Permanent Revival Not Anti
Cipated.

There has been no Vnause III 'ho
situation during the week on the Bos-
ton wool market, says the Boston
Commercial Bulletin. Demand has
continued moderate and transfers
limited to small quantities, largely OF
territory wool. and Of the kind suited
to the requirements Of French worsted
spinners, who for q fortnight past
have been practically the only impor-
tant buyers heard from. Large
| worsted mills are not interested to
any extent in local offerings, having
located the most desirable parcels in
the event of their needing them later
on. For strictly staple WOODS, there
fore, current inquiry is limited. The
same IS true of strictly clothing stock
short woods generally meeting with
moderate sale. On the whole the sit
uation is extremely quiet, and there
is no Immediate prospect of any ma
terial change for the better in the de-
mand. A quiet period is looked for
ward to during the balance of the
month.
What will be the outcome of the
new heavy weight goods season Is
doubtful. Opinions in some quarters
are hopeful, while or the other hand
there are both manufacturers ana
wool dealers who look for no radlcal
Improvement in manufacturing con-
ditions from those prevailing lor
some time.
1t is said that tariff agitation and
outside influences are against any
permanent revival in the wooden in
dustry. To offset these, however, is
the strong situation OF goods n
clothing. stocks of which are I'M
doubtedly small throughout the
country. while ~seasonable weather en-
courages consumption. Whatever IS
In store. it is certain that the future
of wool depends upon the develop
ments in the goods situation. II
these are favorable there will be an
outlet for the supplies now on hand
the prospects for the free distribution
Of domestic being enhanced by the
small holdings of foreign, and the
fact that comparatively little has
been secured to date in foreign ptl-
mary markets for importation into
the United states. Dealers, it is said,
have bought almost nothing in Aus
tralia and South America and manu-
f|acturers only such quantities as they
have a place for. At the London auc-
ton sales which closed early in the
week only 200 bales were secured for
the United states. Advices from
authoritative sources state that 1t Is
probable that only small supplies of
wool suitable for the United States
will become available in London the
coming season. A Melbourne cable
gram says that Continental and Eng
fish spinners are buying heavily of
both cross-breds and merinos and Of
the American class of wool, the latter
feature being significant.

especially to be found abroad. Val
ues appear to be steady and there Is
absolutely no pressure to sell desir-
able stock, and little more h is
usual at the close Of the year to IN
load undesirable. Consigned woods
are not a serious menace to values as
yet. owners are no doubt anxious to
dispose Of them, but show no DISPOSE

however, ready to accept market val
ues and have shaded previous high
limits. A couple of months ago they
were advising their agents to hold

New York Wool Market.
Sales of CARPET wool involving large
lots are reported this week in the
New York wool market. Apparently
buyers have walked up to the fact that
dealers are able to hold strong, for
what wool there is now in this coun-
try. which. by the way. appears TO be
less than YVES generally supposed
The fact that carpet woods v been
bringing stronger prices in the pri-
mary markets, as well as at the Liver
pool auctions, Is of course another
strengthening element in the market
here. The estimated transactions this
week are about 2,5OO.0 900 pounu-,
while II is said that one lot of 1000
600 pounds Of China worsted and fill
ing stock was involved in the weeks
trading.
Withdrawals from warehouse this
week were 2,175,745 pounds AS
against 403,7 pounds warehoused,
and 1~1O,4O3,530 pounds entered for
consumption.
Imports of carpet woods for the
first ten months OF this year show q
sharp decrease from last year. there
being $685. 600 pounds imported In
1910 as against 11O.403,5 $50 pounds in
1909, valued at ~SS.76O,49S in 1916 n
sI2. 91O.90T in 1903. the heaviest de-
crease being in the imports from the
United Kingdom. which fell off nearly
