WOOL TRADE.

/ OF the anxiety OF buyers 10 get hold
o. what remains in first hands of
the Ohio clip; andwc hear Of North
crn Ohio dealers visiting as far
south rs the Miami country, anx.
ious to buy at 75 cents for any
thing that has been clipped from a
sleeps back but if necessary to
secure passable wool, not refusing
to pay some cents above this.
Throughout Ohio there is very
little wool to press upon the mar
kct, the most of the growers who
have not sold being willing to "wait
a little longer" Anywhere now
among growers who are posted,
from 7s TO SO cents is received for
the better grades. In the Eastern
markets, the tendency is still up
wards, and manufacturers take all
mat they can secure.
/ The Economist of Saturday gives
the value of fleece in New York
last week ut from 20 to sec,
though these figures are below the
rates at which purchases were
made, if there is any truth in pri-
vatc advices. Olihe state of the
market, that journal remarks -
"Thc mm ket during the week has
been more quiet than the last, in
consequence ofbuyers awaiting the
result of the large auction sale held
on Thursday, full report of which
we give below, and which has
taken up so much Of the space
which We usually devote to our
wool report, that our remarks are
necessarily limited. The sale was
largely attended by manufacturers
aud others, aud has given much
more cheerful and tirmcr tone to
the market. Holders arc gcncr-
ally asking prices above the views
of buyers, which limits transac'
tions. Tho fact that WOODEN goods
are in great demand gives manu-.
iacturers confidence in making
purchases ut the recent advance.
The consumption of Shifting Elan
ncls has increased immensely
within the past year, and the pros
pcct is that wooden shirts will
hereafter become u regular staple
in the market. IL is to be hoped
that tho manufacturers will pro-
ducc n greater proportion of those
goods with woven colors than they
have done the present season.
There is no reason why any Shirt
ing Flannels should DO imported.
We ought to bo able to produce
| qualities and styles fully oXual to
the French, and could do SO at less
prices il proper attention was Civ
en- to the matter"
