MONTANA WOOL.
The yield Of wool in Montana this year will
be exceptionally large and prices better than
they have been in several years. Sheep
rassers are better off financially and are
not pressed by "hard times" and industrial
oppression to let go at any offer the buyer
may see Mt to make. There is "a big diff
ference when man is in a position to be
independent This year the demand for both
mutton and wool is strong and the flock
master on the range who is in no hurry to
sell can get. the full strength of the market
for both. Prosperity in this industry has at
tracted more people to the business, and SO
for a time there will be strong demand
for breeding stock. There will come another
time when it will be overdone. but probably
not for few years.-Drovers Journal
ST. PAUL PRODUCE.
The produce market during the past week

at good price for the season of the
year. The change was in the direction of
strength, SO far as fancy grades are con-
cerned. The receipts were light and there
was considerable draft made upon storage
stocks in order to supply the demand. There
was good demand also for medium grades
and the lower grades were comparatively
steady.
In the list of creameries there was good
call, and the supply seemed to be equal 10
tie demand. The poorer qualities were mod
erately steady. Coming to the ladies and
stock that is used for packing. the demand
is only fair, and OF them the offerings were
not large There is tendency toward a
frmness in price in connection with the pack
ing of this grade of commodity.
Eggs have been in high favor and prices
have been quite firm. There has been a good
retail trade in this line and a considerable
call for shipment, The receipts have been
only moderate.
Inc fruit supply has rarely been excelled
in the st. Paul markets. EVERYTHING that
comes in is good and meets with ready de-
mand. Prices are consequently very low.
but the distribution of fruit of all kinds
during the summer OF 1898 has overtopped
that OF any preceding year, but the business
has been conducted on a very narrow mar
gin of profit.
Green vegetables are in the most complete
