Defective and Southern spring Wools, also defective fall wools, do not seem to respond. For Nevada and all free choice wools there is an active inquiry and a great deal of wool ‘has been sold. Mostly all of the middle county and Northern wools have been bought up in the country at prices ranging from 10c to 1%2. Choice NeVada can also be quoted at the same price. ‘A great deal of buying on speculation is reported in the Eastern market, especially in Australian and territory wools. There "has been very little buying by manufacturers. Prices are firm and holders of wool have raised asking prices. ‘“The London sales which opened May 2 are reported from 15 to 20 per cent higher on fine wools and they are higher to-day in London than they are in the United States, and a great deal of fine wool has been exported to England and Germany in the last two weeks.” HIDES AND SKINS—Culls and_brands sell about Ic under the quotations.

Last vear a number of large coal consumers changed their machinery and are now utilizing crude oil for fuel, which they claim is more economical and convenient for’ their purposes. Any marked reduction in the price of coal will again find them con- suming coal in preference to oil. No forelgn coals have arrjved this week, in fact, the quan- tity of forelgn at hand so far this year is ex- we may naturally look for increased shipments later in the year, as most of our grain carriers outward will be coal carriers inward.
