The Wool Market.
CLEVELAND. June 9th,

0AA<N @S<>>'~t -
With steady run of low prices, wool
has been going of in considerable guam
titles, in the eastern cities, and dealers
are clearing the way for the new clip,
which is likely to come late into market.
The Boston Bulletin says:
SOUR wool market has been enlivened,
during the past week, by the not alto.
gether unexpected appearance of several
large buyers, who evidently meant busi-
ness, and have operated quite freely
wherever they found lots Of staple meet
ing their views as to prices and quality.
On this score they experience but little
difficulty, as most holders, at this stage
of the season, are anxious to realize, and
willing to let the market down to its low
est bearings pending the process of buy
ing up the new clip. Hence, most Of our
leading wool houses have made large
sales during the last few days, and trans
actions for the week foot up larger ag-
gregate than for long time past.
"The buyers now coming in represent
a number Of large manufacturing corpo-
rations, who are carrying out their usual
policy, toward the close Of the season, of
taking supplies Of old wool sufficient to
bridge over to the new clip. The wis
dom of this policy, at the present time,
can hardly be questioned, since the
stocks of desirable staple are sold very
close up, and the prospect Of an early
supply Of the grades most wanted is
rather dubious.
The sales of the past week comprize
several large lots Of Western fleece and
pulled, the latter at little reduction
from former prices; also one or two large
parcels of California new clip, which is
beginning to arrive quite freely, and
quick, of sale, being wanted as substi.
ftute for the medium grade of Western.
The latter is scarce, and in, demand at
rates SO relatively high that they can
scarcely be maintained after the new clip
shall come forward in quantity sufficient
to equalize the assortment. The sales of
fleece wool. .sbelow the double extra grade
have been, Utmost instances, at shade
lower prices, as holders are most anxious
to realize on this description. Fine
foreign wools are very quiet, being mostly
held above the views of buyers. The
medium grades are sold very close up,
and coarse carpet woods are in fair sup
ply and moderate demand at steady pri-
ces. .,.f.>.ks
"Sales for the week have been very
large, and foot up about 1,250,000 lbs.,
at range Of 46 to Boo for fleece, and
43 to, 53c for the grades Of pulled.

The Wheeling Register Of june 18th
says: ass
'sThere does not seem to be much
buoyancy in the Wool market. and prices
do not rule very high. There is one
feature connected with this market that
wool growers ought to consider WE'LL
Wool that is not in good order is always
docked in price. If it is dirty, having
tag-locks attached to the fleece, it will
injure the sale. We quote present prices
as follows: Common, 35a37c; medium,
3Sa40c; fine, 40a45c, according to the
