The past. week has been the most remark
able one ever known in the Boston wool
market in point of activity. For the first
time in its history the weekly record has
crossed the 10000, 000- pound mark the ac-
itual sales. SO far as We can ascertain be-
ing q, 557, 500 pounds. This astonishing
showing is the result of an active market,
largely from consumers Of all descrip-
tons. AS to prices, the tone Of the mar
ket Is very strong. Advices from abroad
continue to show a hardening tendency.
understanding the radical advance
which has occurred in American markets,
prices of wool in this country are still
relatively considerably lower than those
abroad, and there are many who believe
that there is to be no permanent relief
until more wool is grown generally
The sales of the week in Boston
amounted to 1907 pounds domestic and
24so. 500 pounds foreign making a total OF
2l,5S7, 500 pounds, against a total of 10
OIL. 200 pounds for the previous week and
a total of 100000 pounds for the CORE
spending week last year.
Sales since Jan. l. 1880. amount to no.
6o2.s00 pounds, against 102, 525,510 pounds
