' Storage operations In the butter mar ' 0 kt have started .for the season.

A year ago ' storas-a one rations were started on "man scale April SO at 22 He a pound but general operations did not begin un til the market had made considerable headway toward a higher range.

Wool Deadlock Continues. . The deadlock between ' buyers and sellers in the wool market is continued and conditions are now more hopeless ly mixed than before the season opened.

According to the "Wyoming Tribune estimates now being made as to the ire of the Wyoming wool clip indicate that this year Wyoming will not only exceed all previous records but it is ex pected will pass Montana, which last year was nip and tuck with this state in Its total wool production, Wyoming last year with a production of 33.600.000 pounds took the lead for wool In the grease, but Montana's figures cn scoured wool exceeded that of this state. This year the Idaho clip Is expected to be at least J S, 00,000 pounds, and it Is confidently ,xpected that this amount when scoured will also exceed the scoured product of Montana, Us njnrfit rnmnetltor. The average weight of an Idaho fleece last year was 7. a pounas, wnne uiis yesr la addition to the wool being of longer staple and liner quality, me weight will probably average close to eight pounds. The advantage to the sheepmen of the stste through this gain alone will be readily seen. Shad Boa I Increasing.
