The Wool Market.
This has been quiet, uneventful week;
prices continue steady, as they have gene
%ally since January. The only local effect
of the advance abroad is to render 1t
somewhat easier to sell certain domestic
woods at quotations. Medium and
below feeces have been imported to
the extent that they fill the niche which
would otherwise exist by the scarcity of
oCr medium and low woods. But it may
be said that the advance of last week on
the other side Is, nevert heless, an ele-
ment OF strength, inasmuch as the
stock henceforth will cost more and
must command n higher price here,
for the rise is deem : legitimate since
there is a better ieeling developed
among foreign manufacturers and dealers,
and the majority of our merchants
think the advance will hold. The local
trade in foreign wool, notably in Austria
lian, which has been feature since
December, shows little abatement, the
character of many of the goods being
made demanding in their finish just the
qulities which Australian possesses; in
other words, Australian Is requisite to
give the "feel" and the finish. while our
fine domestic is indispensable to give
strength to the fabric; so, naturally, there
has been within the past fortnight, in
conjunction with the business In Aus
tralian, considerable doing in lDelaines
and good sized total of Xxx woods has
been sold.
The sales of the week amount to 1885,
500 lbs. domestic and 7cS, 500 lbs. foreign,
making total of 2,097, 300 lbs, against a
total OF 2,067 500 lbs. for t he previous week,
and a total of 2,795, 500 lbs. for the cores
ponding week last year. The sales since
Jan. /, 1895, amount to 30,0i9,050 lbs,
against 25,9l9,600 lbs. a year ago.
The sales in New York have amounted
to ,306, 900 lbs. the sales in Philadelphia
have amounted to 1,279,9O0 lbs.
