Berg Christiansen topped the market at 83 1/3 cents, bought by Silberman and Son of Chicago through Harry Ballard, a local record and possibly the season’s top Montana price. A. E.

The Mose Smyth clip went to North Star Woolen Mills of Minneapolis through Johnson, price not disclosed. Smaller clips fetched 31 to 38 cents as buyers and growers work out terms amid a deadlock. About two and a half million pounds are stored at the First National Wool warehouse, including some Lemhi county wool, with more sales anticipated as competition grows.
