WOOL-Boston, April 3-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter will say OF
the wool trade tomorrow: The week just
passed has been remarkable, not only be-
cause of the large sales which have been
made, but that these sales have been
MADE With no QuOtable effect upon the
Price. There is felt to be a certain amount
of hesitation on the part of sellers to
make any great concession but on the
ether hand, there is determination on
the part of buyers not to pay any more
Tor wool than he has been giving for the
PAST few weeks. The bulk OF buying for
the past week has come from worsted
mills, and they have confined themselves
pretty extensively to fine medium terri
tory. Buyers have included such con-
Germs as the American Wooden company,
tlICIl nSS DSSI d LII buyer; Arlington
mills, Pacific mills and Wankusk com
pany: They have bought largely, but
carefully, with an eye to quality as well
as price The sales for the week in
