THE WOOL MARKET.
Prices Hold Up Well in Spite of Light
Sales.

Boston, July "a The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow
of the wool trade During the past week
the wool markets of New York, Boston,
Philadelphia and elsewhere have wit
messed period of inactivity beyond that
noted for some time. Although there
have been numerous buyers in the
market, the aggregate and Individual
transactions have been of limited proper
tions. The reasons may be attributed to
the fact that many manufacturers are
now sufficiently well supplied to enable
them to operate their machinery for some
| little time. Values remain firm and
those who were in need of more stock
readily acquired it at the prices that
ruled a week earlier. There are some,
no doubt who are holding off with the
expectation that prices cannot remain
permanent, and stock can eventually be
procured at lower figures. The amount
of wool which has already been taken by
consumers is far in excess of what was
sold up to this time last year, even allow
ing for a large percentage of speculative
buying in eastern markets. The sales in
Boston, New York, Philadelphia and
Chicago aggregate 6, 672. $50 pounds,
against 9, 115, $50 pounds year ago.
NEW YORK.
The sales amount to 653 900 pounds
Prices are firm, although the aggregate
and individual sales are less than those
of a few weeks previous.
BOSTON.
Sales amount to 3,94s, 600 pounds.
Parties who are in need of new stock are
acquiring it at prices that ruled week
earlier, but the activity has somewhat
declined.
PHILADELPHIA.
Sales aggregate /, 471 450 pounds. The
market presents the same firm front,
with no sign of wea kness. Sales have
been fewer. doubtless due to the fact that
manufacturers are loaded and to less
movement of speculative nature.
CHICAGO
Sales amount to about 600, oOO There
has been general decline in receipts,
shipments and sales. but the outlook is
hopeful for permanence in values.
ST. LOUIS.
Sales mount to 4OO,0 pounds. De-
mand is general and prices have been
maintained.
