Woods.

Boston, July 27.-There is a fair de
mand for all kinds of wool. Prices re
main steady and unchanged, with sales
of 2,176,200 pounds. Most of the demanc
this week has been for Michigan wool
There have also been large sales of terri
tory wool, both in spot and to arrive
Prices are the same as last week anC
equal to SOC for secured fine and 45@4s
for medium. To-day's Oregon and Cali
fornia woods have been quiet.
There has been steady inquiry from
manufacturers during the week and there
is disposition on their part to purchase
in larger quantities when they can obtain
supplies at low prices The market is
certainly stronger than for some time and
there is growing confidence among
many dealers that the turning point has
been reached and that prices will very
soon take an upward turn. There has
been but little money made here yet ir
new clip, and it is doubtful if wool
bought in Texas, Michigan, Ohio or the
territories has paid any profit. The deal
ers have been satisfied to turn their su D,
plies over to the manufacturers without
making loss. The future now promises
better. The demand for goods is i'm
proving. The total sales were 2,176,2 ,2O(

BRADsTREET's REPORT.

Bradstreet's says: Holders of wool in
the country continue firm in their views
of the market. Eastern dealers, as a
rule, insist that they cannot afford to pay
within two cents of the present asking
prices. There seems to be, however, con
siderable activity in Ohio, Michigan and
the northern territories, especially Mon
tana, and also at St. Louis. Holders Of
medium woods in Ohio and Michigan
want about 30 cents. The situation at the
west on woods, looks quite as strong as
any time this summer.
On the seaboard the markets are steady
and fairly active, though showing no i'm,
provement over last week. Manufactur-
ers are taking in considerable amounts of
new wools to supply their machinery, but
not for home consumption.
AS the passage of the Mills bill by the
house of representatives had been gener-
ally anticipated, no effect was produced
on the wool trade.

PROPOSALS.

PHILBRooK, Montana.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1887-1890, 1888-08-04


The American Wool Reporter argues
that, in view Of the fact that American
woods have fallen Is or 20 cents pound
since 1888, they are not likely to go any
lower at present, even if the bill becomes
a law, and on the other hand there is no
good reason to look for much advance if
the bill is defeated unless the importa-
tion Of woolen and worsted goods is in
some way checked.
At Philadelphia wool is in better de-
mand at old prices. Manufacturers stock
has run low, and as there is ground to be-
lieve that the effect of the tariff agitation
has been fully discounted and prices are
nearly at bed rock, operations are made
with more confidence. The sales, for the
first time this season, exceed those for
the corresponding week last year, and are
so per cent larger than they were week
ago. ,...
The totals are for this week 948,OO0
pounds, against 4s8,O0O pounds last week
and 100000 pounds for the week ended
July 20 last year.
