consigned to George Bach at Utica was
received yesterday. A great deal of
trade with the Judith basin which for
merly came by the way of Billings now
comes by way of Great Falls.

pounds more wool than last year. They
' will retain all that they had last year and
have promises from Il good many wool
s men who never shipped from this point
before. The fact was demonstrated last

have it's effect. The wool this year is
