A local house says of Wool: ““The local ‘Wool market continues without interest. The few buyers here are taking things coolly and do not seem to care whether they do business or not. Secourers complain that they cannot get orders and therefore are buying sparingly. As a matter of fact, there is only one scouring concern here that operates with any degree of Iiberality and for the time being even this firm- lacks the courage to purchase freely even of cheap Wool, and no doubt California Wools are cheap at the present time. Shearing in the San Joaquin-is pretty well over and the Wools as a rule are very defgctive. Only a small share has been placed with scourers and ship- pers.
