Wool Racket.

Wool is still flowing in in steady
stream from all points of the compass.
Among other lots which have arrived to-
day we notice Bynum, Bros. & Co., of By
mum; w. H. Black, of Bynum; Charles
w. Gray, of Belleview; E. K. Fitzgerald,
of Okla; Andrew Hay, of Grafton, and
several lots belonging to others whose
names we could not ascertain. About
400 sacks will represent the days receipts.
We hear of many lots on the road from
the Judith and Musselshell, as we'll as
from the Choteau and Dupuyer country,
which will be along in few days. Shear
ing is not by any means finished, many
large focks still being in the hands of the
shearers. A number of large outfits
which have completed shearing have just
commenced to start their clips to market.
Not more than one-half the wool has yet
arrived and the season promises to string
out for several weeks yet
Since last nights reports of sales we
have heard Of the following transactions
which occurred yesterday and last night:
Fred. Warren and w. B. Edgar, to Thos.
Hanlon, for 1735; w. @. Smith to T. Han
lon, 17c.; J. d. Waite to T. Hanlon, 1715c.
The latter figure is the top price yet re-
ported for any clip this season. AS we
surmised last night, prices are surely but
gradually crawling up and we expect to
be able to note sales at Is cents before
the week closes.
1t has become apparent that nearly all
the wool of northern Montana is goingfin-
to the hands of buyers, who are getting
more anxious to secure clips as the sea-
son advances. 1t is known that the wool
of this section is the best is the territory.
It is always clean and light, but this sea-
son it is exceptionally SO, owing to the
long continued rains, which cleared out
all dust and left it brighter and lighter
than ever before. Sheep Wintered we'll,
and the staple is even and strong. Buy
ers and commission men appreciate these
facts, and all of them are anxious to have
some of these superior clips in their lofts;
in fact it is almost necessity to have
them Therefore we predict that every
grower who wants to sell will have an op-
portunity of dong so at advanced figures.
Mr.. Chas. G. Bynum, of Bynum Bros. &
Co., Bynum, came in yesterday evening,
and is feeling the pulse of the wool buy
ers. He has a first class clip which ar
rived to-day.
Mr. Charles w. Gray, of Belleview, and
Mr.. w. FL. Black, of Bynum, are also on
the market with their clips, which are
said to be first class in every respect. We
expect to note the sale of them at top
prices.
Mr.. Benjamin Walker, representing the
well-known and staunch commission
house of Justice, Bateman & Co., Phila-
delphia, has arrived and joined forces
with the local agent, Mr.. Benjamin Web
ster and the pair are making it very in
teresting for those who are hanging on
the ragged edge between shipping and
selling Mr.. Walker says the latest as
pect of the tariff question is that the SEN
ate will strike out the clause putting wool
ON the free list, which will be followed by
decided advance in prices. Mr.. Walker
is first-class debater on the shipping
side Of the question.

The Lit. Medal Avarded-The Coming
 Social Events-The Prom. To. norrOw
 N1ght-Dr. Harper 10 Visit Babylon.
 The general religious meeting in Dwight Hall last evening, at which Prof. Samuel Harris of the theological department deliv- cred an address, was literally attended.
 MT. Robert F. Harper, who has been assist ing his brother, Prof. William Harper, in the Divinity school, is to accompany the expedi- ton sent out by the University of Pennsyl- vania to Babylon next summer.
 Prof. William Harper, who has been deliv- ering course of lectures in Chicago on bib- Heal subjects, resumes his duties with his classes here to-day.
 On Tuesday evening Prof. Knapp reads a paper before the Classical and Pathological society on unpublished journals of George Barron and F. G. Moore on Lucretius and Virgil.
 Dr. Harper speaks on the Arabic and As- syrian schools of Hebrew photography before the Semitic club Wednesday evening.
 Mir. Herbert A. Smith of Worcester, Mass, of the junior class, has been awarded the Lit. medal. MT. Smith is to be doubly congratu- lated, for the medal has not been awarded for the last two years. The fact that no member of either 'S7 or 8S succeeded in gaining the medal must make it's possession particularly pleasing to MT. Smith. The fortunate man is one of the recently elected members of Phi Beta Kappa.
 The guests to the promenade have begun to arrive in town and the influx of visitors to-day will be large one. Several of the visitors attended chapel yesterday, among them the classes of 'S6 and 'S7 were quite strongly represented. Preparations for the great event are rapidly going on at the ar mory and Tuesday evening the great building will be transformed into a veritable fairy land. Considerable adverse criticism is heard anent the ladies' programmes. They are of metal and quite heavy, the design far from delicate, while the leaves containing the dance orders present by no means an impressive appearance. They are novelty, however, and are pleasing in several ways. The events for the present week, Yale's great society week, are as fol lows: Monday evening the concert by the Glee and Banjo clubs and the orchestra at the after which an informal dance at the New Haven House while the sophomores have their german at Loonais'; Tuesday even- ing the great promenade at the armory; We'd nesday evening the senior german at Loomis', the junior german at Alumni hall and prob- ably graduate german at the Atheneum. Several receptions will be given on the campus.
