The following are the Western
Stockman's reports covering condi-
tions in the -four big wool markets
during the past week:
Boston Wool Market.
1t is a period of s~pecialties, De-
mand shows this tendency, as well
as the upward movement of prices.
Thus the call for one-quarter blood,
three-eighths blood and delaine in
heeces and for staple clips in terri
tory. and to a marked degree in Ore
gon woods. is good. In the matter of
prices these are the only descriptions
that have shown a decided advance.
Other wool is selling more readily at
prices that could not be obtained
when the situation was depressed. The
status OF strictly clothing stock has
not materially improved. There is no
general activity, and with supplies ae-
cumulating it is very doubtful if what
may be termed an active market, APP
plying to all branches of the trade,
will be experienced this summer or
fall. Manufacturers are disposed to
act cautiously in acquiring supplies of
raw material, taking on no more than
they feel confident they will require.
Because much of the supply now be-
ing contracted for is for future use,
cannot be taken as an indication of a
change in the attitude of buyers to-
ward the market. Specialties are be-
ing bought to some extern because
manufacturers do not wish to get left.
as the supply to go around is not ex-
cessive and might be quietly cornered
before were aware of the
fact. Such supplies are an absolute
necessity to several manufacturers,
and can probably be acquired as
cheaply as in the future.
New York Wool Market.
1t is again reported that sales OF
carpet woods are being made. although
show a continued lack of in
clination to divulge the prices agreed
upon, or the quantities moved. The
removals of wool from warehouse
have been larger this week han for
time, while the arrivals have
been smaller. 1t has been long under
that the arrivals from the pri-
mary markets have materially lessen
I'd this year and manufacturers are
more fully approaching this fact as Is
evidenced by their increased takings
If the raw material.
The prices ruling in China woods
ire alike unsatisfactory to commission
men and owners and, as a result. the
are less inclined to SEND their
vools to this port. During the last
'leven months the shipments have

The market remains comparatively ,
