generally ten per cent down on the
average from the previous season's
openings.
"In the west, little business has
been done this week. Buyers mostly
are Inclined to operate on the basis
of 35 to 40 cents for fine and fine
medium wools of fair to choice staple,
clean landed Boston.
"The foreign markets have been
rather slow and Inclined In favor of
the buyer.
"Mohair is slow of sale. The farm
board co-operative is understood to
be considering a plan for exporting
its surplus stocks of mohair unless
carpet mills will take the balance at
the recent low prices understood to
have been 5 cents. It appears the
