Territory Wool

1t is estimated that about q mill
lion pounds OF clothing woods have
changed hands, largely Utah. but In
GLIDING a fair amount Of Idaho, Mon.
tana and other kinds. The demand is
far from active and a good deal OF the
business was negotiated under pres
sure, though there is less Of this fea-'
ture than formerly. A sale Of 100000
pounds fine and fine, medium, largely
Utah wool, is reported at 1911 cents.
The shrinkage is put at !68 per cent,
and the secured cost al. about 81 cents.
Other sales were $4,000 pounds fine
medium Montana at 1871 cents, to
cost SIX cents clean, and 100000
pounds fine. on the basis Of IS cents.
There have also been transfers OF
about $4,000 pounds fine and fine med
ium on the secured basis Of IS to IS
cents, and other sales Of fine on the
basis of SIS to 81 cents and Of fine med
ium at 5 to So cents.
The market still favors buyers on
clothing woods, especially the less de.
sirable kinds. Strictly staple Is close.
ly cleaned up and is more or less nom
inal.
Oregon Wool.
There is not much grease wool left
on the market and what small lots are
here attract little attention from man
~ufacturers. Even staple eastern, Of
which there is a little left, is hard, to
sell. Valley woods are sold out and
secured descriptions nearly 80.
Il Texas Wool.
The demand Is limited to small lots
Of fall which are selling at is cents
upwards. The secured cost Is 48 to
California Wool.
Dull and nominal. In the absence
ssof sales former prices Are quoted, but
they are purely nominal. Still it ii
believed that around 60 cents clean fol
: good northern, S. cents for middle
county, and SO to So cents for south

Secured Wool.
There is fair Inquiry for moderate
quantities, fine selling up to 60 cents
and down to IS cents. A good deal o
fine Is offered at around IS cents
though buyers admit that for choic,
strictly fine they are obliged to pa.
go cents or more. Medium is selling
at 45 to 48 cents. There is some de
