WOOL, HIDES AND PELTRIEs.

Walter Brown Il Co.'S, Boston, circular OF
June LIST. states as follows:
Six weeks ago il was the opinion of several
houses interested In the trade that there
would be "spurt" in the market before
the new clip was shorn, those who held to
this view, however. have been disappointed
and to close out their stocks, have been
obliged to make considerable concessions
from previous rates. These reduced values,
however, are principally noticeable in fine
washed tleeces which were relatively higher
than other classes. Unwashed woods being
in very small stock and yielding cheaper
Q can woods, have not shown much change
III duotable values.
Had il not been for the very unsatisfactory
sale Of wooden goods for several months
past, and the consequent hesitation of
manufacturers to purchase in excess
OF their wants, 1t is quite probable
that the expected activity would have
become an established fact, for there is no
doubt that the stocks in the eastern mar
kets are smaller than at any time for sew
eral years. The course OF consumers, how
ever, in curtailing the production of goods
and of buying only from hand to mouth,
has prevented any excitement that might
have otherwise occurred.
1t is the opinion of many manufacturers
that the production of goods has been in
excess of the requirements of the country,
and a number OF them have expressed the
determination to stop their mills for some
weeks. Such a course would undoubtedly
have beneficial effect in equalizing the
supply and demand, and in restoring a
healthy tone to that branch of trade. 1t
viii also tend to check the importation of
competing wOols and with a renewal of &C.
tivity in wOOlens, which would naturally
follow the reduced production alluded to,
We could reasonably expect more favora-
BILE market for our domestic woods than
could otherwise be anticipated.
Texas Wools-But little of the new clip
has appeared in the eastern markets.
What has been received, however, is of su-
perior condition and would indicate ia
Orable place in the consumption of the
mills In the local markets of the state
there Is considerable discrepancy between
the views of the growers and buyers as to
the value of woods, and unless there is some
change in this point IL is probable that o
large proportion of the WOODS will be CON
signed by the growers to eastern commits
sion houses.
Unwashed and Territory woods west of
the Mississippi have not yet moved to any
great extent; few lots have come forward,
and are generally of good condition. There
is the same difference of opinion between
the grower and buyer as mentioned of
Texas woods regard ng their value, and
those feeling that they are not offered fair
price will undoubtedly seek the eastern
markets for the disposition of their woods.
