The price offered and accepted by the man agers of the pool was 64% cents for staple wool and 50% cents per pound for lamb wool, f.o.b. the nearest shipping point. This is at least six cents more per pound than the price being paid fo r wool from any other section of the Western states and is lim ited to C urry county wool, no outside wool being accepted at these prices. : The sale involves from 100,000 to 150,000 pounds of wool, and the entire quantity is to be manu factured into special yarns by the Oregon Worsted mills, the Curry county product being the only wool obtainable in the United States suitable fo r this special purpose, as it is of a long and strong staple w ith slight shrinking quality. The buyer stated that the only wool obtainable in the world of like quality is that from Brisbane, Aus tralia.
