The Markets
Boston Wool Market,

There Is a better feeling In wool circles
than was apparent month ago, but it Is
not encouraged by the amount of bust
ness from mills. During the past week
trading has been quiet and volume of
sales is small, some of the largest con-
Germs moving only sample lots, the trans
fers of siza BILE quantities being confined
to two or three firms. Not sale of i'm
portance in fleece woods is made public,
and in Territory clips the large transfers
have been few Secured woods are dull
and little is being accomplished in pulled
stock. The movement in foreign clothing
woods has been very small and imported
carpet, woods continue depressed 1t has
been the quietest week of the year in the
experience of some dealers and in the
light of previous depression this means
much
dome site points during the week ending
Wednesday aggregating nearly 100000
pounds. making arrivals of domestic
woods alone the past fortnight approx
period there has been shipped out about
100000 pounds, so that stocks are in
creasing about as usual at this period of
the year. Receipts from the Montana
clip are arriving freely and are being
opened in various houses.
In view of the severe liquidation in
wool the past six months and the fairly
low price level, authorities with manv
years experience in the business believe
that there is little chance for prices TO
go lower but that there will have to be
a fairly strong demand for values to hold
steadily There seems to be little doubt
about the position of staple grades. the
supply of which is not excessive. and
which would be readily absorbed with
machinery running on worsted fabrics
There IS scepticism, however. about the
any weakness developed during the next
few months 1t is thought that it will first
be noticed in these However most
dealers take a fairly cheerful view and
I'D fnr tto \ and r.,
improve before making an attempt to I'M
load 1t Is a waiting market and one
that has possibilities Of quick revival
when once improvement begins.
