PRICES ARE CLIMBING.
Deseret Live Stock Company Wool
Clip Brought Good Figure.

1t now develops that the sale of the
clip of the Deseret Livestock company
which was made up of a little over
800, 900 pounds of wool. was made at
91s cents, instead of 8 cents dat, as re-
ported by the buyers. This sale was
made last Monday and since that time
several of the eastern people who are
out here for the purpose of gathering
in all of the wool possible, have made
bids in competition which even over
topped that which caught the wool of
the Deseret company In fact, that of
Ludwig Eisemenn, put in at the
Anderson and Clark competition.
which took place at Cokeville, Wyo.,
and which involved 100000 pounds of
wool, was 9.5S. Yet this bid was re-
fused by the owners of the clip and
the latter is going east on consign-
ment, Charlie Andrews having secured
the lot for shipment to Boston. All of
the reports being received from the
east relative to the wool markets there
are of very encouraging nature and
as was stated some time ago would be
the case, prices are advancing. Ter
ritory, which was quoted at 80 cents
secured, the other day is now selling
very readily at SO cents. and there is
an inclination to advance over even
these prices. In view of these patent
facts, the buyers are making better
offers for the remaining woods. and the
competition for the same is becoming
more sharp than before.
Andrews Secured the Wool.
Charles Andrews. of the firm OF
Andrews and company, Nephi, came In
from out on the Short Line yesterday
and asserted that he had captured
over 100000 pounds of wool there on
consignment, among the clips beng
that of Anderson & Clark, 250.OOO
pounds, for which there was sucu d
competition on the first of the week.
The owners were holding for 10 cents
and had made III their minds that Il
that offer was not made they would
consign the entire lot. Gisemann blo
95S, as stated, but the proposition was
rejected. Mr.. Andrews will leave for
Cokeville this morning for the pur-
pose of loading the woods and after
completing his labors there he will 60
on 10 Fossil. where he has in the
neighborhood of $4,000 pounds to re-
handled these same clips and netted
the owners cents. This year he says
he can do considerably better.
Increased Wool Shipments.
The railroads report that the wool
shipments to date have been very
materially heavier than was the case
by this time last year and the well
posted assert that there are not over
100000 pounds of wool remaining I'M
sold in the territory. OF this amount
fully one half is still on the backs of
the sheep ranging in the vicinity of
Mayfield and Manli, while nearly all
of the remainder is to be found around
Coalville. Utah sheep have slheared
fully pound lighter this year tnan
last but the shrinkage will be con-
siderably less and the revenues of the
growers will be very materially in
creased. One prominent woolman
makes the assertion that the total clip
Of the territory will be fully 2,O0O,OOO
pounds lighter than that of last, or
about eleven and a half million
pounds.

quence, Mr.. Armstrong accepted a !
