Boston— Wool— The market In domestic wool 
fully holds Its own both as to prices and amount 
ol sales, lu comparison with t.ne previous week. 
Somewhat over two million pounds nave been 
moved. Indicating a fair, quiet and healthy de¬ 
mand, especially considering the restrictions on 
business by the approaching close of the year. 
Fleeces have been comparatively oulet but Arm 
and unchanged, barge sales of choice Ohio could 
have been effected at ih ve, bur, holders of such 
are asking and holding lor 50c. There Is a lively 
demand tor line delame, and combing wools, but 
operations are limited by the very scant stocks. 
Prices or these have further hardened and are up 
about lc. The sales of California wool have been 
large, and are one of the special features of the 
week. A good deal has beeu done In Spring, In¬ 
cluding one sale ot nearly half a mllltoii pounds. 
There is also a sale of loo.oou lambs' wool, and one 
of 105.000 Fall. For the moment, 90rne manufac¬ 
turers seem to have turned to these and Texas and 
Territory wools Instead of deeces. Advices from 
the country are without special change and show 
that the most desirable wools there are very flrmly 
held. The lollowlng arc about prevent quotations:

Beeswax —Small sales are noted at ?8M@21 for

Butter.— 1 The movement has been slow ;tud it 
would not be surprising If some under good table 
grades soon show a weakness. The light supply ot 
tuncy and nm-olaas stock i« held strong, whether it 
sells or not. Some ot the celebrated low u brands ure 
reset Vs d at 2c. above the extreme. Hctuilersof or¬ 
dinary aud good market or grocery grades uo not 
seem pressed for stock ; many ot these buyers laid 
in a liberal quantity when prices were lower. West¬

and though high for Western suits the Winter 
purse better than State as thy hitter rules. Demand
