WOOL.
Local buyers are offering 1915 cents.
Manufacturers have good stocks on hand.
and growers, as a rnle, are not disposed
to sell at the price offered, consequently
comparatively little is being done.
From the Carroll Free Press.
Little wool has been bought since last
Friday-a which time buyers, as we are
informed were "called off if they will
allow us the use of their own expression.
But hundreds and thousands of pounds
were bought at 33l5 cents and great
many clips at 80 cents. Judge Adams in
forms us that he sold his at the latter fig
ures. ID. o. Rutan has purchased over
100000 pounds, ranging from 80 to 30
cents.
From the GAINESVILLE News.
The wool market has been very active
in Muskingum county, and it is estimat
ed that within the past ten days 100000
pounds, or more than one third the clip,
has changed hands. The ruling price has
been 30 to 30 cents per pound, the latter
figure having been reached within the last
few days. The prices paid last year were
% and 27 cents, and in consequence there
has been large decrease in the number
of sheep within the year. The above es-
innate us to the sales was made by a
local wool dealer. 1t was learned that
one of the city banks paid out 100000
last week solely for wool, so that it is safe
to say that the better part of the wool
clip of Muskingum county has changed
hands.
From the CadiZ Republican.
A large amount of wool has been sold
in this county during the past week, the
pIlCO DOlllS SCHCIdlly Dob SCIlIo pOuiiu,
three pounds for a dollar. The wool
market is quite different from what it
was year ago. The wool tariff has not
been changed, it is just the same, but it
has been enforced better since the new
Administration has come into power.
But more than that, there is no threat of
a Mills bill hanging over the country as
there was year ago. In short, we are
living under Republican Administra-
ton.
From the Belaire Tribune.
Mr.. S. p. Workman sold his wool clip
today to Thornberry & Booth at 81 cents
per pound This time last week prices
were higher and some wool changed
hands at 33 cents, but eastern buyers
stopped all purchases because prices in
the East were only one cent above the
prices here.
From the Noble County Republican.
Wool buyers are offering 33 cents for
good wool, and about all unsOld in this |
County will be closed out this week at
that figure.
