PHILADELPHIA, July 19.—There is but little doing in wool, but the market is somewhat feverish and manufactur- | ers are buying merely for immediate | needs. The tone of the market indi- | cates an advance. The usual midsum- | | mer dullness characterizes the dry goods | | trade at present, and there is not much | doing. The strike among the carpet | weavers still continues.
