EFFECT OF WEATHER on TRADE.
The Autumn Demand Increased During the
Latter Part Of the week-No Change In
Iron-Ths Cotton Crop Conditions Of

the hot weather, which generally pre-,
vailed during sthe first half Of the week
affected unfavorably the tendency to. an
increased distribution OF goods. In spite
OF this, however, the usual autumn de.
mand has had its effect in moderately in.
creased movement. Reports OF the pro.

ape NJ numerous points. Most Of the
New England cotton mills, save those at
Lowell and smaller ones here and there.
which have shut down indefinitely, are
now running. In consequence OF the cur.
tailment of production, prices are better
maintained. Leading New England cot
ton manufacturers still continue good

business, and the predictions given out
are quite contradictory. A large portion

~. wool.
BosroS, September l3.-The Adrertiser
in its weekly review of the wool market
says: The market, considering the oppres-
sively hot weather, for the entire week.
has been very fairly active, and prices nre
steady for those descriptions of wool recop.
nlzet to be most in demand, such rs fine
Wools. The inquiry, toward the close. ia
light; few manufacturers were in the |
market to-day, and the tone is hardly so
strong as week ago, when the INQUIRY
was more brisk. There is, perhaps. mora
pressure on the part of BUYERS to Obtain
concessions, and sales would have been
larger had tioating offers been accepted.
Dealers can certainly find no induceuent
to drop prices. They cannot replace their
present stocks at the prices paid for them.
Within two weeks the wool remaining in
the country has been very generally
marked up, and news from Ohio this
week indicates that prices there are
tull as high as here As the season
advances the scarcity of delaine
becomes more marked, and Us high US 3sc |
has been obtained for lot ofch6ice Ohio
this week. Generally teeces will yield Is
to :? percent delaine, but this year Ohio
wools will give only Is percent, and Mich.
igan 10 per cent. Indeed, it has scarcely
paid IN some instances to sort out the de- |
lame. The demand continues rood ior
M fleece, while on the other hand there
is more x wool unsold than is usual at |
this season. S Some holders of choice XXI
t1ceces look for higher prices il the de- /
.mand continues. The difference between
the prices OF Y and Xxx Ohiois now great |
er than 4 year ago. The demand for me-
dium wools is very limited, and prices |
rule easy for such. Pulled wools are also
in light demand. only lambs super being
Mt all active. Territory woods have more |
recently taken the place Of pulled. and of |
these there is now large supply and at I
wide range OF condition and prices, hence
quotations are difficult to be made. The I
supply OF Texas has been reduced bv re-
cent liberal transactions, but there is am
pie for the demand. -
