WOoL- Jacob WolIner's circular says: 1--WE
have had quite lively market the last ten days
aad lots of Woods sold, mostly TO securing
mills, but prices hava not improves much When
ever price was asked Il shade higher than prices
prevalent in December II wns refused, still there
have been about 1000, 00t, lbs sold and stocks
very much broken and the outlook is that when
the clip Is ready to come in there will be very
little Wool in the market, with the exception of
some very high-priced secured Wool in specuiat-
ors' hanus. Tue Eastern market the last two
weeks shows unprecedented large sales but at n o
'ber-that Is, Woos that were ohered in Decem Der
at prices they could not rea lZe were taken In the
pas two weeks So and the market is reported
act We and firm with no prospect OF any higher ad-
vance. Most of The Woods were taken Tor spec n a
tive purposes The mills still cannot get any
orders for goods. The London sales now in pro-
gress active and firm, bu with ve-y little ad-
vance and nearly one quarter OF the WOOL onered
was AIKEN by American buyers, so we can expect
onr cts will be flooded with foreign Woods be-
fore have any tariff legislation, or II we
have, before 1t can go into effect The report OF
the Ways and Means Committee of Cong gress that
on grease Wool there would be only duty Of &c Fs
h is very discouf aging especially for our produc-
tIon The California Wool Association is working
hard and is taking steps to bring before the Ways
ana Means committee the necessity of having q
higher tariff Oh Wool. Our securing mills busy
on orders for Eastern account. The prospect is
that all the Woo now on hand Will be used before
the new clip comes in. The market closes firm,

enormous total for a half holiday of $2,261 900

ike paying rates accounts for the steady absorp-
ton and advances in mortgages. The rise in bonds
led to extensive purchases for both accounts. aud
