Wool ProSDects,

exchanges on the subject Of wool:
| A correspondent q the Salem (0) RepubIi-
ean says;-"John NJ. Holmes, Of Connotton,
Harrison county, Ohio, sheared during the last
week in May, from a flock Of thirty imported
sheep, S47 pounds of wool, being an average Of
llJs pounds. Six French Ewes, having Lambs
turned out II pounds each. Four bucks had
Is pounds OfwOol each, of one years growth,
and last, but not least, one gave Sc pounds of
double fleece, or two years growth.
II have not much knowledge Of the amount
ofwoOl sheep can be made to yield, but it seems
to me the above is very large. Should any Of
our enterprising wool growers in this vicinity
have larger yield should be pleased to hear
from them. j. g." p
The last Tiffn Advertiser says:-."Ihere is
not much stir in the Wool market yet We
have noticed but lew loads in town, and we learn
that the betterelass OF wool has not yet been
put into market Blanket lots have been sold
at from % to 40 cents The best wool will
probably command 80 cents" e
The Wellsburs Herald of week before last re
marks;-"The time for sheep shearing is now
near at hand, but never during our recollection
was there so little stir about the purchase Of
wool. Generally about this season the notes Of
preparation were beginning to be heard, and the
agents for eastern establishments might be seen
at the country hotels and villages, cheapening
the price of the article, and making arrange
ments for trade; but this spring everything is
quiet in this respect as though there was not to
be pound ofwool sold in the West, or wheel
turned in the East this summer"
0~rThe last coshocton Democrat says
Should the weather prove favorable this week
and next, the clip Of Coshocton County will be ta-
ken from the flock, as many Of the sheep are
now washed. We have not been able to ascer-
tain the rates the market in this region will
open at, but give the following. items:
The Cleveland Wool Grower says that cold
and unusually wet weather has prevailed du-
ring the last month, with every indication that
sheep shearing will be later than usual. A
large crops ofwool buyers have made their ap-
pearance in. this city, preparatory to circula-
ting over their respective grounds. @
Among them we notice some new men, but
generally those who had canyassed the country
for years past. ...
When we take into consideration the unfor.
tunate times through which wool dealers and
manufacturers have passed, we are confident
woods will rule high though we do not believe
parties will buy at last years prices. We have
reason to believe that next August prices will
approximate very near to early prices of last
year, and instead ofbeng discouraged at future
prospects, we think wool growers should be very
much encouraged. The increase consumption,
and decreased in the growth Of wool for the
last few years, must cause strong desire opro.
cure woods, provided growers are prepared 60
trade in low figures, in which case woods move
rapidly.
Wool Shipped from sIeveland.
The amount Of wool shipped from this city
during the last year was 4,000,651 lbs. which
cost over 81 100000. h
BALTIMoRE.-Wool is still quiet. The new
clip is beginning to arEivc, but the receipts Of il
have as yet been light-New unwashed Wool
is selling at 17& l8c, o ID. We quote wool as
before, viz: 1929 for unwashed; 25@5fc, for
No. pulled; 23@27c. for pulled merino; 23@

BosToN.-The market for fleece wool remains
unchanged, with steady demand for lots as
wanted by manufacturers at quoted rates. Pull
ed wool continues in request, and as the demand
for some weeks past has been equal to the sup
ply, there is as frmer feeling, although no
change in prices to notice. The sales have been
100000 lbs. fleece and pulled at our quoted
rates. In foreign wool there has been good
business doing; the transaction Of the week COM
prising some considerable lots of Cape and other
kinds. We notice sales Of 100 bales Cape and

The last number of the Cincinnati Weekly
Enquirer says:--"WO0L--The feeling in the
market continues about the same as heretofore
noticed. Dealers act with great deal of in
difference, and seem inclined to wait until the
article is brought to market, instead of visiting
the various points to purchase. The impress
sion seems to be that prices Of washed viii rule
from 20 to rs per Id. The stocks in the hands
ofmanuhcturers is large, and the Woolen trade
so generally depressed that there is no induce
ment to operate, except at prices which must
be considered safe under all contingencies,
Wool. @
Within the past month considerable wool has
changed hands in Boston as well as here and
in Philadelphia directly and indirectly; but
the principal transactions have been in Boston,
and confined chiefly to the low and medium
grades mostly ofFore,gn Woods. Prices show
no essential change from those current during
the past two months except Native Pulled,
which is scarce and held at high prices. But
Native Fleeces and foreign descriptions favor
the buyer; and halfthe money invested in the
business last year in this country and in Europe
has been sunk. Every manufacturer in this
country has been broken down, and the voice
