WOOL FOR THE WEEK.
There is but little to say relative to wool this
week beyond what we have already said fro day
TO dag. The market has opened at the various
points along the lines of the three great iron con-
nections, and we have seen and heard from large
number of dealers and woolgrowers have con.
versed with men from the East, and 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, it will be seen that prices have
ranged from 80 to SO cents. In one or two in-
stances so cents has been paid. But the average
has been only about SO to SOC. From what we
summed up on bill of about l 500 pounds that
had been received from the interior, for lots bought
since Monday last we made an average of 50 IL
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 pending
on the Potomac and the Mississippi are settled
one way or the other. The intelligence from
'i@h'OuiS5 "ulSA 10 up W tuc 11tut SCCLiS w Ills
dictate that next week might settle that matter.
The other is more doubtful as to time.
With the disposition eyinced 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, or
to hquidate previously made engagements. 1t
Is likely that this will be equal to third of the
clip. The larger and heavier clips will probably
be put up and stored away till after harvest. At
least, we do not see any other practicable course
that woolgrowers can pursue, if they mean to
keep their stock on hand, await the changes of
the market, and the effect of Withholding large
amount OF the clip of the year in first hands. In
fact, there are no funds here to purchase the
wool If it were presented. We have no hesitation
III saying that, should the woolgrowers push
their wool into market during the coming week,
a. they did last year, that it would be down to
46 cents before next Saturday. for, even as it is,
there is depressing tendency in the market,
which is beginning to make itself felt.
During the past week we note that the sales in
the Easern markets have been quite large. In
Boston about 100000 pounds have been sold, and
We note Michigan fleece quoted at 60 IL to 10
cents, according to quality. In Philadelphia the
quotations are somewhat less than 100000 pounds,
mIying from 6S to " cents. At Providence the
saies have been about 20 900 pounds, at 10 to Is
cents. At Baltimore prices are lower, ranging
4 from So to IS cents The sales in Detroit for
The past week have amounted, in small lots, to
about 1000 pounds, at so to SO cents, the wool
r. being mostly coarse.--Detoh Paper.
ANY ARBoR.-Wool refuses to come forward
at prices offered, and but very few feeces have
yet appeared in this market, not enough to ena-
be us to make quotations. Sixty cents is the
highest buyers authorized to offer, and at
these figures growers will hold their feeoes, think
ING the prices do not correspond with manufac-
,ured goods, etc. This is right. There is no
reason why the wool clip should all be sold in a
fortnight, or month, any more than other great
ssaples.-.4rgus. -. o -

very lowy--the amount coming in being meagre
indeed, it can scarcely be said to have opened.
The discrepancy in the price between the buyer
and the seller is such as to render it probable that
little will be offered for sale at present A few
bots have been brought in on Thursday of last
week. NJ. Collier purchased a lot at Sc CENTS
