High Prices for Wethers Set Record in Local Market
Frank Church sold 2700 two year old wethers to John Wilson of Gillette Wyoming at 5.80 per head. Sheep were wintered near Red Lodge and shipped to Glendive for shearing. Wilson expects wool yields of ten pounds per sheep at 25 cents, reducing costs. Multiple buyers in town seek low prices as shearing opens mid month. Fraser Bros and C. M. Bair lead regional activity with large contracts and anticipated high profits. Lambing in Yellowstone county is near completion with a strong season and good pasture.

He says laws intend a current school year, with boards governing districts from September after April elections. He also notes county commissioners lack power to cancel delinquent taxes after three years and outlines filing fees for foreign corporations increasing capital stock.

Wool Buyers Bluffing But Fergus County Sheepmen Stand Firm
A Lewistown dispatch reports that major eastern wool houses plan to ignore Montana producers to pressure terms, but Fergus County flockmasters refuse to accept lower prices. Montana growers, about 5,000,000 pounds of wool, want last year’s prices and stay prepared to meet buyers halfway, aiming for steady terms after shearing.
