WOOL.
Rradstreet'

The demand for wool is dull and the
market continues depressed, with values
nominal. Wooden mills are being closed
in many instances. particularly those en-
nloyed on men's-wear goods. and manu-
facturers show no desire 10 buy the raw
material 5 long as there is no prospect of
their needing it. Dress wooden mills are
showing more activity since the market
opened for fall goods. but as Yet IT has not
resulted in Increasing the demand for
wool. The wool market abroad is firm.
with a strong position noted. but this only
hops the tone here through sympathy.
Fleece woods are dull but held steady, with
territory grades weak and in buyers favor
az far as prices are concerned. some &c
nestle wool has been sold for EXPORT. and
II is hoped that market abroad can he
worked up for our surplus. Foreign woods
are quiet but firm.
