WOOL BUYERS
ARE DEFIANT 7
NO ALARM OVER
oMAHA's GROWING TRADE.
Idaho Buyer Says All Efforts to Wres,
Bcston's Prestige as a Wool Market
From Her Will Prove IneffectuaI-
other Cities Have Tried This In
Vain.

The following defiant interview
from an Idaho wool buyer concerning
the wool situation this spring, show
the confidence which the buyers seen
to have in their low price comblna
tlon, which threatens disaster to tn,
sheep interests OF the west The
Boise Capital News says:
]. NJ. Johnson, the well known loca
wool buyer, when seen this morning
gave out some interesting information
on the wool situation. He stated that
Bston wool merchants are not worry
ing over the prospects OF Omaha be-
coming the center OF the trade In the
United States for the wool clip OF
Idaho. Utah, Montana, oregon. and
other western states.
The project OF erecting large ware
houses in Omaha capable Of holding a
good percentage OF the American clip
until eastern wool merchants or man.
ufacturers get ready to buy It at a
price virtually dictated by the grow
ers is not looked upon seriously.
Mr.. Johnson stated that the idea Is
by no means a new one, II having been
previously advocated In the west and
the east, and all attempts Of the kind
have turned out failures. The most
successful combination was made
years ago In Boston. when several
large flockmasters in Utah organized
an association, rented large ware
house at Boston and sent on their own
representative to handle that end of
the business.
The association lasted but two years.
This. and the similar plan to hold
auction sales of the clip periodically
in New York. Philadelphia or Boston.
died a natural death after arousing
considerable enthusiasm among the
growers.
whether or not the sheepmen of
the west will combine this year and
hold their wool until 1t reaches the
prices demanded remains to be seen,"
said Mr.. johnson. "If the wool is con-
centrated at one place in the west the
sheepmen will only relieve the eastern
buyers from carrying the wool until
the market is favorable, as they have
done in the past.
THE manufacturers are only ready
to purchase wool at times when 1t Is
needed and II must be held until that
time, usually by the eastern buyer. II
the sheepmen consolidate and erect
warehouses at Omaha to store all OF
this years clip they will only relieve
the buyers of the east from carrying
II themselves"
From information gained from Mr..
Johnson. II was learned that he had
visited n number of the sheep camps
In Idaho. including those about Cald-
well and Mountain Home. He stated
this morning that he was very favor
ably impressed although little could
be said at this time about the quality
of the wool, as the larger share re-
mains to be clipped. He thinks that
the quality will be about the same
as that produced last year.
