In the west activity lias apparently increased in-creased in wool buying, while the exact contrary is true In Boston. Somo little flecco wool has sold principally at practically prac-tically unchanged prices, and In addition addi-tion the woolen mil's have como into the market for more East Indian wool than has been the case recently, but tho market mar-ket as a whole has been dull. Buving In the west has been confined to dealers and a great deal of the wool purchased has heen for St. Louis account, th" majority of the Boston dcalern operating cautiously. It is estimated that slightlv more than 10 per cent of the entire en-tire clip has been purchased, whllo considerable con-siderable more wool has been con- blt,boi'it 400 bales of South American wools have been shipped this week from Boston to England, the market there favoring such a course.
