In fact. It la en Id that tho only out-HUe wool men ope rating to any extent la the West are two large St. loula bouoe and a lance Hartford. Conn- house. At a matter of fact, we nnderatand tnat fully tu per cent of the L'tah clip haa bea cleaned tip. at price reported varying from 43 to SO canta. while a good part of the Nevada clip baa also been cleaned tip at price varying from 49 to fto canta. In Oregon, the buying baa started and thoee wool whlrh have been purchased, are esti mated to baTO cost from 44 to 4T canta. Purchases In Wyoming are estimated to , have cost the buyers about 49 to 4 canta for good wools and for tba poorer wools 49 to 47 cents. The aw clip, aa a whole, promlsea to t satisfactory , and In good average contlitlon. It la said to be rather short In Utah and Nevada, however, and ther Is am difference of opinion In regard to the Wyoming clip, tbe opinion of some being t'ut this wool la heavy and poorer In condition than for some time owing to the swere Winter which tie sheep have h-d to e-o through.

BUTTER IS CENT LOIR SALEM, Or., May 9. (Special.) Trier, for both green and-dried prunes this year will be th. greatest In th. history of th, prune Industry. I think thtf. Is little doubt of it now." This statement was mad. today by C L. Dirk, manager of the Salem Fruit I'nlon. As Mr. Dick practically Inaugurated th. green prune business In Salem and th. Wlliamett. Valley thl, statement -carries considerable weight. K. t. McKeany. of Medford. Korthwest representativs of th. Producers' Fruit As sociation, of Medford. was her. today Inter viewing Mr. Dick and mad. an offer for 200 cars of green prune, which Mr. Dick de clare, la fh. largt that haa even bn a tended In th. history of th. Industry. "wrat prico was offered 1 am unwilling to say." statd Mr. Dick. "Th, best prlco which w. hav. ever reeefvejo In tho past was 03 cents a bushel In iww and It Is suf- ncirni to say that th. offer mad, now Is considered very much better. As far as dried prunes ar. concerned I do not wish to mak. any definite statement la this connection aa our principal dealings ar. In green prunes, but I know that right now th. prices for rnu and dried prunes ar. better than they hav. ever been befor, ndthey will go considerably higher." From statements mad, by other dealers ther. ia .vary Indication that th. Orvgon prune this year will bo In th. height ot Its glory aa for as price, ar. concerned. As to the crop It Is still difficult to mak. any statement, according to th. leading prune men. but ther. seems to b. small doubt that th. crop will be excellent. i Butt.
