MOVEMENT FOR
STORING GROWS
More Utah Wool Producers En-
dOrSe Project for Ship
ping to Boston.
AGENTS HAVE THEIR SAY
DECLARE MUCH HAS BEEN CON.
SIGNED TO FIRMS.

Quick results are being obtained by
the committee of Utah wOOIgrowers
which was elected at last Saturdays
mass meeting to take charge of the
campaign of the sheepmen to cause
this years clip TO be stored in Boston
until buyers are ready to give better
prices for wool.
When Secretary e. b. Stewart, of the
Utah WOolgrOwers' association, went
Ia his office in the Mccormick block
Yesterday morning he found H A
Thorley, of ThOrley Bros, at Cedar
city, waiting for him. Mr. Thorley in
formed Secretary Stewart that he rep
resented Iron county woolgrowers who
had 10000 pounds of wool ready for
shipment To Boston. Soon afterward
another sheepman appeared with the
Information that he was acting for
WoolgrOwers in the southern part of
the state who had 10000 pounds of
wool 10 add to the amount controlled
by the united woolgrOwers.
There has been a stream of sheep
men i'm ana out of my office all day"
said Mr. Stewart yesterday afternoon.
The interest in the movement to pro-
tect Utah Wooigrowers from the bear
clement in the wool market has caused
unexpected results. We thought that
several days would pass before we
would be able TO hear from woolgrow-
ers who were not represented at Sat
Erday's meeting, and we are more than
Eraufied to discover that there will be
no period of waiting.
Success Is Assured.
There is no doubt that the united
movement viii be a great success.
he
warehouse proposition is TO the ad-
vantage Of the wool men is shown in
the activity of the agents of the wool
buyers and commission houses i'm OPP
posing the plan. A representative of a
large eastern concern informed me to-
day that he had been authorized TO ad-
vance five cents a pound on 1000, 900
pounds of wool consigned 10 his house.
"Other propositions are being made
by the buyers To win the wOOlgTOWeTs
from the plan of storing. but the sheep
men Of the state are not 10 be deceived
and l feel sure that very large por-
ton of UJah's clip this year will soon
find its way to the Boston warehouse
stephen NJ Convey, who is to repre-
sent Utah interests in Boston. Will not
go 10 that city until about the time
of the arrival there of the first shin
ments of wool. The first cars of Utah
wool sent for storage under the ar
raugement of the wOolgrOWers will
probably reach Boston in about a
week"
WooIbuyers' Story.
The WOOlbuyers have their side OF the
story. They claim that 30 per cent of
the Utah cliD of '0S. about 1000. 600
pounds Of wool. has been consigned to
buying firms in the east. Much Of this
wool they say. has been sent TO ST
Louis. which they claim. is at present
better market than Boston.
II was stated yesterday by the agent
Of IN eastern wool buying concern that
owing to the large amount of Utah
wool that has been consigned. the
united movement of the Utah wool
growers was undertaken too late to
have any marked effect upon the mar
ket and too late TO have the advan-
tageous effect expected by those who
have advocated the Boston warehouse
idea.
Half of Ttah's clip is now con-
signed" said this man. Every day more
wool from all parts. of the state is be
ing sent to commission houses. At best
only a small part of the Utah clip Will
go TO Boston for storage, according TO
the plan of the Utah woolgrowers.
