EXPORTING TERRITORY WOODS.
Foreign Markets Are Considerably
Stronger Than Those at Home.

Just at present the principal wool
markets of the east are in that condi-
ton which will permit of the exporta-
ton of the woods purchased this season
In the west, most of the shipments go
ing to London, where sales are made
on basis that gives the owners of the
woods 2 profit of in the neighborhood
of 8 cents greater than they can realize
when dfsposing of their holdings in
the United States. The London mar
ket is reported to be very strong and
reshipments of the woods purchased
there during the recent public auctions
are even being made al a considerable
profit Many of the holders of the
domestic staples are holding for ma
terial advance all along the line, but
the schedule of prices remains about
the same as for some time past, where
the consumers of this country are con-
cerned. Here in Utah there are but a
comparatively few thousand pounds of
wool left unsold from the spring clip,
probably less than 100000. This staple
is being held for an advance. No move
has as yet been made looking to fall
shearing.
Regarding the conditions which sur
round the eastern markets, the last is
sue of Bradstreet's Journal has the
following:
The market holds steady for do
nestle WOODS, in sympathy with the
strong tone in Europe About 100000
pounds Montevideo and Buenos Ayres
wool has been bought in Boston to be
shipped to Antwerp and about 500, 900
pounds in New York for the same
purpose. Woods bought at the last
London sales and held in London have
since been sold there at an average of
8 cents per pound profit. While the
foreign market is very strong, the con-
sumption of wool on this side of the
water has been greatly curtailed by
unfavorable trade. The lightweight
season in mems wear woolens has not
been more than one-third to one-half
of an average, owing to the low prices
made for goods by European manu-
facturers The strong prices for wool
abroad has sustained values here to a
considerable extent, and the business
doing is at full quotations. Sales rule
very liberal for the conditions, and
slight concessions in price would in
crease business materially.

both cattle and sheep are to be made
from the western part of Nevada,
growers being satisfied that for the
present at least they can obtain better
results in the east than on the coast.
Some idea of the condition of the
Kansas City market may be CLEANED
from the last bulletin issued by Clay,
Robinson & Co. 1t is as follows:
The receipts of cattle for this month
UP to date are 10000, which is about
$500 more than for the same time in
August The market has been uneven
with lower range of prices. Extra
fancy fed steers hold about steady,
with. very few coming. Dressed beef
steers range from Is to % cents lower
than the 1st of September. There has
been fair supply of western rangers.
They are coming in very good condi-
ton and sell quickly at from 1925 to
1919, according to quality. Cow stuff
holds steady at $3.50 to $3.50 for good
feshy COWS. Extra choice westerns sell
from $2.75 to $780, The feeder market
is 80 to 40 cents lower than the first of
the month except on choice natives
and they hold fairly steady. A good
many western feeders are coming in
now. Good ones sell from $500 to 1925
There is strong demand at 1925 ITO
$3.50 for good. smooth 1200-pound bulls
to go to the feed lots. Veal calves are
selling well from So to $40 each. We
look for steady markets from now on,
as the run of northwest rangers will
commence to fall off.
The receipts of hogs for the month
UP to date are 1000. which is about
1000 less than the same time in Au-
gust The market has been irregular
with downward tendency, and closes
today about 30 cents lower than the
same day last month and 90 to 25 cents
lower than the same time last week
The receipts of sheep for the month
up to date are $4,000, which is about
the same as August The market has
held very steady, and prices are about
at the same point as at the first of the
month. There is a strong demand for
feeding wethers at about $3.50.

Another slice of very rich territory
has been added TO the holdings of the
Mercur Gold Mining and Milling COM
pany, which were previously to this
acquisition valued very conservatively
at several million of dollars-$40,00O 600
is the value placed upon them by c.
L. Dignowity in his report. The new
property is known as the Matte No. 4
group, consisting of the Matte No. 4,
Matte No. and the keystone, all di-
rectly adjoining the NIercur group to
the southwest This group was yester
day purchased by the Mercur company
from Messrs. c. H. Scheu. ]. B. Thomp-
son, w. c. Mcfarland and J. D.. Keller,
the option held by Colonel Wall hav-
ing been previously purchased by the
company. The price paid for the
ground was d cool ZOO and the first
6nstallment has gone to the former
owners. Even with this purchase
money coming out of the treasury of
the company, it is not anticipated that
there will be any interruption Of the
payment of the regular monthly divi-
dendS. On the other hand, there will
be a material increase in these pay
Enents when the final payment is made.
The Matte No. q group is now de-
Neloped with an incline $50 feet in
depth. $50 feet Of which is in ore Of
very high grade. Samples taken from
all parts Of the ore body and tested
by experts gave returns that surprised
even those who imagined themselves
familiar with the properties. Two
crosscuts from the incline, following
the course of the vein, have opened up
some very rich country, and <he show
ing of ore in the Matte alone merited
the purchase by the Mercur people at
the price stated. The company will
undoubtedly receive back many times
the amount paid for the group from
just that small portion of the ground
that has been actually developed. The
remaining claims are said to be as
rich as is the Matte No. 4. The group
is something like 1000 feet from the
workings on the Mercur group proper
and the developments done on it snow
very conclUsively that the entire
stretch of territory is underlaid with
rich ore.
This purchase will result in a num-
her of important improvements being
made. One of the first win be the
extension of the line of the Salt Lake
& Mercur railroad to the new group
and then will follow the equipment of
the incline with the latest improved
machinery. For the purpose of decid-
ing upon the changes for the better,
1fessrs. Dern and Heinrich will go out
to the camp this morning. There will
also be an early increase made in the
capacity Of the mill. which is now
treating $50 tons of ore daily. It is
the intention of the management to
at once commfnce the treatment of
the ores from the new group at the
plant.

Another consignment having been
received yesterday morning, all OF the
machinery and materials for the new
plant of the Citizens Electric Light
company are now on the ground and
there will be no delay in the compile
ton of the entire system and the plac-
ing of it into actual commission. This
is the assurance given to the public
by Charles W. Boettcher. one of the
chief owners of the property, who
came in from Denver on Tuesday after
noon for the purpose of personally at
tending to the details of the commence
ment of operations. He will remain
here until after the company gets
down to a good running basis. The
in place and the workmen in the
employ of the company were yester-
day afternoon engaged in locating and
connecting up the dynamos. On the
outside the system is practically COM
pleted and in shape for the passage
of the currents, all that is necessary
being the making of connections and
perfection of some details. The COM
pany is canvassing for patrons and, &C
cording to the management, is meet
ing with very satisfactory success. No
open cuts are made in the price OF
light and power, but the claim is put
forward that the quality of the light
and power will be very materially
superior to that being furnished by
the old company. This competition
may lead to cutting of rates before
very long and if the usual plan is
followed out, a consolidation should be
effected about the second month of
operation. That was the scheme
worked in. Ogden. The promoters of
the new company assert that they are
here for business pure and simple,
however, and have no idea Of con-
solidation or sale.
OF a conflict between the new electric
light company on the one side and the
old company and the telephone people
on the other, but recently the matter
has quieted down. Those on the inside
say it is but the calm before the storm,
however, and that there is a very
promising likelihood of some interesting
developments following the commence
ment of operations at the plant of the
