The Wool Market.
From Walter Brown & Sons New Ior
June Circular.


/ From Walter Brown & Sons New York
June Circular.
There has been Il fair business done in
wool during the past month, the trans
actions being principally in California,
however, with other classes comparative
ly quiet.
The arrivals from California have been
large during the past few weeks, and
holders generally show disposition 10
meet the views OF buyers on these woods
at range of 30@35c for the best clips
and 2jG SOC for average parcels. The
continued dullness in the goods market
influences manufacturers TO select such
woods rs will make them the cheapest
stock, and enable them 10 dispose oi
their productions without loss. This cal
not be accomplished by the use of heeces
to any great extent hence they have been
free purchasers ofCalifornia, which, At the
ruling rates, will make the goods now IN
demanat lower cost than
any other description. In buy
ing these woods, however, they are
careful to select the best conditioned lots,
and the inferior parcels, which do no!
meet with IS much favor, may show
some decline from present quotations be-
fore they can be forced into consumpt-
ion.
We do not get very satisfactory re
ports from the interior in reference 10
the new clip o: domestic heeces. Grow
ers have fixed their views too high to ad-
nit of the woois meeting the market at
profit to operators, and with the except
ion of some purchases of comslng, and
medium selections, needed for immediate
consumption, we do not hear of any large
amount having changed from first hands.
In Ohio and Michigan some local buy
ers are taking clips at 4jc for the former
and 400 APE for the latter woods, but un-
less they succeed in getting unusual de-
ductiOns for all ill-conditioned fleece
these prices leave do margin for profit
when the woods reach the seabOard mar
kets.
With the small percentage of fleece
woCls now being used there is probably
enough of last seaasons clip to supply
the mills for several weeks, and unless
the new woods settle to II point which 10
manufacturers seems more reasonable,
they are likely to bc neglected during
the summer months.
1t Is the general opinion among tn"
trade, at the present writing, that no de-
scription Of wool is likely to show any
advance during the next few months,
and unless there should be some decided
improvement in the woolen goods trade
facturers, who for so long past have beer
slow 10 make any prominent move in th"
market it is not unlikely we shall see
some falling of from present quotations.
Texas woods have arrived in liberal
amounts during the month, making
large assortment of there woods on the mar
ket. For choice conditioned Eastern
clips there has been fair inquiry, and,
rs the shrinkagc of them is light,
they have commanded full rates. West
ern lots have been neglected eTcep. nt
low figures
PULLED WooLs-There is very little
Of these now coming on the market.
The lots unsold are generally held by
firm parties, who, knowing that We can
not get any more long woods for scycrai
months, are satisfied that their views will
be met bv consumers.

SToCKs-Busincs- in financial circles
was unsettled this afternoon by cXaCg"r-
atcd reports Of the Gold Room troubles
and forgerics and defalcatious in regard
to the Gold Room. Jacob Rubino, heavy
operator on the bull side was embarrassed
by the sharp decline in gold which fol
lowed the Washington dispatch about the
purchase of silver and the reduction in
the Bank of England rate of discount,
and to-day when the gold which he had
loaned in the market was returned to
him. he was unable 10 take it up and
make his clearings. Some of the gold
was sold on. twI,c-tir-t privately and
then publically, which accounts for the
scarcity OF gold at one time To-Day, the
floating supply being small. About
$4,000 gold was sold out under the
rule for Rubino and 10000 share, Of
Lake Shore and Western Union, and
hence the decline in theses hAres. As to
bank troubles, it appears that on Tuesday
