WOOL RKET-Boston,. Jan. 9-The
American Wool Grower and Reporter viii
say of the wool trade tomorrow: THE
quiet prevalent in Boston's wool district
at the last writing has not been in any
any great measure diSpelled, and many
Of the dealers are much buster hoping
for sales thar in filing orders. There
have been more inquiries, more searches
Ior barga1ns than there were last week.
Buyers In the market who are making
actual purchases are doing it in an al
most ultra-conservative way, buying less
than they really need in many cases.
The attitude is one or willingness TO
allow the merchant to carry the large
supply of available wool which is in the
SeabOard markets in the hope that the
merchant may feel it wise to make fur
ther price concession than have thus far
come to light The sales for the week
