Good Demand For Wool.

According to the Boston CONNER.
cial Bulletin, there is a good demand
for wool in the seaboard markets. In
its review Of the situation the Bulletin
says:
This week has marked the advent of
many buyers on the market, coming
from mills both large and small.
Sales have been frequent, and we'll
distributed, the medium sized mills
having been large buyers. Purchases
have likely touched the 10, ZOO, 600
pounds mark, some ever estim ating
higher, with the activity mostly con.
fined to all grades Of the new Terri.
tory woods. 1t is understood that
some large deals have been pending
which may be settled now.
The goods market has quickly re.
sponded to the high price Of wool,
and now all mills are looking for
supplies. The production Of the fin.
ished material is keeping pace with
the available wool, and it is said that
there will be no than enough to
meet the requirements until the next
clip. Although the clip of Australia
has been increased this year and Is
expected to be still further augmented
10 1906, the demand will be able to
take a of the production and con.
~sequenly the situation will be unaf
fected. The season has been more
active than the same period of last
year, and owing the fact that the &C.
tivity began earlier, more wool has
been bought for consumption. 1t is
estima ted that from one.half to two.
thirds Of the 1905 clip has already
been disposed of.
The woods from Montana are arriv-
ing in quantity and will continue to
do so for some four weeks yet. Those
woods received, notwithstanding those
reports to the contrary, have, 10 most
instances, appeared we'll.
The bulk of the heavy trans actions
OF the week have been in territory
woods. and the call has been general
for all woods and all grades. Much
of the selling has been in original
bags. Montana woods have been sold
at p to 2sc, and Wyomings and Utahs

THE INSPECTOR wILTED.

Inspection Of Beef shipments.

The approach Of the beef shipping
season brings TO the memory OF nor
thern Montana stockmen several To-
stances of Discrimination or incapacl'
ty among the so-called veterinary en-
perts, or federal inspectors, who are
supposed to safeguard the public in'
terests by inspecting every cattle
shipment and holding back such as
are infected with scab or have been
exposed to disease. Most of these
officials are competent men and are
disposed to give the shipper a square
deal, but according to stories current
among northern Montana stockmen
there are a few whose discharge
would o impair the efficiency Of the
service.
Ore of these stories relates TO an

to be an unjust decision. Approach

thai official something to this effect:
