THE WOOL MARKET.

BOSTON, MASS, April 1.-THE American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say Tomorrow If it were
not for transactions in foreign wool, the volume Of
business done this week would foot up light to-
tai. Free purchases of Australian, however, COM
bined with a fair trade in South American woods
brings the aggregate of the weeks transactions up
to quite respectable figure, nearly three and half
million pounds. Prices III domestic woods still
fail to respond to the Improvement previously
quoted abroad.
A very steady feeling prevails, however and we
know of no concessions whatever that have been
made in selling prices. Transactions have been
effected at precisely the same figures as were
quoted two weeks ago for exactly the same woods.
Some of the newly shOrn woods are on the way to
this market, and some, notably California. have
been sold here at prices which certainly show no
further easing off.
The sales of the week amount TO 2,373000
pounds domestic and All 500 pounds foreign.
making total Of 3,744 800 pounds, against total
of 1898 for the previous week and total OF 2,l47,
600 pounds for the corresponding week last year.
The sales since January !, 1895, amount to 49,
963 $50 pounds, against S9,19S, 400 pounds year
ago.
The Philadelphia sales have aggregated 1,1os,-
100 pounds

ST go higher per 100 pounds than last year and 81
higher than the lowest point this yeSr. Dressed
beef is 212 higher than the average last year,
the highest since 1885. The comparative scarcity
of high grade cattle is emphasized by the fact that
present quotations, when made in previous periods
of scarcity, have never before failed to bring in
supply when one existed.

THE PETROLEUM MARKET.

NEW YORK, y. y, April 17.-While great
element was prevailing in the oil region through
break in the price Of oil to-day, the New York mar
ket held sinister tempest in prices, declining from
go bid to 215 asked and closing at 2l7 bid without
sales. The weakness developed after o'clock. but
resulted in no business at this point. The decline
has made the price OF spot oil even more nominal
than il has been, leaving quotations mere guess
work on the basis of about ST. so for refined in
barrels and 81 so for oil with crude in barrels
worth IS so. But nobody pTetends to give close
quotations in the present feYerish state of the
market nor is any satisfactory explanation of the
decline given II this point
