Negotiations for the consignment of everal clips of wool are being made by Mr. Willlamson, who hopes to obtain much of the wool crop as far east as Wyoming. "Ilheretofore we have obtained most of our wool from California, Nevada and Arlxona, but this year w are attempt-,n- g to reach out Into other fields. Californias climate Is peculiarly fitted for the manufacture of wool. The air there contains the necessary moisture, which has to be artlflcla ly supplied In Massachusetts We are erecting a mill with capacity of 58,000, 1)00 pounds of wool and we will manufacture wool yarn and tops. - Our warehouse will have a storing capacity of 15,000,000 pounds" The wool is taken on consignment by he coast and standardised company prices paid.

T J. Oldroyd of Provo said yesterday that he had an option on a clip of about 10 000 pounds at 55 cents a pound. Sheepmen urge that If the wool is held out and stored by the owners at central warehouses better prices will be had later. Others have a panicky fee Ing that if they hold their wool they may be left to hold the sack. Members of the con ventlon passed a reso.utlon yesterday urging that the warehouses at Chicago be used for storing purposes until the market for wool Is steady.
