WOOI.-The stock of spring Wool now here is
worked down to so low standard, and we are
so close on the eve of fall clip, more or less OF
which comes forward every day, that spring
| Cali brnia Wool is hardly worth quoting. There
| is, however, considerable unsold Eastern Oregon
| Wool, though it consists chiefly of low grades
and OF TIE shrinliy fine sandy kinds, for which
the demand is very limited. The balance of the
| stock on hand is mainly made up of Indifferent
| lots of long and short California of the poor or
defective kinds, and therefore 40 straight lines
| of good stock could be secured. We hear OF
