cause, in the light of past experience
thew are not disposed to take any risk
in regard 10 the future. Western CO n
signers and operators, this year, arc act
| inc upon the principle of quick sales
and small profits. But though they
may escape actual loss, through the Wig
/ lance and sagicity of our commission
merchants, in many cases, wheRs they
! have bought up wool in the e11htrJ,
without prudence and regard to the
sions IF the times, or the admOnitions
of their selling agents, their profits will
be reduced To point too hne to be ap-
preciable.
The receipts, though still large, are
beginning to fall of, and rapid de-
crease in shipments may be counted on
unless wool matters here in the markets
of consumption shall speedily take a
favorable turn. There are several good
reasons why check in the country
trade may he anticipated. In the first
place. prices are now relatively higher
thoSe than they are here, land there is no
money i'm the business. In the second
place, many wool buyers have already
exhausted their own loose capital and
that of their consignees, and advances
on shipments will hereafter be made
less literally and with greater caution.

have been quite large, and foot up some
200 900 pounds, at range OF 3Oa6Ztc

CLEVELAND, OHIO.
| The Ohio Farmer thinks that the pres
ent is not the time to sell wool. Dull
as the market has been for the past
four months, prices are now at their
lowest ebb We do not, says the Farmer,
intend to encourage the idea that there
will he any immediate improvement in
! the wool market; enough wool is going
/ forward from the West to keep the mills
going for the present. Last week half
q million pounds of wool passed through
/ Cleveland on its way East. With gold
at | 40, and wool at 40a45c in Ohio, we
have the most anomalous condition
of the market ever known, especially
since the whole country produces
only two-thirds of the domestic wool
required to supply our own manufac-
! turers, and tariff which the manufac-
turers declare is a prohibition to the I'M
portation of foreign wool, and which the
importers declare is q prohibition to
/ the Importation of foreign WOODEN
/ goods. Has everybody stopped wearing
out clothes, that there isno demand for
material. Aswe do not believe that
the great equipoise of trade i'll this
article can be permanently deranged,
we say to the wool growers to keep a
sharp look out to windward, for breeze
that shall ere long fill your sail and
bear you on u prosperous voyage. VI
all times, now is the least auspicious for
becoming frightened and making a sac
riiice of staple product which does
not spoil i'll keeping.
TUSCARAwAS COUNTY, OHIO.
On Saturday last, says the 1drocatG,
Mr.. john f. Edmonds, of Oldtown Val
ley, delivered the wool clip belonging
to Mr.. John Hensel and himself, to Mr..
Gaeler in Shanesville at 504 cents per
pound-the highest price, we believe,
paid in this county the present season.
The clip averaged over four pounds to
the fleece.
The Ashland Times says the sales of
wool in that place haze considerably
increased within week past, prices
remaining about the same. There is a
good deal of unsold wool in the county,
some of the farmers holding back for
higher prices.
A Canton correspondent of the Mas
sillon Independent says about $4,000
pounds of wool have been sold at thar
point, and twice that amount, each, ut
two other places in the neighborhood
this season. Prices from 81 to 80 cents.
