The Boston Commercial Bulletin.
reviewing last weeks wool market
conditions. says In part.
\ That the week has seen little Inn
provement IL unanimously agreed
through the wool trade. Buyers have
shown no anxiety 10 take any consid-
cradle quantity VI raw material and
prices az the moment are not estab-
llshed In the trade with any certainty.
although the majority of the wool
merchants declare with no little EN-
phasis that there e a basis below

cheap money with which to carry his
holdings.
Wooden manufacturers have not
been keen buyers at all but they have
taken a fair quantity OF secured stock
out OF the market during the past few
days and they continue TO pay fairly
hrm prices FOR such stocks as they
actually have need for. Worsted
manufacturers are not taking much
wool but the few sales that have oc-

that prices only a little under world
market values have a distinct appeal
to their Imagination.
