WOOL AND HIDES.

THERE is an immense business transacted In
Dallas in hides and wool. Probably II is safe to
say that three-fourths of the hide products and
one fourth OF the wool clip from Marshall To Fl
Paso seeks Dallas rs Il market Prices are still
strong and the demand remains firm. and these
favorable conditions are liable 10 continue. We
make the following:

The following is from Walter Brown 4 Co.'S
wool circular of June 8:
During the past week the sales In the market
have been the smallest of any for this year, or
for the corresponding time oflast year, which can
be partially accounted for by the unpleasant
weather and to Decoration Day, which is now
generally observed as u national holiday
throughout the country Manufacturers ale as
yet uncertain what the styles of their products
will be, and with the threatened strikes and
labor troubles throughout the country, they arc
probably justified in pursuing the course which
has marked their policy for the last six months,
and with but few exceptions since the spring
OF 1880 and are buying in only small quantities
10 supply their immediate wants. Not only are
the sea-board markets depressed, but adj
vices from the interior indicate that
consumers are not buying in the coun'
try as has been their custom in nre.
vious years, rs il IS probable that their e1pe-
rience last season was not such as to cause
them to care for Il repetition of the same, and
the continued dizziness in the sales of woolcns
renders them comparatively easy about their
future supplies.
While the prompt shipment of their purchases
In most Instances would indicate that's some mills
ut least are running on light stocks, the large
transactions OF the first three months of this year
render the total amount of sales over six mil
lion pounds in advance Of those of the same date
last year, and MS on q whole woolen goods have
not sold MS well this season as the last the natural
conclusion is that manufacturers have stocks
enough to last them for some time rs yet and
with the knowledge that the entire clip will soon
be available there would seem 20 be no immedi-
ate prospect of any legitimate advance in prices
for the next month and that values would re-
main nomnally unchanged from present quota
tons. The decrease in The amount of sales for
the last week las been on no particular grades
or character of woods. the falling OF in quantity
being about equal on all classes except the fine
nnwnShed and understandable woods, the sales
of which show an increase of about 900 pounds
over those OF last week, ut July sustained prices,
and 1t is likely that these woods will continue to
meet during the coming season with their pres
ent good demand MS their increased sales prove
their deserved merits are becoming better appre
ciatcd every year
There is nothing new TO report In the trans
actions of either the fine combing and delaine
or the medium and low clothing woods, the sales
OF the Combing grades have been in small
amounts at previous quotations to close ac-
conts and while the IL blood, or fine medium
and :. clothing woods meet with steady de-
mand at good prices the Ia blood and low woods
sell very slowly, and at theJnost unsatisfactory
prices.
