BOSTON WOOL MARKET.

BOSTON, Jan. 12.-The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow The sales this week have fallen off nearly 57 Der cent from the previous week. Notwithstand- ing this fact the market Is possessed of more interesting features now than then.
 Though much less active. it is a broader market. Where a short time since a half dozen gigantic mills were absorbing all etten- tion by reason of their eagerness to pick m round amounts of staple territory. there is now a widespread inquiry from mills of every class for wool of a great manv different grades and better inquiry is highly indicative of an active market in a very short time.
 Territory wools. especially those having sta pie in them. have been inquired for as have certain lines of fleece. pulled wools and greasy capes.
 Prices are fully firm as a week ago and in some cases are more so. notably in Delaine woois.
 A large business is anticipated by everybody within few weeks, and there is consequently every fnducement to keep quotations at a high figure. The sales of the week amount to 2.2S 900 pounds domestic and n72.o 900 pounds foreign, as against a total of .0e0 for the preyiOuS week
