Wool EXCHANGE REtURTs--Less excitement has
marked business in wool during the week and prices
not surprising considering the continual advance in
prices during the past month. There 4, less spccula-
uon in wool and buying Is now on q more even price

speculative movement. The price basis is now more
those OF the future. AMI there is less inclination to

domestic woods are passing into the hands

importation. Thus foreign woods quoted under these
figures seem cheap at the price and are SO regarded
by buyers and sellers alike. The asking price on
domestic heeces Il still tending upward. but a. II Is
