Expert Gives
Information As To
Market Conditions
Bozeman Authority Explains Factor.
Influencing Wool, Lamb, Beef
and Butter Prices.

BOZEMAN, March 31.-The factors
influencing the wool, lamb, beef and
butter market conditions are pointed
out in the Montana Agricultural Out
look for April now in the hands of
county agents and farmers of the state.
The wool market has some encour-
aging aspects, says Paul Carpenter, ex-
tension economist who prepares the
material for the Outlook. He points
with qualification to the happenings
on the London market Within 60
day period closing the middle of March,
quotations on fine wool raised nearly
43 percent, half blood Al percent and
three Lights jumped nearly two-thirds
above January bids. This is significant
the economist declares, because Lon
don is in real sense the worlds wool
capital.
Mr.. Carpenter suggests that prob
ably a little too much attention was
paid to the increase in sheep numbers
in the United States. The United States
sheep population increased n percent
from 1926 to 1880 Argentina, Uruguay,
the Union of South Africa, Australia
and New Zealand, with 36 sheep out of
every 100 on earth and all large ex-
porting nations. have only increased
their sheep population three and one
half percent in the same period.
Another encouraging feature in the
wool situation which the economist
points out is the decidedly hesitant
purchasing of clothes. There has been
an abnormally small amount of cloth
ing purchased the last year and as the
worlds "other suit" is wearing out
there undoubtedly will be increased
buying.
Low feed prices have offset in part
the low lamb market levels but fed
lambs hardly have been putting on a
fair performance Fewer lambs in feed
lots than a year ago, storage stocks OF
sheep meat not excessive, the winter
lamb market better than beef and pork,
fewer aged ewes reaching the mar
ket, the favorable winter reducing
death loss and prospects Of a favor

neglected, adding that much could be
accomplished by interlocking the in

up to run.
Seeks Old Fire Bells.
Mr.. Duhamel said he was looking for
old fire bells that used to hang in the
towers at the old Union Engine House

said he had learned definitely that there
used to be a bell In the building in
which he was speaking.
