James Kershaw, representing the wool
house of Nichols, Dupee & &c of Boston,
who reached here yesterday, does not
anticipate much buying for a time at
least. He has just come from Casper,
Wyo., where he was stationed during the
wool season in that state. He says all
the purchasing was very light, the high
est price paid being about Is 1-2 cents,
but that the average was Is 1-2 cents.
Most of the clips bought were taken by
the small houses Mr.. Kershaw is here
for business, but his house is not anx-
ious that he shoul buy very heavily nor
a very high prices. There are but few
wool men here as yet, and Mr.. Kershaw
Is the only buyer to arrive SO far, al
though others are expected his week. 1t
Is thought the market will open in earn
est next week. Large clips of wool are
arriving daily and sveral completed
ones are already in the warehouses.
