WOOL BRINGS 22} CENTS.
Buyers Begin Active Campaign For
Northern Montana Clips.

Developments of the past week in.
dictate that Boston wool firms that
made contracts for Montana wool
q few weeks ago at 10 "a 20 cents Sc
cured bargains. Since that time the
conditions IN eastern and foreign
markets have caused an appreciation
In values, and quotations in the wool
producing sections have been gradual.
ly advanced. A dispatch from Rock
Springs, Wyo., reports offers of 81
cents for wool clips in that section,
and q few days ago several northern
Montana sheepmeu contracted their
wool at that figure.
The most important and significant
incident of the week 10 local wool cir
Giles, however, was the receipt of tele.
grams by several Fort Benton sheep
men from q Boston wool firm, asking
them to put q price on their clips.
Several of them responded, and after
exchanging q few telegraphic commun-
ications G. II. Ragland closed q deal
with Fred Fl. Putnam by which he dis
poses of this seasons wool at q
straight price of % cents. The Rag
land clip, which will include the wool
from an outfit of recently imported
Oregon sheep, will amount to nearly
ESQ, 900 pounds.
Another local wool growing firm,
whose clip is one of the largest In this
part Of Montana, responded to the
Boston buyer by Offering to contrac,
at % cents. This response was mel by
q counter offer to contract for the
clip at 224 cents, but this figure is moi
acceptable to the owner of the wool,
It is understood that another of the
largest outfits in this vicinity is hold
ing its wool at q price that will re
quire q better offer than q cents tc
effect q sale.
There promises to be an active de-
mand for sheep of all kinds the com
ing season, and trading has already
commenced. A deal was made th'
past week in which A. E. McLeisl
