ON manufacturers hands. Ohio XXX sells
at 80 to 33c, Ohio X at 30 to Sic, Michi
gan No. at 80 to $50, California spring al
% to 24c, Eastern Oregon at 10 to 23c
Maine supers at SO to 3Sc, extra Western
pulled at % to SOC and medium combng al
"a to 35c per pound
