If the Senatorial question were sub

or four votes to one, as against any 9th

glad to have him remaiu at the head Of

is probably impracticable to retain his
services there, then they say, we must
send him again to his old place in the
Senate, which he gave up to carry out
the great Work of resumption.

The Wool Market.

New York Bulletin of Saturday.
The week, broken by Thanksgiving
holiday, has had Il tendency to check the
attendance of buyers somewhat,and busi-
ness no doubt suffered slightly in cOnse-
quence. All things considered, howev-
er, the movement was very fair, and a
cheerful, hopeful tone retained on most
grades of stock. Manufacturers are not
in all cases satisfied with the prospect
for their product, but leading and pop
ular makes of goods have found steady
outlet all the fall, and still meet with at
tention in such form as to afford much
encouragement and reflect favorable
influence upon less desirable stock; and
this, in conjunction with reduced accu-
mutations at the mills, leads to the
opening of negotiations on desirable
parcels to quite a full extent. The cost
of wool at all primary points also con-
tinues very strong,and dealers who have
recently returned from the interior in
form US that the holders manifest great
confidence in the future, with views
much above the parity of this market.
Texas and California advices are also
stiff, with freight charges from the lat
ter point higher, and there is still an ab-
sence of anything from foreign points
calculated to lead to the belief that i'm
portatiOns can increase. Values here
are hardening, and holders, while meet
ing the call fairly, show no disposition
to force matters. On choice XX soc is
asked, but dealers who have sod exten-
sively this week say it cannot be depen-
ded upon as yet. We hear of no actual
speculative movement as yet, but there
appears to be an apprehension that out
side operators may be attracted and Gre
ate an unhealthy boom" not warranted
by the legitimate influences of the posi-
tion. The transactions this week made
public include 5000 pounds X and above
Ohio at 4Sa49c; 10000 pounds Xxx Ohio
extra fine at SIC.
