PROVIDENCE, March II.
There has been considerable activity to
the market the past week, the sales az
gregating well. Manufacturers are dis
posed to buy very good sized lots, but are
not paying any better figures than noted a
few DAYS ago. One rather consollng fea-
ture To the market is the fact that prices
are no lower.
Large lots Of domestic wool have been
taken during the week. and foreign woods
continue to sell freely also. We think the

governed by the opening sales at London,
which open on the 10Th inst.
