Every anticipation by buy­ ers aud heavy dealers and the trade and commercial publications, is that there is to be a boom next year in the wool trade in all parts of the world, and the manufacturers are in the lists ibis early to anticipate the time when wool will be hard to get aud then at almost prohibitive prices. Further than this, wool is selling now in St Paul for 20 cents per pound— also of uext year’s clip. Four buyers of sheep arrived at the Hotel Pendleton a few days ago and immediately scattered through­ out Eastern Oregon in search of sheep. Other buyers are known to have arrived from different parts of the country before and 'Since, and it is further known that it is almost impossible for them to find what they want. The four Montana men announced when they came that they want 10,000 yearling ewes and breeders generally, and failing to find their first choice in numbers to suit them they will buy range 6heep of all classes. Five weeks ago, at Shaniko, year­ ling ewea were held at $1.75. Two weeks ago they advanced to $2.25, ¡nd it is known that at this time some of the seepmen are actually holding out for $2 25 per head for culls of yearling weathers. All the time it is possible that some of the shespmen may overreach and fall down. At the same time any con­ siderable reaction from the present tendency for prices to go upward and Stay at a stiff' price is hardly possible in the opinion of the most experienced ar.d successful sheep­ men of Umatilla county. The situation in the interior is accentuated in favor of the owners of sheep by ths phenominal fine fall range and abundance of feed for winter, which are portents of a fine wool crop grown at a minimum of expense; and to this prospect is coupled the universal belief that uext year will be a year of good prices for the wool. Tbe J. D. Wood Company of Sait Lake, one of the heaviest sheep firms west of the Missouri river, writes to a local firm of sheepmen asking for prices on 10,000 yearling ewea. The reply did not quote any prices, because the sheep are not in Umatilla county at any price. The Wood company wants ewes that are one-half Merino and tbe other half either Cotswold or Shropshires. Tbe Wood company will further Und, if i$ has not yet found, that it will experience inability to get these sheep anywhere in tbe United State*, 0 the conditions so confi­ dently expressed by one of Umatilla county's sheep kings last spring as being erienced practical banking man will, at any rate, at the beginning have charge of the clerical work, but the real manage­ ment will be left to a local man, whose name has not been made public at this time As the articles of incorporation are still in preptration, the person- el of the officers and directors are not known, but it is understood that they will be local people.
