Sales have been few and far between and usually for off sorts or spe cialties, the sale of which did not typify the market but which evi dently Indicated . a softer price basis, especially for the finer wools. -- .: . - "Medium wools keep reasonably firm, although it is not easy to get 40 cents delivered for medium Ohio-Michigan or Missouri, country-packed.' A bid of 38 cents, however, was rejected. Some fine and half-blood average wools have been taken in Montana this week in the range of 75-80 cents, clean basis, at Boston, and some choice staple new Mexican at 80-82 cents,, clean basis. - - "Civilian goods trade is still disappointing and the mills with government orders appear to be well covered against current re quirements. "Offerings of South American wools - are less pronounced, al though a fair weight ot various off types of wool have been bought for - import at relatively low - prices which usually go to European consumers. - "Mohair la a bit soft, too. Sales in Texas of 50,000 pounds are re ported at 50 and 60 cents, respec tively, for adult and kid and a like quantity at 2 cents less for each description."
