Boston advices to the first instant have
been received in town relative to the
wool market They say: "There is no
reason to look for any boom, but there is
every ground to expect a good, steady,
healthy market ranging at about today's
figures, throughout the autumn. Mean
while, woolen goods Of all kinds are do
ing better, and although prices are not
hardening much, if any, considerable
sales are being made, and manufacturers
no longer have the prospect Of piling up
their product. The general business sit
uation throughout the country is good,
values of most staples are improving, and
if the yield of the crops is as large as it
now promises, there is nothing to hinder
a very successful autumn and winding
upof the current year."
