WOOL CLIP NOW
MOVING RAPIDLY
Amount Already Shipped Not
Less Than 100000 Pounds.
PRICES HOLDING UP WELL
OUTLOOK Is STRONG FOR A
SPLENDID SEASON.

Although the wool season is only
fairly under way, not less than 100000
pounds of wool have been shipped from
Utah eastward since the beginning of
the clip. At an average OF 1872 cents
A pound, which is pronounced conserva-
tive. this would make $4,000 Utah
sheepmen are ahead already
The outlook is for one of the best
seasons i'm years for the wool growers
of the state. Prices are holding up and
the clip is better than last year. The
sheep have wintered well and the wool
is i'm good condition.
The wool SO far moved has gone at
l. to 1414 cents. Extraordinarily fine
clips may have brought a little more,
and some poor clips may have gone a
tTifle under the low figure, but the bulk
of the wool has brought between 1874
and IL cents. At first the buyers were
bidding around Is cents and the grow
erS were holding at 10 20 16 cents.
There have been mutual concessions,
however. and now the wool is moving
freely. buyers and sellers coming to
terms quickly.
Nearly all the wool so far moved has
come from points south of Salt Lake.
Shearing has been in progress at Ne
phi. Black Rock. Milford Marysvale,
Naca, Price and other points. including
some west of Salt Lake. Practically
none of the reservation wool has come
i'm yet. SheaTing is just beginning in
this region and there will probably be
an active market at Price for some
time.
North of Salt Lake there is little do
ing. Shearing is just beginning at
Rawlins and the season in Wyoming
and Idaho will soon be under way.
