As to what effect the tariff legislation if passed pending at an early date would have on domestic wool markets, ho expressed the firm belief that (ho market for United States wool will b atropg. Tho price of wooL in tho united Stats is not as high as th world market plus th tariff, he said, in other words, American wool is cheaper to tho manufacturer than foreign wool and enough cheaper so a few cento difference to the tariff one way or another will not affect markets for the coming crop. Buying has been for tha time being followingsuspended the usual eon tracts but indications art those who havs held their wool will bo able to sell It for- as much a did those who have contracted. Mr. Hagenberth said that for tho next SO days markets on tho Pacific coast for fat stock, lambs, cattle and would bo strong. On noeount of severe storms the usual California run of fat grass cattle will bo at least I days late. Right now there is an excellent market in California for feeders that have not been sold. he said, adding that h never could see th of intermountain stock betog eoonomy marketed east when, at the asms time.
