Regional 1957 Wool Clip Almost All Contracted by Buyers at 55-62 Cents In a flurry of a c t i v i t y l a s h week, wool buying in this area' was brought to a virtual close when all but a couple of clips were contracted by local rep resentatives of Boston firms at prices ranging from 55 to 62 cents per pound. This was 10c to 12c better than the prices obtained for Beaverhead-Madison clips last year. One buyer noted that the early contracting for clips that will not WASHINGTON — Recent de velopments in the nation’s Capitol more clearly indicate that tax cuts next year are not only pos sible but probable. Whether or not the economy drive in Congress continues at the present rate, fiscal experts believe mat there will be a large enough surplus to allow much-needed tax relief to be voted at this session of Congress and to go into effect m subsequent years. Thus far, Congress — economy minded despite some recently de veloped administration opposition — has considered appropriation requests totaling $13 billion, Out of this $13 billion, the House has set its sights on cutting at least $¿00 million.

Most of the regional clip of 1.5 million pounds will go to Boston houses that handle raw wool, but there was a notable demand from “Top-makers” — h o u s e s that handle combed wool. Most of the clip will be shipped from points along the Union Pa cific in Beaverhead county with about 800,000 p o u n d s g o i n g through the local warehouse of Williams Feed and Machinery Company. There is some shipping on the Northern Pacific from Madison county points, also. Local commission men who have been active in buying wool here for the past several weeks include Walter Foster for Nichols & Co.; Sam Ditty for Edgehill- Lukens; Ed Eihlers of Sheridan for National Wool Marketing As sociation; and George M.
