Prices Are Received for All Sales.
Montana wool is still selling at good
prices on the Boston market and clips
were sold last week, according to the
American Wool and Cotton Reporter,
that brought 21 cents in the grease.
The sales for the week amounted to
3,465, 600 pounds. This is a slight
falling off over the week previous, but
considering the time of the year, that
volume of business is considered good.
Concerning the situation the American
Wool and Cotton Reporter says:
zone element of strength in the situ-
alton is the fact that stocks here are
light, and it would not require very
long continuance of good demand to
Gle an off what stock there is available
here. Prices therefore are steadily
maintained Notwithstanding the quiet
ness prevailing, although even slight
concession on the part of those who
have any stable stock to sell would

a considerable amount of wool.
GOODS WELL SOLD UP.
In number of cases millmen report
that they are we'll sold up, but taking
the heavyweight goods, as a whole, it
cannot be said that they have moved
very rapidly. Woolens have sold COM
paratively better than worsteds. The
business which has been placed, how
ever, possesses a stability which has
been lacking in some previous seasons.
The developments of the goods season
have not been of a character thus far
to create anything like hurrah in the
trade and consumers, as whole, are
operating in the wool market with
great conservatism and care, taking
only such stock as they absolutely
need. The result of this cautious pro-
cedure on the part of the manufacturers
is reflected in somewhat reduced sales
from Jan. to date, as compared with
those of the corresponding time in 1902.
The heavyweight goods season is young
yet, however, and a great deal may
happen between now and the end of
the next three months.
1.-THE news from the west is of a
rather interesting character this week.
Some of the early shorn wools in Ari-
zona have already been taken, and last
week it is reported that about $4,000
pounds were sold to a Boston house at

13c. They are said, however, to be
of lighter shrinkage than they were
last year, but will cost, clean, landed,

TERRITORIES SELL WELL.
ga number of good sized lines of
territories were sold last week, but the
bulk of the business has consisted
of mostly medium sized lots. The tone
of the market as to prices is very firm,
however, and what business has been
done, has been generally at full prices.
