Wool
THE week has been an uneventful one.
though the demand has been steady and the
aggregate sales are 3,551 900 pounds. The
situation is practically the same as last
week. Prices have ruled steady on most
grades, but there is an easier feeling in Cali
fornia and Texas woods The tone of the
market is good and there is little prospect
of a decline. Manufacturers of wooden
goods have had a fair amount of orders, but
not enough to warrant higher prices There
will undoubtedly be an increased demand
after election. Ohio xxx, "a: do. XIX, SO to

In General.
DRY GOODS, a decided improvement.
Boot, shoe, hide and leather,-a fair trade,
| but the situation as to values is unsatisfac-
| tory. Iron and metal,-steady demand and
| prices have been maintained. There is II
| steady consumptive movement and delv-
cries on former orders are large. Lumber
| demand for Eastern and Northern fair, and
| prices generally steady, especially for
| spruce. Fish,-in an unsatisfactory condi-
| ton. Coal demand for anthracite rather
| slack.
