chants. Farming classes being confined
to'their work makes country trade light at
present. In a local way, all kinds Of build
ting material is in demand and mechanics
all busy.
There is no new feature in the grain trade
to note, save a steady market at last weeks
quotations, and little better feeling as to
future prospects. Nothing definite from
the old world to indicate very material
advance in prices, though the opinion pre-
wallis that prices can not decline.
The advance of the tariff on overland
froights, by the combination Of the g. r. &
" +. Railroads, and the P. M. 81 s. Co.,
will work hardship upon wool growers
as the increase is supposed to be equal to
about twocents apound on wool. This, for
the amount Of wool on the Pacific coast,
will make quite bonanza for the COM
panies. But the hardship to wool growers
is not all the trouble. The high rates Of
overland freights will cause large ship
ments via Cape Horn, and advance the
rates Of tonnage generally. More than
likely grain charters will advance as the
result Of this combination, from two to
three dollars ton, on Liverpool charters.
This will take or from six to nine cents
bushel on our next years crop.
Following are the latest advices from the
Boston wool market, under date Of the 18th
instant:
There has been fair amount Of business
IN, hn Ia
isfactory. Holders are disposed to close
out stock on hand, but manufacturers are
Indifferent about further supplies, and are
purchasing only for immediate wants.
The spring trade in goods has rather
disappointed expectations so far, as the
feeling grows stronger that prices of wool
mustsettle down when the new crop Of the
country begins to come in. Fine ileeees
have been more sought after the past week,
and sales have been $4,000 pounds mostly
at about 52@54c, some very choice X and
No. at 55a a lot Of $4,000 pounds choice
No. at Soc per pound. Included in the
above are 22,500 Rpounds choice Pennsyl-
vania and West Virginia iieeces at about54c
y ID, to arrive This was the only con-
siderable lot of wool held in the interior,
and.was taken by leading mills. Recent
transactions in fine fleeces have materially
reduced stock, aed the supply now in the
hands Of a very few houses. Combing and
delaine fleeoes are still sought for and COM
selling at 67lScP ID. No. / is also very
scarce and wanted, and continues to COM
mand higher price than picked lots, q
4 lot of 1000 lbs choice Ohio having been
taken ut SOC. Pulled wool is still in do
maud at unchanged prices. The supply
for some weeks past mas not exceeded the
demand, but with any falling off prices
woold reoede. IN California wool the
transactions Of the week have been 21 900
lbs fall at l5@25c; 0l,O00 TBS spring at
3O@36c v ID. Recent receipts of fall wool
have been Of much better quality and con-
dition than any previously received.
