Show Boston Wool Market. BOSTON. Feb. 21 The Commercial Bulletin will sav Saturday; "There Is a better tone in the wool market, due not only to tn- fact that the government is believed to be at tle rlat of placing further large orders, but also to the belief that the supply situation is bound to add strength, partier.larly the upw-ard trend of values in South America, where prices were higher for the week by a cent or two per pound. Prices locally have not been large, but have been generally gen-erally firm, except for short fine wools. The demand is fairly keen for good quarter quar-ter and three-eighths wools, both foreign and domestic." Scoured basis: Texas: Fine 12 months, ?1.6S.;fi 1.72; fine S months. $1,554 1.60.
