WOOL SELLS Alto CENTS
Marcus Ii. Harris Breaks the Ice of
Utah Market With Five Car
load Purchase.

Marcus II. Harris has closed deal
which throws new light upon the wool
situation. lie has purchased five cars
of Utah county wool ut prices ranging
from 10 to u cents per pound. The
purchase is the first brought to no.
ttce, aside from the movement of seven
cars to Denver securing mills. Growers
have announced on repeated occasions
their determination to hold out for IS
cents but the purchase Just made by
Mr. Harris indicates that the market
is not so tight as has been believed.
Mark" Harris as he is known
throughout the west is always one of
the first buyers in the field and usually
manages to get the ball rolling soon af-
ter his arrival. From years of deal
Ing he IS known to every wool grower
of import in the west. Whatever the
market is; that Is the market" is his
somewhat poetical description of the
wool game.
BY this he explains he means that
demand rules the wool market as it
does every thing else and that's all
there is to 1t. III the demand is brisk
prices will be high; If demand is weak
prices viii correspond. 1 don't believe
the wool growers of Utah and the west
generally feel that they are tricked by
buyers The latter are governed by the
market; they do not govern the mar
ket. Both buyer and grower must abide
by market conditions"

orcd Career at rs.

Special Correspondence.
Kanab, Kane Co., April 9.-F'unernl
services were held in the ward hall
yesterday over the remains of Mary
Ann Steward Broadbent, whose sud
den death occurred in q runaway April
6, near Mt. Carmel, Utah, while on her
way TO visit her daughter, Mrs. James
w. Watson Of Glendale, She was The
daughter of Samuel Steward and
Mary Wilson. and was born at Ware
ham. Norfolk, England, Feb. IL, 1880.
At the age OF is she married Edward
Bunting At about the same time she
Joined the Latter day Saints.
There were born to her in England
one daughter. Thirza, now the wife of
James w. Watson OF Glendale, Kane
county, and a son, Robert, who died
when IA months old. These were the
only children she ever had,
In 1850 her husband brought her to
St. Louis where. a year later, he died
leaving his widow to struggle for her
own living and that of her little girl.
Three years later, April %, 1854. she
was married to Rueben Broadbent, a
widower, who also had come to Amer
lea because he was a Latter-day Saint.
The same year they came to SAT- Lake
valley and settled at Pennington, Davis
county. Here Rueben Broadbent mar
ried Ellen Binns and since then the
two women have never lived in separ-
ate houses, something rather unusual
in any community.
The family We're called to the Mud
dy mission In 1869, where they stayed
until honorably released. Leaving the
Muddy, the family moved to Glendale,
Kane county, whore they remained one
season then went to American Fork.
Mr.. Broadbent was later called to help
build grlst mill at kanab, and In
1879, brought his family to kanab,
where they have been ever since.
In all these moves and missions
"Auntie' Broadbent, as she was low
ingly called. was n willing and eifi-
cient helpmate. In 1888 she took the
motherless. 10-day-old son of William
NJ. Dobsop to raise and cared for him
as her own son until she died.
Besides all this she was always a
worker In the different Church or
ganizations in every ward In which
she has ever lived, being especially
active in the Relief society, Sunday
school and Primary work.
She leaves II husband SIS years old,
one daughter, eight grand children,
and six t-grandchildren to cherish
her memory. The speakers at the flu
neral were Patriarchs James A. Little
and Nathan Adams, Bishops Counselor
F. A. Lundquist and Elder r. $. Nc
Allister, who all testified to the faith
fulness and works of the deceased.
