' "In February the government fixed the pnee cf all wools it then owned, which consisted of mr.e-tenths i;( the wool in tho Vr.ited ?t.t s. at the s-inv rru-t as Gre.it Britain had fixed Lrr wools. It w.'l undert-xxxl that Cre.u Britain t-"oU Over the entire wool chp of Australia and New Zealand for the tl'.iiation of ;ho war and one ear thereafter, so tenia y Great Britain holds the bulk o; tho world's woo! on which sho has fixed tho sajne prior ms that at which our government is sell-lr.s sell-lr.s its supply. "urt-nt Britain decided to sell Its wvol t public aot:cn and the fir.-t of tho series se-ries or" auction sales was held in liidon ArrJ ?. At that s-aU her .wilf-blood end fir.e Merino woois !d at jiboi-1 K per cent ahove the minimum price the government gov-ernment had fixed.

At the last auo'.ion m Bcs:on of domestic wcol the bidu;:;s w;ls very active and all wools sold at prices above the government m:mmum. Little Shearing- in West. "In the western states little shearing rss been done txcept in AVashir.g'on and Amor.a. In Arizona the r hearing has been more than half coirpleted and pric-lieaHy pric-lieaHy all i.ie wool sh.orn has been sold at prices rnneirg- from t0 to 63 cents per pound. This price, of ccurse. is for woo! delivered in Boston, so the grower pys the commission and freight, aino:ntui to a bo n 55 cents pvr pound. The Arizona Ari-zona wools netted the growers from cij to OS cents per pound. "AH Arirona wool was sold on receint of 100-pound samples sent to Boston, in ot-Lrr western st:.us on-ly one salt? has been -race. It is reported that J. G. ; Taylor of Nevada has contracted his wool 1 to the Union Wool company of Boston at I '" cents, It is rt ported to be a clip of I heay, f.r.e wool. 1 Best Ever Shorn. j "Representatives cf Boston wool concerns con-cerns came into he west during the past ; week and the buyers are fteling- around j to see where the growers stand on prices, I will not be surprised to see buvlrig com-rr:enre com-rr:enre within the next few cays. 'TJ? forthcoming clip will be the best . ever. shorn in the west. It wiil not be j as. Large as last year, for we have not as many sheep as we had before. The wool, however, is well grown, strong m fiber and light in shrinkage and should ' bring good prices. I estimate that the ' prices will range from -O cents to bo ' cent'." . |
