Wool Notes.

Carroll Free Press: There is very little
wool exchanging hands. The price will
have to go a shade higher than So cents
to catch the bulk of the Carroll county
clip.
Ohio Patriot, New Lisbon: Wool buyers
are thick, but they do not offer prices that
are satisfactory. Thegeneral offer stands
from so to 55 cents per pound. 1t ought
to be 30 and 40 cents. WoOl-growers
must watch the eastern sharks.
Cadiz Republican: So far as we can
learn the farmers of Harrison county will
hold their wool until at least 35 cents is
Foffered. 1t is very safe property to keep
at anything less than that.
Cambridge Herald: Considerable wool
has changed hands here within the past
few days at 31@33c.
The Press says that no clips have been
bought at Freeport above 33 cents. and
that John Stewart, of Londonderry, is
paying 33@35c.
Cambridge Jeffersonian: Thirty-two
cents continues to be the prevailing price
for wool in this market Many of the
small growers have let loose at that figure.
but not many of the larger growers. who
seem to prefer to ship their clips direct to
the manufacturers.
Daily Times, Cambridge, 10th inst:
Michael Crow and several others who
shipped their wool to n. II. Campbell,
Providence, r. l., have got returns. and
all got over 30 cents per pound net.
Lewis Wharton, of Wayne township.
sold his clip OF 14OO pounds to Delting Il
Co., OF Somerton. for 30 cents. The wool
IN that township has been pretty gener-
ally bought up at from 80 to 35 cents.
