with wool and woolens, and other dry
goods; 1t is well understood that under |
the existing state of things, wool and |
all other kinds of goods are very low in
deed, and yet nobody is anxious to buy:
grain, corn and butter, and beef are
very high. everybody says they will and !
must come down; but spectators in |
these things are not deferred, but keep

creased and manufacturers have been
benefited, the reverse has been the con-
sequence. Trade is bad and unremuner-
alive, and manufacturers talk of stop
ping their mills, so that however much
we may desire reduction in price of all
kinds of goods, yet the very process Of
reduction renders trade id q great mea-
sure stagnant.
The better grades of wool will move
more freely in a short time; the mills
are now making preparations for spring
goods, and In a few Yeeks dufte atnqnhs

We hear of no factories that are run

at present fully employed; and as there
were not large amount offspring styles

everything that looks like combiug, are
getting scarce. This has been sought
after to q very great extent and Canada
combing has been neglected, which is at
the present scarce in the States, but as
the demand is light prices rule low. 4
Pulled woods are far from active at
present, and it is anticipated that of
this class of wool there will be a very
large supply; in the spring many are ex-
pecting that on account of the low price
of wool there will be great mortality
among sheep during the winter; this
heretofore has been the rule, that when
wool fell in price. farmers Abandoned
sheep husbRndry and there'never were
so many reasons as at present for their
doing so now. The price OF every other
agricultural product is very high; wool
is very low; at other times when they
have neglected wool raising, other kinds
of produce have been comparatively
low. Many times the farmer has pre-
ferred corn at 25c per bushel to wool at
25c per Id, ana they would be very like
ly to prefer corn at % a bushel touyool
at 400. eHss a@t 81
