The Wool Markets. Manufacturers, DC

What is the prospect of the Wool Markets2
is question that begins 10 be asked almost eve.
rytay by hundreds Of sheep farmers in Ohio.
As far as we can form an opinion from the
eastern papers, we think there is not much rea.
ron to expect that prices will range materially
different Irom-lhose Of last year, though we OBJ
serve some persons think they will! be lower
ltmay happen that owing to embarrassment a.
mong manufacturers in Europe, prices there
will decline and imporalions Of wool into this
country increase; bul we do not anticipate much
effect on prices here from this source; and the
general prosperity and extension Of manuacto-
ries in the United States, we think will more
than offset the probable decline elsewhere.
The editor Of the Prairie Farmer, after much
inquiry, thinks that prices of wool will not be
as high this year as last, owing to enormous i'm.
porlallons from abroad and The small profits rea-
lized Of late by American manufacturers. But,
he adds, "lhe prospects may improve as The sea.
son advances; and perhaps the wool growers
can endure decline in price the present season
better than any previous one. Sheep have win
tered remarkably well, and will probably shear
better than usual. There are also better Gacili-,
ties for getting the clip to market than ever; and
the establishment of wool depots will probably
enable the farmer to get nearer the actual value,
of his wool than heretofore"
We have seen a recent letter from Mr.. t. c.
Peters, of the Buffalo Wool depot, addressed to
a wool grower of this State, in which he gives it
as his opinion that the different grades Of wool
will bring about the same prices as last year, viz:
from 26 to about 46 cts. per lb.-[ Ohio Cult.
