The Wool Market

are reported as having been made by
manufacturers agents, in Michigan, at
about 40 to i5c. Whether these are re-
ally the prices paid or not, il is difficult
to ascertain. The wool in some sections
of that State is good, although it is not
in AZ good condition usually asIn ONO
and Pennsylvania. We hear, however,
that there has been decided improve
ment in the manner of putting up wool
there the present season, ana should
Judge that fine wool bought at Az to 45c,
i'm Michigan, as a good bargain for the
buyer. Considerable quantities have
come forward the past week from Ohio,
which has been bought at 30 To 32c, and
buyers -ay that at these figures large
quantities can be obtained. Although
enough to supply the immediate wants
of manufacturers has been bought at
the West AT prices ranging rom Az to
SIC, the bulk of the new clip in that
section has by no means chang d hands,
nor have the prices paid been equal TO
the cost of imported wool. But ifgrow-
ers choose to part with their staple be-
low its value, the buyers cannot be
blamed for taking il. With the presen
prospect for brisk demand for manu-
featured goods, wool is not likely to be
lower, and it is possible that the early
seller Iaay not he so fortunate as his
neiyhbDr who waits UdtchmGR ant he

SENECA COUNTY, OHIo.-Thc increase
to soc in the price of wool this week
brings in the large lots. and makes it
lively in the wool market. This is as it
should he. We like TO see trainers get
ting IA good price for his staplr-it
pectcd soon.-Tifn Tribune.
MICHIGAN-The prices being paid for
wool are already coming nearer the
amount which farmers should receive;
but the disposition to realize without
delay. from necessity or otherwise, by
too many farmers who are already mar
kcting their wool, keeps prices down.
Wool buyers will pay no higher rates
than they find necessary to move the
clip. At some points in Michigan, We
learn as high as 4sc has been paid for
choice lots: we have not heard of any
higher ranges rs yet. 1t is very GER
tain that more tirmness on the part of
farmers would have made the average
price for good lots not less than SOC at
this time. If the growers now take
alarm, ard prccipitate the entire clip
on the market, prices will recede, in
stead of advancing to. reasonable
iigure.-Detroit Rural.
NEW IoRK-The staple comes in mod.
erately from the West, says the Econo-
mist. perhaps some would say freely but
such is not actually the case.
The general impression is that wool
has been bought low; in some instances
il has and i'll some it has not; as high
rs soc has been paid in Michigan, and
il is question which was best bought,
some which cost 40c or that af SOC; and.
strange as il may appear, we are told,
and that by persons whose veracity is
undonbted. that 75as0c have been paid
for the very choicest clips of Ohio and
Pennsylvania.
This class Of wool is very scarce, and
there is. and will he, great demand for
it, now that we have such heavy tariff,
and our manufacturers must have this
style of wool or abandon their enter
prises. The production of this class of
wool has been TO 4 great extent aban-
doacd within the past twenty years,
but the time has arrived when ii will
again be profitable; and We think that
SOME of our Michigan farmers might
engraft this upOn their stock, which is
very hardy, with success and profit; let
those who have some of the finest flocks
supply themselves with Silesian rams.
We hope, however, they will not all do
IL; the great failing of American is that
one does all must do and the result is
that the enterprise is buried beneath its
own productions. The demand for all
kinds of wool is exceedingly limited
aud will continue so till the market for
woolens improves. ID. --.'' l - = I
