Pulled woods remain dull, and there is a
limited demand at 40 to soc for supers,
and about 45c for choice lambs supers
Texas woods are quiet, and the bulk of
the clip is held in that State at prices
that neither dealers or manufacturers
are ready TO pay. There continues to
be some buying in Michigan and Ohio
at about 33c to 35c in the former State
and 50 to 40c in Ohio, but there is not
much life in business as yet.
Mauger & Avery, Boston, say:
In tie main the complexion of the
wool trade is unchanged. The strong
efforts to work off stocks by forced sales
were relinquished from lack of success,
and dealers have been compelled to con-
tent themselves with supplying the ac-
tual wants of consumers, which in vol
ume and character continue insignifi-
cant and irregular Transactions are
thus inadequate to fix values, and quota
tlons are necessarily nominal.
The dOubt'and uncertainty concerning
future prices, which pervade the East
ern markets in opposition to the compa-
rative high views as to price entertained
by growers, render slow movement of
new clip tieeces highly probable The
fact that the seabOard markets are fairly
stocked with various classes of wool will
serve as further impediment, as it also
places the dealer in that attitude of in
difference to the new clip so noticeable
at the present time.
If, however, the farmers should accept
the situation and offer their woods freely,
it would probably lead to more general
purchasing, and by so doing, infuse a
better feeling into the wool market, and
this in turn would prepare the way for
the placing of the manufactured article
so that the manufacturer would be in
sured fair return.

The PHILADELPHIA Market

W. c. Houston, jr., & Co. report for
the week ending Saturday:
There has been a decidedly better bu-
siness for the past week, and although
sales in many instances have only been
effected by means of very low figures,
and any attempt to advance prices
checks trade, still it is apparent that
bottom has been reached, and there is
very little reason to apprehend any fur
ther decline.
We give what we consider market
prices to-day.
For Ohio washed prices are about
Fine, 45 to 4Sc; medium clothing and
combing, As to 52c; low clothing and
combing, 45 to 47c; common colts and
bury. 80 to 35c.
Choice tub,4S to soc; average, A to 47c.
w. II. Gregg & Co., Philadelphia.
Very little new heece-washed wool has
yet arrived, not enough to make mar
ket, consequently prices are nominal on
ly for washed. Considerable unwashed
wool has been sold this week at outside
quotations, but the woods were grown
in West Virginia and Virginia mostly,
and are of higher shrinkage than most
of the later shorn woods of other States.

Harvest is upon us. The wheat crop
is very good. The dry spell that pre-
vailed during the month of May check
ed the growth of the straw, but did not
effect the length of the head; it was
feared that the extreme heat would
blight the grain, but it suffered no per-
ceptible harm. Large quantities OF bone
dust was used on wheat fields last fall,
and its good effects are very perceptible
The oats are stretchidg up and look like
they would make an average crop. A
large amount of corn did not come up
until the late rains; the prospect for this
staple is only medium. The hay crop
will be an average one, but not more
clover, already harvested, is quite light.
The crop of apples will be good, the To-
Gusts having disappeared without dam
aging them seriously.
We have been looking around for
something new and wonderful in the
vegetable line. We procured some corn
that natures in 80 days, which has now
been in taSSel for one week, and anoth-
er variety that is said to produce II ears
to the stalk-(H., of Uniontown, will
please make note of this, and call
around)-we also obtained some seed
that will grow pumpkins that weigh 300
pounds-and last, but not least. we got
some watermelon seed that will produce
melons weighing 75 pounds. If we pro-
duce one of that size we will present it
to the boys in the CHRONICLE office
provided they don't steal it before it gets
ripe.
Jas. Cope, Esq, is. putting up very
nice new house-C. Etzler, contractor.

HARPER's MAGAZINE for July, apart
from its splendid pictorial attractions
is an exceedingly popular Number.
One of its strongest features is the be-
ginning of new serial novel, by Henry
James, Jr., entitled Washington Square.
This story is entirely American.
The Number opens with a brief but
excellent article on the late VIM. M.
Hunt, by Miss Maria R. Oakley, with a
mastery portrait of the artist.
1t is seldom that descriptive articles
have the depth and meaning which
make Rebecca Harding DaYis's "By-
Paths in the Mountains" second
paper in this Number-so interesting.
This is the first of three papers to be
given under this title. 1t is beautifully
illustrated.
Mr.. A. A. Hayes, Jr., contributes a
graphic description of tine old Sante Fe
Trail-full of romantic adventures.
The most popular article in the Num-

ing biographical sketch of Queen Vic
tOria. Five portraits of the Queen, at
different periods, are given.
Another paper of much historical in
terest is Princes and Potentates of lS4O,'
with eight portraits.

WOOL.
The Boston Market.

A. NJ. Rowland & Cos circular of Sat
urday says:
The total receipts of wool at this port
during the past week comprise 6,2SS
bales domestic and 912 bales foreign,
against 14,OS7 bales domestic and 1902
foreign for the same time last year.
The past week has developed no ma
terial change in the wool market, and
the sales do not show any increase
IN the volume of trade. A num-
Der of houses have not made a single
sale, and more than third of the bust
ness was done by two firms. There
have been rather more manufacturers
in the market, but they seem to be in
terested in looking around rather than
in purchasing. No one can forecast the
future, but it is certain there must first
come demand for wool before athere
will be any life or spirit to the wool
trade, and growers cannot expect to
move their wool unless there is demand
for cloth.
There have been some small sales of
old fleece wool the past week at 80 to 40c.
for New Hampshire and New York, and
43 to 45c for XX Ohio and Virginia. No.
/ Ohio has sold up to 4719c in small
way, but there is very little inquiry.

THE wheat crop now being harvested
is an extraordinary one, both as to quail
ity and quantity, and as result prices
are weakening. The news from Europe
indicates a good crop over there, although
because of the great deficiencies of last
years crop they will still need heavy
shipments from America. Our good
crops will give US cheap bread, help the
transportation lines, and because of the
continued demand from Europe will
give US more gold and continued busi-
ness prosperity.
