COMMlSSlON MEN In bOOSI
Secretary and Traffic Manager A.
F. Stryker of the local Live Stock
exchange, was one of the opening
speakers at the first meeting OF the
Wyoming Wool Growers convention
at Thernopolis yesterday. He spoke
on the Relationship OF the Shipper
to the Commission Man"
The development OF the commits
sion exchange from the first rudi-
mentary agreement between packers
and traders at the Chicago exchange
in the hog market to the present
highly defined form OF exchange, was
taken up. The methods by which the
"tricksters" and "shapers," who infest
the market in the hope OF obtaining
big price for their stock, were ex-
planned and the present efficient ways
of eliminating these same evils made
clear.
The exchange expert devoted
large part of his time to praising the
local market. Concerning business
here he said: I'VE handled last year
3,l70,90S sheep, 7577S8 of which came
from Wyoming. We have created
demand for a greater number year
after year. Shippers to our market
will have noticed that generally
speaking. the size of the run had no
effect on the price received. The
more sheep VIC had the greater the
demand
Nov, in conclusion, ! want to say
Use us; our organization is yours.
1t was first instituted for you and
those basic principles of its organl-
cation still maintain. We as members
of the several exchanges are your en-
ployes and shall do our utmost to
merit your approval
