others disagree and say the grated

1t is a fact that the loss In trans

should bear this in mind when or

WOOL MARKET
IN BOSTON

The latest from the Boston wool
market is as follows;
Local wool market conditions are
,,n, unsatisfactory. But for the fact
that the goods market is out Of gear
ai,b the manufacturing industry
wool prices would be soaring. Many
rumors are ahoat regarding the lift
inc Of the embargo by the British
government, but those here who have
wool awaiting shipment in England
rorort that they can find no practi'
cal way as yet to get 1t released.
American buyers have been forbid
don to buy wool in New Zealand,
while they are being steadily outbid-
den by English and German buyers
IN South America. Prices are not
much changed, but firmer tone is
being developed for the remaining
unsold stocks.
Everywhere in the wool trade dis
cussion runs on the question of the
embargo and the possibility Of its
being raised. Some excitement was
caused yesterday by a circular from
well known London broker, stat.
ing that the embargo was easing and
that shipments Of fine wool were to
be allowed at once. while crossbreds
we're to be released by the first of
the year. In the face Of definite ca.
Diagrams from New Zealand that
buyers sent out by Boston houses
are not to be allowed to buy any
wool, however, the likelihood Of the
embargo being lifted in England at
an early date is discredited by the
local trade.
Negotiations between London and
Washington over the matter SO far
have only developed the assurance
that fine merino wool may be allow
ed to be shipped direct to such mills,
as furnish satisfactory guarantees
that the same will be at once made
into goods and not resold. This
would appear to tend toward the ELI
mination of the wool dealer. Only
those who were acting as buyers for
some reputable mill would be able to
buy any wool under such a restric.
ton, and then the business would
have to be carried on entirely in the
manufacturers name.
Partial Relief
In one particular relief has come.
II is now denied that the British ad
mlralty has issued an order forbid
ding captains of British ships to &C.
cept shipments of wool for any port
outside the United Kingdom.
Control of the South American mar
ket is being secured by another and
perfectly natural method. Montevi'
deo wool supplies are being bought
up by Germans, and as German infu,
ence Is strong throughout uruguay,
they are able to control its wool clip.
At Buenos Aires, the market appears
to be in the hands OF Bradford buy
ers, who are getting all the best
wools offered at prices American
manufacturers are not willing to
pay

market give the current quotations
