WYOMING CLIP IS
ABOUT ALL SOLD
BUYERS WHO HAVE BEEN oPER-
ATlNG IN WEST HAVE
MOVED FARTHER WEST.
Venturesone Operations Of Boston
Buyers in This Section Respon-
sible for Present Status of Staple
-cosgriH Clip Still Making Talk
for Boston Dealers.

Boston, Mass, May 16.-The local
wool market steadily gathers strength.
Buyers are numerous in the marked.
and the trend is wholly in the sellers
favor. Boston dealers are largely re-
spOnsible for the present status of the
staple. Their venturesome operations
in the west since last fall have stirred
up the markets of two continents;
they have fought enormously in Aus
traIia and South America, and il is
their bidding which has put up the
price of merinos and crossbreds at the
London auction sales now in progress
from 10 to 10 per cent for the latter,
above the closing values at the pre-
viUus sale.
Spot sales of territory wool in.
creased somewhat as early shorn
woods arrive and furnish a basis for
business. Nearly 1000, 900 pounds Of
old and new woods have been taken
altogether, in addition to some half a
million of secured, the best of the lat
ter bringing 20 cents, while no sales
are reported below SO cents. One
buyer paid 65h cents for 10000
pounds Of fine and fine medium, and 65
cents is readily paid for any fine and
fine medium wool.
The contract buying in the west coh-
%tinues, although outside of Montana
and Oregon there is very little more
left to buy, and in Oregon rs per cent
OF the clip is contracted, while in Mon
tana only about 5000, 900 pounds re-
main unsold. The Wyoming clip is
practically all cleaned up, and the
buyers who have been operating there
for some weeks past have moved far
Their west.
The Cosgriff clip of 500, 900 pounds,
sold in Wyoming on Tuesday at 22&
cents, vas offered at 10 cents a month
ago, and was sold last year at 1915
cents. The clip will shrink about 20
per cent and cost fully 80 cents clean
and landed. The buyer was a conserv'
alive Boston house.

D0|NGS FOR
THE FOURTH
DISCUSSION OF A CELEBRATION
TO BE HELD HERE ON THE
NATIONS BIRTHDAY.
of the Fair Grounds for the Day
and Evening and Old-Fashioneo
Celebration and Fireworks Sug.
gested-Racing n Dancing.

/ The business men of the city have
begun the agitation of a Fourth OF
July celebration for Laramie, and be
lieve an effort should be made to keep
the people at home on that day and
amuse them. The form so far suggest,
ed has been an old-fashioned country
picnic at the fair grounds, with races
and dancing and a fireworks display
at night. The fair association will do
nate the use of the fair grounds for the
day and evening, as was learned from
Vice President Fred A. Miller when the
matter was suggested to him.
1t has been suggested that the new
exhibition hall at the fair grounds be
tloored and a dance conducted there
during the afternoon and evening, max,
ing the price reasonable and furnishing
amusement for the young people. The
hall is so by 100 feet in size, well ven,
tilated, but lacks the floor, which could
be put in at not a very great expense.
ANo DSltel place lOl SullllHel udllClnS
could be found in the city.
The fire department will make a dis
play at the fair grounds if the celebra-
ton can be arranged, some Of the own
ers of local fast horses are aching for
an opportunity to swap a few dollars
with the owners of other fast horses,
and this might be said of ne foot rae
ers of the city, also.
Laramie is 10Y the head center of
automobiling in the state, and a pro-
cession of automobiles and perhaps a
race or two on the half.mile track could
be arranged. There are more and bet
ter automobiles in this city than in m
other city in the state.
Some bicycle races could be arrang-
ed to add spice to the afternoons pro
gram, and there might be a,s,any bug
gy race, also.
A meeting will likely be called at
the city hall in a day or two for the
preliminary arrangements for the af-
fair, there being a unanimity of senti-
ment that the celebration should be
held and the day made a city holiday.
