WOOL AND HIDES.

TuE wool trade In this city may be said to
have fairly opened, and receipts sfe increasing
rapidly. The clip this year is larger than usual
and the quality OF the wool excellent. Prices
those in more southern localities, and the de-
mand is always active. 1t will DO noticed that
our quotations are fully up 10 expectations and
on parity with those In Boston and other mar
kets. There is an active demand for hides, and
prices Tor all grades are very firm.

The past week shows no material change in
the market manufacturers continue their eau
uous policy In buying ana make careful selcc-
tons from the assortment still remaining un-
sold of the 81 clip. They will not however
listen 10 any upward tendency IN the present
stock of necces, and the natural desire among
dealers, to clean up their lofts NJ this period is
suihcient induccment TO meet the view of con.
sumors.
Al the same time, the transactions of the past
few weeks have reduced the visible supply very
materially, and although there is no probability
OF any scarcity the woods of last year S clip will
be closely sold up before the new shearing is
ready from the washed.wool districts.
several small shipments of new unwashcd
wool have arrived from the western states aud
Texas principally of hne grade, and have been
sold freely NJ tull current rates. Ii these woods
are any criterion OF the general character OF the
clip in those sections, the woods will be found I'm
condition. much better than last year.
As we have previously stated, these unwashei
wools are annually Increasing In favor with
manufacturers the efforts made by growers 10
improve their stocks by careful breeding, and
also by the purchase OF the best sheep they can
find In Ohio, Pennsylvania etc, Is resulting IN
the production OF wool that for working quail
ties, will compare favorably with any grown In
