concessions which are scarcely warrant,
ed by the commercial prospects and
probable cost of wool in the future.
Those who are not entirely bare of
supplies are inclined to await develop
ments in regard to the new clip and the
final disposition of the tariff question
By Congress. Nevertheless, the trans
actions in foreign have been consider
able, including one or two large lots,
aud foot up larger than for several
weeks past.
This is probably owing to the fact
that holders have been disposed to
meet the views Of buyers quite freely,
and that offers from the latter have
been accepted. that would not have
been entertained week or two ago:
They are aware that if the tariff bill
should pas in its present shape, the
stocks of fine foreign wool now here
might be duplicated at somewhat
lower cost, especially those colonial
woods which at this stage Of the season
reach us by way of the English mar
kets.
The general reduction OF ten per
cent with the proposed repeal Of the
ditferential duties on indirect shipments
from Australia, New Zealand, Iudis
and other points east OF the Cape OF
Good Hope, would give American
buyers in London an advantage OF
some four or FIVE cents gold per pound
in the cost OF these woods laid down
here as compared with the present
basis. This would probably lead to
additional imports; and with liberal
supply of these choice fo-egu wOois
offering at moderate prices, for mana-
tacturers to fall back upon, it would be
impossible to restore the late extreme
range for domestic during the season
which is before US.
But as the tariff now stands, the
prices OF foreign woods may be con-
sidered as having at length touched
the hard bottom. The early arrivals
