The Wool MARKET.-The price of wool.
We see it stated, is likely to rule lower
this year than last. In the Eastern mar
kets, the rates are from ten TO twelve
cents per h., below those Of last year,
while in England. owing TO the reduction
in tie price Of wooden fabrics, and the in
creasing use of cotton with wool, the
price OF the latter has declined twenty
per cent below last years figures. Tie

of the market at the West. says:
At this time in 1858, very large
amount of the wooI-clip was Engaged on

bought it up in advance thi~ year, but
little Of this, if any. has been done. The
whole clip will therefore come upon the
market. Last year, the supply of the
previous season was exhausted, and man
ufacturcrs were eager buyers from the
start; this year there is Il considerable
stock over-enough to last manufacturers
until the new clip seeks purchasers. The
present clip is much larger than any that
has proceeded it, the high price prevail
ing last year having induced farmers TO
save all they could. All these facts tend
to depression Of the prices.

AMERICANS IN THE TURKISH ARMY.-An
enthusiast, vo unteer. who left New York
to join the Turkish army writes home
from Karas, in Asia Minor, (his let
ter being published in the New
York Courier, that the Turkish army is
doomed to destruction. and that every
thing he sees proves that they deserve to
be destroyed. Allowing something for
disappointment. and his representation OF
the miserable character is probably cor
rect enough. Though not lacking in
courage, they are sadly wanting in dis
cipline. and the officers deficient in mill
tary science. The Notifications Of the
town. he says are Of the most paltry de-
scription. The troops number 5000, are
badly clad, badly officered, and not paid
at all. About 500 men are sick in the
hospitals with the scarlet fever, and from
sixteen to twenty die daily. The writer,
is one Of the three or four Americans
who volunteered last winter in the Turk
ish war.
