BOSTON. Feb. 19.-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow Of
the wool trade:
The sales in the three principal markets
during the past week have amounted to
3,S4S,O pounds. of which i.7zO,0O0 pounds
were domestic. This has been beyond all
Comparison the quietest week since the cor
responding period Of 1895. Prices for good
ably firm and steady. While some houses
have had a disappointing experience since
d doubt new With absolute sincerity that their
sales in January, 1896 exceeded those Of any
previous first month of earlier years.
The experience during this month thus
far has been less pleasant, and several
sufficient reasons may be adduced for the
same. The average weather has been
sQuarely against a good business in heavy
weight goods and consequently out Of har-
moEy with free buying of stock for their
manufacture.
Again, monetary stringency has beeen an
impediment in the way of much trade that
would otherwise have been quite possible.
In the wooden goods business at date for
eign competition is the smallest adverse
factor. The total sales since Jan. 1. 1896.
have been ~. 433, $50 pounds, against 39.62l ,6S5
pounds a year ago.
In Boston the sales during the period un-
der review have reached 1,420,0U0 pounds,
$50, 600 pounds of which were domestic wool.
The sales since January have amounted 10
2C,l50,0wO pounds.
