ship in consignment rather than sell
at prevailing prices Some sales are
being made, of course, but the figures
have been considerably in advance of
any formerly heard and the strictest
silence is maintained as to the exact
quotations made. Shipments of wool
purchased by the buyers within the
past week or ten days are now being
made freely, the holdings having be-
come sufficiently heavy to make wool
trains possible. One of these trains
went out over the Rio Grande Western
