In addition to the above telegram we
have the following advices from the New
York Bulletin OF Saturday:
Stocks continue to DO held very con.
ildently on all grades, and are offered with
indifference in the majority OF cases, with
many OF the more desirable assortments
entirely Withdrawn on the determination
OF owners to carry for the extreme limit at
which they have placed their valuation,
This still seems to be about the most
violent form of speculation to which our
market Is subject, and the same healthy
feeling growing out Of full aud legitimate
movements Of supplies towards consump-
ton at gradually hardening values, is
again to be found in the expression OF
views by most operators. The feeling this
week is stronger il anything, in view Of
the encouraging condition OF affairs at the
Eastward aud the firm accounts from
abroad, and we find at the close an incl.
nation to more generally withdraw de.
sirable parcels OF clothing woods down to
closer limit than ever. The California
markets. arc said to be all cleared Of stock,
and the offerings from Texas greatly re.
duCed, with the tone on prices somewhat
buoyant, while through the Western
States it is extremely difficult to find any
parcels Of fine woods on which bids would
be entertained. The best parcels Of Y
and Xxx are held at 46a4Sa4Jc, and XXX
SOC, and in some cases even higher, with
reports at hand that all these prices have
been made in Boston, where the move.
ment is heavy. Foreign clothing woods
as yet have no established market, but
carpet stock is in demand and firm. A
goodly portion OF the business OF the week
has been between dealers, though manu-.
faCturers bought fairly.
There is not very much TO say about the
Wheeling market. On Saturday last Mr..
S. Horkheimer reported about $4,000
pounds on hand here and at GAINESVILLE,
and Mr.. II. X. List about 100000 pounds
in his warehouse in this city. Both par
ties are holding for higher prices, and the
former declined an offer OF "A cents for his
entire holdings. A party at Washington,
Pa, is reported to have closed out 10, 900
pounds at IS cents last week. One or two
eaSern buyers were in this market looking
at stocks, but made no purchases. It is
not unlikely that they will soon be ready
to meet the views Of those who have wool
to sell. There is very little wool now In
the hands of growers. Perhaps $4,000
pounds could hardly be scraped together
in several counties hereabouts. Those
who have any are gradually letting it 20 at
the rising figures current for some time
past Mr.. List bought recently 10000
pounds at 40 cents, which is the highest
price he has paid this season. Mr.. Hork.
heimer has bought some at Al cents. As
things now look, it is not improbable that
the stocks held here will be closed out at
very satisfactory figures to those who have
accumulated them.
