WooI.-The coedilionsof the clip so far received
which Is chiefly San JOaGln aud southward, can
safely be said TO compare iavcbly with any former

Wool is sound, color bright, and s-nkage not to be
objected taxing past seasons INTO
We have carefully Aamined many of these Woods

well, there are some cOnsign that indicate
more careful handling Of Hoeks and invite both al
tention and commentator for their clean appear
ance and unvarying style throughout The clip OF

good display in the clip Of W. l.. Dickinson which,
though not large, is handsome representation
of 10000 lbs. The clip OF the Santa Cruz

from many of the defects that characterize the
Southern clips. James Irvine, Of Los Angeles, for

Northern Wools conspicuous is the Haggin clip

be Of the most uniform clips in the State Many
dealers Of the opinion that hock-masters do
not, as a rule, give the packing and handling of
their Wool the great care and attention that Is
necessary for the reputation OF this interest in
our State. OF course, the character Il the range
has something to 40 with the state Of the fleece
when clipped. Still, there is q belief that some
little care could be exercised by which Wool could
be rendered more free from stubble, dirt, burrs,
and ticks. 1t is a subject that should commend it.
self particularly to growers, the result Of
airy extra attention given to their focks cannot be
otherwise than financially beneficial. Consignmen;s
at several depots present wide difference in the
qualities Of Wool from the district, which it is
believed would not exist to such extent if more
prudence were shown in the management of Sheep
When the time comes that such parcels OF Wool as
specially refer to in this article the rule then
there will also be uniformity of values in place
of the wide variation of prices that has characteriz
