IT CONTINUES TO ADVANCE.

The Boston Wool Market Reports Mon
tsna Selling ut 20 and ~ Cents.
The report from Boston relative t
the wool market is causing the western
woolgrower to feel as though life hal
some charms left for him. and If 1t con
tinues he will be in clover next year
when he receives from rs to 30 cents
a pound for his product. No one de-
serves this prosperity more than the
Montana woolmen and this paper con.
graduates them on the outlook for next
year.
The Wool and Cotton Reporter Of
November 80, says:
There il no abatement in the excite
ment previously noted in the wool
market. II anything, it is more inten-
sifed. There is a scarcity Of domestic
wool facing the members Of the trade
and manufacturers, and there is quite
a scrambling among the former to Sc
cure the desirable lots that remain.
Many local houses are entirely out of
wool, and are compelled to 90 into the
open market again and again in order
to meet the requirements Of their bust.

too heavily stocked, and they are ready

the supply Of territory in this country

more, and II is hinted that some trans.
actions have been effected at q higher
price than 10 cents. Fine and fine
medium clothing may be quoted at
83@85o., and medium at 56@5So.
Among the sales Of the week were noted
l 200, 900 pounds Of Montana within
the range Of these quotations. Several
houses report that they could have sold

THE ARMY BILL.

A dispatch from Washington says
The Hull bill for the reorganization Of
the army will probably pass the Senate
in much the same shape that it left the
House. 1t has an ingenious provision,
which is misunderstood by many. This
provides for regular army OF $4,000
men, giving the President the discre-
ton OF Increasing it to 100, 600, with
the necessary officers Of the lire and
staff for thai number of soldiers. There
is no provision, as Representative Hay
remarked, to decrease, but there is one
to increase. and as this is az admins.
tration measure, the President will be
sure to bring the army up TO the maxi.
mum allowed bg the Hull measure,
which is we'll known to be the produc;
of Adjutant-General Corbin, of the
War Department. This army will en-.
tail an expense of over SIS, 600, OG0 per
snuum, which, with the proposed IT,
crease of the uavy and other expendi-
lures of our foreign possessions, will
make the continuation of the Dingley
war.reveDue law an absolute necessity.
This heavy burden and the increasing
pension list will be important issues
in the next presidential campaign.
