BOSTON, March 1.-The wool market here re-
mains quiet and the tone is little easier. Deal
ers regard the outlook as strong and there is no
attemDt to force prices. Territory woods are slow
end about the only weakness of the whole mar
ket is shown in the prices for this class, while
good parcels OF fine medium and fine territory
wool are yet at Soc and lots of these woods can
be purchased for 47c any large lines. Fleece
woods are not meeting with much demand, but
the market maintains a firm tone. Australian

Dry Gnods.

NEW YORK, March 1.-The situation in dry
goods shows no change OF moment. Trading at
first hands is perfunctory. The mail order bust
ness is of small dimensions. The price tone in
both cottons and woolens is strong. Wooden and
worsted goods are selling less freely than hereto
fore. Agents not pressing sales, as the course
of the WOODEN market is still matter of specua-
ton. Recorders are fairly heavy, but new goods
are taken with considerable conservatism. Staple
cottons show about the same conditions as have
prevailed heretofore. Print cloths are unchanged
in quotation. Prints firm and generally well
distributed in demand.
