 Manufacturers are making in- quiries in the wool market but on account of the quietness in the mar ket on cloth they are not taking on any nor ewool than Is required for current orders. Resistance to further declines in prices on do- mestic wools appears to be fairly firm despite a slow demand, as the large wool houses are not pushing sales and some have refused low bids on offerings. The receipts of domestic wools at Boston during the week ending October 8 amounted to 4S7,900 pounds as com pared with 375,900 pounds during the previous week."
