BOSTON WOOL MARKET

A fairly good quality of wool has
been moving from Boston to the mills,
the principal demand coming from
worsted mills for choice territories,
Ohios and similar wools There has
also been moderate demand for
clothing wool. Prices have been main
tained on most grades. The settle
ment of the British coal strike has
given rise to the opinion that, given
even slight demand by English mills
able to start up, the wool market
viii react strongly and prices will
be higher. Foreign markets have
been strong, and considerable guam
tity must be imported by our mills
for heavyweight lines of goods. Do
mestic woods are becoming scarce, and
mill buying to date is reported TO
have been for immediate require
ments, no stocks being carried. Local
dealers are optimistic ON the basis
Of the facts given above. Top makers
are still quiet, with prices slightly
easier.
