From all polnts in the West where sheep- raising hus received attention comes the en- couraging news that the wool and mation Ine terests are experiencing unprecedented prose perity, There Is certainly a general revival inthe trade, and there is niso a growing tendency to improve the tloeks. Amerteant wool now competes with that of other coune tries, and while it Is doubtful that this coun: try cin this year supply the demand of home constuners, the faet that a foreign market fats been made for Ainertean woul will spur breeders to renuweu exertions. Lb ts estl- mated that there will be a shortage this year Jn thy aggregate wookerop of this coun iry of about, 180,000,000 pounds, of whieh California, ‘Pexas, aml New Mexieo will prohanty furnish about 40,000,000, ‘Che re- nndnder of this hminense shortage will there. fore have to come from tho stoeks on hand of growers .atd dealers, Who have stored a very large quantity: wilh a hope of higher prices. Tt isnot belle! however, that there is in store enough wool to supply the adelleteney, and the demmnds of home manne facttrers Will therefore necessitate a very portation of foreign woul before the sterop cn be marketed, in view of this fact It is not surprising that okt flocks are belay Ine dd, and thie miny new ones are being foun Noung bins succeeded tn aecounting for the pathy whieh has existed In the sheop trade for many Yeurs ysl, eXceplL upon the hy- pothesis that the average stovckman his been nimble ste it prolit. axeepy in (he business of brocding and feeling eattl and to this end the best enoregles of nin tenths of the breedess of the country have heen deveted.
