Indications are pointing rather
strongly to business in wool with for
eign interests in American markets be-
fore long. Already there are reports
that Bradford. England, firms are in
quiring regarding supplies on the Pa
cific coast, and it is said to be the in
tention OF the foreigners to purchase
wool on the Pacific coast in compe-
tstion with the Boston. Philadelphia
and New York interests.
With English woolen prices still
considerably above the American par
ity, even though quite liberal advanc-
es have been made here to date this
season, the foreign interests intend to
go after American offerings.
While no confirmed sales are re-
ported as yet to English interests to
date this season. the fact that Brad
ford houses are inquiring leads to the
conclusion that they are very much
interested. This is the first time
known that English interests have
