AS peneral thing. there can be no per.

As a general thing, there can be no per-
manent advance on our last years prices.
In some localities where wool was sold
early, better prices should be realized. but
generally, when the wool was sold late,
full prices were realized. There is no
wool, however coarse it may be, if in
good order, that will not be worth at least
98c.-and ranging from that to 80 cts.-
The great range will be from 30 10 4Oc.
Fine woods from No. /, TO prime and ex.
ira, will bring from 40 to 55cts-and super
may be sold as high as 6oa65c. As re-
marked in our last number, wool tina. can
be bought from 80 to 4Oc. will be pushed
up rapidly.
Manufacturers are not, as general
thing. making money. They may save
themselves, and that is about all. Medi-
um cloths can be bought now at prices
that will barely pay for the wool. But for
the great abundance of money, many
would be compelled 10 stop; as il is, they
lnger along, hoping for some favorable
turn that may bring them out.
Under such circumstances the farmers
can form their own opinions as to the fu-
ture prospects of the market. Our advice
is to sell if satisfactory prices can be OBJ
tained-but not to sacrifice your wool.
The prices current in the cities are no cri.
terion for the farmers. For no one can
send wool there and get what the quota
tions show are paid for that grade of wool.
We never pay any attention 10 them, and
because Of their deceptiveness we rarely
quote them-when we do tits more to show
the nominal prices in the general markets.
We have seen the same price quoted for a
whole year. when TO our knowledge, it has
been above and below at least 1Octs. dur
ing the time. The utmost exertions are
making to bring in large amount of for
eign wool. The market being higher here
than in any other country, it follows that
the wool must come here in large quanti-
ties. Farmers should therefore make up
their minds that they must compete more
or less with the cheap woods of South
America.-Wool Grower for May.

REVIEW OF THE WOOL MARKET
FOR APRIL, 1851.

From present indications there has been
quite trick played by certain dealers or
manufacturers in regard to wool. Certain
parties in or about Boston bought largely
last spring of western wool. They were,
however, enabled to procure, unexpected
ly, supply of South American wool at a
much better price, and have kept their ma
tive wool out of the market and out of the
way until quite recently. 1t has now be-
gan to come upon market. 1t is surmised
by some that the high prices said to be
paid in Ohio for the coming clip can be
traced 10 these operations. A small guam
tity has been bought by their agents at
high prices. Contracts have been made
for more at very high prices, by men who
will never appear to claim the wool or pay
for il. Local dealers and merchants have
been stimulated to purchase at high prices.
The result has been to create the impres.
sion that all the wool had been bought up
at high prices, and hence this wool now
offered was very cheap, and afforded the
only chance to manufacturers 10 get stock
at any reasonable rate. How many have
been Caught at each end of the line re-
mains to be seen. We have not changed
our mind, that somebody must loose money
this year on wool. Adyices from Germa-
ny show the prospects Of wool very fair.
Old stocks Of coarse and medium gone,
and only small amount Of very fine lett
over. The mills Of France, Germany,
and England, are all working for this mar
ket. and our importations must continue
so large that there is no possibility for fab
Sio to advance.

2. IF subscribers order the discontnuance Of
their periodicals, the publisher may continue to
send them until all arrearages are paid.

periodicals from the offices to which they are d
rected, they are held responsible till they have
settled the bill, and ordered them discontinued.
a. If subscribers remove to other places without
informing the publishers, and the papers are sent

periodicals from the Office, or removing and leav-
ing them uncaed for, is prima facie evidence of
intentional fraud.

HE MAELsTRoM.--The Maelstrom is a

depth of water is between thirty-six and forty

of its impetnous ebb towards the sea is hardly

powerful as to absorb every ship that comes
within its attractions. : 1t is then beaten to
pieces against the bottom, and when the water
is smooth, the fragments are thrown up again.
But these intervals Of tranquility happen only
at the turn Of the ebb and flow, and last but
a quarter of an hour. Whales frequently han.
pen come too near the stream, and are over
powered by its violence. tits then impossible
