New York, May '-'-Mi. The eme In the monej market is ghown by the low rate of interest, whfch is 5@5 per ceut ón government collaterals, with exceptrons ai low as 5i. Thlt is oneeffec: of the largo accirmuiation of money ttre. Aoother Is a mirkeel tendeucy to auother speculative movement in Wall street, all the mark ets to-day belng etronger and higher.

Western dealers have more conflJt'iifc, and as the farmers havesecmed willing toaell U the ndvauced rates, thcy have more money to pay tvilh than dnriug the winter and early spi ing. Raw :otton is dull, with a declino of a fractiou, eelling at 23. Cotton eoods are qulet. The more favorable Hpect of the wheat market for the past few weeks have received a markcd check, prices closing con6iderably bclow Ihose of a weck ngo, although to-dny there Is a favorable reactiou, and prlcos are higher than for the patt two or thrce days. Tho inclications iré favorable for fair prices for the coming erop, though wtr prices must not be expected. The export of wheat thu far the present yenr are nearly louble thosd oí the eamo period iu lfto, and there ís now no apparent reason to anticípate a le?s do mand for the nt'it year. The prospecta for wool are uot as hopeful.

Kelntlvc to the Boston market of last week the Jiiilletin suys : In tho wool market there lias been a fair trfido tluring the past week, but at a low range of prices. Holden re mxiotis to :lose out thclr stocks of olil wool in onler io be preparad to takc hokt of thenew clip, nul henee are offèrlns liberal iiuluccments .o bayers. These intlucements are sulü:lent to infliience the latter to supply their vants freely, In view of the prospect of a ;ootl Fa!l ttiiilc In manufactura! pnxlucts. V.itH liberal supplies of old wool in the lands of actual consuméis, at the clo.so of h) season, tlcre will ie loss necessitr of their gotng luto the prodaciDg regions and COmpeti Dg wit h dealers iu huying up the nevvclip. If the iormcr will takc the seasonecl staple whicli is now offered them alinost at tlieir owd prices, and be content to stand loof while the clip 11 being marketed, tliey will paraas a course very mach to tlieir own ftdv&Dtage, Tliere is old woo! enough present purposes ; and, ivith the Spring clip of California now coming npou the market, to gupply any deticiency In grade, there can be no hurry In secarlos the erop of the West. If consumera and dealers do not rush In and bid agnlnst each other, as lias been tlieir practice in years past, this erop will open at prices which will not lead to dlaappolntmenta and loses at a later periocl of theseason. Some grades of flomestic fleece, particularly comblng, and medium and extra clothing, 'are sold ratlicr close up. But fine doublé extra flecces are In fair supply for the Beason and offer] ng at relatively low prices. These have liitherto been held abovo the views of boyera, but holden havu made up their ininds that there is no chance for Improve inent, in view of the low range of goods prices, and henee are now mectingthe market freely at a furthcr couccsslon. Comblng WOOls are scaree and wanted. Pulled wools are sclling freely and ín large lots, but at prices ruling decidedly iu favor of the buyer. California wool of the spring clip is bezinning to arrive, and some small lots have been sold at good prices. Thls wool is lighter and in better condition than any over before received from that State, and henee is attracting an unusual degrec of attent on from manufneturers. Foreign wools, of the low as w ell as the fine grades, are in liet ter deinand, though prices offered lor tbVlattcr are hardly mitisfactory to Importers. Sales of domestic for the week have been large and foot up over 1,000,000 Ibs at a range of 43@51c for fleece, and 35 @50c for the various grades of pulled. The X. Y. Economist of the 21st says, relative to that market : During the week under review ïhcre has been a fair amount of business done, but at a still further reduction in ratcs, as dealers have made up their mluds to sellat such prices as manufacturers would be wltling to buy at. Tho general txpectatien now is, that wool will be bought at low figures, nnd at low figures it shonld be bought vvcll. A few facts should le kept in view at the present time which may be of some service in the future. It was cnrrently reported in the Fall that the West had boen well clcaned out of tvool. This was assiïned as a reason why dealers should hokl on to their wool ; and beside, the amount of pulled wool would be ïnneh smaller than it was in 1868, than in 1800, because so many slieep had been siaughtered, and henee, that wool would be very scaree. Now, what are the facts in the case? Notwithstanding the tremendous slaughtcr of sheep in 1808, there was no scarcity of wool in 1809 ; that the ([uantity of wool which has been received Kast slnce the lst Of Jannary has been largcr - much l'irger - than doringthe same months of 1869, that the amonnt of pulled wool put upon the market has been, if anythlng, larger than in 1808. The prlcea of goods have been lower tlinn last ycar, everything which conld be said has beensaid and done to keep up prices, but all of 110 avail ; facts have been too stubborn ; the wool continúes to come. In the middle of February tratle dropped, and wc had a few weeks of the dullest oí trade known for a long time, but wool continned to pour into the Eastvrn marJcet. Trade continued dull in March, but still the wool carne in. Through April the samu du)Iness.prevailed ; yet wool continued to come, nnd on the lst of Afay there was more wool in the Kastcrn market than on the lst of February. The nmount of lincee wool, no doubt, was less, but the accumuhuion of pulled was large, and yet mauyofthe fliinnel milis running shor time or but a small amount of their ma chinery. It inay be said that there is now only small amount of wool in the market; bn if the wool is not in the market it is in th milis. The milis are stocking up so tha wo sliall have manufacturera running to tl West to boy wool ; aud dealers ever; whore- it mak.es 110 differente whether Ea: or West - onght to bear in mind that wool is becuning scaree In Pennsylvania in Ohio, in York State, and in Michigan, is rapidly inereasing in Idwb, Kttnsa Nebraska, Minnesota, California, Oregon Texas, Missouri, and every other Souther State; and witli the exception of combln wool and carpet wools it will be found tha we have now a large supply of clothin wools produced Iu the couutry.
