~ Some time ago, the Wool Grocer spec
ulated as follows, indicating 65,000000 lbs. as
the quantity which will probably be wanted the
present year for domestic consumption.
"New England contains, at this time, four
hundred wooden factories, capable Of consuming,
when in full operation, thirty-five million pounds
of wool. To supply this quantity she has the
surplus received through the New York canals,
three-fourths of the importatOns, about one
quarter of Pennsylvania receipts, and the surplus
from her own wool growers; New York canals,
1871, 400 lbs ; New England surplus, say 5000
600; "a importations, l3,40l 900; IA Pcnnsyl-
vania receipts. 100000 Total for New Eng
land, 32,4l2, 500 lbs.
New York produces about twenty millions,
and there was received from the west, b., the
way of Buffalo, eight millions and quarter more,
which would leave about eight millions, after
deducting the amount received through the canals
for home consumption. But to this is to be adj
ded about four millions of foreign wool, making
total consumption of, at least, twelve millions.
Pennsylvania and New Jersey consume about ten
millions more, and the consumption in all other
States will make about six millions more. Ii
would require then, for the consumption of the
manufactures, for the coming year, if the fabric
should be in brisk demand, not less than sixty
five millions Of pounds"
In Macomb, Michigan, about 100000 lbs. wool
has been purchased this year already, which is
double the product Of that country in any pre-
vious year The average price has been about
80 cts per pound.
The shipments east from Buffalo the las two
days of June, amounted to l74,69O lbs.-CG-

Great conflagration at Hudson.

4" HUDSON, N. \, July l3, A. NJ.
We were visited at an carly hour this morn
ing by a severe conflagratOn, which has destroy
ed about twenty buildings and caused consider
able distress to some of the occupants thereof,
many of whom are poor, and were obliged to
flee from the flames, saving nothing except what
they had on.
The fire was first discovered in the furniture
and cabinet warehouse of Mr.. BuXbury, and
spread rapidly to Marcy's lumber yard, Hoffman
& Van Duzers store, Toby's paint shop; the
brick dry goods store; Charotte's cabinet ware
room, and eight or ten dwellings,, the whole Of
which Notwithstanding the eXertions of the fire
department., were destroyed The flames are
not yet entirely got under, but it is not probable
they will extend much farther.
'Phe loss is estimated ut $4,000 to 100000,
about one half of which is covered by insu-
rance.

TIE New CoMET.-A correspondent of the
n. Y Evening Post, writing from Columbia Col
cge, states that the new comet is now distinctly
visible to the naked eye. The writer says " the
Comet looks like star, Of the fifth magnitude but
by viewing it attentively, il will be discovered to
have haze surrounding it. There is star
ID 'Bootes) of the fifth magnitude, very near the
Comet, which might be mistaken for it, but this
star lies in the straight line drawn from Arcturus
TO the last star in the tail of the Great Bear, and
about one-hfth Of the distance" The appearance
of the Comet, If viewed through spy-glass, or
even an opera glass, will be greatly improved.

At the election in California there were

Labor in San Francisco was becoming

The growth OF the city is without a

tants. saying nothing of the transient popu-
lation.
Commerce with other ports is growing
more active.
Heavy boots sold at 500 per pair.
The quantity Of gold dug still continues
increasing.
The rainy season had set in, making

In San Francisco the weather was de-
