 To briefly summarize, there 7e,31s,017 pounds of wool in the United States to-day outside of manufacturers hands. against 223, = 7ls, 29e pounds at the close of 1897. The amount in the three principal markets Is IA, 51, ,446 pounds against 15S, ,754. .296 year ago, and 144,- while the stocks in the three leading markets are 14 lS2. $50 pounds smaller than year ago. the stocks throughout the entire country are 55 557, ,721 pounds larger. Wool has come for ward from the West much more slowly than usual This may be illustrated by the fact this year have amounted to only S0, ,969 900 pounds against 1sO, 9l6 400 pounds in 1897. a falling off of practically 50 per cent In fact the sales in Boston during 1897 were 10, 4S6 pounds larger than the total receipts of both domestic and foreign. The sales in Boston pounds in the previous year. The sales in the three leading markets of the country 230,- 4s6 3S5 pounds, against 527 055, ,375 in 1897.

The average weekly sales in the three leading markets were about 4,500 coo pounds, compared with over 10, ,000. 900 pounds in 1897.
 Nominal quotations on wool were fairly well maintained during the larger part of the year. but In the last quarter there was decline to g lower level, in which even foreign wools shared.
 At the opening of the year fine and fine medium territory was quoted a clean basis of 50c, against 42G4Sc at the close of December.
