A shortage in the wool clip of the
country of "o.OOO.OOO pounds for the year
is estimated by the American Wool and
Cotton Reporter. This compares with a
shortage of 20,000,000 pounds of wool in
JS98. The total supply of wool in the
United States at the close of the year,
exclusive of manufactures holdings,
was 107,398,870 pounds, against 339,
033,858 pounds a year ago.
According to thoclaims of wool dealers
the above is particularly true of Oregon.
T. E. Fell, manager of the Pendleton
woolen and scouring mills, in Bpeaking
on this question to an East Oregonian
reporter, said : "In my opinion there
will be a considerable falling off from
