STAPLE TERRITORY
CHANGING HANDS
At FULL RATES
Wooden Mills Now More Inter
ested in Getting Supply of
Raw Materials Than Wor-
Sted Manufacturers.

There is a fair trade in several Bos-
ton wool houses this week, although
practically all the transactions are
confined to very moderate amounts.
says the Boston Commercial Bulletin.
The wooden mills are probably more
interested in obtaining supplies of raw
material now than are the worsted
manufacturers, for tho latter are quite
satisfactorily stocked on wool for the
near future, while the carded manu-
facturers had neglected to buy wool
in quantity until orders for goods be-
gan to come in actively. Carded
| goods are unquestionably more active
ly sought Than they have been for
years. a condition that is evidenced
by the steady purchases of suitable
wool. The highest qualities of carpet
woods attracted many manufacturers
of woolens, but 1t is understood that
interest is now changing over to the
California stock available in fair guam
tity here.
However, some staple territory wool
is still changing hands at fun rates,
| while clothing territory is moving
| quite steadily TO consumers. The avail
able supply of all territory woods is
comparatively limited, and though a
number of dealers still have some on
hand, there is not enough left to per-
nit transactions of any Importance.
In addition to the lack of sufficient
stocks of territory wool comparative

lines are just beginning to come from
the mills for inspection and purchase,
while lightweight business is nearly
over. When the manufacturers un-
derstand the scope of the heavyweight
demand it is believed that purchases
of raw material will be made here
without any delay.
The outlook is undoubtedly for high
prices Tor some time, and with man
ufacturing conditions satisfactory the
competition of wool consumers VIII
be keen, thus maintaining values. All
the foreign markets present a stiff
front, with no apparent prospect OF
easier prices, European manufactur-
ers are constant users of wool, and
their needs will in all probability be-
