Boston, Mass. Feb. l9.-The Amerl-
can Wool and Cotton Reporter will
saw tomorrow of the wool trade:
The sales In the three principal mar
kets during the past week have
amounted to 3,sis000 pounds. OF which
1853 were domestic. This has been
beyond all comparison the qnietest
week since the corresponding period OF
1895. Prices for good woods. however,
continue TO be remarkably firm and
steady. The experience during the
month thus far has been less pleasant
and several sufficient reasons may be
adduced for same. The average wealth,
err has been squarely against a good
business in heavyweight goods, and
consequently out Of harmony with free
buying of stock for tEeir manufacture.
Again monetary stringency has been
an impediment Of much trade thai
would otherwise have been quite possl-
BILE. In the wooden goods business al
date foreign competition is the small
est adverse factor. The total sales
since January ]. 1895, have been -
ass, $50 pounds against 3y.e2i. COB pounds
a year ago.
