Wool.
BrddStreetS.

The wool markets are all reported
quiet. This is not the time, however,
for a heavy movement. The woods from
the new clip are coming forward slowly.
The first lots are always high, but this
year they are not wanted at the prices
growers are asking. Manufacturers are
said to have taken very little of this
wool and the largest dealers have only
small lots. The buying is confined to
the choicest lots, there being ne demand
for inferior grades. Values on most OF
the woods in eastern markets are lower.
A weak demand is still noted for Ohio
and Michigan woods. The manu-
facturers continue TO take Austria
lians in place Of the domestic fleeces.
The best foreign woods are firm, and
choice lots are in good demand. Deal
ers who secured only the best woods at
the London sales are said TO have made
large profits on their investments. The
movement in the inferior grades of
Australians is very slow and holders are
offering their stocks below cost. There
is practically nothing doing in either
Texas or California woods. Choice Ter
ritories are considered good property,
as sales of these are easily made and
values are frmer than on any other
grade of domestic wool. Carpet woods
are quiet.
