The government, he says, has let large contracts for wool for clothing for thu nrmy and navy at prices averaging sixty cents a pound on the range. It Is thought that this Will be about tho price on Western lungos this season. One clip of Montana Mon-tana wool netted the owner sixty. fty-cu fty-cu nnd a half cents on the range, which probably represents the top of tho inarkot. llestrlctlous on the loivNUlnplimi of lambs have been partly rescinded, according ac-cording to Dr. McClure. nnd us a result re-sult tho eating of lamb Is p.cjrnilUed even on inealles,Turs(luy, until April Hill.
