BOSTON WOOL MARKET

There has been fair demand from
worsted manufacturers again this
week for woods suitable to their i'm
mediate requirements. The trade has
not been general, few houses, as for
several weeks past, doing the bulk of
the business, which has included
grades chiefly of quarter blood and
finer. Prices for the week have shown
comparatively little change, and the
market here seems nearer to stabiliza-
tion than it has been for some time
past. Reports from the sales in Aus
tralia this week indicate a stronger
tone pervading those markets, with a
rising price tendency in Sydney, where
France continues to be the chief
operator. America is buying with
some freedom in Melbourne, and Eng

REVIEW OF THE ARIZONA
SITUATION In GENERAL

Business conditions in the state held
a fair level in August, most lines
showing improvement over the cor
responding period of last year, and
with the end of summer another up
ward trend is indicated for Septem-
Der.
Cotton ginning, we'll started only in
the Yuma valley thus far, will be in
full swing in few weeks. The crop
is reported in good condition, with an
estimated production of $4,000 bales.
Alfalfa seed harvest has been finished,
with a total production of 4750,000
pounds, and yields of other crops
have been generally satisfactory.
Movement of more than 200 cars Of
Valencia onions is expected from Co
chise county in the next 60 days.
Range conditions have shown fur
ther improvement, and cattle prices
have been maintained we'll Prospects
for fall movement are more favorable
than the spring season, or that of
last fail. Lambs available for fall de-
livery are practically all contracted
at good prices, but the wool market
has continued slow
There have been no important de-
velopments in mining, production be-
ing unchanged and considerable
amount of construction and improve
ment work under way. The copper
market closed August at 1925 to 11A
cents q pound, fractional gain over
the preceding month and more than
Il cent higher than on the same date
of last year.
Steady progress is being made on
the various large construction projects
under way in the state. and building
construction is active in the princi-
pal cities
Banking transactions in the state in
August, as reported to the Arizona
Industrial congress, were generally
below July figures, but in a majority
of cases exceeded those for August,
1924.
/ Condition of both cattle and ranges
over most of the grazing area of the
state showed further improvement
during the last month Additional
precipitation was received in most
sections, and stock is entering the fall
shipping. season in good shape
Fat cattle prices showed a small
u6cllHe uuIiHB GHe luOillIl, Dul neiQ
level considerably above that usually
prevailing ct this time of the year,
while feeder prices are half a cent
pound above those of the same time a
year ago. More activity is reported
in range sales, number Of buyers
being on the ground contracting for
fall delivery All indications are that
fall movement will be more favorable
to the grower than that Of last spring,
or of year ago, though shipments
may be below last year on account of
forced movement in the spring re-
sulting from range conditions at that
time
+, Sheep ranges in the northern part
of the state continue good, with ample
water supplies. Sheep men are turn
ing their attention to the movement
south for the winter, which will start
in six weeks or two months. Most
bands will be moved over trails, and
the Santa Fe has announced the same
return rate as last year for movement
made by rail.
Practically all lambs available for
fall delivery have been contracted,
prices ranging around II cents.
