BOSTON, Jan. 22 lT) Tho Com mercial Bulletin will say tomorrow: "Tnere has been a fairly good movement In wool again this week, although hardly so extensive as a week ago. The call Is chiefly for fine and half blood combing and woolen, wools, the lower of these grades being very firm. 1 . "The foreign markets keep along at a 'fairly steady pace and prices have varied but little during the wceic. There is a fairly good clearance re ported at London at steady rates. In the west there has been com paratively little happening. A little business on winter loans is reported and it Is figured that possibly 26, 000,000 pounds of wool has been tied up on three loans thus far to date. The manufacturing , position is promising fairly good business dur ing the next few weeks at least. Pine wooled goods, whether wor sted or woolen appear to have tho chief call. While prices on wool are steady, they are a bit dearer again this week. 'Mohair continues rather slow of sale and quotably without material change."
