Since the first of the year approx
mately Is per cent of the farm bu-
reau pooled wool has been moved at
conservative values. The importa-
ton of foreign woods has been a bear
ish factor and has prevented any
great activity in domestic woods. How
ever, 100000 pounds have been
sold from the Ohio, Michigan, North
Dakota, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, South Dakota, Indiana and
Kansas wool pools. The prices aver
