the state as being in excellent shape.
From Sundays Daily Gazette.
The opening and closing of yester-
days wool market had the effect uf
carsing the growers to lcok up,n it
With a sort of an %ill-feeling and un-
less it shows up better during the
next few days there will, most likely,
be a great change of heart regarding
the matter of consignments.
The market was decidedly of, not
only as to prices, but also as to bid
ding, only three or four buyers were
in the market. Just where the diff
ficulty comes in as the latter
can only be explained by reason of
the buyers having received word to
hold off for a few days.
So far there have been few con
signments, but talk is nov turning
that way, while some Of the largest
growers whose wool comes to this
market are seriously considering the
proposition of holding their clips for
a time as they have faith that the
market will strengthen later.
Only two clips brought anything
like reasonable prices yesterday. In
the first instance only 1885 cents raj
paid while in the other the IA cent
mark was reached. The other sales
did not even reach the 10 cent point
and there is little wonder the growers
in several instances did not care to
sell their product. Out of 16 clips
offered but II were sold.
The days sales opened at the Bur.
lington at $3.50 a. m. and held until
IL. At 3 o'clock the buyers went to
the Northern Pacific where they re-
NAMED for only about an hour, there
being but six clips opened. The days
offerings aggregated 100000 pounds,
but the sales amounted to only 278,-
900 pounds, the remainder being with
held by the growers owing to the low
prices offered.

miah Williams & Co.
