Wool is being bought at prices that buyers be.

week or so. The wool problem is just now e
pretty difficult one. Ofcourse the eastern buyer
will demonstrate to his own satisfaction lhat the
price they offer is the very best that can be affor,
ded, etc. But this mas got to be an old game on
sheep owners, and after so many years expert
ence they may be depended on now to deal with
these men on something like equal terms, Con
gress will probably adjourn notlater than the 18th

the tariff on wool is prOportionally removed, This
disturbing element in the calculations, thus
eliminated, there no good reason why wool
