Boston Wool Market.

The wool market is very firm at
the late Improvement; the demand
continues active, partaking to some
extent of a speculative character. ana
there are more buyers than sellers Of
desirable grades at current rates.
Ii fact, some holders, who have lately
been operating in the West and other
outside markets are not offering their
stocks except at figures which consul
mcrs are not vet willing to give
The former however, are confident
that the latter will come up to the
mark before the end Of the season.
In some cases. the advance asked
has operated 10 check the demand ;
but manufacturers are anxious to Sc
euro liberal supplies of old wool, and
hence are ready to take all that can
be picked up at reasonable figures.
But sellers rely upon the well-ascer-
tanned paucity Of stocks in all the mar
Ge;s Of the country, to sustain their
position, knowing that their customers
must have wool in considerable guam.
titles before the next clip is available.
/ The plea that goods are not selling at
remuneratiye rates has no force with
them; for they are well aware that
goods will continue to be made, and
sold at some price, as long as manu-
( lacturers can command capital to car
~ on their business.
Wool buyers in considerable force
have lately visited all parts of the
country where the article is grown tC
any extent, and have been generally
disappointed of their want of success:
in obtaining full supplies. The prin
cipal producing States of the Wes
/ long ago parted with all the wool they
had to spare from the wants of loca
consumption. In the Eastern mar
Eets, dealers have lately been buying
of each other in order to keep up as
sortmcnts, and this process Of chang
ing hands has had the natural effect 0
enhancing prices.
The stock Of fine and choice feec,
woods, most wanted for immediat,
consumption, has been reduced to
very moderate compass, and, Of course
+ the pretensiOns of holders have ad
vanccd IN an inverse ratio. The hes
lots, as we before observed, are hell
above the views of buyers, and canno
be moved until one side or the othe
is willing to come to terms. Medium
and low Heeces are selling in small
lots only, and these grades are rathe
deficient Combine and delaine wool
continue in good demand, and som
lots OF the former, from England an
Canada, have lately realized exceT
lionally high rates here. Calif9rni
Spring clip is wanted, and a little &C
vance in good-conditioned lots read
ly paid. Pulled wool continues to Sc
. freely, good Eastern supers and extra
are taken at very full rates as fast a
received. In fine foreign description
there is not much doing, with the e2
ception Of Mestiza pulled.
The sales for the week have bee
large, and loot up about $4,000
. lbs, at range of 43 55c for feec
and SO IA a SIC for the varior
grades of pulled.-Commercial Bull

four circles, within the periphery Of his
farm, one to each with dwelling house

CHESAPEAKE AND ONO RAILROAD
The firm of Fisk d Hatch, bankers and
government bond dealers, who have bro't
themselves prominently before capitalists
and the investing public here and in Eu-
rope by bringing out the Central Pacific
Railroad bonds, which are current here
and in the European markets the same as
government bonds, now offer to capitalists
and investors the first mortgage bonds of
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Com
pany. The success attending the bonds
introduced by Nessrs Fisk & Hatch has
been exceedingly satisfactory to the bond
holders. The Western Pacific bonds-the
last loan introduced by Fisk < Hatch
were all sold in about ten weeks, and the
loan was closed in January at 90. They
are now selling at "a bid, and none offer
ing at that price The Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad forms a Central Trunk line
from the Atlantic ocean, connecting direct
ly with the Pacific coast, over the Union
and Central Pacific Railroads to San Fran
/ cisco. In addition to the through traffic
with the Western States and Pacific coast,
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad runs
through rich portion of Virginia, which
abounds in coal and other products, the
transportation Of which Is exceedingly
/ profitable to railroads The directors OF
the company are shrewd, wealthy and in
fuential citizens, among whom are c. P.
Huntington, vice president Of the Pacific
Railroad, and the following well known
names: VIM. H. Aspinwall, David Stew
art, William 3. Hatch, \. \. Low, New
York, and Pliny Fisk, Philadelphia The
trustees are VIM. Butler Duncan, of Dun
can, Sherman & Co., and p. G.. Calhoun
president of the Fourth National Bank
who are an ample guarantee that the inter
ests of the bondholders will be properly
protected. The reputation Of Messrs. Fish
& Hatch, and the extreme care they have
taken in permitting their name to be useC
to market loans, together with the higl
standing and reputation Of those directly
interested in the road, entitle the bonds t.
more than ordinary attention from tn,
public, and merit their confidence TIL,
completed road is already of sufficient val
ne to form sufficient security for the who'll
proposed amount of mortgages to be sold
When completed, the property will b
worth dOuole the amount of the first mort
