SLUMP IN WOOL.

WHAT SHREWD CBSERVfcRS

DECLARE.

Writing on 29th January the Sydney " special" oi Melbourne Age says :—There are a few points ia conneotkm with the slump in wool worth mentioning. The first is suggested by the report ia one of the journals that during las- week, act more than one quarter oi the offerings I found purchaser*. How this does not re ' present the case fully, for I have seen catalogues in which the salea did not re present a tenth of the offerings. Men in the trade do notrefer tothetiudden change in the measured terms used in ordinary changes of the market. Ihey talk of the thing as a "panic," a "slump," a ' ' collapse,' a " total eclipse." The brokers a d commercial men talk learnedly about the various caves of the Btate of the catastrophe, bu their explanations, clothed in the smooch language of the counting house, are more remarkable for the number ot the alternatives suggested than for the certainty of explanation they contain. They all unite in pointing out the dis crepancy between the supposed cause, a frill (i from 5 to 10 per cent, at the Lon don, January aal s, and thetffecr, by the full of the local biddings, to the extent of many pence hi the pound. Bat though they f peik with the tons>uea of the men of Bradford, and of the angeis of Roubtix they are puzzled to account for the dis crepancy. Neither can they explain the continued absence of ihe American buyer, whose stocks were not last year supposed capable of lasting another 12 mouths. All that the pabuc know about the mat •er is that the American buyer has not Hone what was expected of hitn, bub what he will do presently no one deponent pretends to Bay. Shrewd observers declare that this means chat any moment | there may be a sudden rl-e, tqualiy unaccountable, while the buyers are probably holding their hands ii obedience | to home instruct loss.
