Continued from page -

wool prices were a decided disap-
pointment for the small offerings sold
today, the average price of the day
being but 1917 cents. The largest
clip offered, that of n. G. Davis. was
withdrawn altogether because OF the
failure of the owners to receive a
bid Of over 1917 cents and this price
was refused. The sales of today were
2R to 3k cents lower than those paid
for the same clip a year ago.
1T is expected that better prices
will obtain at the big sale which starts
next week and when the presence OF
more buyers will create better com
petition.

EXCURSION TO MOORE.
Big Crowd Goes Down to See the

The excursion to Moore Sunday
proved so popular that the two coach.
es held for the trip were not suffi.
cient to accommodate the crowd and
box car had to be fitted up for the
occasion. The run to Moore and back
was delightful one, and was much
enjoyed by the eXcursionists. OF
course all the visitors took in the
ball game, and the population Of
Moore and vicinity turned out en-
masse to see the sport. The local
nine put it all over the dry bench
ers. the score standing IS to II at
the close, but these figures do not
tell the story Of the game by any
means. 1t was a smuggling contest
pretty much all the way through, both
sides making long drives that defied
the outfield and delighted the crowd.
