NEW LIFE TO WOOL GROWERS
Continued From Page One)
cial status, and where such orders
have been given, naturally the mar
ket has not shown signs o strength.
The demand has been of a general
nature during the last few days in
cluding 30me little carpet wool in ad
dition to that sold by the government
at auction recently besides which
ihere has been a good call for me
dium to fine grades, although the call
for Australian wools has been less
pronounced.
There has been a call for terri
tory wools both of short and long
Ftarle. One lot of Oregon tine stap
led wool is reported to have been
yold at a clean basis of about 7 3 cents
i'or fair wool, but of heavy shrink
age. The cost in the grease is un
derstood to have been about 22 to 2 3
cents. Other holders of fine staple
territory are wanting more money
lor their wools, however,, and it
doubtles would be possible to get
well up towards 80 cents clean basis
fr a really choice grade fine stple
Oregon and for rwools of the Mon
tana type 80 to 85 cents.
Wools of the fine and fine medium
description of French combing length
like the new Arizona wools have been
selling at around 70 cents clean bas
is for the better lots, which means
26 to 27 cents in the grease. Some
very short or clothing wools, so call
ed, have been sold on a clean basis
of about 60 to 62 cents.
The call for medium wools has
moved some three-eighths and quarter-blood
wools at about 50 cents
clean basis, for the lower grade wool;
that is the ' three-eighths combing
wools (56s combing) in the last two
weeks, part of which were noted in
the last letter. These wools have
been selling at about 43 to 45 cents,
clean basis, or 27 to 28 cents in the
grease. Scoured wools both fine or
medium have been in moderate de
mand,, as have pulled-wools, also
with prices firm.
There has been rather more buy
ing of the new cilp reported through
the West during the last week also,
especially in Utah and Nevada where
prices are varying from 14 to 18
oents, depending upon the wool, and
in Teias where prices vary from 16
to 21 cents."
These prices mean clean landed
cos's, Boston, or from 50 to 60 cets
for fine and fine medium wools, de
pending upon how good staple they
are. Probably between half and two-
tnirds of the Utah and Nevada wools
have been disposed of either by sale
or consignment. There has been
comparatively little business report
ed in the eastern states; growers and
local dealers refusing to accept for
the moment, at least, the prices !
which are being offered. j
A summary of the reports of over '
1900 manufacturers throughout the
country, showing the active and idle !
wool machinery as of May 2, indi- j
cates a further improvement as com- i
pared with April l of 10 to 15 per
cent generally. The improvement ex
tends almost equally throughout all
branches of the business, including
weavers, spinners, combers and card
ers. The manner in which the bus
iness is "picking up" at the mills is
encouraging.
The recovery of the foreign mar
kets after the withdriAvl of the
American buyers almost wholly, in
consequence of the imminence of the
tariff, has been a matter of no little
surprise to most of those in the trade.
The recovery in the value of for
eign money undoubtedly has had
much to do with the increased buy
ing of wool for European account,
together with the lower rates now
asked for money.
The fact is, however, that values
are being firmly maintained in all
of the foreign primary markets and
the buyers are taking a very substan
tial proportion of the offerings
which are being made. In England
the mills are standing idle for the
most part, due to the coal srike, but
the trade there is optimisic over the
future outlook.
