Wool AND HIDsS--The trade in these two
leading articles of California exports has been
considerably improved by the war, The S. F.
Herald says;
At the commencement of hostilitieS, both
were exceedingly depressed, alike in our own
markets and at the East. Certain operators
in wool bad bought largely at prices which, a,
the time, were deemed so liberal as to be likely
TO entail serious loss but as good or i'll fortune
would have it. their shipments had not yet
reached market before the demand alluded TO
suddenly sprang up. and it was soon evident
that these somewhat aphszard enterprises
would be amply rewarded. As late as August,
it was difficult 10 sell dry hides in this market
at over eight cents per pound, while now they
are worth fourteen cents Wool, also has ad-
vanced about fifty per cent.
