WOOL.

BosroN, April 21.-The Adrertiser in lis
weekly review Of the wool market says:
The market is so dull that it is extremely
difficult to give quotations that arereliable.
The demand is so sluggish and Indifferent
that sales are made at what tho holder
thinks is below the intrinsic value OF the
wool. II there is any pressure to sell, the
buyer takes advantage OF 1t to obtain con.
cessions, but the choicer lots OF desirable
woods have been gradually taken up, 80
that few remain, and what Is now on hand
consists OF small odd lots, with, oil course,
some exceptions. The absence OF pur.
chasing demand makes prices almost nomi.
nal, but some dealers are very much indif.
ferent to selling than week ago. Not that
they entertain the opinion that wool is go.
ing to improve just at present, but they
see that the chances are they will not be
able to replace wool at the prices they are
now selling. Stecks, toe, with many deal.
ers are becoming reduced, 80 that selections
are not readily made. The country is still
maintaining strong prices, in many cases
actually above the selling prices here, with.
out freight or expenses added. And,
as for the new clips, they promise
to open at prices that prevent any trans.
actions. This Is already seen in California
and Texas, where prices are much
higher than this market warrants. Indeed,
this Is the cheapest market to buy in, but
II manufacturers are cognizant of this fact
they maintain an outward indifference,
and buy only for their most pressing wants.
Dealers view this, in some instances, with
a display Of equal indifference lit Is doubt.
ful which is the more real OF the two, and
talk with some assurance Of the stocks Of
wool OF manufacturers that are becoming
gradually reduced that must be replenished
before new feeces come, and they look for
the customary active demand. with ad.
vancing prices in June. Meanwhile, we
feel we risk nothing in the opinion that the
goods market holds the key to the situa.
ton; that the goods must sell better before
manufacturers will be eager to buy wool;
that woollen mills must be run on full time
instead OF, in many instances, on half or
two.thirds time, Its, however, noticeable
that there has been much more looking
round this week; more manufactures have
been In the market, but actual sales have,
nevertheless, been less than week ago.

slon In the Irsa Trade Generally.

NEw YoRK, April 2l.-The dispatches tc
Bradstreds this week from the principal
business centers Of the country indicate a
moderate improvement in the general
trade situation. Wheat has advanced be.
tween and &c. per bushel in the last
week under the influence OF unfavorable
crop reports, especially from California.
These latter have since been contradicted,
but the effect on the foreign markets was
reflected on the American markets in the
latter part OF the week and prevented the
decline. Corn has advanced &c. during
the week, partly in sympathy with the
advance in wheat, and partly on account
OF the diminishing receipts at the principal
western points.
Ocean ireights are low, and petroleum
tonnage is the only variety particularly in
request.
States reported during the past week, z
more. than the preceding week, "a more
than the corresponding week Of 1882, and
73 more than the same week Of 1881.
IRON.
Instead Of reporting merely no improve
ment in the iron market this week, It re-
mains to be said that it is rather more de-
pressed. The pig iron furnaces are begin
ming to stock up. This, at the present
time, with buyers practically out Of the
market, or, when buying, taking a months
supply only, is very unsatisfactory. 1t
will not be surprising to learn OF number
OF furnaces blowing out within short
time. II is no secret that some OF them
cannot operate to the same advantage as
Others, owing 10 want OF latest improved
methods OF manufacture and other causes,
and several agencies Of Pennsylvania fur

OF American pig continue to be $24 for
No. /, and S22 for No. 2. 1t would
be nearer the facts II quotations were
made ut SCI 50a22 90, and S23 50a24 90. It
is currently rumored that there will be an
early cut in prevailing figures for good
American brands. Scotch pig Is coming
here in decreased quantities. About 1000
tons have arrived during the week, aeon.
siderable proportion OF which has been
stored. Sales are OF course correspondipgly
diminished. Prices Of Scotch pig for i'm.
mediate delivery are higher than for three
weeks hence. Coltness, for instance, can
be obtained for S2475 only for spot deliv.
cry, but for delivery three weeks ahead
$24 so is quoted. Manufactured iron is
dull, aud very little is doing. Steel rails
are quoted at S3s 0Oa90 90 for ordinary
weights at tho mill. The labor problem
with the iron mills has not been solved.
