WOOL BUYERS
SHUN THE west

There can be no question but that |
losses to dealers in wool are sub
stantial at the present range OF prices
and there seems a general purpose 10
keep away from tn west until prices
have readjusted themselves there to
basis where wool can be bought
and shipped to Boston and sold for
respectable margin of profit, COM
ments the Wool and Cotton Reporter.
Price ideas of the new Arizona clip
are somewhat different at the present
time than a year ago, when buyers
were eager for the wool and compe-
tition was spirited. At the present
time there is no interest whatever IN
the Arizona clip. Offers are made In
half-hearted way, at 15c.perID,a
reduction of and 7c. per 10 from
last year, and, as might be expected,
the growers ideas are not yet down
to the level Of 15c.
Consignments are the result OF
such a condition and in our judg-
ment wool will make up the bulk OF
the trading in the 1908 clip. There
is plenty of money available at nor
NAL rates and reasonable advances
will be made on wool consigned. The
outlook for reasonable prices for the
consigned wool is good, so far as we
can see, as the wool year will close
| in June with very little old wool on
hand, but to get rid of it the sac
rifice has been such that dealers vii
be very unwise to try to bid up prices
for direct purchasing.
Manufacturers will probably oper
ate much less extensively in the ives
than they did year ago. They sa!
there has not been time during tn
, past four months when the could no
have replaced their original pur
chases at less than the first cost, t
, say nothing of carrying charges. l
3 | is the general Opinion that this yea
r the carrying burden will be shifte
a upon the grower unless a price bas'
? prevails that positively insures res
a sonable profits.

POTOSIA Mine
SHOWING UP

w. E. Sommercamp of Weiser was
in Caldwell yesterday. Mr.. Sommsr-
camp is the secretary and treasurer
of the Potasia mining company locat-
ed at Silver City. In speaking of the
conditions of the mine he said that
they had the ledge in the 800 foot
level and the values were much high
err than in the 200 foot level. The
vein of the Potasia extends diago-
nally under some of the principal
buildings in Silver and judging from
the present conditions at the mine, 1t
will soon be one of the big producers
of the famous camp. Work on the
erection of a mill will commence as
soon as the snow will permit and 1t
is believed that the stamp will be
dropping by the middle of July.

transfers of fine and fine medium
Montana are reported at 60 to 81 |
cents, with recent takings of the |
same grades in Idaho wool on the |
basis of STU cents and of Utah fine |
medium at SIS cents. 1t is asserted |
by certain holders that no good terri |
tory wool can be bought at lower
cost than SIS cents, and from that up
to so cents. Fine staple is in class
by itself and will bring, it is said,
IS to 6S cents.
All sorts of prices for clothing wool
are heard of, the variance, even on
the high side, being sharp as noted
above. On the low end of prices,
sales are reported on the secured
basis of So to So cents for fine, the
quantity or the grease prices not be-
ing made public. Several buyers are
said to be waiting till the market
touches so cents, and have openly
boosted that they will soon be able to
operate on that basis. Extremely
low bids, even for these times, have
been submitted during the week.
| Bearishness May go Too Far.
That buyers are bearish is natural
but it is believed that the tendency
may be carried too far and that al
ready the downward course of wool
values is having no little influence on
cloth buyers. Several wool dealers
would like to see prices go lower for
the sake of the effect on Western
wool growers. A weak and declining
; market in Boston can be used as 6
club to bear down the price of the
new clip. Reports from large pro
ducing sections show that in mos
, states the winter has been favorable
for flocks and that, Notwithstanding
