WOOL YIELD TO pc SMALLER.
Large Number Of Sheep Have. Already
Been Taken to Market.

Billings, Mont. June i3.--From var
iGus sections where sheep shearing Is
now in progress comes the report that
this seasons wool Is equal. " not supe-
rior in quality to any ever produced
in Montana. 1t is said on good au-
thority, however. that the yield viii
he fdlly 30 per cent less than last year.
The reason assigned IL that an immense
number of sheep In All parts Of the
state were sent TO market during the
last spring ana Summer. Two reasons
are advanced for the heavy sales. The
prices offered for mutton were too at
tractive to be turned down by the
growers, and the ranges are rapidly
being converted into farms by the
homesteaders. who operate under the
dry farming" system. leaving no place
for the fiockmaster with large holdings
TO range his bands. one OF the leading
growers gives II as his opinion that
prices paid for wool during the next
few weeks will be fully as high as
those which prevailed last season.
