Early Wool Sales Hurt Montana Growers in 1924 Losses
Montana wool growers who sold or contracted their 1924 clips face an estimated loss of 1.5 million dollars, says Matt Staff of the National Wool Warehouse & Storage Co. He warns against pre season contracting for 1925, noting prices could rise and urging growers to wait for higher market levels. He cites a Montana clip example showing a 12 cent profit split among three dealers before reaching the manufacturer and projects a potential 1.3 million dollar gain if 1926 prices rise by seven cents.
