wool and its Prospects nj Home
and Abroad.
From the Detroit Free Press.


The prospect Of Wool, and Of tho coming
Wool clip, has been very rife. If we hav,
been asked once what we thought abou
Wool. we have been asked the same qics
ton more than some hundreds of times
Almost every man we meet in the streets
from the country, wants to know how
Wool looks There have been some i'm
portant sales during the present week
We know of one sale OF lot very choice
Hceces of 500 lbs from Oakland County
at 60c and another lot of the same superior
quality, Of |, 200 lbs, from Wushtcnaw, at
the same rates. Now, these lots arc old
Wool, ana, for manufacturing purposes
worth from 5(dll0c. more per III than uowly
clipped Wool Of the same quality. We arc
also in receipt of information from various
quarters, indicating that the Wool men
that is the manufacturers, are more than
usually rcticent in their issue of commits.
sions Very few parties in this State, as
vet. have received either orders or money
upon which they can venture to announce
that they will mako purchases. Most ol
the orders received in this State from the
East arc limited to SOC. rate that we con.
slider, ut the present time, ns too low.
From all advices that we can at present
have command of, Wool ought to bring, du-
ring the month of June, some where bo-
tween 50Cd Coo. and. in reality, Wool ought
to bring ut the opening of the market, for
the new Wool clip, at least Doc. Wool
growers ought not to be in II hurry to rush
their clip into market The Wool buyers
arc beginning at the lowest point. Let
them wait There are a number of clo-
mcnts at work, which will tend to affect
prices, and which prevent us at this time
from arriving at what might be esteemed
any definite and precise opinion upon the
Wool market for the coming year These
elements may he enumerated as follows:
l. The present condition of manufactures.
. The amount of old Wool on hand.
g. The supply of Cottoh aud the pros
poets OF a supply of that article.
t. The progress of the war.
D. The increased production of Wool it.

NU'eS.--Ihe condition Of the manufactures
is good Most of the stocks of goods in
the hands OF iobbcrs and commission mcr-
chants have been worked OIL and the Bos.
ton Shipping List claims that :hc stock
of cloths on hand is entirely inadequate
for even moderate consumption during
the coming season The same journal
adds further, " If then an active demand
should set in within thirty days, prices of
goods must inevitably rise and perhaps to
the high prices of January and February
and continue till Cotton has declined Ia

cIusi0n that the supply of old Wool on
hand can not possibly keep the mills run
ming longer than July. and that should large
army orders be issued for the clothing
aud fitting ont of the new levics which will
lie raised by the draft that must go into
operation by the first of July. at latest
there would inevitably be sudden and
imperious demand for the new clip, which
would have tendency to raise the price
The SHppiy of C6HoR.-It is well under
stood that If the supply of cotton should
become so great that the prcc of this sta
pie must decline below 30 cents. it would
as matter of course, affect the price OF
woolen fabrics, and necessarily cause de
cline in the price of the raw material Now
the supply of Cotton at New Orleans is III
creasing every day. The success of Gen

Again. the fall of Niclsburg and Port llud-

tain to occur within the month of June, will
open up large section of cottongrowihg
country in Mississippi and Alabama which
viii avail themselves of all opportunities to
send their crops to market, and thus de

But there is principle that is now wei

OF the war is tending to u complete success,
