WOOL. HIDES AND PEITRIEs

The situation has developed no change
for the better during the past week. The
volume OF business has increased to some
extent under more liberal offerings OF new
unwashed woods, which manufacturers
whose stocks have run low have been
obliged to purchase to bridge over early
wants; but there has been u noticeable alb
sence of speculative feeling, and little, if
anything has been done by large oonsum-
ers IN the way of providing stocks for iu-
ture requirements This hesitancy ON the
part OF buyers is due largely to the pre-
vailing uncertainty rs TO the practical
effect of the new tariff on the mar
kets for wool and WOODEN yarns
and manufactured goods. 1t is be.
i,eved IN some quarters that this influence
upon prices has been already discounted in
many lines, but extreme caution is likely
to characterize the trade until the matter
has actually been put to u test. The unsat.
isiactory condition of the wooden goods
trade also restricts demand, A good deal
OF machinery has been stopped during the
week, and further suspensions are probable
during the next thirty days. This move.
ment to curtail production has been inaug.
mrated by manufacturers as u remedy for
the existing depression In tho dis
tr,buting trade. Som@ of the
Rhode Island mills have announced n
total stoppage for sixty days, and other
mills in New England and the middle
states have reduced their capacity and will
work on short time for an indefinite period
The exact extent OF the curtailment of pro.
duction cannot be determined, but the sus.
pensions announced are sufficient to cause
n marked decrease In the consumption of
wool during the next two months. Country
markets. continue quiet, but comparatively
steady, at prices that are generally above A

HARDWAKEAND METALS,

IL is believed by many in the trade that
the drop in the prices OF American pig iron
made on Monday places them at the lowest
point at which they are likely TO go as the
result OF the existing causes of depression.
The cut from So to $50 for No. and from
so TO $40 for No, . American made by the
Thomas company, Is but the formal admis.
sion and recognition OF prices to which
other sellers have been cutting In the shape
OF rebates on purchases made OF them.
During the past week sales OF pig iron have
been noticeably greater IN this market than
In the same space OF time for several
months. IL cannot now be said
that prices are any stronger
than was TO he expected after the
decline, but the feeling IN the trade has
certainly improved and buyers who have
been out Of the market for long time have
begun sending orders for larger lots than
customary sales here have bsen averaging
OF late The depressing effect OF lG0,0 900
tons OF pig iron nj the furnaces tributary to
New York aud Philadelphia markets still
hangs over the situation, and 1t is believed
that few more furnaces will have to so To
the wall before consumption can meet pro-
ducton and cat into stocks at all, The
opinion has been expressed, however, mas
much ss heavy buyers are sending out
stable orders, and from the TACT that the
wants OF the trade are always largest in the
latter half OF the year, that the outlook is
fairly bright for moderate revival in de-
mand after July.

A New York paper says; "a feature of
some Significance transplred at to-day's
auction sale. A line of $50 bbls currants
were offered, five of which sold at ole. while
the remainder were withdrawn for want of
better bids. The raisins offered were allowed
to go at low rates. The impression from
this was that the holder has some conf
dence in better prices for currants, though
apparently not enthusiastic ON the idea of
higher figures for raisns"
The California fruit raisers, especially
growers OF oranges, are glad to obtain one
cent apiece for them at wholesale. When
the same fruit reaches Chicago, for instance,
they cost the consumer seven to ten
cents apiece. But the added cost
is not the result of eXorbtant charging
on the part of the eastern
retailer. II means that the Pacific railway
must have ana are in n position to take
enormous profits, $225 per car having been
the rate tor oranges from Los Angeles, Cal.
to Chicago. This state OF affairs bore hard
upon the California fruit raisers in that it
almost entirely restricted them to their
home markets. The freight to the east
acted as II piohibtive tariff in favor of
oranges cheaply ireghted from Florida.
Havana, and the more distant east. About
June LIST, however, for some occult reason
the freight rates were lowered 800 per car.
AS n natural result the reduction has largely
stimulated expectation of the fruit from
southern California The exact increase il
not known. Oranges are going forward
