Tutt boor, M mutt,,—Many American
wool buyers him been buying all the
Canadian wool they can get, melndiug
some from E. T. Dalton, of the Stratford
mills. They have been the means of ad-
vancing the price, which is Doty tip to
twenty cents a pound. The new olip is
estimated at from four to five lto
pounds, and an attempt is being made
get all of it possible across the border be-
fore the 10th, or at least the 15th, when
it is understood the new duty will take
effect, and prevent the exportation of
Canadian wool into the United States.
Canadian speculators are storing the
wool on the other side, notwithstanding
the feat that American mills are loaded
up with supplies of wool suftieient to last
thein a year or more. Many hundred
thonsand pounds of wool have been ship-
ped to the New England States, and a
couple of million pounds will have been
shipped by the time the new tariff is in
force.
