A short 1905-06 magazine article on the U.S. wool market, which it calls unique because stocks in eastern markets are the smallest the trade has known. It describes manufacturers adulterating woolen fabrics to hold down prices, and a few large Boston houses gaining unusual control of the wool supply. It also explains why wool cannot be cornered like cotton or wheat, since each lot is sold on its own merits, and notes the 1905 purchases of wool on the sheep's back.
