MONTANA WOOL PRICES.
Bulk of the Clip VIII Bring 25 Gents
Per Pound.

A special from Twin Bridges, Mont,
says of wool and sheep prices in that
state:
While Madison county is still large
ly cattle country, sheep are steadily
gaining ground and the wool crop this
season is estimated at fully one-third
over last year or about 10000
pounds.
This change, according TO some OF
the leading flockmasters, is principal
ly due to the advanced price of wool
and mutton and If the price of cattle
does not improve there is apt TO be a
decrease at least among the large
herds.
Woclgrowers Of this section of the
state. us far as can be learned. have
not contracted n single pound of wool
on the sleeps back. although some
of them were approached last fall. At
that time offers were made from u
to % cents. Growers for the most
part are staunch in their belief that
% cents will be about the minimum
price for ordinary wool, while wool

SUNSHINE NEEDED.
Oregon Crops Have Had Enough Rain

The entire week was showery and
cool but not so cool as the previous
week. No damaging frosts occurred d
and In only few localities were light
frosts reported. In the coast counties

Oregon rain fell on from three to five
days.
The showers were generally light
and the total amount OF precipita ton
was not excessive On Saturday
numerous thundershowers occurred,
and in few localities hail and high,
gusty winds were reported, but In no
case were they destructive. The soil
is now wet to a good depth, and the
wish is general for spell of warm,

The past week was another dull one

small sales of bulk-sweate0 goods having

ridge. The latter sold at price that
packers of 1907 goods would be glad to
take today. Dealers are still as reticent
as ever about prices, and some still con-
tend that the price will yet settle down
at not under % cents pound Some of
the packers are not pleased over the
published reports of the prevalence of
black rot, evidently forgetting that
frankness in the matter will do less harm
than attempts at concealment. Who
ever buys will learn then what condition
the packing is in. The majority of the
dealers take a more sensible view, and
are willing the actual state of the goods
should be advertised
The weather we are new having is ad-
mirable for the plants now in the field,
and by the end of this week all of the
plants will be out in the field.

EDGERToN, WIS, June %, 1906.
Timely and copious rains have fallen
over the greater portion of the tobacco
growing sections of the state during the
week, which have proven of incalculable
value in the planting of the crop. The
soil is again placed in most excellent
shape for transplanting while the earlier
set fields will be sent rapidly forward
under the influence of warm weather.
The close of the present week ought to
see the great bulk of the intended acre
age in the fields with the prospect that
almost the entire crop will be out by the
close of the month and all of it with a
good stand and we'll started.
While there is strong inquiry for 'O5
packings, and in fact for all descriptions
of cured leaf, we hear of no large trans
actions being effected. Dealers are de-
manding outside figures for their hold
ings and when sales are made are gener-
ally able to secure their asking prices.
4 number of out of town dealers have
visited the local leaf markets during the
week.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 200 cases from this market to all
points for the past week.

With the exception of more or less
speculative buying, the domestic leaf
market presents no features of impor-
tance this week. Reports from all do
mestic tobacco raising sections continue
favorable to the new crop, the weather
conditions being in general all that
could be desired for the growth of that
portion already transplanted and for the
completion of the work of setting out.
Sumatra.-T feature of the week in
this particular type consists in the num-
Der of sales made to jobbers and other
dealers as we'll as to manufacturers,
which is the best possible indication
that the trade has accepted the present
level of prices as permanent

About all who raise from to 10 or &c
acres are practically through with their
setting.
Tobacco that has been set out ten
days is looking fine in this vicinity, for
although we have not had any heavy
rains we have had quite number of
light showers, which have started the
plants nicely, and the crop comes to the
first hoeing in as good a shape as it is
often seen, where the cut worms have
not worked havoc with the plants, and

been damaged to any great extent. [

setter tells that the 1906 crop of tobacco
is being set out, and the recent rains
have made it an ideal time to give them
a good start, and they are looking bright
and nice. Plants are plenty and good.

The public is deeply interested in the
packing house scandals which have been
aired in the press following the publica-
ton Of the Neill- Reynolds report and the
message on the subject from the presi-
dent to congress. If the statements of
the Chicago packers are to be credited
they have not been treated fairly. They
claim that when the committee was sent
by the president to investigate condi-
tions of the stock yards, free access was
given to the Investigators and they were
told If any Improvements in plants or
methods could be suggested by the COM
mittee which were practical they would
make them within thirty days and would
then ask the committee to return and
make further report. They expressed
a desire to do everything possible to
place their business above suspicion at
home and abroad The large packers
felt themselves reasonably secure and
knew that their plants were superior 10
every respect to those of the email t l.
lows who operated independent plans,
wherein much could be found to criti-
cize. The report of the committee was
so worded as to put all the packers in
tie same category, and instead OF an OPP
portunity being given to make changes
and improvements recommended the re-
port has been given wide publicity and
the meat business has suffered and will
suffer almost irreparable loss. The real
losers in the unfortunate publicity which
has been given the presidents message
and structures will be the farmers. The
latter have been getting excellent prices
for their live stock during the past few
years owing to the prosperity Of the
wage earners and others and to the for
eign demand, which is an important one
in some branches of the meat industry.
With a lessening of the demand for
meat which must necessarily follow the
exposures referred to, there must come
lowering of the market price of live
stock Indirectly the price and value of
farm lands will be affected

NEW YORK, June Is. 1906,


This being the tail-end of the season
or rather the dead season for the leaf
market, trading mas quieted down con-
siderably. And there is not much left
to trade anyhow in domestic leaf except
odds and ends which are commanding
full value of regular goods. Sumatra
sales are progressing we'll with houses
that know how to make the selections
for their trade at the Inscriptions and
which have reputation for square deal
ing and not for prevarication. Not
everybody can make success of the
Sumatra business by having it reported
that he attended one or two inscriptions
while his lack of exact knowledge of
trade conditions or rather his self-in-
hated opinion about his own faculties
mislead him in the selection of desirable
stock and the perversity Of his temper
ment units him to carry the proper con-
victlon with the trade. Even in the
present, most auspicious situation for a
voluminous sale of Sumatra, tact is no
less required than business perspicacity
to deal successfully in Sumatra. In the
Havana market an air of expectancy is
still prevailing. In the meanwhile hold
ers of old stock are not too anxious to
sell out and wherever strong demand
for purchases manifests itself prices are
being almost imperceptibly pushed up
