In large measure for the steady and considerable fcuylng of the past two weeks, which is un usual Just prior to a Presidential election, and which. It Is safe to say. would not be indulged In were the stock of wool as large as usual at tnt time-of year. The other controlling fact In the situation which ha consistently made for strong prices during the past few weeks, according to shrewd observers In the .trade, is that manufacturers, spinners and topmaker. have in many case, .old short and have need ot raw material to cover their good. requirements-Barring then, any setback such a. general cancellation, of order, which are unexpecteo by the manufacturer..
