Wool Markets,

As there seems to be a general feeling
among the wool men that there is to be
a greater demand for wool the coming
season, and in consequence an advance,
we quote the following from the Wool
Circular tor February OF Walter Brown
Il Sona, giving the prices in New York:
During the month OF January the
wool market was quite active, and was
characterized by heavy transactions,
prices meanwhile advancing until they
have attained a height which vas not
expected, by the most sanguine, to be
reached at so early day. The stock
of domestic fleece has been brought
down to merely nominal quantity,
and a famine OF some grades seem
inevitable. Buyers have taken hold
with freedom almost approximatlng
to war times, the result of which has
been to clean the market Of certain
descriptions of heeces, and has created
such heavy demand for pulled woods
that these woods are also in very small
supply and difficult to obtain. All classes
of foreign woods have entered largely
into the transactions Of the month,
and have also advanced, but not
in the same proportion with domes-
tics; holders, however, are confident
of realizing higher prices, but are not
disposed to part with their woods except
at full rates.
Advices from Europe are of the most
positive character as to scarcity and
higher prices, particularly in combing
and all low grade woods, the supply OF
which is said to be totally inadequate to
the demand.
From the Cape and Australia the
reports are confrmatory OF the en-
HANGED cost OF new woods, and the
opinion is that at the opening of the
! February series OF public sales in
England an advance OF about two pence
, will be obtained on Australian and
Cape woods. In view of the great
scarcity of domestic fleeces, the new
clip Australian woods will be taken on
arrival by consumers with much
avidity, since these woods are essentially
the only class which can properly FIJI
the requirements OF fleece wool; hence
it is reasonable to presume that an ad.
vance corresponding to the cost to the
manufacturer of fleece woods will occur
as soon as these WOODS are offered on
the market
! Pulled Wools-Demaud good and
prices advanced 10 per cent.
California Wools-Offerings moder'
ate; fall woods neglected; spring woods
command full rates.
Texas Wools-ln active demand.
Foreign Wools-Prices have again
taken an upward turn.
Prices-Domestic fleece 649s0c, &C
cordipg to quality; pulled 62@7Sc; Cali
toruia 46955c Texas 40@52c.

The New York Economist sets forth
oe follovs IN a coreas vb;cb h ave rednced

The New York Economist sets forth
as follows the causes which have reduced
the supply OF wool in foreign markets:
In Australia there was also falling
off in the supply Of wool, owing, among
other causes, to the rush OF labor to the
gold mines, and the difficulty OF obtain
ing help to gather the fleeces. The same
causes also operate at the Cape IN
diminishing the supply; and now it is
difficult to forward stock to market,
owing to the scarcity in the interior of
bullock teams, they having been monop-
olized by the diamond diggers. On the
18th of January last there was a total
actual and visible supply OF Cape woods
OF only 10, III bales, against 26, O22 bales
on hand at the February sales in 1871.
The supply of Australian woods this year
is 1890 bales, against 3S,34S at the
same period in 1871. Here We have
total falling off to the extent of 3','66
bales from the two most important, and
indeed, only sources of supply outside
this country and England.
The Mt. Vernon, Ohio, Banner says;
THE wool market is stiffeping up,
which is good news for our farmers
who have been compelled to put up
with low prices for the last few years.
We understand that the agents of some
large wool houses in the East are a.
ready IN the market offering TO buy up
what wool is on hand, aad also to buy
this years clip in advance. Although
they are offering higher figures than
were paid last year, still they are by no
means paying as much as wool is now
worth in the market. We advise our,
farmers not to be in a hurry to SELF
their wool, and by no means TO part
with their sheep at present"

Whittier we are Tending.

A valuable Democratic exchange
from New York City gives the follow
ing inklings which show where our
National Government is drifting to
under the present Grant dynasty and
the rule of the mis-called Republican
party. We commend these facts to
the most considerate attention of the
American people. They are as follows:
"It should be we'll remembered and
the remembrance should take action in
the coming struggle between Ameri-
can despotism and American liberty,
that tool of Grant, Mr.. Conkling, a
Senator of the United States, misrep-
resenting the free and sovereign State
of New York, during the debate in the
Senate on the French arms outrage,
offered resolution which if passed
would stop all inquiry into the crimes
of the Administration, unless the in
dependent Republican and Democratic
Senators are prepared to inaugurate a
physical revolution. Mr.. Conklings
resolution threatens Sumner and
Schurz and all the Legislative oppC-
nents of Grant, aciM the dungeon.-
We do not exaggerate, but by refer
ring to Tuesdays debate in the Senate,
this extraordinary fact stands promin
ent Mr. Schurz in speaking Of it
said, why, sir did not know that
the Administration was in such a des-
perate condition as that. They are
developing very fast; how long will it
be until you cannot even get up testi-
mony against Leet and Stocking, the
the knights of the general order,
without having some statute dug up
that will fine and imprison you for it Z?
During the investigation of the
Custom.house commistee, the fact of
handouts being used to extort money
by the officers of Government was
brought to light, and now in the Sen
ate chamber of the United States, a
Senator threatens a colleague with the
dungeon for asserting his right to
probe the corruption of the Govern
ment
On what times have we fallen, and
if such things be only threatened now,
upon the eve Of an election, what may
we not look for when these tyrants are
firmly established in their unholy pos
session Of power?
Is this free people Or are the
Southern Rebels to be the only heroes
Of modern liberty, heroes as well as
martyrs ?"

The Press-Its Obligations.

The extreme sensitiveness, that is
so prevalent, in every community, in
reference to new ideas and changes, is
so incompatible with our democratic
republic, and civil and religious insti-
tutions, that few crude thoughts may
be of use to some unprejudiced minds.
There is no difference of opinion in
reference to the power of the press,
for good Or evil, nor the necessity Of
such an instrumentality for guarding,
aiding, and improving our religion,
politics, and social fabric. If these
premises are correct, the duty of the
press should be freedom, open to all,
biased by no monied, power party, or
religious sect, Welcome the rich
and poor, white and black, color Of
all shades, and SEX. without distinc-
ton. There is no person nor party
that has all good, and truth neither
is there party or religious society
is totally all wrong, and did we
know our ignorance and needs, as
well as some Of our neighbors do,
how much sorrow and suffering could
be exchanged into health and content
ment through the legitimate channel
the press-through its weekly visits.
Can any one question the right Of ey-
cry person that is loyal, to advise, and
assist in carrying out and improving
our political social and religious insti
tuition. Admit this, and you can't
deny the lawful right Of every person
that supports this government and is
amenable to its laws, to he heard
through the press And did we m-
derstand our strength and influence
as we ought, no press could live that
was shackled in any way.
