WOOL MARKET.

Boston, Aug S-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow
"A fair business has been transacted In
the wool market during the past week.
The demand cannot as yet be considered
as very excessive, consumers are still
conservatively inclined. They are gaug-
ing their purchases in accordance with
actual requirements and are still d s.
posed to do a good bit of ''chopping' be-
fore finally purchasing. The manufac-
turers are especially looking for weak
spots, but do not succeed In finding
them. The tendency of prices is firm,
and holders in some instances have been
able to get slightly better prices in
some lines than they could have obtain
ed two or three weeks ago. While the
new light weight season has not started
in as actively as some anticipated, the
present season continues to develop. IN
the west, notably in Montana, thsre has
been more activity in new woods lately
at firmer prices The sales of the week
amount to 2,9n pounds domestic and
4eZ. 900 pounds foreign. making a total OF
{, 34S, 600 against total of 326s 500 for the
previous week and a total of 6,S91 for the
corresponding week last year. The sales
since January /. amount to S0S9S,7'0
pounds, against 10, 1900 pounds for the
corresponding time last year.
