Manderfield, manager of the Union stock yards of North Salt Lake, and Dr. It. N. Mead, chairman of the livestock department of the Salt Lake Commercial club, pas.-.ethrough Sevier county this week on a business trip and after talking with them our cattle and sheep men feel considerably better than two weeks ago. Both these gentlement were, on this trip, regular joy dispensers. Mr. Manderfield who brought the Union stock yards from small beginnings, is expressing confidence in the beef and hog market. Hogs, especially, are and cattle is picking up. going strong Dr. Mead's message to the sheepmen was still better. He states that wool, for which there was no market at all for some time, is now on the upgrade and predicts that the price by September will again be well over forty cents, probably forty-fivDr. Mead is explaining his view in an article in the Salt Lake Tribune in which he says: From a condition of apathy the market has taken on keen activity. Several sales at 38 cents have been reported from Price, while in other parts of the state offers of 38 cents and 39 cents have been declined, because the clip owners, through financial assistance, find they are able to hold their clips. Three weeks ago there were no buyers in the field. Today nearly every wool commission house is active and seeking to induce clip holders to consign. The stagnancy of the market during the slump is illustrated in the attempted sale at Mountain Home. Idaho. The sale date came directly on the heels of the date for the sale of the big Australian clip regarded the key to the market situation. When the Australian sale was called off il was reflected in all parts of the country, and, though six buyers were present at the Idaho sale, not one made an offer. Eastern wool concerns are looking for consignments at an advance of 3C cents. Two Salt Lake banks, following an analysis' of the wool market, commenced recently a plan of advancing 25 cents per pound to wool growers who desired to hold. The Jericho clip, the biggest single sale in the country, has been handled this way and its 1,013,000 pounds now are stored in Salt Lake City. It is esti mated that in the neighborhood o' 2 000,000 pounds of wool are being held in Salt Lake through this arrangement, with minor shipments constantly coming in. Among the larger clips' consignee are the and Monroe. Ir many sections shearing has not been completed, particularly in the localities where shearing is favored. Nevada and southern Utah have finished, but in some camps of northern LTtah and in the higher altitudes of Idaho flocks are yet to be e. Pang-uitc- after-lambin- g shorn. The wool market slump, which had woolgrowers worried for a time, was due, Dr. Mead believes, to the move on k I the part of the British government to force liquidation of territorial debts. As a means of meeting its share Australia announced sale of its big clip, running into many million pounds, at auction. Such a gigantic sale obviously attracted attention of speculators and buyers everywhere, and the market halted until word was heard from Australia. When the day approached for the sale it was called off. Speculators were puzzled and there was no buying This continued until recently, when movements like the one in Utah were commenced to finance the clip owners in holding. Buyers then were forced into action. pleted. Salina Canyon Co.

He was on his way to his fathers farm and had taken his brothers horse to ride to work. The animal not used to the rider became frightened and at once began to run at a terrific speed. Had he not run into a fence the rider may have gotten control of him but under the circumstances Mr. Bastian was hurled from the saddle against a fence post. His right leg hit the post with such a blow that the ligaments were tom completely from the bones and the knee cap dislocated. The accident occurred near his fathers home and the injured man was immediately brought to the local hospital where the bones were set ' in place. It is reported that his leg is in a bad condition but it is hoped that through good care he will be able to have the use of it again, At the time of this writing Mr. Bastian is resting easily.
