ESTIMATES ON THE
SEASONS WOOL CLIP

The wool clip of Montana this
season aggregated s4,5OO, 900, accord
ing to All estimate made by w. X.
Sheldon, general agent of the Wis
consin Central, with headquarters IN
Helena. Mr.. Sheldon has kept close
tab on wool shipments out OF Mon
tana for number of years past, and
also has access to figures of the buy
ers, SO that his estimate is as nearly
right as al estimate could be. The
wool clip Of 1909 has been estimated
ut 10000, 900 pounds, and if this esti-
mate is right there has been de-
crease this year of $500, 900 pounds of
wool. This is chiefly due, not to a
decrease in the number of sheep, but
to the fact that the average weight of
the tleeces this year was lighter than
year ago, the lighter weight being
ascribed to the hard winter.
The average price Of wool this year
was 10 1-2c per Id. Il decrease of 2 l-2c
over last years quotations. This
makes the value of the Montana wool
clip this year approximately s6,soO.-
600 which is s2,OOO,OOO less than the
value Of last years clip.
From the information | have re-
ceived, look for Il decrease in the
size of next years wool clip, but for II
better average price, said Mr.. Shell
fnslsA ~
Ting up of the range many outfits are
retiring from business and the num-
ber Of sheep is becoming less. rs the
new settlers are not taking to the
breeding OF sheep as they are to the
breeding of cattle and horses. Then,
also, the present indications are that
the general tone of the market will be
stronger next year than it was this
year.
Speaking of the range conditions
Mr.. Sheldon said that in the past
month there had been considerable
improvements in the range in north
ern Montana. but that a good many
of the stOckmen will be short of feed
If the winter is severe. Consequently
many of them are reducing their
holdings by marketing their surplus
This has g!uttcd the market and
brought the price of mutton to the
producer at least, very low; lower in
fact. in Il number of instances than it
cost to produce the mutton.
