ufacturers may venture to buy, they de not feel
willing to pay any advance. The new clip of Cali
iornia wool has been moving quite freely, and
nearly half million lbs have been sold at prices
ranging from 22a5lc. There are large shipments
on the way, and California shippers will lind ready
sales in this market at more satisfactory price,
