The following is from Walter Brown & Co s
circular of the sth; There is but little to report
OF the wool market since our last circular With
holiday coming early In the week, there was u
tendency to include the day previous which re-
striCteu the period OF 0cuNo business 10 nearly
half the usual time.
The general policy OF cautious buying dis.
played by manufacturers during the past fow
weeks continues, and the volume of sales Is not
up to the average although no material change
can be made III the range of quotations
There is considerable complaint by manufac-
turers in regard to the distribution Of their
goods. The bsckwardness of the spring has
been serious drGwbsck to the closing out of
lightweight fabrics. and it is possible thata con.
siderable quantity OF these goods may have been
carried over or sold Mt sacrifice, in order to
Keep the stocks well cleaned up.
with the wooden trade so quiet II Is fortu-
nate circumstance that the new clip of wool
should be so slow in arriving at the seaboard.
Had the accumulation been as great as it was vt
this time last year, It is probable that the press.
ure would have brought about Il considerable
decline in values. As 1t is the light receipts
have enabled holders to maintain prices on quito
u steady basis.
Reports from the interior give favorable nc.
counts of crops, aud as IL is generally conceded
that tho prosperity of all branches of mercantile
and manufacturing industries depends apOn the
success of the farmers it 1. TO be hoped that
the certainty of good and buuutitul harvest
VIII give renewed impetus to the fall trade,
mat Will more than compensate for M unsatis-
factory spring business
The demand continues for fine and fine me-
dium woods, the cOarser grades meeting with no
inquiry except ut low prices Woods from the
neece-washed districts are arriving very slowly,
and the consumption of dcainc being mostly
confined 10 these, has kept strong demand ap-
parent for this grade
California woods are perhaps the most sluggish
on the market They seem to meet with but
little favor from manufacturers, as compared
with former years. This is largely accounted
for by the greatly improved character of the
WOODS from our western states territories and
Texas which are annually taking n more promi.
nGnt place in the consumption of the eastern

There may be some slight fluctuations In
prices during tho next few weeks but we do
not anticipate any material change in values OF
the staple.
