THE WOOL TRADE.
wollner's circular says:

Jacob Wollner's circular says:
''our market is still very quiet, although some
woods have been selling when buyer could be
found at about the same prices which ruled the
lst of February. There is still considerable old
wool in the market, both secured and In the grease
Eastern purchasing agents still cannot get orders
OF any consequence, and when they have any In
quiry their customers will not come up 10 the
prices asked In this market, which are about par
with the Boston market
so far only about $50 bales of spring wool
have come into this market but IL Is not very at
tractve, il is full OF burs and is rather dark in
color 1 think there will not be much wool in be-
fore the LIST of next month.
1.-The Eastern market is reported steady with
small siles, more of foreign than domestic WOODS,
with prices well sustained but no. any higher.
"1he London sales opened last Tuesday with
good woods. such impor ted to this country,
at the same prices at the previous sals with
faulty and defective woods 8 per cent lower 1t Is
presumed thai the bulk of the best woods offered
now in London will be bought for this country.
''The Ways and Means Com mmittee OF Congress
has not yrt decided on the schedule of tariff on
wool and woolens. There is douD but that
will have ons. The only question is, how much
think 1t Will do little good for this clip, or even
for this year, so much foreign wool Is Imported
as is unprecedrnte in history. And with the sur
plus stock of domestic wool held over from pre-
vlOns years II looks II woods will go much higher

rainfall, OF melted snow in inches and hundredths

word "high" means high harometric pressure and

but when the 'low' is inclosed with isooars OF
