Last January, for the first time since 1903, the country showed a decrease de-crease in" the number of sheep which wore available for the wool clip Th's January shows an Increase over last year's figures of 81,598 aheop. The total wolght of floece produced In 1910, according to census return, was 289,419,977 nouiids, and the tolnl pounds for 1911 are 27G.393.S03 During the first half of the year the wool market continued 'to decline Manufacturers lacked confidence, and purchasers, who usually bought several sev-eral hundred pounds at a time, were r-ontfntiallv in the market picking up a few bags here and a few thousand pounds thero, After July, the market grew firmer, and prices on many grades of wool were advanced. There Is little wool on hand in the wool-growing states, the entlro supply sup-ply being moie nearly exhausted with two or three slight exceptions than it was last year. In 1910, buyers were not disposed to clean up stocks at tho prices which holders were asking, and while some are bUU holding considerable Ohio, Michigan and California wool, dealers hao ' cleaned up the country pretty well. Pulled wools have been In constant demand, although the first part of the year shows a decline In the market mar-ket on these as well as on all others Foreign wools have continued too high to interest American manufacturers manufac-turers in general, and mills which are obliged to use foreign wool have their own men in the foreign market, so that the stock which is paBsod through local dealers Is small Prices at the foreign wool centers have been kept firm, and this is due to primary pri-mary trading. Tho stock of wool on hand in tho Boston market January 1. 1912, was 62,520,123 pounds of domestic do-mestic and 7.059,817 pounds of foreign, for-eign, a total of G9.C39.940 pounds These figures are official, having been furnished by tho Boston Wool Trade association.
