THE WOOL MARKET

Conditions Continue Favorable
In Boston and a Better Mar

date Future.

Boston, Mass, Aug. 5.-The wool
market is firm and active. Dealers
state that they never have known a
time when the task Of getting woods
east from the places where they have
been bought consumed so much time.
Car shortage n all the other diff
culties incident to transportation are
affecting the incoming of the wool Just
as much as they are affecting all other
industries. On this account much
wool is being sold Ito arrive"
A good, firm undertone is felt ev,
erywhere except on woods grading less
than three-eights. In the past few
years medium woods have been
pushed up to a point out of propor-
ton to the woods of higher grades,
and the reaction which has set in
during the past months has pushed
them back more nearly 10 Il proper
parity.
Expect Better Market.
This season Is not one which would
call ordinarily quite so much for quar-
ter bloods as for finer woods. II may
need only the coming Of another sea-

Territory Woods Improve.
Territory woods have been better

lighter shrink and healthier appear

heavy mortality among sheep are,
however. said TO be reflected some

Texas woods come pretty near being

sales actually have occurred at that
figure, although some bi quantities
changed hands at 80 y cents. All sorts
of reasons are offered for the excel

wool. one big factor Is that in THIS
country we are coming To rely on q
more restricted territory than in EAR

line of wool. Michigan is now pretty
wen out of 1t on the fine washed de-
laine. many breeders having turned
from wool growing to other lines ana
a general disposition to breed for NUT
ton rather than for wool having set
in. Hence the delaine which Michl-
gan grows has been shorter n q
not had the blood and character or
the Ohio woods.
