WOOL, HIDES AND PELTRIEs.
Walter Brown h Co.'s. circular Of the 9th

says
New woods are coming forward slowly,
partly from the fact that shearing is late,
owing to the unreasonable weather, and
placed on the woods by local buyers and the
growers. Those woods received have met
with attention from consumers, and while
prices are perhaps somewhat lower than
was anticipated month ago, they compare
favorably with those obtainable for the old
wool still offering on the market.
The only woods that may be said to be in
good demand are the combing grades, The
mills manufacturing wOrsted goods and
yarns are running full time, and are enjoy
ing free distribution of their productions;
hence with small supply of raw material
on the market, prices are well maintained
and the woods closely sold up. Other classes
Of goods are accumulating, however, and
there is no inducement for the mills to con.
tinue their manufacture until there Is some
adjustment of the supply to the demand.
Reports from the London sales indicate a
strong market for the best woods, and with
the exception of some purchases suitable
for our worsted mills, 1t is probable that
very little will be taken for the American
trade. There is therefore no cause to fear
any material addition from that source, to
viz supply vi WoolS VII ouT uulll6 uhT kct.
The receipts from Texas are still only
moderate, the woods thus far opened, are
In good condition and have met with ready
sale within the range of our quotations.
While these woods will undoubtedly sympa-
thize with the general condition Of the
market, the comparatively light shrinkage
OF this years clip promises quick sales at
good market values.
