BOSTON WOOL MARKET.

BOSTON July 1.-THE wool market this
week continues strong and values fully
maintained. The demand is fairly good, but
represents speculative purchases by dealers
well as buying for manufacturers. The bulk of
the business doing is yet in Territory grades,
Including California, Texas and Oregon. The
total sales of these woods for the week footed
up to about $500. .000 pounds, and the price OBJ
tanned IS better for the good woods. For good
lots containing a fair amount of staple the
market is Quotable on the secured at 4SQ5Oc
for fine medium and fine, with choice staple
lines at b2q54c.
FIeeces are quoted higher and some sales
have been made at the advance but Territory
woods have had the bulk of the business for
many months past. Washed ieeces are quoted
about l cent higher in sympathy with other
woos Pulled woods hold firm, with prices
hardening on the finer grades but coarser
woods yet quieter.

FRUIT AND SALMON IN ENGLAND.

California fruits continue IN good demand
at firm rates. For the 1899 pack Gamers have
withdrawn their offers, but resales have taken
place at hardening rates." says the London
Grocers' Gazette. and reports the salmon mar
ket as follows: There is no Quotable change in
this market. The consumptive demand has i'm
proved slightly, but the inquiry from first
hands Is extremely limited and as a matter
OF fact dealers are in some cases Offering at
lower prices than those demanded by packers
present time a somewhat curious one. On the
one hand packers state that prices must go
higher in consequence of the increased cost OF
production while the demand from the United
States for all classes of timed provisions is
from that market. Many of the dealers and
wholesale houses here, however. take the op-
r1osite view. being of opinion that the market
is at present too high, and they support their
opinion by selling from the stocks they hold
on hand at less than they can purchase at the
