Friday and saturday, showed further
substantial sales over those reported.

the two weeks has been close 10 IA

marked up their asking prices on
their remaining stocks. and one or
two large holders of this years ter
ritory clip declare that they are IN
willing to sell anything more, for tho
present az least, AZ the prices which
have prevailed on simple Montana
