sales in the three principal markets have aggre-
gated 1881 900 pounds comprising 1921 500 pounds
domestic and 22c9S)0 pounds of foreign wool
In Boston and Philadelphia the trend of inquiry
has been Enthusiastically toward domestic wool
and sales of such stock at those points have
considerably exceeded transactions in foreign
wool. There is quotable change in the prices
of staple wool desirable stock oi any kind
The statistical position of wool in deAlers' hands
is SO strong that there is no possibility OF n
radical break in rates. The total sales since
January ] M have ". amounted to 4'.li5.iSo pounds,
against 44,sSS 1863 pounds year ago.
