wool houses OF Philadelphia, dated May 1st,
we quote:
Wool is dull, with prices lower than at the
beginning of April. The feeling is quite
general among manufacturers and dealers,
that more decline must be submitted to be
fore wool can be freely sold. The greatest
decline has been in the fine nnwasned
grades, which are offered at twenty five
cents. This includes fine fat sheep wool and
fine California, such as were freely sold one
year ago for tnirty-tiye cents. Medium and
coarse ulwashed clothing fieeces sell at the
low figure Of from thirty to thirty-three
cents. ri III Mnif -5- n 4a+--+.+ ,e3HF-tf
Prices forlunwashed woods are g~nitennset-
tied. Forty-four cents may be considered
an outside price for fine Ohio; Michigan
and New York fine are offered at thirty-sev-
en- and one-half and thirty-eight cents. Par
ties are now proposing to deliver Ohio fine
fleeces in the Eastern markets, during July
and August, at forty cents, and offer to con-
tract at the above figures. If these prices
continue, it will be necessary to buy I'M
washed in the country at from twenty to.
twenty-five ,cents-and thirty to thirty-three
cents will be outside prices. for washed
~fieeces.n There has been no time since 1861,
when the wooden manufacturing business
has boon so much depressed as it is at the
present time w. .r~r. t.ra4aaTes n.
If this unsatisfactory state of affairs con-
tinues, and the bulk of the clip of California
and Texas is thrown on a, dull market, prices
must be much lower for the coming clip
than they have been since the spring of 1861,
"A very small proportion. Of the, goods manu-
featured are selling at a profit, and in many
cases they do not even realize the cost of the
wool. sz4t. .
Since our last circular, wool has been dull
and declining with trade in am unsatisfactory
and derinoralized condition. Prices are adj
United to be low enough, but as goods do
%not1sell, manufacturers decline to buy. The
stoppage of a large amount of machinery is
now being felt by the trade, and the amount
of wool that will be carried over, plainly
! shows that the clip Of the United States is in
+ excess of present requirements. AS supply
/ and demand regulate prices, we may look
f for lower figures the coflhlgg]season. Prices
that we would have considered safe, at
which to contract ten days ago, now seem
too high, and until there is some improve
ment in the manufacturing business, wool
must continue dull and dropping, with
prices in favor of buyers. We are receiving
calls manufacturers from all parts ot
f the country, who are in this city arranging
their goods at the Centennial Exposition.
Being in this extensive wool market, they
improve the, opportunity bylooking through
onp c~onsignments. ..iW .o78Ts. .A .tHl4I@1
