HIBFs Asn WOOL.
The wool market throughout the
country Is active and prices are firm.
Eastern Washington wool, while Of
better quality than Puget Sound
brings smaller values, owing to its
sandy nature. Hides are very weak
at quotations, and offerings are liberal.
The san Francisco market j. over
giatted and consequent deterioration
OF prices has resulted. There i n good
demand for heavy steers, but few are
offered.
LUMBER AND COAL.
In our last report reference was
made TO meeting to be held wednes-
day, Dec. 5, by the various mill-owners
in the city. with the object Of arriving
at some agreement on the price OF
lumber. From all that can be ascer-
tanned no representative meeting was
held, and the mills outside the com
bination intend furnishing lumber at
whatever prices will best suit the in
terests OF their business. No cuts arc
anticipated, however, and it Is not
probable that any striking variations
will be made from the quotations fur
nished in our appended list The de
mand is steady for all varieties Of
building lumber. and the cut for the
week, in approximate round numbers,
was .347 90 feet About one-third of
this was dressed lumber The bTigan-
