meltons and friezes. Domestic 1eeces are
in strong demand, but as stocks are light.
sales are necessarily limited. More at
tention Is being given to delaine woods,
because il is now quite evident
that a supply of these woods will be hard
to obtain within few weeks, as stocks are
very much reduced. A fair movement Is
reported in Texas wool. California WOODS
are selling slowly. There is more pressure
TO sell territories, as holders have become
tired Of carrying their heavy stocks. Pulled
woods are fairly active. Fine comoing
woods are neglected, but there is good
steady demand FOR other grades. The sales
of Australian woods are rather light. AT
the London sales but 5, 200 bales were taken
from this country. The purchases for
America at the Australian sales were only
oue-third as large as those OF last year
This was owing In part TO the hlgh prices,
and also 10 the uncertainty as TO changes
in duties Carpet woods are dull, but un-
chsuged in price.
