BOSTON, May s.-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow
of the wool trade: The market ruled quiet.
Now and then a round lot of wool has been
disposed of, but the transactions of the past
week have been mostly of small parcels.
The number of purchasers in the market
have appeared have bought sparingly. In
foreign wool there has been less doing than
last week. while in domestic stock. except
have been few transactions worthy of note.
The weak opening of the London sales I'M
questionably exerted an influence on the
market. but Tuesdays dispatches Indicate a
hardening tendency in the prices OF good
woods. which has somewhat stiffened the
ideas of those interested in foreign stocks.
A factor which has acted unfavorably on
the market has been the labor disturb
ances in Olneyville, near Providence; r.. l.
The mills affected by the labor troubles are
very large purchasers Of wool. and the with
drawal of the demand from this source has
certainly exercised an appreciable effect
on the weeks business. Latest advices from
the wool-growing sections indicate that the
purchasing fever has somewhat cooled off
There has been developed this season. how
ever. a tendency among traders In the in
terror. who are not regular wool buyers,
to buy wool on account of it's low prices.
These outside parties who would buy any,
thing If it was cheap. whether cotton;
leather or iron, have been led TO lake hold
Of wool, basing their action on the theory
that there has been an advance in other
lines of staple. merchandise. and that wool
will follow. This speculative buying among
those outside of the wool trade has not as
yet assumed large proportions. but il is
discernible' and worthy of note. There is
no speculative buying, however. among
members of the wool trade. The result has
been a quieting down. Prices have ruled
steady in this market and transactions have
been mostly on the basis of quotations as
previously given. The sales of the week
amount to l,S59.S0 pounds domestic and
974. 900 pounds foreign. making a total Of
1888. 500 hounds. against a total Of 3.346, 100
pounds for the previous week and a total
OF 1856, 300 pounds for the corresponding
week last year. The sales since Jan. 1. 1895.
amount to 50, 9S2, $50 pounds, against 46. 13S. 500
pounds a year ago. The aggregate sales
in philadelphia have amounted to 1858. 200
pounds.
