Better Than Eighteen Cents Was
Paid Yesterday for the
Jos. Sims Clip.
SIXTEEN THE AVERAGE
One Hundred and Eighty Thousand
Pounds Sold-Buyers Trying
to Keep Prices Private.

1.-THE past few days have been lively
ones in the wool market in Billings,
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 grow
ers to know what is being paid. Fif-
teen cents has been left in the shade
and it beigns to look as though 16 cents
would be the minimum. while in some
cases it will probably 20 as high as 30
cents. The highest price paid this week
was better than IS cents, but how much
better we are unable to state, for both
buyer and grower utterly refuse to
make it known. The clip was that Of
Jos. Sims Of Lavina, consisting Of co.
900 pounds and was bought by j. Kosh-
land & Co. 1t is the same clip which
sold last year for 20 cents and was pur.
chased by the same firm. It is safe to
presume that the price is 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 161a cents to Dewey, Gould & Co.
Chappell Bros. $4,000 pounds at 16
cents to Nichols. Dupee & Co.
S. K. Deverill, $4,000 pounds to
Nichols, Dupee & Go. Terms were
private, but the price is thought to be
better than 16 cents.
Newman Bros. 80, 900 pounds to J.
Koshland & Go. This wool has been
on the market several days and al
though neither the buyer nor grower
will reveal the price, better than 16
cents was received for it.
Morgan Bros. 10000 pounds; Henry
Holling, $4,000 pounds; and Stephen
.Haid, 10000 pounds. to J. G. Fraser
Prices unattainable.
The American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter of yesterday says: The vol mar
ket is stronger and more active. The
buying is broadening and is participat.
ed in by manufacturers, large and
small speculators, traders and exporters.
Foreigners are again in the market and
have looked at some large lines Of wool,
including territories, and it is under
stood have purchased some and at this
writing are negotiating for others.
The demand continues to be for terri
torial woods, nearly 100000 pounds
having changed hands. The country
markets are still excited and many of
the largest and best lots of wool in the
interior have been corralled. Buyers
are lining up in Montana and there
is every indication that there will be a
lively scramble for good clips and very
high prices will have to be paid. The
sales Of the week in Boston announced to
$500, 400 pounds domestic and 1904
900 pounds foreign, making total of
1904, 400 against total of 4,979, 400
for the previous week and 753, 500 for
the corresponding week last year.
Sales since January l, 1899, amount to
