The Wool Market.
PHILADELPHIA, May 16.-The market has
continu very quiet. The supply is down
10 between clip" proportions, and any gen
eral activity would be out of the question,
even if buyers were disposed to operate
with any freedom. Consumers, however,
are not eager for woods unless they can Sc
cure some special inducement in the way OF
price concessions, and the latter are less
frequeLt than of late because stocks have
been pretty well cleaned up. The tendency,
however, is in buyers favor, par
ticularly on odds aud ends Of old clips
that holders would rather get rid OF
than carry over into the new season. A
lot of 25., 90 lbs Ohio fine delaine sold at
SIC, but this rate is exceptional, and buy
ers, as rule will not pay over 36c. ONO
fine fleeces are dull at 32a3213c. for IN
and above, and X woods are merely nominal
at 3Oa31c Unwashed 4 clothing has been
sold at 25c, and 26c. is the general limit of
buvers' views, though some holders de-
cline to sell below PC. Some OF the
new wool sections are quoting 25a
26c. for unwashed, but dealers
hold off and generally refuse to pay
these prices, which are above parity with
the local market Throughout the clip dis
tricts the prices named by growers are
relatively high, and the movement is re-
ported slow for that reason. Manufactar-
ers will be very reluctant to pay any ad-
vance for new woods, and dealers, appre-
ciating the difficulties in the way of getting
a profit out Of purchasers at present ask
ing rates in the interior, are disposed TO
stand off and await modification of the
views of growers.
We quote local prices as follows: Ohio,

Bradstreet's says: Manufacturers have
bought more freely of choice woods than
during the preceding week. The sales OF
Australian woods have been much larger.
Dealers and manufacturers are more inter-
ested at present in the prizes paid for the
new clip than in the values ruling In east
ern markets. The slow movement of
wooden goods is forcing manufacturers to
delay taking stock 1t is thought by some
dealers that the high prices asked by
growers will induce freer buying OF
foreign woods next fall than has pre-
vailed during the past year The demand
for pulled woods has been very strong, and
stocks are well reduced. Sales Of terri
tories are restricted on account of the light
supply. Other domestic grades are quiet
and values are weak. Carpet woods are
selling slowly. Dealers are firm in their
dem ands, as the recent decision relating TO
the sorting clause makes it very uncertain
as to the values at which stocks can be re-
placed. 1t is said that 900 bales were Sc
cured at the recent London sales for the
American account.
