Antelope Wool Growers Think the

however, is not the onlv favored
one. The whole state has not
been slighted and the usual warm

huddled around the stoves and
shuddered trom the sight of a
bountiful supply of snow. "Cold

The Madras Pioneer contains
the following which is indicative of
the statement that the upward
tendency of the sheep market this
year is without bounds:
J. B. Cartwright, a prominent
sheepman from Cross Keys, was in
Madras yesterday. He says that
prices for yearling sheep are 75
cents per head higher than tney
were last year at this time, while
the prospects are that wool will
sell for from 2 to 4 cents per
pound higher than last year's
price. Mr. Cartwright recently ,
had an offer of 10 per head for
1000 bred ewes, to be selected
from the band by -the purchaser,
which offer ho refused. This is
undoubtedly the highest price
