Less Wool Used.

Reports from manufacturers as re-
ceived by the bureau of markets, de-
partment of agriculture, show that
there was less wool used in February
than at any time since such statistics
have been compiled. The February
consumption amounted to 27.5O0,000
pounds in the grease, compared with
63,700O00 pounds in February of last
year. Strikes which shut down mills
and the inability of small mills to Sc
cure wool because the wool sold by
the government at auction was sold
on cash basis, furnished the reason
for the small February consumption.
