The last Issue OF Bradstreet's prints
the following resume of the wool trade:
Business is dull IN sIl the wool markets.
No pu4chasee On speculation are MADE at
any point. The manufacturers are re-
suictipg their operations to their imme-
dtate requirements, and dealers still de-
cline to pay the high prices asked by the
growers. There is possibly little mere
trade in Texas, but yet the amount SO fsr
taken up has been small. Nothing Of
much account is doing In California, and
in Kentucky the clip Is held above the
views Of sesboard operators. The ex
tremely low prices which now prevail are,
of course, an advantage 10 the mills, or
would be II wooden fabrics were not quite
so cheap relatively. The buying IN the
country generally promises to be unusually
late. Small lots Of Texas wool are be-
ginning to arrive, and d little California
stock Is on the way.
