WOOL.


1t Is now near the close Of June, period when
great activity usually prevails In the wool market
yet, comparatively Speaking, almost literally
nothing is being DONE This inactivity Is owing
to tic marked difference between tho views OF
buyers and sellers. Some little Is being done in
the interior, but It is only With the mcans Of local
buyeIs Nho see IN the present condition Of things
rally presents temptation to fnyest-i .. d soem-
ingly deceded preponderaace Of chances in faTor
of the buyer.
The agents Of Eastern houses hare fixed their
mark ut 61c az the outside figure, and stubbcrn1y
refuse to advance from that yoint. We learn that
not only the growers Of Michigan, but those Of
Ohio, New Iotk, Pennsylvaa!a and Vermont, are
quite firm IN adhering to prices which preclude
the Possibility Of extensive operations at present.
and If they continue thus firm, 1t is Obvious that
Mahomct will have to 60 to tho mountain, and the
growers will get their price.
We pernsed today 4 letter from a gentleman,
long identified with the wool trade, who last year
purchased 90 O. 900 ms, and whose name is only Q
synonym for canaor and probityI, Of the "salt

New York Exchange has been decidedly close at
quotations. and though the nominal rates are IN
changed, viz: Par buying, and = scling-a frac-

are mainly corn. and that does not make exchange
as fast as wheat, pork and some other products.
Parties placing funds in New York to meet interest
and other payments On the first and fourth OF the
coming month, may hare something to do with
the demand, though it is too soon to expect
much from that source, unless rise is expected.

DEs71TuT1oS.-last Saturday night, at e1ev.
en- o'clock, one Of the officers of the Mayors
staff found lying npon the grass on the shore
Of the basin on Michigan Avenue, an Intelli-
gent looking woman, meanly dressed
and almost furnished. The officer ask
ed her name and business, which she
refused to give. She said she came
there to die and intended to leap into the
Lake and end her troubles there in the dark
waters. After considerable persuasion, she
Was induced to 60 with him. He kindly took
her to store and purchased necessary arti-
cles of clothing and food, and then piloted
her to the Armory, where shc was properly
cared for, and where she remained until Mon
loy. She says her name lis Elizabeth Banks,
and that her friends reside in Ceut1alia Illinois.
