WOOL, HIDES AND PELTRI e.

The Boston Bulletin says: We have to re-
port the smallest weeks business in WOO
that has occurred this year, the sales of do.
nestle being but ] ,094, 800 pounds, and Of
| foreign LAG, 800 pounds, or 100000 pounds
in all. Some of the local papers of this city
report large business by including SOC, COO
pounds of Montevideo wool which they
have Just heard of, but which was reported
in the Bulletin fortnight ago. Not only
is the demand from manufacturers very
moderate, but the supply of foreign wool is
much larger than was expected, and with
another auction sale opening in London
next Tuesday, and a reduction of 3 cents
per pound in the tariff on the list OF July,
the tone of the whole trade is naturally con-
servative. Nearly 200, 900 pounds of Mon
tevideo wool came in this week. We are
not. among those who desire to depress the
market temporarily in order to assist deal
ers in buying the rev clip at low prices, and
If anything favorable occurs 1t will be speed
ily printed in these columns. But our
market is now dull and llstless.
A sack of letters from Texas has been
placed at our disposal this week, but we Sc.
lect the following as concise statement of
the condition of affairs there, the correct
ness Of which we have verified:
"San Antonio-Some tolerably large pur-
chases have been made here at the follow
ing figures: Texas, coarse, 13 to l5c; i'm.
proved Mexican, II 10 zoe; low medium, 20
to DC; medium, 22i to 24c; fine, 24c; ~
months clip, Csc, Twelve-months' woods
of good staple and fine condition have been
sold readily at 25c, but within the past few
DAYS the market has been very quiet"
From California q still slower movement
is reported, and there is very large accu-
mutation of wool in San Francisco. In
Kentucky and Missouri the new woods are
being bought pretty freely at 25c in the
former state and % to 24c in the latter. The
movement in these sections is due to the
demand for medium woods, OF which there
is a scarcity in this market in both clothing
and combing descriptions. The same in
fuence is beginning TO be felt in Georgia
and Indiana. Some fat sleeps wool is be-
ing received from Ohio and selling at Is to
CSC for fine; 30 10 &c for medium, and ~ TO
Csc for coarse"
From Boston II is learned that there has
been a light business in foreign hides, with
sales mainly in small lots; holders are arm
on prices, and claim that no more conces-
sions will be made, as the stock here and
the shipments on the way are unusually
small no receipts Of sides the past week
| from foreign sources; the brig III Japere,
from Beunos Ayres for New York, reported
ioundered at ses. had 10 600 sides on board
consigned TO Boston house no sales OF
Brighton hides are reported; the price Is
STEADY nv Jtc OUT oi SAT- ~, ssoeIs, Willy ~
cows are firm at 81 TO SIC; there appears 10
be a better demand for light slaughter
hides than for heavy.
