Wheeling.

TUESDAY, May 1.
The wool market is demoralized, and
prices that seemed low fortnight ago are
now considered high. There are no bright
prospects for the immediate future, aud il
looks as if the years clip will be marketed
for less price than for IN any years. Good
Xxx fine woods are begging customers in
the Eastern markets at % to 80 cents.
This leaves the price TO be paid in the
country still lower. The season for the
purchase of medium uuwashed woods is
close at hand, and from all Appearances the
price to the grower for them will be about
20 cents.
