WOOL MARKET

LONDON SALES. BRADFORD TORS FIRMER. LONDON, Thursday. The "Financial News,” reviewing n the closing of the London wool series, states that the sales have proved the general demand of wool for urgent requirements. It was a considerable achievement for London to clear stocks so advantageously in view of the slight decline noticeable in the Australian markets. The general trade trend appears to be toward a higher level of activity, with wool participating in the general recovery. The Bradford tops market has a firmer tendency, and there is rather more business doing. To-day’s quotations, compared with those previously cabled, are as follow: — Sept. 21. Sept. 28. Oct. 5. Oct. 12. Per lb. Per lb. Per lb. Per lb.
