Wool Price Outlook From Boston Associations Warns Higher Costs
A wartime style wool census from the Boston Wool Trade Association and allied bodies warns prices may rise as U S stocks top 300 million pounds on August 8 1932 and consumption trends differ from 1927–31. The report notes low current prices and husbanding of supply, urging buyers and growers to adjust to anticipated higher prices and a tighter market. SAN ANGELO reports ongoing wool sales with mixed lots and peak bids around 12 cents per pound amid buyers from Christoval and Eise Brothers involvement.
