The Wool Trade.
the American Wool and Cotton Reporter
| says: "h lille a few OF the markets have
not aggregated the usual weekly sales,
dou btless due TO the holiday intervening,
others have shown a marked increase.
Prices are steady all round, and the mar
ket has manifested noticeable activity in
the matter of No. / and washed woods.
There is still difference in the ideas of
both buyer and seller, as to prices, but
on the whole few sales have been more
through con SESSIONS on the part OF the
holder, exc ept in few instances where
some weak holder has shaded prices.
Values, on the contrary, are firm, while
the general prosperity In America is
improving.
Trade in clothing is expected to be OF
much larger proportions thsn in two pre-
ceding fall and winter seasons. Clothiers
have prepared for this by making larger
purchases on low and medium goods
The aggregate sales of the markets in
Boston, New York and Philadelphia are
., ,376, 900 lbs. against 4,115, 100 lbs. for
the corresponding period a year ago.
NEW YORK.
The sales amount to $50, 900 lbs. Wool is
quitestrongly held, although some agents
are said TO be little more desirous of
selling than they We're few weeks ago.
With the beginning of Septem ber, a bet
ter business is generally looked for, as ii
Is believed that the manufacturer will
soon have TO come into the market. A
number of sample bales are also out,
some interest.
BOSTON.
The sales of the week amount to g. 101,-
600 lbs. The market is more active in
fine No. i washed, with q fair demand
for X and above woods.
The sales in this market for the past
SIX weeks, despite the quiet surface aspect
which 1t has presented, have averaged
about three million pounds; the fact is,
that II Is a market OF vast scope and "A
considerable number OF small to moderate
transactions in various parts of the field,
VIII result in good sized total.
PHILADELPHIA
There were 1,29i, 500 pounds of wool
sold this week.
In general, the market for domestic
wools has continued quiet, although there
are some instances where large houses
have made very fair sales OF territory
wools to local mills. There is also a
slight Improvement In the aggregate
sales for the week, and buyers are max
ing more inquiry for wool. Their offers
are largely below the side of the sellers.
In several instances one-half per cent. per
pound stood between them. and while |
some weak holder, no doubt, has been
found who will occasionally shade prices,
the dealers generally are firm in their
ideas of the value of most wool, as they
find foreign WOODS of similar grades as
domestic continue to advance in price,
while the general prosperity of America is
improving.
CHICAGO.
Sales aggregate $4,000. The marke. !
has been rather quiet. While choice wool |
In this market are held comparatively !
firm, aud no concessions are offered, still |
there are exceptions, bat the only weak |
ness in this market today is among the !
houses mentioned that cannot wait for |
business to take its legitimate course. The |
outlook taken from a general review Of |
the market appears very promising.
ST. LOUIS
The market, as a rule, is unsatisfactory.
but those who did the business this week |
are not complaining, as prices were all
right, even though close in some in
stances.
