Great Rise in Wool and Wooden
Fabrics.
Cor of Gin. Commercial.

COF, Ol Cln' commercial
New YORK, July Z.
An uncommon excitement prevails, al
present, In tho usually quiet circle Of deal.
ers in wool and goods made of wool.
The cause is the sudden rise In the price
Of the staple, which commenced some
six or eight weeks ago, and appears not
as yet, 10 have reached It's full limit.
Common Mexican, which used TO sell
from eighteen to twenty cents q pound, Is
selling ut from thirty To thirty.two cents.
Carpet woods, usually quoted At thirty
cents, gold, are held at thirty-seyen and q
hall cents. Cape woods have gone up
from thirty.nve to forty cents. American
wool from iorty-twO to fii(y.two cents,
and what are called extra heeCes, which
are q standard In the wool market like
middllng In the cotton market, are quot.
ed at from 01@G4C, as against 47@50c six
weeks since. Even shearings, which are
the short wool which grows on sheep
between the time Of their shearing in the
spring and their slaughtering In the
fall, and Are used for making hats, sell Of
Acc per pound, instead Of 25C, the old
price.
The various wooden manufactures al
home responded, Of course, to this rise In
the raw material. Carpet yarns have nd.
vanCel from 37tC per pound IN Coo per
pound.
Two and three.ply carpets are 1871 per
cent dearer than they were, and Brussels
which recently fetched 81 90 arc held al
50 10 All kinds Of wooden cloth and
clothing material have advanced on an
average 10 per cent with an upward ten.
dency, The utmost activity Is manifested
In the trade. The manufacturers have
orders ahead for everything they can
make for several months TO come, and as
Is usual the fears Of the retail dealers of
higher prices still 10 come, lead them 10
rush in and supply themselves at present
rates. I'd 4.
The reasons for the advance are said 10
be the smallness Of the clip this year and
last year, the large demand and consump.
ton In Europe during the war, and the
fact that nearly all the mills have been
enabled 10 run this year, the supply Of
water being ample. Mr.. A. T. Stewart
has the credit, with many illinformed
people, of having engineered a great cor.
ner In the market, and Of having already
made u profltof one million dollars on
his operations. Inquiry among members
Of the trade has failed 10 discover any
grounds for this belief Mr.. Stewart has
been obliged, during the past two or three
years, TO take possession Of carpet fac.
tory and several wooden factories on
which he had mortgages, and has since
been running them on his own account.
Hence he Is 0 large buyer of wool and
-apprehensive Of higher prices by-and.by,
and has laid In an ample stock Tor future
use But ! heard men who knew of his
operations say that he has bought reck.
lessly and extravagantly, and Is more
likely TO lose than to make money on his
purchases

Remarkable Provision.

A singular circumstance is related in
connection with the sad catastrophe of
the three little boys who were caught
by the caving of an earth bank upon
them, in this city, the particulars of
which accident are given elsewhere. An
elderly brother of little Lesha Rasche, a
bright boy of about ten years, died
about year ago. He was very dearly
loved by the household, and though
the affliction was less sudden and sharp
than the present, as he died of disease i'm
the presence of the family circle, their
grief was poignant and abiding. 1t is
related OF him, that just before passing
away he told them that his little brother
would soon follow, that he would be
buried in the sand, and it is said that
his death-bed declaration has been the
source of constant uneasiness and ankle.
ty to his mother ever since. The sad
verification of the premonition by the
sudden and tragical death of the
younger, as foretold, falls with crushing
force, and her agonizing grief as she
bore homeward the lifeless body of her
darling child was such as to bring SYM
pathizing tears to the eyes of the stout.
