It was a day in which the grower thought he was getting the worst of the proposition and it resulted in the latter, in several in stances, refusing to sell. Early in the season the buyers were running after and urging the growers to sell: now it looks as if the opposite would be the case. Some of the growers who had listed their clips to be placed on the market this week have pulled them off. owing to the decline and will wait for future developments before they make the attempt. The buyers contend that they have been paying too high prices all along and that they are consequently forced to come down a notch or two. But the notches have come down rather sudden for the growers and they can not under stand it. It is believed by some of the growers that too much wool is being put up daily. If the number of clips were reduced so that the amount would not look so large it is thought that better prices would be recorded. W. A. Hedges of Yale, who refused to sell his clip of 84.000 pounds last Mon day at a bid of 11 cents, has shipped the same to Denny, Rice & Co. of Boston on his own order. The Fort Beuton market so far leads the state this season, both as to the highest price paid and the largest sales for one day. Last Monday the total sales aggregated 1,100,000 pounds and the top figure reached was 15,4 cents, realized for the These Bros.' clip of 60.000 pounds. Jeremiah Williams & Co. were the buyers. The big clip of the Benton Sheep com pany, weighing between 200,000 and 300,000 pounds, was cut into two. as two buyers bid the same price, 15is cents and they agreed upon a division, rather than follow the usual custom in such cases---deciding by lot who shall get the lot. John T. Murphy sold two clips at Fort Benton last Monday. One was last sea son's. weighing 50.000 pounds, for which he received 14j5 cents. The price re ceived for the new lot was not made public. Wolfolk & Richardson sold their clip of 96.000 pounds on the Billings market last Monday and it is stated that the price paid was 15 cents. A Great Falls special to yesterday's Helena Record says: The wool market opened firm in this city today, and re mained active throughout the session. The competition among buyers was strong. and nearly every clip received bids from every buyer present. The to tal amount of wool which changed hands was 563,000 pounds. The lowest price paid was 11.cents, for a very poor clip of 3,000 pounds. The highest price paid exceeded the highest paid yesterday by one-eighth of a cent, and was realized by J. Towne on a clip of 40,000 pounds, which was purchased by Jeremiah Wil liams & Co. at 15:3" cents. Sales in Billings. G. F. Workof Livingston, 4,000 pounds to Nichols, Dupee & Co., at 13!,, cents.

She was the wife of a nobleman who lived in his castle in the south of France. She and her husband were outwardly on the most loving terms. Not a care cloud seemed to cast a shadow on her path. After hearing the story of her afflict ed friend the noble lady took her bT the hand and led her to a secret chaim ber adjoining her bedroom, there open ed the door of a closet and exposed a skeleton.
