. East is In q most excited condition and
! stirring times are looked for In the
! Western states when the buying sea-
son opens. Everybody In the trade is
, bullish. the growers because they are
practically certain TO get very high
! prices. and the buyers because they
cannot be otherwise.
The contracting movement is begin
ming 20 get little headway In the
West Ii would be booming were
there enough sellers. Buyers stand
ready 20 contract for wool anywhere
In Eastern Oregon. but they are not
able to make any impression yet on
the growers, and may not be able to do
much in this line before shearing time.
unless they offer good deal more
than thoy are talking now. Dealers
would be glad 60 contract for good
medium clips at % cents, such clips as
they bought last year at IL to is
cents. but sheepmen turn deaf ear to
such proposals. While values are so.
ing TO be high this year Il would be
folly TO predict any definite prices.

in an upward direction. under the in
tiuence of a strong export demand and
with stocks at a low ebb. Fourteen
