Il. f. Hamilton of San Angelo,
Tex, son of j. h. Hamilton, who
is perhaps the most extensive
sheep trader in all Texas and the
Southwest, was in yesterday with
five carloads of grass wethers.
Speaking of the sheep in the San
Angelo district, Mr.. Hamilton
said: SIT is safe to say that
more than half Of the sheep to
be marketed have been shipped
out of that district. The rest
left there will no doubt be COM
ing along every week till they are
marketed. So far as buying for
next fall and winter is concerned,
we have made no purchases yet,
and will not for some little time
The lamb crop was big one and
there ought to be good many on
the market"
II. l.. Atkinson of San Angelo,
Texas, accompanied a big string
of sheep belonging to Mckenzie &
Ferguson, to this market yester-
day. This firm has been making
heavy shipments to this market
during the past few weeks, and
has more to follow. "San Angelo
is the great wool Market" said
Mr.. Atkinson, land while u great
deal of it has been sold and
moved, there is still held large
quantities of it. The wool trade
there is immense, and as the
sheepmen of that district clip
twice each year, it makes the wool
trade very active a good portion
of the year. The sheepmen gem
orally are feeling good over the
prices they have received for their
wool, as well as the great abund-
ance cf grass there is all over the
sheep district"
