THE WOOL MARKET.
Prominent Dealer Says Conditions
Are Not Altogether satisfactory,

Robert Morris OF the we'll known
firm Of Rowe, Morris, Summerhays Co..
said today that the wool market was
not what It seemed to be several weeks
ago. Then buyers were negotiating for
wool on the sleeps back, making offers
as high as IA cents pound Now,
however they had withdrawn from the
field and as a result wool growers were
receiving few If any offers for the sea-
sons clip, In fact, there was no anXi-
ETY. on the part OF dealers to buy, due
largely to the fact that the eastern
clothing markets were in such state
OF production that they cared very
little whether there was much wool TO
be had or not. This, in the opinion Of
Mr., Morris, would result in lower prices
than had obtained heretofore and the
resutn would be congestion Of the
product at home in the hope that time
would bring about the desired change.
Reports as TO losses, said Mr. Morris,
had been greatly exaggerated and as
far as he was aware the clip this year
would be about equal TO that of pre-
Yious years. The situation in Boston
was not all that could be desired as
the embargo caused by the ruling of
Secy. Wilson on the foot and mouth
disease had stopped all traffic In wool,
thus affecting not only conditions in
the east but conditions throughout the
entire country. However. the matter
was being looked into by a number OF
prominent senators and relief was eX-
pected In the course Of few days.
