Wool Market.

BOSTON, April 24.-WOOL-The CONNER
cial Bulletin says of the wool market In
tomorrow's issue: The market contains a
pretty poor assortment OF OLD wool. Good
woods are steady and lower, but a large
proportion OF the sales Of the week are
ordered, lots of 10 and u bags, largely Of
medium woods. and on such there have
been some concessions. The market sho IS
more inquiry than trade. The chief i'm
pediment in the way Of a better business
is the decidedly sluggish market for CsuthS.
Recorders for heavyweights are not wholly
satisfactory and II Is more and more evil
dent that manufacturers owned much larger
supplies on January l than was supposed.
The cold weather has checked shearing IN
the west and the fact that wool there seems
frmer than on the eastern seaboard Is ne.
counted for In part by the fact that banks
are lending in the wool district for / per
cent less than Is charged In this vicinity.
The shipments Of wool from Boston to
date since December 81 are so, 7ll, $40 lbs,
against 81, ~, 091 lbs. at the same date last
year. The receipts today are 65.526, 243 lbs,
against S,319,441 lbs. for the same period
