FOR WOOL
SHOWS DECIDED
IMPROVEMENT
VOLUME OF TRADE HAS
CONSIDERABLY ADVANCED
Large Business Expected Dur
: ing the Next Two Weeks,
While Prices Continue to
Hold Firm.

Boston, Mass, Sept. 2S.-As far as
the volume of trade in wool IS con-
lcerned the market has improved dur
| ing the past week. a number of the
large houses having sold considerable
amounts of wool suitable for worsted
purposes. The financial situation Is
inclined to work easier, and the big
consumers, including nearly all classes
of mills, have shown mOlc disposition
to take hold, comments the Wool and
Cotton reporter.
Demand Is Quite General.
Demand has been quite general. and
lots of sampling has been done, which
! is pretty sure to be reflected in good
sized volume of business before long.
Indeed, ii would not be surprising if n
large volume was in progress IN he
course of the next two weeks, some
| deals, now pending which would have
been put through two or tree weeks
ago if the mills had felt more at ease
over the financial outlook. The de-
lmand has extended to unWashed de-
laine and three-eighths tblood gun-
washed fleeces, the inquiry for the lat
ter having improved decidedly of late.
IQuarter bloods are as yet slow, all
though here and there some inquiry
is noted for this class of stock, which
the mills begin to provide for their
requirements for the heavy weight
goods.
Prices Hold Firm.
Prices are generally firm and 70
concessions made in any of the sales
of domestic woods the past week.
Holders of good woods are quite stiff
in their views, and are so confident
as to the outcome of the situation that
offers for wool which have been only
Ione-half cent below asking prices
have been turned down.
Domestic FIeeces Active.
For domestic ieeces there is a good
healthy inquiry, especially for the
three-eighths, half-blood and delaine
woods. The three-eighths are selling
better to the worsted people, and
among the sales of the week were
$4,000 pounds of three -eighths Ohio
at 33 nc; also $4,000 pounds at price'
within the range of S3c to 34c. Hall
bloods sell at 33 1kc to 34c for Ohlos
and 80 to S3c for Michigans. A little
Inquiry has been experienced for
iquarter bloods, but no transactions
of any size have been put through
A few quarter blood bright woods were
taken at soc and little Ohio at 31c.
Delaine Woods Firm.
Delaine woods are not in large sup
ply and prices are firm. The inquiry
of the past week has been mostly fol
the unwashed delaine, and among the
sales was one of 1000 pounds ol
Ohio unwashed. with a little unmer-
chantable at 32kc Another lot OF
unwashed delaine sold at 81 032c.
