| The past week has developed no new fea-
ture inIthe Ohio wool MARKET. We hear of
but little in that time changing hands, but
| what little has been sold, ranged according
to quality, from GO to zoe. Just now the
buyers are mainly waiting for "develop-
ments"Tthe, upward tendency, which was
| exhibited during the first weeks Of the
| month";, needing, in. their opinion; someL
thing in the shape of a counter-irritatiOn
But the growers now holding, feel that they
can also walt for further developments.
| A correspondent in Allegheny county,
Pennsylvania, writes to the Ohio Farmer as
follows, of the market in Western Penn
sylyania "OuE wool manufacturers and
wool buy ers appear to have at length discov-
cred the fact that there is a decidedly short
supplyiof cotton in the United States and
in Europe, and that wool is not Otsuperabund-
ant in Europe or the United States; that the
best and cheapest wool to be had is tn at
grown at home; and that all kinds and de-
scriptions of wOolen goods are now BRING
ing very high prices, with the tendency of
| the market decidedly onward and upward,
and that the supply is not near equal to the
demand! Hence, wool" buyers and manu-
facturersG who lately said they must
purchase, are returning to Washing

/ The Shipping List says of the Boston mar

| continues to be pretty we'll supplied with
new elip,if we except Ohio, Pennsylvania
| and Virginia woods, of, which very little
has as yet found its way in this direction.
There is ia very buOyant and firm tone to the
| market, and in some instances rather better
| prices have been realized, but generally
| speaking the current rates have not varied
| materially. The demand from manufac-
| tufers continues good, and all available lots
at the current prices find a ready sale. The
transactions ofthe week comprise 575, 000lb
! fleece and pulled at prices ranging from 81
| to 75c per ID, as to quality. Included in the
sales wereabout 125, 5,000lbs New York State
and mixed Western at 65c; 10000 lbs New

handsome Michigan at zoe; $4,000 lbs Mich
| igan and New Hampshire at Zoe; 10000 lbs
new clip Ohio at 75c; 5000 lbs unwashed
| Western at 45c; 10000 lbs do. at 40c; and a
| variety of small Sales in the range noted

choice grades OF both fleece and pulled. We

for goods are very promising; In foreign

change in the country from war to peace
causes the demand to run upon fine staple
in a larger proportion than for the last four
years; and as this grade of wool is unpre-
cedentedly scarce In all the markets of the
fcountry, buyers are bidding against each
