I WOsL-Duiing the last two or three
months The operations in this article have
been exceedingly limited. scarcely any sales
having been made in our market of suffic-
tent extent to render them worty of being re-
ported. Many manufacturers have been
compelled by the pressure of the times to
suspend operations and close their factories !;
Others who have been operating no further
than to work up the stocks they had on
hand, with determination of then closing
their mills until there should be a deuand
for goods, which have been accumulatine
for several months past, and for which there
has been, and still continues to be. but liz.
tie, If any, demand. There is a fair SUM-
ply OF fleece Wool in market, and it is gem
orally understood that there is an unusually
large quantity Of the last clip held in the in
terror, by growers and speculators, who
have withheld their wool from market in
expectation of realizing an advance on the
exSravagantly high prices that were paid du-
ring the last summer and autumn. In 1929
ana 1850, when the manufacturing bust.
ness was very much depressed, the princi-
pal part of the Wool shOrn in these two
years was sold at from 25 to 4Oc per 10.
Since 1880, prices have been advancing.
with occasional fluctuations, until they had |
reached an advance on the prices named,
OF about one hundred per cent. Consider
ing the limited demand for all descriptions
of Woollens, the fact that many factories
will not be operated at all, and others only /
IN part, and 1t being also known that so
large portion of the last years clip is un-
sold, aud that an unusually large new clip
IS about ready for the market, it seems but
reasonable to expect that prices, for some
ime 70 come, will range quite as low as
hey have done nt any period within the
asst ten years. We learn from several large
districts, that The growers ex-
'ect to submit to this great reduction in {
'rices. But even at these low prices, it is
hardly probable that very extensive sales ,
hn he made at present, owing to the fact {
hat the funds of nearly all the manufacture ,
RS are absorbed by the large amount of
oods they are compelled to hold. OF pull i,
q Wool there is but limited quantity in +
narket, but quite enough for the demand. Z
here IS fair supply of coarse foreign, f
at we do not learn that there is any de- h
'and for this description. Any prices we
ould quote would be merely nominal, and
&c shall, therefore, omit quotations until II

The following unpromising account o
the condition of the trade in New York
is given in the Journal Commerce
WooL.-This is the month in which il
is usual for The farmers to bring their wool
to market, or rather, in which the manu-
facturers and dealers have been accustomed
to scour the country post haste, grasping
every thing upon which they can lay their
hands. The sheep have probably yielded
their heeces as usual, but as to buying there
is dead and still silence. No one goes to
the wool, and the wool, which 10 brought to
market, finds no buyers. Some barter
trades might be made for goods at the prices
Of last year on both sides, but for cash we
should think 30 to 81 cents, would cover
The whole range Of prices for native wool,
aud even at such prices, or at any prices at
all we hear of no buyers. Wool however
will be again wanted, and at no distant dav.
IN The mean time, there are no men so well
able to hold it as our farmers, and especial
Iy the wool growers, than whom more
independent class of men do not walk the
earth.

ARRIVAL OF IRoN.-Two Swedish ves-
sells, one the ship Hilda, the other the brig
Elizabeth, have recently arrived here with
iron to the Fall River Irof Works Co., aud
are now dIscharging their freight at the
wharves. 1t is gratifying, amid the en-
barrassments Of trade, to see occasionally
the active hustle of business on our wharves
aud IN our streets and great credit is due
to many of the Companies and to indi,d-
uals in this place for their endeayors to fur
nish employment to hundreds Of our indus.
trous citizens whose means of subsistence
depend upon their daily labor. And espe-
ciaily, as much of the business at the pre-
sent time, must be done without any pro-
fit and some at loss. But one of the many
manufacturers in this town, we believe, has
stopped, although all have been compelled
by the pressure of the tunes To curtai their
business, aud Of necessity Obliged to dis
miss much of their help Nearly every
establishment is filed to
overfowing with manufactured goods
But when, or how, or where marke, will
be found for these goods, SO as to secure
the owners from loss, remains among the
things We, unknown.-F Fail Riper Monitor.

IExAs.-An impression prevails that
Mexico continues to make great prepara-
lions to attack Texns.-To show that there
Is no probability Of such an attack being
made, we subjon the following from Ma
tamoras of a very late date.
The expedition to Texas it appears is
postponed until next year! The cause as
signed is that Mexico could no, raise the
necessary funds for that object; but i, is
my opinion the troops were rather unwilling
to move IN that quarter. 1t is most proba-
bic that the expedition will be mdefn!,ely
postponed The Mexican force here at
present consists of about $500 good dis
ciplined troops, well clothed and fed, 1000
of which are cavalry. The advanced post,
(Which was at the Aroy Colorado, I2 miles
from this,) consisting of so men, had shir-
misl short lime since with some Lcpan,
Indians, headed by Castro. The Indians
proved victorious, completely routing the
Mexicans, killing AZ men, and severely
woundlng the other z, since which there has
been no advance post on the other side of
the Rio Grande.
a rumor was aAoat yesterday that the
states of Zlcatecas, Louna, and chihuahua
have pronounced against the present gov
ernment, and for the constitution of 1924.
The rumor is generally credited, as it is |
well known that the country in general is /
very dissatisfied with the present state of
affairs. ~ Y Ere Star.

arrived at Garey's Ferry on Friday last
from Tampa, which place he left on the

not induced suspicion on the part of the
officers of the Army, that they intended to

Their reasons for leaving are, as detailed
In several letters, that they became alarmed
from the appearance ofthe measels at Tam
pa, which the Indians mistook for small
pox. Abraham, the negro chief and in
terpreter, is still at Tampa Bay, as Capt
D'L. has been informed.
Micanopy sent word to Gen. Jesup, that
he had straight tongue"-implying that
he would fulfil his engagements.
Philip and other chiefs had been in the
camp at Lake monroe Fort Mellon)-I
Philip looking emaciated. They had ap-
peared owing "a message Of Col. Har-
ney that he would issue no rations unless
the Chiefs came in propria persona.
The report that several men had been
murdered (near Big Spring. is declared to
be totally unfounded. Major Whirng tra-
