FIFTEEN CENT MARK REACHED
ON A BIG CLIP.
PRICES SLIGHTLY LOWER
Than Those Of Last Friday-Some
Good Sales Though-Other
Sales.

change yesterday was what may be
termed a sumner. There was delay
in getting out samples at the North
ern Pacific warehouse owing to the
failure of the growers to notify the
warehouse management that they de-
sired to place their clips on sale. AS
a consequence there were no sales
at that place during the morning, but
the exchange opened early in the at
/ ternoon and by $50 O'Clock is clips
had been sampled, all but one Of
which were sold. The sampling room
i proved altogether too small and the
was a larger number of growers and
1 spectators in attendance than there
/ has ever been since the market open
ed and considerable interest vas
taken In the sale of every clip. The,
prices for the day with three excep-
lions was a trife lower than those Of
for by reason of the clips being in
ferior.
Owing to the great number of clips
to be placed on sale each day the
/ Northern Pacific has been compelled
to post a notice tt the effect that
growers must give notice to the agent
ceding the day they wish to offer
their wool in order that samples of
& the same may be gotten out of the
cars, and that only II clips can be
offered each day. Long before the
hour specified IN yesterday the num-
i Der of growers had registered for to-
days sales and inside of an hour
later the number was filled for to-
morrow's sales also. The buyers were
unable to get to the Burlington yes
fterday and it is not known whether
they will go there today.
The days sales were the largest
this year, there being a total of 500,-
900 pounds passing from the growers
ito the buyers. The commission men
ARE not in it at all and it is not likely
that they will be as the grower is de-
termined to sell n not take any
chances on consigning.

I5clip of $4,000 pounds, which was Of
