LUMBER.-All the conspicuous features of
the market for spruce lumber are retained
Buyers are quite numerous and very urgent
and merchants here are doing their best to
accommodate them, but the results are not
always satisfactory, as the Maine sawmills
continue to turn down many of the orders
sent them Already, they say, they have
all they can do for weeks to come and
the' do not wish TO promise more than they
can perform. Chances OF improvement in
this matter in the way OF supplies are not
encouraging. The report of the surveyor
general OF the port OF Bangor for the quar-
ter ending Sept 30, shows that in the three
months the survey OF spruce lumber
amounted to but "a 724,7SI feet, as against
80 29O,299 for the corresponding period last
year.

WooL.-Seldom has more embarrassing
week passed over the wool trade OF the
| United States. In the great central market
| OF Boston there Is little or nothing doing
] that indicates the slightest change in the
| situation The transactions OF the week
| are limited, and we're it not for one or tive
large purchases they would be small. The
general tone OF the trade is extremely quiet,
and II wool were pushed for sale lower
prices would unquestionably result. For
tunately 1t Is not pushed for sale. Money in
not tight, and thou h the stock here is very
large, as will be noted above, it is known
that the wool Of the country is concen-
rated here, and probably there has never
been at this date 80 small an amount of
| concealed supplies. Consequently he mar
ket, though decidedly quiet, is ~ decidedly
strong. Nearly every sizable house is sold
far ahead, and though sales are few ship
ments are large.
