WOOL GROWERS ARE IN CLOVER.
Great Outlook for Brisk Demand and
Higher Prices In 1900.

Boston. Dec. 29-The American
Wool & Cotton Reporter estimates the
total supply of wool in the United
States at the close of the year, ex.
elusive of manufacturers holdings. at
l57,S9S,S79 pounds, against 339 .OS3.- :
1853 a year ago. OF this amount
Boston has 66.11s,74s pounds, against
ls,6OS,21S pounds a year ago. includ-
ing wool in bond. Exclusive of wool
IN bond Boston has an available sup
ply of 41,SS7.9 900 pounds, against 1922
OlO179 last year. New York's total
available supply is 25, 200, ,O85 against
S2,O74,69O pounds last year. Philadel
phia has 21,9S1, ,251, against 24,sS4,-
go
Total stocks in the three principal
markets of the United States are
113.295;579 pounds, against 2O4, 1885,
2S2. pounds a year ago.
Sales of wool in Boston during the
year have been 347,lS5,776 pounds,
against 141, ,132.51O pounds in 1898.
Sales in the three principal markets
Of the United States have amounted
to 514,947,920 pounds, against $780,
1865 pounds last year.
The wool clip of the country is
placed at slightly less than 275,0OO,-
900 pounds. against 200,000,O0O last
year. At the beginning of the year
the available supply was about 340.-
100000 pounds. Importations have
been exceptionally small, those at
Boston being only 34,37z,S41 pounds,
against 40,92S,04 last year. The re-
suit is that owing to the phenome-
lnally large demand for wool for con-
cumption, which has swept through
all the principal centers Of the coun-
try, the stock on hand at the close of
tire year has been reduced to COM
paratively low point.
BY far the greater portion of the
wool this year is at seaboard market
A year ago the supply was pretty
evenly divided between the interior
and the seaboard.
AS the year closes the situation is
strong one. No relief practically
been obtained from abroad. There is
a scarcity of fine woods the world
over. foreign markets have been ad-
vancing by leaps and bounds, the Aus
tralian clip, which again shows
material reduction, has been eagerly
bought by anxious users of WOOL the
ILondon markets have steadily advanc
ed and tops on the continent have
risen beyond all expectation. For
eign buyers have been so anxious tc
secure supplies that they have taken
d large portion of the fine Australian
which had been here in bond, and the
beginning of the year 1900. witnesses
a limited supply of foreign clothing
wools here to draw upon.
| While the present demand for WOO
is not as pronounced as 1t was
few months ago, great expectations
are entertained regarding the heavy
weight season, which is about to oper
, stocks are not excessive. The goods
i must be made to supply the demand
and this means large consumption o
wool.
