Boston, July 6.-The wool market
here has shown considerable strength
during the last week in all depart
ments. although the greater demand
has been for foreign woods. The sales
OF territory woods have been brisk, but
dealers are not anxious to sell at the
prices asked by buyers.
In fleece WOODS there is little doing
and little to DO. with the cost OF new
woods considerably above the present
market here. and prices are largely
nominal from the absence OF business.
Sales Of Ohio No. washed 1eeces have
been this week at 23G24 for clothing
and combing, while a small lot of X
and above Ohio sold at 20 cents. The
demand for Australian wool continues
good at full prices.

On Wall Street.

New York, July 6.-The intention OF
security holders. clearly indicated by
the tone of today's market for stock,
was to await further developments in
the general business situation before
dealing in the market. Buyers were
unwilling 10 offer higher prices than
those al which the market closed Sat
urday. Although the lower bids invit-
ed some offerings, which We're quite
large for some stocks, there was no
heavy pressure to sell, the majority of
holders apparently being as unwilling
10 sell at the Secline as We're buyers
to bid higher. The market was, in
consequence, dull throughout, some de-
partments being quite lethargic. and
the dCllless being less marked in lead
ing granger and industrial stocks. st.
Paul and Burlington absorbed about
one-third o. the total dealings. a total
which fell below 10000 shares.

indication that the heaVinesS Of Friday
