900 pounds Of wool. The greatest amount
for any n day was 81, 1000 pounds. The
shearing is all done and estimates now
place the increase over the clip of last year
at about 50 per cent, the amount shipped
from Pierre last year being 200, 900 pounds,
while this year it will 60 nearly, if not
quite, 100000. Very little wool is being
sold. and it can be shipped and stored and
an advance secured upon it. This method
gives the wool grower the advantage of
any future rise in the price, and they are
taking advantage of it.
