We take the following from Waiter Brown "
Co s last wool circular:
The wool market has been steady since our
report OF a week ago, with fair demand from
manufacturers ami viii we do not note any
advance in the values of fine washed leeces,
there is little stronger feeling ON the part of
dealers III tue belief that the new clip from Ohio,
Mlchgan etc, will be late this season, and that
ali the fleece woods now in the markets Will be
wanted before any other is available.
The demand continues To be limited TO fine
| and the better medium grades Of WOOL low me
dum and coarse are in but little request for the
present wants of manufacturers. The prospects
Indicate quite clearly that the mi Is this season
Will run ON goods requiring the liuer grades OF
| raw material, and these VIII probably meet with
| quick sale at satisfactory prices while the low
and coarse qualities win be neglected
The market is closely sold up on unwashed
woods OF the grades now In general use among
| manufacturers, and new clips as they arrive,
| are quickly taken for consumption ut fun quota
| lions. The reports from Kansas and other west
| ern points mention the lighter condition of the
| woods this year, and their averaging some
y luudS less to the fleece than they did last sea
Bn. This falling or in the weight, in II great
| measure, is probably due to the high price Of
| grain during the past winter, causing the grow.

same time II makes yOlk rs well, aud adds to the

| The growers who consigned their clips to east
ern markets last year, were generally well salts

precialcd by consumers, who, while they do no
care particularly VIII IRE they buy their stock
| provided II does not cost too high, Mt the sam
time expressed satisfaction in getting woods IL
direct from the producer as is practicable. The
believe that all growers who adopt this mothO
of dlsposing of their clips will find that tn
| result OF II series of years will accrue 10 thei
| advantage.
