THE Wool TRADE.-We are indebted to the
T Y. Commercial Bulletin for the following extra
concerning the wool trade:
J, The trade in foreign wool has been light for q
past six months. The quantity imported was
+ trifle larger than during the corresponding time
1867 but the value is less This is accounted Il

form of the quantity brought here, and PARTIAL
t by the decrease in value in the countries wheI
the wool is grown. Our market has been we
4 supplied with domestic woods, including tho.
brought from California and Texas, which ha'

i grades foreign wool to nearly stop their use. F.
