BOSTON, Feb. 15.—The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will éay to-morrow: There fs a good volume ‘of business to report for the past week, notwithstanding the cold and stormy weather, which practically brought |®rading to a standstill for at least two days. Manufacturers are getting some orders for goods and there is a little more inquiry for wool. Orders for goods for the most part, how- ver, have been small, the clothing trade buy- ing’ with great conservatism, so that thus far the result of the heavy-weight season has been a disappointment with most of the mills. The sales of the week in Boston amounted to 3,087,000 pounds domestic and 1,280,500 foreign, a total of 4,267,500, against a total of 4,260,600 for the previous week and a total of 2,674,800 for the corresponding week last year. Sales since January 1, 1899, amount to 26,509~ o pounds, against 29,309,480 last year at this time. BUSINESS. —Clearances, $243,~ PORTLAND! PORTLAND, Or., Feb. 15 195; balances, $45,190.
