PRICES STILL ADVANCING.
Some Local Growers Arc Now In
dustriOusIy kicking Themselves.

Still the price of wool continues to
advance all along the line anp those
growers who sold early in the season
arc now wishing that they had
watched the signs of the times more
closely. or needed the advice continu-
ally given by The Herald. and held
onto their clips for short time Had
they done so their revenues would
have been materially increased.
Where sales We're made at the opening
OF the season at prices which ranged
from 5$4 cents to Z cents. offers of from
. TO gig cents are now being freely
made and there is little or no wool to
come out. From the first movement
this paper has untiringIy advocated
the holding of wool for higher prices
and 1t has done so on the advice of
several OF the ShrewdeSt gentlemen
VINO are interested in the wool bust
ness. These gentlemen foresaw what
was coming and they prepared to take
advantage of their knowledge YET
they were willing that others should
also receive some of the benefits. Sew
eral of the heavier growers accepted
the ADVICE given and as a result they
secured top notch prices, or what
were considered the top notch prices
OF the season at the time of the sales,
YET Which afterwards proved to be
oeioW the ultimate range of the mar
ket. There are rumors of an attemnt
being made by the buyers to corner
ana hold the American wool markets
ana this attempt is said to be respon-
s1ple for the great jumps prices have
taken. BE that as it may, the
growers OF the west are reaping the
benefits, where they had the foresight
to heed good counsel, and it matters
little to them whether or not the
eastern people are paying too highly
for their whistle.
The buyers are acting under the
most strict instructions and they are
well aware of the prospects for the
future. 1t is hardly likely that they
would pay prices which are not justi-
ned by the conditions which exist in
the east There a marked IMPROVE
ment is reported almost daily and the
sales of wool, both old and new, dur
ing the past week smashed all previ-
Gus records. What is better still. the
manufacturers are mixing the Ameri-
can and imported staple freely and
thereby adding to the consumption of
wool and giving the consumers far
better cloth than formerly.
In this neighborhood the wool
season has practically ended for this
year. There are a few small clips
which will come sliding in, but the
great movements have closed. John
Hutton came in from eastern Nevada
yesterday. He and his partner, Will
liam McCurdy, are ranging their
f1ocks in that district and the other
day they sold their entire clip, 10000
pounds. to H. Cohn & Co., of this city
for cents per pound. The gentlemen
were evidently not posted on the con-
dition of the market or they could
have commanded higher figures. Upon
his arrival here from Toana, where
he delivered the wool Mr.. Hutton re-
ceived an offer of 9 cents for their
clip, but the sale was closed. Mr..

Ii is the intention of the Wasatka
Mineral Water company to commence
operations at the new bottling works,
located north of the Warm Springs,
on Monday morning, all of the ma
dhinery being now practically in place
and ready for operation. There are,
of course. the finishing touches to put
on and then the plant should be ready
for its work. When in condition for
operation these works will be very
complete and they should be able to
take care of the business of the COM
pany for some time to come. although
the trade is increasing very materially.
All of the heavy machinery is new,
having been sent out from Chicago,
and tine company will be able to place
its product before the public in SPLEEN
did shape.
Considerable interest is being taken
in the affairs of the company by local
men of means and recently some good
sales of the stock have been made.
one of the heaviest purchasers is w.
:. Hedges. who has secured 1880
shares within tine past few weeks. In
view of the fact that the business of
the company is increasing continually
1t IS looked upon as paying invest
ment and such q condition of affairs
always finds investors not far away.
There is said to be a constantly in
creasing demand for the waters and
have even been made across
the Atlantic. The springs of this COM
pany are just north of the Warm
Springs and just now the bottling of
the company is being done at the
works of the Salt Lake Soda Water

from the springs in barrels.

Cohn made the purchase without in
speeding the clip and McCurdy and
Hutton closed with him in hurry.
with the idea that they were getting
a pretty good figure for their wool.
1t did not improve Mr.. Huttons frame
of mind yesterday when he was told
that the common woods of Montana
are now selling at prices ranging
from IL cents to II cents. The COM
petition in the north is now very
brisk and practically all of the east
ern buyers are there endeavoring to
get their work in on the last woods to
go upon the market. At Billings 634,-
600 pounds were sold on Wednesday
to various buyers, the lowest price
paid being 1012 cents and the highest
on this lot il cents. The sales at
Great Falls were just as lively and
100000 pounds were sold on the same
day at an average price of IL cents.
All of this wool was of about the
same staple as are tie Utah woods
this year. The shipments from Bill
lings during the past week have been
over 100000 pounds of wool.

SEASON MUCH EARLIER.
Operations at the Sugar Factory.
Scheduled For September LIST.

If there are no unforeseen delays, the
seasons run at the factory of the
Utah Sugar company will commence
this year shortly after the list of
the month of September, not later
than the 5th. The beets are not less
than three weeks ahead of their condi
ton at this time last year and as the
harvesting of the crop is the only
thing that ever causes delay the re-
mOval of last years lateness will
enable the company to get down to
real work in the neighborhood of
month sooner than was the case in
1894. Throughout the entire sugar
beet district the crop never looked as
well in the history of the industry in
Utah at this time of the season as at
present and everything points to an
extremely heavy yield of the tubers.
Then again, there has undoubtedly
been an improvement in the quality
of the beets and this will prove adj
vantageous to the company and the
farmers alike
General Manager Cutler of the COM
pany was in the city yesterday and
stated that the outlook for the sugar
industry in this territory for the pres
emf season is highly flattering. Beets
never looked as well and it is now

adopted, let the consequences be what
they may. Both of the questions were
passed upon, and the offending mem

the rules, or. at least, what was con-
strued to be a. violation of those rules
The votes upon the issues were forci-
