Wool Trade.

The Philadelphia Saturday Ecening
Post. says:
Since June, 1856, according TO the
Circular Of Messrs. Coates & Brown, ex-
tensiye Wool dealers of this city, there
has been a moderately active business
done in Woods, and the Prices then QUO
ted, viz from 81 10 IS, according to
quality, have been fully realized for all
we'll conditioned Wcols, leaving the Mar
ket at this time quite bare of Fleece
Woods. In looking forward TO the prob
able character OF the wool business for
the coming year, there arc several feat
ures, they say, which claim very care
full consideration. The most prominent
is the Tariff. which opens to our Manu-
facturrrs an extensive assortment of
Wocls hitherto beyond their reach, and
which will mike them hereafter much
less dependent upon our native Woods
for their supplies. This fact would of
i'self soon lower the Price of Domestic
Wool were it not for the high rates per
vailing in all the Foreign Markets, and
which may protect US on this point du
ring the present season.
The second vital consideration is the
fact that Wooden Fabrics are now selling,
and with little prospect of an advance,
at prices which do not compensate the
Manufacturer, and which, if continued,
threaten TO break up many who are now
consumers of Wool: and thus by dimin
ishing the demand, dcpress the prices Of
the raw material. Again. the excessive
importations of all kinds of merchandise
and the subsequent large export ofspecie
in return therefore, together with Other
causes. may combine 10 produce a tight
ness in The Money Market. the eff ct of
which would be TO put down rates of
Wool and cramp the energies of Manu-
facturers. On This point also there is the
favorable consideration hat the old
Wool is thoroughly cleaned up, and that
the whole clip of American Wool is quite
inadequate 10 supply the running machin-
erv Of the country; and as importations
of Wool for Q considerable lime will be
quite moderate, owing 10 high prices
abroad, it may be several months or
even longer, before IheIe will be any
accumulation in the Market; and should
we have a good Fall trade, as is gener-
ally anticipated, present rates fr Wool
may be maintained throughout; the year.
They quote the prices at which Woods
now selling, as follows:

Beavers Boots.

Soh oOOSSs
The poetry below appeared in o. S
journal some years since. when our oil,
friend John F. Beaver, Esq, was Sena
tor from this district. AS it is too good
to be lost We republish it. Ii was writ
ten BY Greiuer. Of coarse. In order
that our readers may fully appreciate it,
we will rehearse the circumstances
When the Senate convened, it being vel
known that the two parties were exactly
balanced in hat branch of the Lesisla'
ture, and a Speaker was 10 be elected
great interest was felt in having every
member at his post. Mr.. Beaver was
detained by the bad roads, and found on
his arrival at Mt. Vernon, that he had
barely time to reach Columbus at the
hour when the Senate would meet
When about 19 miles from Columbus,
the lumber wagon, which was called
through courtesy, a stage, broke down.
Determined not 10 be baked, our Sena.
tor started on foot. The roads were
awful, and be, mot mach Of a dandy in
his best Iig,) was covered with mud from
top to toe, and was a perfectly unique
specimen CT a Senator when he reached
the Capital. Not having a moment to
spare, he did not stop TO brush his boots,
but stalked into the Senate Chamber,
just when the vote for Speaker was be-
ing taken, answered to his name and re-
corded his vote, just in time to prevent
the election Of a Democrat.
Under these circumstances, it is not
strange that the opposition Senators
should gaze appalled, at such an appari-
lion, and listened with fear to the sound
of his ponderous boots, as he marched
up the aisle.
Strike, strike the harp-come sweep the lyrei
kindle and blaze, Promethian fire,
Tune up your sweetest dulcet notes,
Ny PoNDERoUs theme is Beavers BOOTS.
Old Trumbuil's bull-a bull whose hide
Grew thick and tough-toOk sick and died,
His soul went with all other brutcs,
His hide went into BEAVERS BOOTS.
Millions of creeping things lie dead,
Mangled and crushed beneath his tread,
Two INSECT GMAsHEEs-Death recruits
His ranks in following Beavers BOOTS.
When first they thundered up the aisle,
Filled inside-outside, with FREE SIZE,
The Senate hushed their fierce disputes,
And SPECIFICS gazed at Beavers DooTs.
The tangled hair of Whitman rose,
And pale with fear grew Graham's nose,
Byers alarmed and backward shoots,
Aghast, amazed at REAvEA's BOOTS.
The Chase was up, the Swift grew lazy,
The Burns grew cold, the Payne grew easy,
Fen Cunningham's white head salutes
The mGH-soLED man in BEAyER's BOOTS.
That well filled vest with pride displays
The guard chain red of other days,
That unshaved, honest face denotes
A Governor stands in Beavers BOOTS.
