gan TO sell their sheep, the total number
OF the focks decreasing by nearly $4,000
within a year. The value of each sheep
also decreasing by 81 a head between the
years 1898 and 1895.

trous effects of free trade in wool and
Immediately set about to recover their

1897, and the LIST day of the present year
the sheep hocks Of Colorado have increas-
ed by 714,0co. and their value by upwards
