SEVENTEEN CENTS THE MARK
ON LOCAL MARKET.
PAST THREE DAYS. SALES
Great Volume of Business Transact
ed and Much Better Feeling
Is Prevalent.

r At last the local wool market has
recovered from it's condition of lethar-
gy and is now booming. Clips are
offered with remarkable liberality and
prices have taken a new turn. Sea-
sons records have een broken by
the payment of figures that only a
short time ago seemed would not be
reached at any time this year. Seven
teen cents was paid, for a fancy arti-
Gle, it is true, but for all that it may
be said to have marked an epoch in
the history of Billings wool sales, as
man. years have passed since the
same thing was done. This price vas
obtained by j. H. Schroeder, and he is
a YelloWstone county 1ockmaster, too,
so it will be seen that the more for
tunate counties to the north do not
have a monopoly of high grace wool,
Since last report the following sales
have been recorded:
