Condition of Richmond's Trade.

Tho Snow-Church Company's weekly
review OF trade says. As noted i'm our
previous reviews Of the wool market.
there was speculative spirit abroad I'm
the eastern markets Of the United States,
affecting more particularly the lustrous
woods, srch as Canada produces by cor
respOndence and by the visits Of special
agents, the Americans cleared out every
available. lot Of native wool from the
Canadian market, the consequence being
an advance of 10 TO % per cent. in prices.
Tub-washed of grades such IA South
down, Shropshire. etc, were neglected.
and now are in the market uEsOld, the
speculative feeling that pervaled other
classes not fHlng warranted in these by
the prices ruling for foreign woods. Speak
ing generally, there is a better feeling
among the woOilen manufacturers, VINO
find they cannot get supplies unless at an
advance in price, and who see that the
foreign manufacturer Is able to get an
Increased price for his products 1t can
safely be said that the advance I'm woods,
taking all classes together, amounts 10 at
lest 10 per cent. The Canadian blanket
manufacturers have found out that they
have made a mistake I'm making contracts
on the basis of last years prices, since
they have TO come into the market and
pay Is per cent more for their wool.
This observation also applies TO manu-
facturers of domestic tWeeds and all
woollen goods. except those made from
cape or Australian woods. which have not
risen TO the same extent. The wholesale
clothing manufacturers recognize this, but
are Keeping out of the market as long
as possible and only buying Tor present
