WOOL IN CALIFORNIA
Moody & Farish report the first arrival of fall wool, embracing 14 bales from Stanislaus county and 20 bales from Tultare county. The condition is fair, and rather better than last year; There is still a large stock of wool on the market, including sumo of tho fall clip of 1874, but it is mostly of low grade character. Really fine grades of spring wool, both California and Oregon, are in fair demand, and a slight concession in prices would soou rid the market of the entire l<-t.- Th»pe high-priced wools are frequently cheaper than tho low priced, on account of less shrinkage in cleaning, The percentage of loss in some clipa is from 50 to (JO per cent., and we have heard of cases where it has run as high as 70 per cent. The preference given to clean wools ought to stimulate more care on the part of producers. The question of shoaring annually, as at the East, instead of semi-annually, iv receiving some attention in difi> rent parts of the State.
