en- of nearly 81 per cent from the previous
week. notwithstanding this fact, the market
is possessed OF more interest now THAI then.
Though much less active. there is a broader
market. Where, a short time since. half

osgerness to pick up round amounts OF staple
territory. there is now widespread inquiry
iron. mills OF every class for wool OF
great many different grades, and the better
inquiry is vaguely Indicative OF a good mar
kef In n short time. Territory woods. espe-

been inquired for. as have certain lines OF
