WOOL, HIDES AND PELTRIES.

A. M. Rowland d Co 8 Boston wool cir
cuar says.
The advices from other markets during
the week report very unsatisfactory state
OF things with few exceptions. AT San
Francisco stocks OF spring wool continue to
accumulate and eastern buyers are return
ing hone, some of them without purchaS-
ing a pound. Some concession has been
made in that market, but prices are still
too high, and purchases could not be made
without q positive loss il resod in eastern
markets. 70 illustrate the experience OF
the year in California wool we would state
that some 100 OOO pounds of last years clip
for which 23c per pound was offered and re-
fused, has been recently sold at lie per
pound, a shrinkage of &c per pound. Other
sales were made ut "a loss, and but few lots
OF last years spring clip sold AZ profit
When holders of wool in San Francisco
compare the prices now and at this time
last year, they forget to consider the results
OF purchases made last year. The stock
now in San Francisco is estimated at abou,
I 900 COO pounds, and last reports quoted a
very dull market. The receipts of new
spring wool have been very small, as yet,
in this market, but there is no demand for
it, The well-known Whitney clip has been
received, aud held at about 35c, but this
price is above the views of buyers. Last
years Whitney clip is still on hand and has
been limited TO prices which at no time
could be realized during the wear. II
should be remembered also that California
wool is not such a favorite with manufac.
turers as II was n year or two ago, and that
sales have been made with difficulty for
some time past, even when other woods
were comp aratively active.
From Texas We learn that prices have
eased oil, but,are still too high.at that point.
and buyers are withdra wing From Mis-
souri, and Georgia the advices report no con-
siderable movement but prices continue TO
be maintained at comparatively high fig
ures. 1t is doubtful ii good lines of Geor.
gian wool would bring more than 2sc per
pound in this market to-day, and some
manufacturers would decline to purchase
even at that price. From Kentucky we
learn that three or four manufacturers are
purchasing, but to what extent we did mo-
learn. The prices paid, however, 1850
higher than dealers could afford to WY =
higher than some OF these ma m ray an '
would pay in eastern markets. W his ia on q
ofthe.contradictions of .no trade for which Trb
no good reason Gu. oe given. WAY ''' "N''''
H.! ne h.ndon sales efs progressing stead
!, n.y. There has been no Important change
since the commencement of the sale. Fol-
choice lots of wool very fair prices have
been obtained, but for defective woods thai
market "a lower We learn of no purchase,
FOR thia side,as the condition of our mark,
has changed materially during the pas
4 three months, and there is no margin now
to send orders abroad.
