Wool Sales
 
Close to a Million Pounds Disposed of at Payette
 
Payette Independent:  Payette has been alive with wool buyers for the past two 
weeks and right close to 1,000,000 pounds of wool has changed hands at prices 
averaging 12 cents and a little better.  These sales were made through A. B. 
Moss, president of the Moss Mercantile company, who has the reputation of 
being able to make a wool buyer pay to the last fraction of a cent what a wool 
clip ought to bring when ready for the market.
 
those who have sold for delivery at Payette are:  George V. Leighton, Al 
Wilson, A. L. Ayers, Ayers & Phipps, Brundage & Fisher, Henry Helmick, Thomas 
Harris, Emery Tindall, Mr. Claiborn, Thomas Nipper, Walker Bros, Gooding & Co, 
William Willburn, James Currin, Mr. Butts, Cochrane & Phipps and S. Ottoe.
 
The prices received this season have been very satisfactory to the wool-
growers, as they have been better than the best quotations at present would 
seem to warrant.  and think of the money this single product brings in no less 
than $120,000 for this community alone.
