WOOL MARKET.
Growers Are Holding Back for Higher
Prices

Growers Are Holding Back for Higher
Prices.
Great Falls, July 6.--The wool market
showed no considerable increase to-day
either in the bidding or in the number
of clips offered. A wool grower stated
this afternoon, and he is probably cor
rect. that the growers were delaying
the market as much as possible, having
a strong belief that better prices will
be obtained and the competition strong
er. There is everything to confirm his
opinion, and hardly anything against
1t. Wool Is not arriving here as rapidly
as it should, even when due allowance
is made for the lateness of the season,
and, as outlined in an earlier article,
the grower is more independent this
year than ever before. The big clips
are SO far incomplete, and the owners
refuse to put them up in sections. The
lots which have been sold are small,
and 50 far as vestryman may judge,
not up to the average of the years clip.
The growers are satisfied with the SUI
periority of this market, but they are
waiting for the time to get ripe. w. A.
Hedges of Yale, in Fergus county, said
this morning to the Standard represen-
tative that he had this year divided his
clip, sending a part of 1t to Billings and
the remainder to this market He added
that next year he should send the whole
of his clip to this market, and that must
mean that the price received here was
better than that at Billings, although
there was but a small fraction of cent
difference, that of course, being in ia
vor of this city. The prediction is free
ly made that a week from now prices
will be a cent or more higher than to-
day, and every advice from the East
confirms this prediction. The growers
therefore have good foundation for
holding off their sales.
There were three sales made to-day,
all to the same person, F. w. Thayer,
representing Whitman, Farmsworth G.
Thayer of Boston. All We're at the same
price-171a cents.
Barney & Marsh put up 202 sacks.
weighing $4,000 pounds. One hundred
and forty-eight sacks were ewes
straight, 81 were mixed and the rest
were an assortment of yearlings bucks
and tags. John Andersen had 3S sacks,
weighing 10000 pounds, of which three
sacks were fine bucks and the rest
mixed.
Stauffer & Yunck had 81 sacks,
weighing 10000 pounds, mostly ewes
and yearlings mixed.
1t is probable that there will not be
any active selling until the middle of
next week. While there is a scarcity
Of buyers in town. il is equally true
that the growers are even more bashful
about showing up here, and it is their
absence that is preventing the buyers
from getting in their work.

"A Neapolitan newspaper gives the
following detailed list of the wardrobe

years ago are at length being utilized
by French wine producers. The chief,

dos not injure the bouquet or color of
wine. Nor is beer injured If heated at
the proper time and to the Temperature
required to kill microbes. The idea that
heating will not injure good wine seems
to make slow progress, though demon
strated by Pasteur long ago.

A Dinner in Mexico.

The American Club in Mexico City

said a former resident now in business
in the sister republic. 1T has about
45O members and occupies the whole
Of sumptuously furnished mansion
opposite the historic Iturbide Hotel, on
San Francisco street. The initiation
fee is 500 for regulars and 500
wear dues, but now residents get off
with a $50 initiation fee alone. The
concern Is most admirably managed,
and the cheapness and excellence of its
cuisine Is something really marvellous.
What do you think of a first-class dim
ner for 3ll2 cents? That is the charge
to members, and it may interest club
men in this city to know exactly what
our steward gives us to eat ut such
figure. Here Is a sample dinner card
that happen to have in my pocket:
CucumberS, radiSheS.
Soup-Neal broth, with rice.

COST OF WAR.
Four Dollars To One For Civil Ex-
penses In Taxes.

For the first two months of the new
fiscal year our Government has eX-
pended $1O2, ,969. ,09033. of $21 ,0G6. .4S9.
81 has gone for the support of the civil

all the rest for military expenses Of one
kind or another The army got $34,-

est on the war debt 50, l53, ,S45,3S, a
total on the military side of the ledger
of $40, 100 S45.64, or at the rate of $474,-
359,O13.S4 a year for warlike outgoes,
while the total cost of the civil estab-
lishment was at the annual rate Of
S126, ,39S, ,93S.S6.
At the present tin not quite 80 per
cent. of the expenses Of carrying on
this peaceful country are on account of
wars, past. present and anticipated, but
the ratio is nearer to 80 per cent. than
any other round figure. Is there any
other country, free or despotic, which

As on all its civil expenses put together.

hardly realization of it by the people.
we are becoming the most warlike of
nations, so far, at least, as outlay on
military matters goes.
Moreover the taxes are largely TAX
ing on a new form. They are coming
home to mems business and bosoms
more closely than heretofore. The in

from the beginning of the republic
been the mainstay of the Federal Gov
ernment, are so no longer. For the
first two months of the new fiscal year

Of. According to the authority who
promulgated this statement not more
than five years is required for sue

said to be worth $3SO,OOO; Viola Allen
mas 100000; Julia NARROW, $27O,OOO;
Ada Rehan, $25O,OcO; Lillian Russell,

possess the same amount; Adele
Ritchie has 100000; May Irwin, $780,
Julia Arthur, 100000, and Mrs. Fiske
possesses the same.

Mrs. Carter's earnings practically be-

Julia Arthur has a husband worth

A 'Straight Edge" an Impossibility.

One of the difficult problems in prac.
teal mechanics is to make straight
edge" How difficult 1t is may be
judged from an incident which oc-
cured In the shops of J. A. Brashear,
the astronomical instrument maker. A
customer asked Mr.. BraShear what
would be the price Of "a perfect
straight-edge Of glass thirty-six inches
long" 1T can't be made absolutely
perfect" said Mr.. Brashear, but it
could probably be made with limit
Of error amounting to only fraction
of a wave-lcngth of light" How much
would that cost?' About $4,000" 1t
turned out that the customer wanted
the straight-edgc for scraper, and
that an error of one-sixtyfourth of an
inch would have been insensible for his
purpose.--YOuth's Companion.

A Paris Mystery.

In the cellar of magnificent house
in the Bois de BOulogne, Paris, former
ly occupied by Villemassant, the foun-
der of the Figaro newspaper, there has
lust been found the skeleton of wom-
an. With the remains are stays and
silk scarf. The doctors estimate that
the body has been there 25 years. Viii
lemassant died in 1879. The affair Is
creating a great sensation, as the
house Is one of the most magnificent
In Paris, and nlemassant was the
greatest French journalist who ever
lived. The discovery was due to ! y
demolition of the house.
