THE FLOUR MARKET
KuLERs HOLDING FIRM-A FAIR DEMAND
-..'. - REPORTED ....

The market was reported unchanged
again this morning. The millers had not
reduced prices yesterday; and to-day
with recovery in wheat, were even less
inclined to reduce them. The fact that
miliers were out Of the cash market
started the report that flour business was
dull, that the millers could not sell their
product proftably at the present basis Of
supply Of raw material, and that the
mills would shut down in part. This
could not be verified, however, and to
noon millers reported the market firm
and fair demand for flour.

MONTANA's WOOL CLIP
THE PREVAILING PRICE SEEMS TO BE l7Ke
PER POUND, THE MAXIMUM. lis

Helena Mont. July 14.-The highest price Of
the year for wool has been 171ac, and this was
reached at Great Falls when Coffey & Wallen-
stein, of Teton county, disposed of their 81, OO0-
pound g,ld clip to Hartley Brothers, of Boston.
The quality of the wool being offered this
year so far is hardly up to standard with the
result that the prices are little below those
OF last year. But no great amount has as yet
changed hands, and no real criterion is to be
had as to the average quality quantity, altho
both buyers and sellers express the opinion that
and, on the whole, the quality will be up to the
average =
The largest producers have not moved their
clips to the market centers as yet, and 1t is
probable that some Of them will hold their prod
uct until later in the fall in the hope Of securing
better market Colonel Thomas Cruise, Of this
city, will pursue this policy.
Sales are now being held at Glendive Billings
Big Timber and Great Falls, and a special sale
Will be held at Fort Benton, Wednesday, July
10. As the season progresses, better tone is
noted In the market Beyond peradyenture
Montana will maintain Its title this year as the
banner wool-growing state Of the union.
|. :. h b.. Long 4 Co. have sold their Glasgow
ranch clip at private sale to Hallowell & Donald
T OF Boston at 17hc. This is the largest clip
yet sold, and the best price this season. The
same firm bought the same clip last year at Ice
Other salese aggregating $4,000 pounds were
made at prices ranging from 1870 to 1870.

Professor Waldron has returned from the north
western part Of the. state, where he investigated
the raYases or the worms. He found the pests
were not the: army worms as reported They
are native worm that has formerly been de-
stroyed annually .bHethe prairie fires The thick
stt!enent OF the state has prevented the fires
and given the worms an opportunity to in
crease. The worms prefer weeds to the wheat
| fields. The professor found that a total of
about 700 acres was at present affected with
| about 200 acres totally destroyed, but the pests
are likely to spread much larger area
Ibere seems to be no way of destroying them,
and 1t Is probable that the stubble on infected
fields will have to he burned this fall with the
grass lands adjoining.
