WOOL, HIDES AND PELTKIES.

Manager & Avery's wool circular says the
condition OF the wool market has not at al
improved since our April circular, but is in
TACT In worst shape than at that time. On
account OF the paucity OF stocks a great
many felt confident that manufac, urers
would be compelled, before new WOODS al
rived, to take what remained of old fleeceS
al best price obtainable. But being better
supplied than was supposed, and IL ssening
their production of goods, as well as by or.
dering to some extent of colonial woods,
manufacturers have been able to keep out
OF market until this time, and ii a general
stoppage OF the machineryin June is agreed
upon, the supplies will prove ample without
any of the large amount OF foreign wool
which will be put on the market after July
LIST.
we have seldom known at this season of
the year such indifference on the part OF wool
buyers III regard to taking hold of the new
clip. In Kentucky, while the prices paid
are extremely high as compared with east
ern quotations, there IS yet none of the old
time fever. In the other sections the late
ness OF the season is, to some extent, the
cause OF lack of interest, but the prime
cause OF the extreme caution is that wool
buyers have lost money for several years,
ana there is no disi osition to take hold un-
less small profit on the purchase is as
sured, and every one feels that we have not
ior long time had spring when the fu-
ture offered so little promise for the wool
Spectator as this season. We would sug
gest to the farmers that this is one OF tue
years when honesty is likely to prove the
best policy in putting up wool, and that
unwashed 1t will meet better market.
Tbs gloom of the wooden manufacturers
continues. IL is not an artificial sentiment
to depress the price of the new clip, but is
the result OF Improbable business caused
by over production. The manufacture of
most grades Of goods has outstripped the
legitimate demand, and unless production
is checked the knife will have TO be used
until the weaker concerns are killed off and
the wants OF the country require all the
goods prodrced.
Texas wools.-But few of the new woods
have arrived on the eastern market as vet.
holders views are above the ideas of the
buyers, and scarcely anything has been
sold. Considerable wool has been sold Mt
San Antonio AND Laredo, Texas, at prices
above eastern values, but IN other portions
OF the state the bulk of the woods are still
In growers hands. With the wooden goods
Industries in their present shape, caution
will prove a profitable virtue to exercise in
buying IN Texas this season.
