The Wool Market.

Advlees from the leading markets say that
manufacturers Of dress goods, chevlots and
worsteds are beginning 10 take Wool more free
ly. Their buying has been confined largely to
territories and Texas Woods, and in these
grades seine heavy lines have been disposed Of.
Buyers have been accompanied with conces-
sions, but, considering the amounts taken. it
has rather strengthened than weakened the pc
milton OF these Woods. Prices will undoubtedly
be irmer now that the market has been relley-
ed of these stocks. 1t is the general belief that
the movement in domestic Woods will be fairly
active throughout December. The situation in
pulled Woods has not changed; prices are firm,
and the sales are sufficient to prevent any no.
tceable accumulation. Australian Woods are
rather quiet. Manufacturers are waiting for
the London and Melbourne sales TO close, when
they expect values to be lower.
