| AS was expected would be the case.
the announcement made by The Her.
aid yesterday morning that $4,000
pounds of Utah woods had been sold
in St Louis last week to a Boston
house at 10 cents per pound. worked the
eastern wool buyers who are here in
the territory for the purpose of buy
Ing woods at the very lowest figure pos
slble. even though they have to resort
TO some Misrepresentation in order to
get the market demorahzed enough to
suit their wishes. up to fever heat and
there was no scarcity Of denials. One
st. Louis buyer sent in a communica-
ton last night in which he declared
that the woods sold were Idaho last
years, and closes with the statement
that his house is the largest, best and
safest good shot for free adver-
tisemenO doing business in Utah. The
same gentleman kindly informed The
Herald by wire from Thistle, that the
representative of KoShland & Com
pany. the Boston house which pur-
chased the wool in st. Louis. denied
there, in the presence of several buy
ers, that such purchase had been
made. This paper has no desire to
enter into controversy with the wool
buyers now in the territory. whom
every grower knows are working with
the sole object of bearing the market
all it will stand in order that the pro-
fits of their respective houses may be
all the greater and those of the Sheep
men CORRESPONDENCE lower. but will
leave the fight to the gentlemen and
the Textile Manufacturing Journal OF
New York. an accepted authority on all
matters pertaining to woods or manu-
featuring, which in its issue of April
goth gives the news reproduced by The
Herald yesterday morning. OF course.
the buyers will do all in their power
to convince the growers that they are
martyring themselves in giving the
prices now current for new woods. but
the men Of wool will take their state
ments. as heretofore. with several
grains of salt and get top notch prices
If they can. Every report received
from the eastern markets is of an en-
couraging nature. and the growers
should get some of the benefits of i'm
proved quotations and promises of
further improvements.
Woods Sold in TOoeIe.
The first real good sales Of woods
made in the Tooele county this spring |
took place yesterday. and before they |
were ended W. L. Packard had Sc
cured $4,000 pounds of the clip just re-
moved. Shipment is to be made to this |
city and then on to Boston, the con-
signment going east for Eisemann
Brothers. Several of the growers de-
clined to sell. and will consign their |
woods to the New York and Boston /
markets, through ]. RI. Mcbride, of /
Tooele. They feel confident that their |
interests will be better subserved by |
consignment through a Utah concern, /
than by means of direct sales. There /
were a great many buyers dancing at |
tendance on the growers out in the /
Tooele country yesterday, among |
them several local representatives, and /
it is anticipated that within the next
few days some heavy wool movements /
will be made from that section.
Eisemann Brothers will. today or to- /
send east some 10000 pounds |
Of southern woods. just purchased by |
their agent. Every point in the territory
where shearing is going on is now COW
cred by the buyers. and the competi-
ton, except where combinations have
been formed. is very brisk in all quar-
