Nevertheless a good steady inquiry for wool has prevailed and the tone of the market has re- mained firm. The week's business has not Dbeen characterized by the selling of many large lines of wool—most of the purchasing having been done by the medium or smaller sized mills, east of the which have taken falr average sized lots, most- | 1y at good prices. The consumption of wool is | unquestionably larger than it has been for some time and the wool trade feel that there is go- ing to be an outlet for practically all the wool which is now on hand: that the desirable Ter- ritorfal clips, as well as those of the Missisippl, will be wanted, and that a good steady going business may be looked for. The receipts of wool in Boston this week amounted to 15,76 bales, against 24,347 bales last week. The total receipts since January 1 have been 470,624 bales domestic and 102,584 bales foreign. | The sales of the week in Boston amounted to | 2,965,000 pounds domestic and 675,000, pounds for- | elgn, making a total of 4,640,000 pounds, against a total of 4,350,000 for the previous week. Shipments of wool for the week ending Sep- tember 2 were 5,108,752 pounds. This shows a decrease of 1,488,886 pounds over the shipments of 6,597,639 pounds for the previous week. Since January 1 the total shipments amount to 172,- 520,419 pounds: ° New York Metal Market. NEW YORK, Sept. 4.—Again there occurred a slight drop In the price of tin in metal circles to-day.
