WOOL-Boston, April 9.-The wool mar
| ket heDe, though not so active as last
week, is very steady. Dealers are hope
full and entertain the impression that the
.deEl ession which has held the market for
| the past two years has at length ceased
and are looking forward to better bust
ness and they now think a market value
has been established. The situation, how
ever, is hardly such that raise in values
will be Immediately forthcoming The
bulk of the business transacted has been
| in the territory grades. For fine medium
and fine the secured basis is about 40G143c
while the strictly staple calls for 44045c
