WOOL MARKETS
REMAIN Strong
WOOL MARKETS Throughout The
WORLD CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN
FAVORABLE PRICE LEVELS

AuOlueT week has Uttu IlldTktu ny
extreme quiet in the local wool
market which is not surprising, for
the buyers have already purchased
demands of their principals, while
the holders Of wool. feeling certain
that the price levels already estab-
Iished will be maintained or ad-
vanced slightly, are %betraying no
undue anxiety to close out their
unsold clips. Evidence Of the
strength of the market is furnished
by the large clip of the E. G. With
row clip at Hanna. sold at SO cents.
This lot totaled over 100000 pounds.
The post-lambing shearing season
is not yet entirely over, but the
fleeces are 10Y being taken off fast
and oon the entire clip Of 1922 will
have been sold or ready for the
market. 1t is estimated by those in
close touch with the local situation
that there is total of at least a half
million pounds still unsold in this

Casper Wool Sale
What promised to be the greatest
wool sale Of the season Thursday
met with partial failure in Casper
when offers we're accepted by WOOL
growers for less than half OF a half
million-pound offering comprising
mart of the Natrona county wool pool.
Despite the fact that q crowd of SO
growers and2 buyers attended. mo
sales" were recorded In a majority of
instances.
Out of a total clip Of 100000
pounds OF wool only 10000 pounds
we're sold. Men who expected at
noo Oh An nanfa q mound Rar fh nfp C1fn.
were forced to be satisfied with So to
81 cents. or register no sale. A to-
tai Of $74,106 was taken in by those
who sold clips. The highest price
paid to a grower Thursday afternoon
was 81 cents a pound for the $4,000
pound clip of Josendahl, Parsons and
Klockseim, by the jeremiah williams
company of Boston. Mass.
James Wilson. with a 10000
pound clip received SO cents for 1t
through the bid OF the Chicago Wool
company. Glen Coen is credited with
having accepted the low bid Of SO
cents a pound for 1926 pounds.
Combination Suspected
The day before the sale was spent
bv the buyers in looking owe the
clips, and the enthusiasm which was
shown babe fair to develop into q
zeal sale with some spirited bidding.
When the growers and buyers met In
a special railway coach donated
through the courtesy OF the North
western railway the enthusiasm
seemed to have cooled a bit. In
stead OF the expected competition be-
tween buyers, they seemed as one big
brotherhood. When a company o
a bid there was no competition. The

Could the buyers possibly have had
a few words together before the bid
ding started?
"We gathered here under the I'M
preston that we we're dealing with a
number Of real wool buyers" said
Thomas Cooper. member OF the sale
committee, and presiding officer at
the bidding. "Your manner Of bid
ding makes us believe that you are
here to take up the. time Of the
grower, and I for nj am willing to
call the sale a failure and put up no
more clips"
Big Horn Basin

recently made a statement concern
ing wool conditions in his section OF
the state. in which he reports live

try as most favorable and that they
will have an outlet for about 5000
900 pounds OF wool this season. the

around 81 cents. while they are hay-
Ing q lamb crop Of about 70 per cent
