Wool.
BOSTON Feb. 9.-The American Wool and Cot
ton Reporter will say tomorrow of the wool
market: The past week has been a quiet one I'm
the wool market. Very few concerns have sold
large amounts and a considerable number have
done practically nothing beyond sending out sam
pie bags The largest amount of any particular
grade sold by any one house was in connection
with transfer of 600 600 pounds of Montana.
With this exception we do not recall a house
which has sold over 100000 pounds and some deal
ers who have repeatedly sold up the million
pound limit have since the last writing been
under the 100 900 pound mark. Most dealers agree
that there have been only very limited number
of customers in the market. On good wool there
is no disposition to shade prices, the fact of
course, always being borne in mind that on a dull
market tell how long it will be pos
sible to maintain quotations at full figures. On
old moth-eaten stock lower quotations be
obtained. The news from abroad is all of char
acter TO satisfy both the domestic wool dealer
and the domestic manufacturer. The sales of the
week amount to 100000 pounds domestic and
694 600 foreign making total of Bis 600 pounds,
against total of 4,137, 600 for the previous week.
NEW YORK, Feb 9.--The sixth auction sale of
the Wool Exchange took place at the Wool Elk
change building to-day and of exceptional

serve to the highest bidders The wool for
