EO.st0n, Jan. \.
The receipts Of wool for this week were
92i; bales domestic and 23Si bales for
eiSn. against S2lS bales domestic and
2.1lo bales foreign for the same time last
year.
RFMARkS-Thn year starts in the local
wool market with a fairly good business
in progress, with prices firm and with
sentiment among the trade generally opti-
mistic. Consumers maintain Il healthv
interest in the market and seem ready {,
buy when the particular grade or Kind
of stock they seek is to be had. The ste
tistical position of the market is strong.
Local holdings are little. if any, larger
than they We're q year ago and there does
not seem 10 be much doubt but that an
outlet will be found for practically all of
the stock that remains before the new
clips begin to arrive here in June Con-
cessions in prices for the purpose of max
ing sales are no longer heard Of: indeed
the present level is n pretty stable one.
and dealers are not finding much trouble,
in maintaining it. Adyices from abroad
