. WOOL AND HIDES.

THERE Is nm 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
faso seeks Dallas as a market Prices are still
strong and the demand remains firm, and these
favorable conditions are liable to continue We
make the following:

Walter Brown 4 Co S last circular from Boston
says The past week In the wool market has
been an exceedingly quiet one and sales show a
railing oil III amounts compared with the pre-.
vious weeks transactions of about 500 900
pounds but as the business week has been
broken one on acc unit of the holiday of the 18th
Inst we do not think the decrease In the sales
should be considered ms indicating n weaker and
duller market than reported In our last circular
Notwithstanding the light sales, dullness o.
trade and comparatively insufficient prices the
general tone Of the wool market has been on the
whole rather iirmer than dunng the past NV
weeks, and considering the very unsatisfactory
market OF the past three months, prices have
held their own remarkably well, aud curren,
quotations are materially the same on the finer
grades at least rs they have been since the first
OF spring, which probably can be accounted for
by the continuous policy pursued by manufsc'
turers In their purchases and In the belief OF
holders that all of the desirable and available
woods would be required before the new clip
could be placed upon thy market,
| The woods which still command the most ut.
tention are those from Texas and California, and
| although the sales of the former have been
smaller This week than last by about 1900
pounds of the latter there has been All increase
OF over 10, 0O1 pounds. the sales of Ohio fleece
| have been light but stocks are small aud maniis
iacturcrs are turning their attention toward the
INTERIOR where In some instances buyers are
! operating for the manufacturers and dealers bu
| the maj urity OF operators seem inclined TO move
with caution, and not TO purchase except Mt tn,
most reasonable figures Kansas and Missouri
wuols are beginning 10 arrive freely and the re.
colpts thus far indi ate that while from som,
| sections the woods show ho particular improve.
mcnt IN condition, over those of last year, the
bulk OF the woods are perhaps better both In
! condition and character than they have been In
previous years and will probably meet with
prompt sales at ullpriccs,
The improved tone to the wooden goods mar
sot noted In our last issue has continued; lan.
nels have been quite active and blankets are In
! better demand, aud the advlces from the Lon.
don auction sales remain favorable, prices are
steady and the competition brisk. The general
impression Is, that the outlook the coming sea
son for u prosperous business Is good and 10 the
conservative operator tho present quiet condi.
| ton OF the market IL preferable than TO have M
| excited and unsettled ono now, lust rs the new
| woods are being marketed, wnen any uujusiin-
able advance In prices would have but n bad
elect upon values ruling later In the season.
