The Wool markef-

1t IS amusing to witness, from this
stand point, the dexterity and wordiness
with which the eastern organs Of the wool
manufacturers endeaVor to account for the
present dullness of the market. We have
a repetition every week of the solemn sto-
ry that there is a heap of wooden goods in
storein eastern cloth houses and manufac-
tories, for which there are no customers,
and that, n1l these goods are sold, the
manufacturers will not indulge in the pur-
chase OF our wool They say, moreover,
that the cloth makers are changing over
from spring to fall goods, and are anx-
lousy waiting TO see how the crops turn
out In the west, before they can determ-
Inc how much if any of the fall goods Z,
make.
We have got this relation of affairs
pretty well by heart, and could repeat it
backward and forward, if need be, ard il
would lead rs out the same hole we went
in at, every time. Well, they must saw
something, and this talk is as harmless a.
anything they could say. Every week.
also, they venture upon a discussion oftbe
tariff question, and every time thew do so.
they repeat, that protection to American
production has f1iled to help the price of
domestic wool.

eular for May says:-As is usual at this
season Of the year, attention Is naturally
attracted as to the probable prices of the
Rew clip, and, considering the depressed
condition OF the general business of the
country, 1t would seem to De running =
great risk to sutieipate higher prices while
manufacturers are converting wool into

It 1t IS possible, however, that as the
season advances, the benefits Of the tariff
on wooden goods may begin to be felt in
the exclusion Of the heavy imports which
have heretofore flooded the market. and
that the trsde may steadily assume a
seunder and more profitable position: in
which ease wool will retain its relative
value to manufactured goods. Bearing
IN mind the experiences of the lasstvo sea-
sons, buyers in the west should be careful
rot only to lay in their stoeks at moder-
ate prices, but to discrininste largely
