TOO EAGER TO SELL.


GREAT FALLS, Sept. 7.-Discontent
is uppermost among Northern Mon
tana sheep men over the lamb mar
ket. Some weeks ago eastern buyers,
principally from Illinois, entered the
market, and since that time not q
single eastern market shipment has
gone put of this section. AS a con-
sequence Montana lambs have no
eastern market. With the advent of
the buyers Idaho lambs, which have.
always been considered of an equal
grade, at most, with Montana lambs,
were circulated Of a much better
grade this year than heretofore and
worth more than the Montana crop
for which a local market price aver
aging $1.75 was established.
Notwithstanding the buyers claim
of Idaho superiority, it is a signif-
cant fact, Of which the Montana
growers have just become appraised,
that not an eastern buyer Is at pres
ent doing business in Idaho. The
results of this Is that Idaho lambs
weighing So to 60 pounds are being
shipped to Chicogo, where the Mon
tana prices range from $5.05 to $50
per hundred. The coarse woodlands
of Northern Montana, by competent
judges who have examined the bands
in both states, are heavier and in
better condition than those Of the
sister state, and as a consequence
should bring a trifie more instead Of
about 81 per head less. For feeders
there is a greater demand for the
coarse than any other.
A prominent sheep man, who has
Just returned from the east, in con-
versation with n Standard reporter
today, said:
II was surprised to find when in
Chicago that no Montana lambs
were being shipped by growers.
Commission men informed me that
there was just as good IL market
price awaiting lambs as was estab-
lished for Idaho. There is no truth
in the statement that the Idaho
lambs are in bettercondition than the
Montana crop. If the buyers now
i'm the field here are allowed tocorneI
the crop at $1.75, Montana sheep
men will lose thousands of dollars
which the buyers will make in excess
of the regular and legitimate profit
The freight on Idaho and Montans
shipments is about equal, Montana
lambs are In the best condition and
in greater demand for feeders yet
there is a big difference in price in
favor of the Idaho lamb. The
trouble is that local growers have
got the idea that $1.75 is a good
price and are letting go of theil
lambs without stopping to think
what the eastern price is. There is g
large demand for lambs this year ant
no fear but that markets will con
tinue high in Chicago and other cen
tiers, not taking into consideration
the demand for feeders. My advic,
to all who have lambs to dispose O
is to ascertain what can be obtained
for them in the east deduct the freight
and see what their extra profit will
be. There is no necessity for dispos
ing Of Montana lambs at $1.75 thii
year.
