The Wool Trade.

As tho tmo for sheep shcaring IS now approach
ing, havo taken some pains to ascertain the
opinion Of doalcrs and others acquainted with tho
subject as 10 the prospects OF w DOL tor the COM
ing season. From the increased consumption OF
the past yoar and the expectation of fully 5OOO
bales Of native Wool to Europe, it appro-
hended tho stock might DO exhausted before q
now supply could be furnished from tho coming
crop. This feeling has now entirely ceased, for
although the stock in this and tho Eastern markets
is SMALL is usual at this period Of the year, it
is still sufficient for tho manufacturers, mos. of
whom have enough to keep them employed till
the now crop comes in.
Tho question is now conclusvely settled that
the production Of wool has become SO great IN
this country, that shall have considerable
surplus for expectation. and hence the price OF
the whole clip will in great measure be regu-
lated by its value in foreign markets, and as we
believe from the best data have been able TO
obtain, that most Of the Wool which has boon
shipped during the past season, has not produced
any profit to tho shipper, but Oh the contrary,
loss. Wo therefore think that prices will rule
some " hat lower in this market during tho COM
ing year than during the past. This scoms to DO
tho general opinion of intelligent merchants, and
others who have examined tho subject. Advlces
by the last state that trade in the English
manufacturing districts was less active than It
had been for many previous months, which SOL YES
TO confirm this opinion.
mo WORKING qualty OF American "ooi mas
proved very satisfactory to manufacturers IN
England, and is highly priced: but we have heard
many complaints of bad washing, and tho care
less and irregular manner in which II IS graded
and put up. Moro attention must be paid by the
growers and receivers Of Wool, TO these particu-
lars, in order 70 insure ready sale at the highest
prices. As tho shearing season progresses, wc
will cndeavor TO give our country friends some
correct information this subject, will as
other particulars respecting this very important
staple.
Our market has boon quito inactive during the
past week. most of the manufacturers having
supplies on hand. and those requiring wool pur-
chase only in small parcels to meet thor imrne-
date wants. The stocks arc unusually lgh, for
tho season. Tho weeks sales only reach 10000
lbs. at quo,ations.-l Phila. Commercial List,

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,

When the despatch for tho Telegraph was
made up, the Houso in committee Of tho
Whole. considering the bill from the Senate 10
increase the number of Pa ymas.ers in the Army.
Mr.. Johnson of Tenn, opposed the bill and
advocated economy and tho keeping down the
officers Of the Army and Navy TO as small u
number possible. Ho did not like this ctea-
ton of Government offices for iders untitled for
gaining livelihood by the exercise Of their OWN
physical or nlontaI faculties.
Mr.. Haralson defended the bill and explained
why it had become necessary to create these
now offices Of Paymas,ers.
Mr. Rathbun supported the proposition to
ate these now offices, but thought thoy ought to
be temporary in their nature.
Mr.. Stewart spoke tho bill and attacked tho
dominant party Of tho House for voting in body
against all propositions to allow tho volunteers
SO per month. He spared not tho ma jorty, but
scored them right and loft. He showed by
ference to the Journal, that all Of thon but eight
had voted to fix the pay at 81 per month without
bounty grant Of land. while every Wing but
five had voted to give tho volunteers $40 per
month. with grant of 100 acres of land ut The
end of the war! And this was the patriotism Of
those eight dollar per day "democrats," who, or
many OF whom, arc constantly charging the
Wings with opposition TO tho war either in feeling
or III action. He said that no referred to these
facts, as established by tho Journal, III order to
defend himself and his party from the unjust
attacks made upon them by their opponents.
Mr. Giddings spoke some ten minutes in de-
fence Of himself and those with whom he had
acted, against tho constant assaults which. he
said, Southern gentleman wero perpesua!ly hoop-
ing upon them He absolutely and literally
'carried the into Africa.
Mr.. Andrew Johnson again took tho floor and
defended the mechanics, tho blacksmiths, taiIors,
&c. against what he conceived to be the insidious
assaults of Mr.. Davis, of Mississippi. He gavo
historical sketch Of the great mechanics tho
world has produced in which he enumerated "the
Saviour of tho Wor!d,'' Aristides, Archimedes.
St. Paul, Gen'l. Washington. General Greon.
Franklin, Sherman and others. His speech was
highly entertaining.
Mr.. Bur, next got the floor. when a motion
was made to adjourn. and decided by yeas and
nays in the affirmatve-Sl to 81. So the
House adjourned.
