woods from the fleece sections are
| likely to meet with ready sale, and
will command fully as high prices
as have been realized in recent sales
here. Delaine wools are firm-the
very few that are left-at 81 at 80
cents for washed Ohio and 25 cents
for unWashed, while the fine cloth
ing woods are very steady, with some
inquiry reported and some sample
bales going out. Ohio Xxx and
above is quoted nominally at 80 at
81 cents, but it is question whether
any sizeable quantity could be OBJ
tained, if the wool was really de-
sirable, at 80 cents. In Ohio the
washed woods have not been shown
as yet.
Sales of Oregon woods in this mar
ket have amounted to practically
nothing, but in Pendleton and Hepp-
ner the Worsted woods have been
taken quite freely at very good
prices, as before indicated, and at
Shaniko 100000 pounds were sold
on Tuesday at good prices for rath-
er inferior wools-48 at so cents
clean. No. l eastern clothing in
this market commands 48 at so
cents, clean and staple IS at Sc
cents. CALIFORNIA; are still slow,
with no sales reported, excepting
some defective secured, which
brought about IS cents. At Red
Bluff, CAL, some growers were will
ing to take 10 cents, but were not
even offered this sum. The wool
sale advertised to take place at Red
Bluff last week was fizzle. 1t was
more of fizzle than the sale sched-
uled to take place in this city cou-
pie of weeks ago. There were a few
buyers and sellers on hand at Red
Bluff, but not a bale of wool chang
ed hands and there were no offers.
Some of the buyers prior to the
hour of sale talked about offering
from 7 to 10 cents, but the offers
did not materialize. No date was
set for another sale and it will in all
probability remain unannounced.
| Sales OF Texas woods are limited
to about Is, 900 pounds of fall wool,
which changed hands at 43 cents,
secured. Later mail advices from
San Antonio are that approximately
5000, 900 pounds of southwest Texas
eight and twelve months wool are
on the market, but very few sales
have been made.
| While sales of territories have not
been large, consumers have been
looking over the market and ascer-
tanning what lines are available and
what the prospects are for the new
woods. One large Worsted manu-
1 facturer has been a conspicuous
buyer in the state of Oregon, pay
| ing fully so cents, clean, for such
clips as were available for his use,
which has served to set a price at
which, it is believed, the market
will present more stability. There
is better feeling in the market for
territories. and prices are firm at
previous quotations, although sales
are mostly of small lots; but we note
one good sale of 100000 pounds of
. fine Nevada, which was high grade,
splendid wool, at So to SIS cents.

call for three-eighths and half-blood
woods from Worsted manufacturers,
, and among the sales may be men
toned so, 900 pounds of three-eigths
! and $4,000 pounds of half-blood at

have also received some call, one

45 at SIS cents. Some of the new
Utah and Wyoming woods which

last years, but the later shorn woods
