part OF scourers and dealers There has been more
less of all quotable California Wools sold here
during the week at prices within range of quota
tions. Buyers are very careful, however, to take
only limited quantities. and therefore stocks,
though lighter than In any former month OF May,
only being reduced slowly. We don't hope for
any improved conditions at an early date, and
therefore when buyers can be found they get the
