Wool.
From the New York: Econor

From the New YOrk. Economist, Dee. l6.
We have had another very quiet week.
Comparatively little wool has been sold,
though there has been some inquiry, and
certain parties are lowering round. wait
ing for an opportunity to present itself
where an individual who is pressed for
money is ready TO sell at q low figure,
when they are willing to operate. Some
of these are manufacturers. Others are
willing to speculate in the finer grades,
but for these few are willing to submit to
lower terms. There appears 10 be, at the
present time, more than an ordinary
amount of maneuvering between buyers
and sellers the latter, commencing with
the farmer, have formed a determination
not TO crowd their wool upon the market.
Buyers nave been equally determined not
to crowd themselves upon the markets:
and the question is often asked, where do
the manufacturers obtain their wool 10 run
their factories? Both parties seem to be
in a similar situation to two combatants.in
the prize ring, who have exhausted every
strategy to break each others guard, at
last throw down their arms, and look
puzzled, each waiting for the other to
again raise his hand and il would ap-
pear now that buyers and sellers are wait
ing for each other-if the buyer wants to
buy ne must pay the price demanded,
and if the seller desires to sell he must
make some concessions.
The difference in the amount of WOOL
imported this year, compared with last
year, must make a great difference in the
supply, although there has been a consid-
cradle amount brought from the South
ern States this year, compared with what
we received during the years Of the war !;
up to the end of the month of November
we had received at the port of New York
80, 574, $50 TBS; last year we received at
the same port 57,729,0S3 lbs, being 90.
l64, 1903 Tbs less han last year. This must
make a great difference somewhere, eth
er in the amount of stock at the mills or
n the hands of the dealers.

Sir Morton PetO and the 4. s. c..
w. Railway.

The following is from the report of Sir
Morton Peto, which was read before a
crowded meeting OF the bond and share
holders of the Atlantic and Great West
ern Railway Company, held in London,
Nov. %:
When ] was in America with my
friends, amongs. other things | did was 10
have the satisfaction aud pleasure Of 20
ing owe the Baltimore and Ohio Railway
with the President. | should like here
to say to the pYoprietoTs of that line, That
4 sounGer investment do not believe eX-
ists in the world, or a better managed
one, and hat Mr.. CARAT IS without eX-
ception, Il of the most talented men
have met with. Mr.. Garratt agreed with
me Immediately to complete this link
wanting there (pointinc on the map to a
portion of the tract on the Baltimore ana
Ohio line in the Allegheny mountains
and on the MahOning and Cleveland Rail
way down to Pittsburgh. should say 10
YOU that that line is under lease TO the
Atlantic and Great Western Railway, and
that the first year it was opened, taking
the interest account at q per cent, 1t
earned in net receipts Gl2,0UO over the
amount Of the REM and the renewals l
had therefore no hesitation in entering
into an arrangement with the Nahoning
and Cleveland Railway 10 extend that
length from there TO Pittshurg at the
same rate of lease per mile as they had
constructed it to Cleveland. When | tell
you ii opens Washington, Baltimore,
Philadelphia and the whole of the east
ern coast, and puts them into direct ac-
cess with your railways, and gives the
nearest route between them and Cleve-
land, ard the great center of Lake com
.merce and capital, you viii believe that
that arrangement, without giving the
slightest possible risk to yourselves, is
one that | ought not for a mo2lent 10
have hesitated to enter into. Cheers
From this it will be seen that the eXten
sion Of the Mahoning road TO Pittshurg
IS not only contemplated, but the pre-,
liminary steps have already been taken
by the English capitalists 10 secure the
completion of The route; and from the
energy of the company which they rep
resent, we doubt not the wOrN viii be
undertaken at no distant day"

The Congressional proceedings publish

Oar South American neighbors are
fond of domestic rows. In Peru, the re-

forty ports still open.

ALLEGHENY LIVESTOCK MARKET.

ALLEGHENY CITY, Dec. q, 1865.
The market during the week was we'll
supplied with cattle. Prices were weak.
There was a difference between the views
of dealers hence, at the close of the
market q number of lots were left unsold.
The sales exhibited quite a falling off as
compared with last weeks transactions.
The highest figure reached this week was
81. The lowest 81 %. 4 number of lots
were driven East IN the hopes of doing
better.
HoGs-There was nothing done in hogs
worthy of special notice. The rates de-
manded were considerably above the
views OF buyers hence sales were few
and far between. City packers have set
their figures, and unless sellers come to
their terms, or effect a compromise, they
viii refrain from purchasing this season,
and We will have to 60 elsewhere fer our
bacon.
SHEEP-Dull. Prices, altogether, NOM
inal, buyers seem TO have absented them
selves, The offerings were very light.

New Railroad Route 10 the Ma
fiOnaI Capitol.

BY means OF the Atlantic and Great
Western r. R. Warren and a large por-
ton of Trumbull County, are brought in
direct railroad connection with New
York, Cincinnati and Cleveland, and by
the energy and enterprise of the same
great railway company and the Baltimore
& Ohio R. R Co, we have a ftteriug pros
pect of soon having a direct line OF road
to Pittsburg, Baltimore and Washington
City. The extension of the Mahoning
R. R. to Pittsburg has been determined
upon, and will no doubt be pushed
through energetically.
At the annual meeting of the Directors
of the Baltimore and Ohio R. R. held re-
Gently, the President of the road, 7. W.
Garrett, Esq, delivered an address, in
which he assumed that the capital had
become finally fixed at Washington, and
this made it most important that the
most direct route should be opened to it
from the West. That portion of the road
from Baltimore furnishes the most direct
route for the North and East. To short
en- the line for the West, a line has al
ready been marked out FROM Point Of
Rocks to Washington, thus reducing the
distance forty-six miles fIom this point to
the Capitol.
The difficulties thrown in the way of
the extension of the Pittsburg & Connells-
vile Road to Cumberland lave been over
come, and the Baltimore & Ohio Co. are
prepared to complete that short line to
Pittsburg which will a seventy-two
miles between Washington and Pittsburg.
The company have The promise of Sir
Morton Peto that capital will be prompt
ly furnished in connection with the At
lantic & Great Western Road to complete
the road from Cleveland via. Youngstown
to Pittsburg, and thus shorten the dis
tance from that region of the lakes to
Washington, so as to make it eighty-four
miles less than by any existing line.
In regard to the equipment and bust
ness of the road, and its requirements,
Mr.. Garrett made the following state
ments:
The Baltimore and Ohio Company has
increased its equipment to about three
hundred locomotives and -four thousand
cars. Its capacity for business is now be-
You'd the ability of lines working in con-
nection with it TO dispose of the vast
quantities OF freight it brings to our city.
At this time more than seventy-fve
trains daily, of passengers and freight,
pass over the main stem of the Baltimore
and Ohio Road, upon the Baltimore di-
vision. The power of the Company, by
lis additions of double track and increase
of facilities and equipment, with its ad-
ditional branches, will be constantly en-
larged.
