WOOL FOR THE WEEK.

WOOL FOR THE WEEK.
There Is but little to say relative to wool this
week beyond what we have already said frcm day
to day. The market has opened at the various
points along the nss OF the three great iron con-
nections, and we have seen and heard from large
number Of dealers and woolgrowsrs, have con-
versed with men from the East, asd from the
West, and endeavored to keep postsdas to wool
both at home and abroad. From the accounts on
the markets at the various places which we have
quoted below, 1t will be seen that prices have
ranged from so to 60 cents. 10 one or two IN
stances 62 cents has been paid, But the average
has been Only about 53 to SOC. From what we
sdmmed up on bill Of about 500 pounds that
had been rscsiyed from the interior, for lots bought
since Monday last, we made an average OF % l-z
cents. What we have said about buyers holding
back, and not giving out orders to make purchases,
Is borne out by intelligence from every source
Buyers will not enter the market to make pur-
chases until after the great events now pendisg
on the Potomac and the MisssFlppi are settled
one way or the other. The intelligence from
vicksburg, which Is up to tho 18th, seems to in.
dicate that next week might settle that matter.
The other il more doubtful as to time. ~ =.
With the disposition evincsd generally by the
woolgrowers themselves,as indicated BY their con.
ventions and resolutions, it is very likely that
only the wool will be sold that is obliged to be
, sent in to get money to carry on harvesting, OF
to liqudate previously made engagements. II
is likely that this will be equal to third OF thu
: clip. The larger and heavier clips will probably
, be put up and stored away till alter harvest. A
least, we do not see any other practicable course
b tha, woolgrowen can pursue, II they mean II
i keep their stock on hand, await the changes
: the market, and the effect OF Withholding larg
amount Of the clip Of the year in first hands. II
. fact there are no funds here to purchase III
n wool II it we're presented. We have ne hesitation
o in sayIne that should the woolgrowsrs pus
u their wool into market during the coming week
as they did last year, that il would be down '
45 cents before next Saturday, for, even as i II
;. there is depressing tendency IN the marke
I which is beginning to make itself felt.
During the past week we note that the sales
: the Easern markets have been quite large.
s - Boston about 100000 pounds have been sold, an
I, we note Michigan fleece quoted at " l-2 to
~ tents, according TO quality. In Philadelphia tf
- quotations are somewhat less than 100000 pound
"a varying from 6S to ~ cents. AT Providence Il
~ sales have been about 40 900 pounds at 10 to
~ " cents. At Baltimore prices are lower, rangir
'' from So to 65 cents. The sales in Detroit I
the past week have amounted, in small lots,
- about 1000 pounds, at so to So cents, the wo
he h. being mostly coarse.--Detroit Paper.
be ANN ARBoR.--Wool refuses to come forwa
= at prices offered, and but very few feeces ha
nd vet appeared in this market, not enough to en-
"a BILE US to make quotations. Sixty cents is 4
en- highest buyers are authorized to offer, and
est these figures growers will hold their feeces thin
ri ing the prices do not correspond with manuf'
J tured goods, etc. This is right. There is
re. reason why the wool clip should all be sold Ia
RS, fortnight, or month, any more than other gre
as staples.-.argus. i.l..l.
