The outlook for wool is somewhat
better than for many months past. and
farmers in this section are very much
encouraged at the present tone of the
market. A statement was published
in PittsbUrg yesterday to the effect that
a few days ago G. w. CLANCY, a wool
buyer in Washington county for Hork-
heimer Bros, of this city. bought 10000
pounds of wool at Claysville, for which
he paid 20 cents a pound
Inquiry at the Office of HOrkheimer
Bros. yesterday, confirmed the truth of
the statement. 1t was also stated that
a similar quantity of wool was bought
on Tuesday in Eastern Ohio. for which
20 cents per pound was paid. A mem
Der Of the firm admitted that that
amount was being paid for a choice
grade of wool. HOTkheimer Bros quo
tatiOn on fine washed wool on Tuesday
was 19 cents a pound This is a better
price than has been offered for many
months, and is an indication of a
healthy Improvement in the market.
Prospects are good for a still further
advance.
IL will be remembered that under the
Mckinley bill the same quality of wool
which now brings 70 and 20 cents a
Mound. was worth 12 to Il cents Short
ly after the passage Of the Wilson bill.
the price advanced slightly, and later
there was still another advance.
