WOOL.
WHEELING. TUESDAY, July

MhEhLlNui lOhsDAlt Julg 20
There Is very little life in the wool market, as
compared with the activity which has prevailed
right along this season The cause OF this is that
manufacturers have tried in vain 10 get an al
vance on wooden goods, and the best they can
obtain for their product are last years prices.
As the raw material is now so much higher than
last seasons figures, they hesitate TO lay in sup
plses and are only buying in small lots. expect
Ing lower prices FOR wool later. Whether they
are right or wrong time alone will decide.
The wool dealers have paid the farmers 33 3
cents for most OF the wool, and we doubt If they
can get their money back. There is virtual "
nothing doing in the country now. Buyers Will
be ready TO operate on a lower basis only but
farmers are sdhering to their extreme views.
Prices are virtually nominal. as follows
