The local wool market has begun
to liven up some and in a few days
will be on In dead earnest. The num-
Der OF eastern buyers has been aug
mented by the arrival Of several dur
ing the past two or three days,
among them being George H. l..
Sharpe, Of Luce, Manning Il Co, BOs-
ton; Jesse Koshland, Of j. Koshland
4 Co., Boston; and Daniel Dewey,
Jr., of Dewey, Gould & Co., Boston.
Jos. Wing, who has been represent
ing Dewey, Gould x Co. here, will go
to Big Timber, while Mr.. Dewey will
remain in Billings. With the advent
OF these buyers, with more yet to
come, sharp competition IL antici-
pated. They are after wool and, nc
cording to eastern reports. are pre-
pared to pay good prices for what
thew get.

EICHTEEN
CENT Q
Growers Almost Sure to Gain
by Holding for a Price.
Both Eastern and Western Markets
Steadily Strengthen and Twenty
Cent Wool Seems Sure.

The wool situation Ia very encour-
aging for the growers, for tho sheep
may shear a little lighter than last
year, the staple is good and the
fieeces are free from dirt and with less
grease than in some former years.
The market has but fairly opened
In Billings and already l6h cents has
been publicly paid and one clip has
probably brought 10 or better, this
being the JOS. Sims clip which last
year topped the market at 20 cents.
In northern Montana a few sales
have been made at good figures, but
little wool is on the market and the
buying il being done largely by local
representatives. When the crop Is
well started for the market and the
well-known buyers for the great wool
firms have reached the state, predic-
tions as to price will be safer than
now. At present 1t looks like from
l6 to 20 cents and the Boston market
seems to be steadily rising, which
would warrant 20 cents being paid
here upon a speculative basis.
II. c. Power. president OF the Mon
tana WoolgrOwers' association, has
received the best reports yet made.
Things are looking better all the
time" he said. "a sale was made
at Billings yesterday at l6h cents
and another sale of 10000 pounds
was made at something better, | un-
derstand. The highest price paid yet
In the northern part of the state this
season, so far as ! know, was l6h
cents, given to a Choteau county
woolgrower recently. Other sales
have been made at a title lower
figure"
Shearing has but fairly commenced
In Fergus county, and not for at
least three weeks can this county's
clip be said to be on the market,
while doubtless many of the choicest
clips will not reach the railroad be-
fore the latter half of July, and they
are likely to get the best prices, too,
II there be not a decided changein the
tendencies.

both from the number OF clips sold
and the prices received. The prices
In each instance have been very good,
but the buyers refuse to divulge the
same In several cases, not wishing
other growers to know what il be-
ing paid. Fifteen cents has been left
In the shade and it begins to look as
though 16 cents would be the mini
mum, while In some cases it will
probably go as high as 20 cents. The
highest price paid this week wns bet
ter than Is cents, but how much bet
ter we are unable to state, for both
buyer and grower utterly refuse to
make 1t known. The clip was that
of Jos. Sims of Lavina, consisting Of
10000 pounds, and was bought by
j. Koshland & Co. 1t is the same
clip which sold last year for 20 cents
and was purchased by the same firm.
IL Is safe to presume that the price
vas not far from 20 cents this year.
Only a portion of the wool Is In the
city, the remainder still being on the
sleeps backs. Other clips sold are:
Gaines & Hammond, $4,000 pounds
at 16k cents to Dewey, Gould & Co.
Chaplell Bros, $4,000 pounds at l6
cents to Nichols, Dupee & Co.
S. X. Deverill, $1,000 pounds to
Nichols, Dupee & Co. Terms were
private, but the price is thought to
be better than l6 cents.
Newman Bros, $4,000 pounds to j.
Koshland & Co. This wool has been
on the market several days, and al
though neither the buyer nor grower
will reveal the price, better than l6
cents was received for it.

Filtration is Cruel.

"To the credit of the sex be il
said that there is only small p)r-
tion of male flirts, when we accept
the hirt in its general and accepted
meaning" writes Frances Evans,
in her about Men" a.ticle, in the
April Ladies Home Journal. "The
pleasant nothings of social life can
not, correctly speaking, be place j
in the same category AZ Irritation.
No more can the salutntion Of Mike
10 Kate when he says, The top o.
the mornin to yez, me angel dar-
lin: We re the cream o. the milkin' .
the top note o. the lark, simply
because these expressions contra
dict themselves by their openness.
Plainly, there is nothing behind
them. Filtration is ca ried on more
by manner than by speech, manner
being non-commital-something
one cannot place ones finger on.
There is nothing % ilattering as an
unspoken preference for ones soci-
ETY. shown in various ways. This
art Of flattery is the natural weapon
of the ilirt, who rarely expresses
himself openly; therefore his meth
DDS are most insidious and almost
impossible to resist, because intang-
ible. Filtration is crIel, whether
the llirt be man or woman. The
flirt is unkind, selfish and frequent
~ dishonorable. The consequences
Of Irritation gre almost without
exception disastrous; therefore
in considering the moral phases OF
the flirtatious inclination it would
seem best to nip il in the bud, ac-
IcCrding to the suggestions Of the
Golden Rule" "
