WOOL MARKET IS HEAVY DURING
PERIOD OF BUYERS WITHDRAWAL

The wool market of Nevada has
been heavy during the week and
more or less so for the last two
weeks. The belief among sheepmen
is that it will come back, they being
optimists always, but they have NO
absolute proof to that effect and
naturally some of them are more or
less nervous. Appearances are that
they are right, but when 1t does re-
turn TO the normalcy that obtained
prior to this period of dullness one
thing that is more than certain is
that more of them than heretofore
will be willing to sell at quotations
between A and so cents a pound.
The current belief Is that the wool
buying interests of the country are
under a single control and that when
growers become obstreperous tho
field buyers are simply called off and
kept away until things quiet down
when they are sent out again and
told to act with moderation and not
get the growers excited. 1t is the
OB4hibn Vi oaSh 10 th'
situation now and that when the
buying is resumed it will be on a
basis of former quotations. with no
fear of anything lower.
AS an evidence that the withdraw
al of buyers is for the purpose of de
pressing prices it is noted that when
ever they are withdrawn no quota
tions whatever are obtainable. So II
was three years ago when The mar
ket fell In a day from Il cents TO
nothing at all and last year when the
agents were called in for time, dur
ing which period no quotations were
obtainable.
More and more 1t Is becoming the
custom of growers to form pools of
White Pine news. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1920-1923, 1923-05-27

greater or less dimensions. Locally
two to half dozen sheepmen Will Sc
lect one OF their number and turn
their wool over to him with abso-
lutte carte blanche to sell to the
best advantage of all The forma-
tion of these pools is one of the OBJ
stacles of the buyers in a way, for
each pool handler wants to make
good and to show the members that
this is the proper system, for he is
generally the champion of the plan
among their number.
Shearing is not more than one
third over N this part of the state
and delivery of the big sacks TO the
stations is only started. The clips
are averaging heavier than last year
and with the increased price the ag-
gregate amount of money distributed
in this part of the country will be
so to 60 per cent more than t was
in 1922.
TIE effect of the market quota
tionssof this year has been to shat
ter former theories about the ruling
power of tariff rates. Last year the
country was under the emergency
tariff, which was denounced at the
time as being prohibitive. The claim
made at the time was. especially
upon the part of buyers. that when
the permanent tariff law, with its
lower rates. went into effect the mar
ket price of average western range
wool would recede to about 20 cents
pound and remain steady at or
around that figure This having
proved a false notion the question
is, What has the tariff to do with 1t.
anyway? The experience of this year
has shaken belief in theories. upset.

large delegations from southern states
normally democratic. No delegates
Will be allowed under the new rule

ton and do not cast at least $500
republican votes. This strips many
southern districts entirely of repre-
sanitation, reducing South Cardinals

pretty affair and very jolly crowd
of guests.
Mr.. Megert was presented with a
large framed picture of Christ in the
Temple" The presentation was made
by Mr.. Harry Small in a very apt
speech in which he assured Mr.. Me-
CERT of the support of his people. Mr..
Megert, though taken by surprise,
made a feeling response to this token
Of friendship and kindly interest.
The evening was passed in games
and music. Rock proved a favorite
diversion. The guests had brought
with them refreshments of ice cream
and cake. which were served during
the evening. In every respect the eve
ming was delightful.

DODGE BROTHERS RETAIL DE-
LWERlES BREAKING ALL REC.
ORDS
Number Of Cars Delivered to Gus
toners in Excess of any Similar
Previous Period

Since January 1st. Dodge Brothers
dealers have consistently broken all
previous records for delivery of cars
to customers. Since April LIST, deliy-
cries to customers have averaged more
than 5000 cars per week. This Is with
out taking into account sales in for
clgn countries. Materially increased
production in 1923 has made this per-
Torrance possible.
For the first quarter in 1928 retail
deliveries to customers were in excess
OF any quarter in the history of the
Businessmen including the peak Pc
RODS of 1919-1920. Following this, de-
llVer1es for April exceeded any previ-
Gus month of the first quarter and de-
livery figures for each week I'm April
exceeded the totals of the preceding
Wcek-each week creating a new high
record. May maintained the pace cs-
tablished in April. June should be
better than May.
Dodge Brothers are able to compile
this sales information because of the
cooperation Of each Of their dealers
throughout the entire United States
and Canada in sending in weekly re-
port of all retail deliveries made to
customers. Through these reports
they have an accurate. detailed record
of exact conditions existing in each
sales territory. Their calculations are
based upon the number of cars actual
~ consumed by the public as they be-
lleve this to be the only true indication
of conditions.
The constantly climbing delivery
records coupled with increasing pro-
duction. lead Dodge Brothers to be-
lieve that the last six months of 1923
added to the RECORD breaking first six
months will total by far the greatest
| year in the history of their business.
