sidersbly brighter, and they can feel
SOM encouragement to purchase in
advance OF their immediate require
ments.
Should the goods market continue
as dull ss al present, FOR the next two
months, we can hardly expect anything
but quiet and slow demand.
The wool house Of JusTlcE, BArEHAM
& Co., OF Philadelphia, have issued the
following circular letter;
During the last thirty days wool
has been dull. Manufacturers have
been holding out OF the market, and
have bought only enough 10 supply
their most pressing wants. The stock
OF wool in the Eastern markets is un'
usually small Tor the season. Some
qualities have entirely disappeared,
and will not again he found until the
arrival OF the new clip. Fine grades
are most abundant.
The advancing tendency manifested
here has been checked by the course oi
the London auctions, where fine AUS
tralians have been sold at decline sut
iicient 10 permit their being bought in
at prices competing with Domestic.
The backward spring and cold wet
weather will make shearing later than
usual. Manufacturing and general susIA
ness is in such a lsnguishing state that
but little interest is shown in the ap.
preaching clip. We DO not remember
10 have seen so much indifference 10
the opening prices OF new wool as ls
now shown in the Eastern markets.
We think the opening prices OF last
year will pay a margin to shippers, but
in consequence OF the dullnesS OF trade
we think wool will open actively.
FRETsHrs are very low by the river.
We saw a large invoice OF nails going
aboard for St. Louis, the other day, at
10 cents per keg. And it is believed
that an important concession will be
made in a few days, on way.freights, 10y
the B. 4 D. r. r. Heretofore the
charges on such articles as bacon, iron,
flour, &c, from Wheeling to Piedmont
and Cum berland, have been 4Oc per 100
lbs, while the same goods were carried
from Cincinnati to those points for 25C.
1t is believed that an arrangement will
be completed within few days by
which freights OF the class named vii!
be carried from Wheeling to Grafton
and all points beyond for Soc per hun
dred. This will be a great aid to the
merchants and business men OF this
city, and will prove a most popular a:
well as a profitable move on The part o
the railroad company.
Our nail mills are all still running
on full time, except the La Belle which
is temporsrislly idle, caused by an ac'
cident. The demand for nails has beer
unusually good all season, single mil
having sold 900 kegs during tn. dul
est three months OF the year, viz: jan
uary, February and March. The pric,
OF nails, however, is low and not quite
satisfactory; and many Of the Mills IL
Pittsburgh and other places are stop
ping. Wheeling, however, csn run or
under full mead until about the usua
time for a short stop during the no
weather-as our nails are always taker
in preference to all others at the sam,
