AS an authentic statement of the pros.

controls our own will be Of interest to the
Wool growers of Ashland county, we copy
below the monthly report:
Liverpool Monthly Wool R port.
There has been a continuous and active
home demand for all descriptions of Wool
during the past month, and, owing 10 the
lightness of stocks, even the less current
kinds have enjoyed more favor. In all
cases higher prices may be quoted, but
this is more particularly the case in Eng.
liSh Combing Woods, which, from the
brisk demand, have advanced considera.

The great difficulty the trade have at
present 10 contend with, is the want of
stocks, and never at any former period do
we remember them reduced to so low a
point. Ii is now quite evident thai, a, our
approaching English clip, there will be
considerable excitement, Tor, in addition to
the urgent demand of the trade, large trans.
actions usually take place at that period
partly without reference 10 prices, buyers
being accustomed to secure cef,ain Gins
which they have bought for years, rather
than let them pass into other hands; so
that, if they lose at one time, they have a
prospect that it may be in their favor the
next: there seems, therefore, no reason to
expect, notwithstanding the increased sup.
plies which will then be available, that
Wool will be bought on more favorable
'crmsi but, on the contrary. more frmness
will be given to prices.
There is little change to notice in the
value of fine Colonial woods, and much
uncertainty still prevails as regards future
supplies. The accounts just received
seem more favorable as 10 the probable re
ceipts, although it is generally admitted
they will be subject to greatly enhanced
cost and that a large portion will come
forward in the grease but this will, in all
probability be more appa,ent in The later
arrivals coming from less favorable si,ua.

not be bestowed on The locks. Prices in
the meantime may be considered to some
extent almost nuAinal. Arrivals are com

e%aslerly winds.
1t is uncertain when the next public
sales will take place in London, but most
likely toward the latter end of May. The
trade on the continent, which for some time
past has been very depressed, has impro.

was cleared off at satisfactory prices. Du,

the result was not attended with profit. and
