THE MORNING OREGOXIAX. SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 190S. 17 MOHAIR POOL SALES Largest Lot in State Will Be Sold at Dallas April! 7. SCIO AUCTION APRIL 20 Shearing Begins in. the Valley Av erage Clip Is Kstlnjatcd Con dition of Ka stern and Vorelgn Markets. Goat shearing: has begun In some of the favore-d localities In th Willamette Valley, at will not be general for about two week It is impossible to estimate the vise of the mohair clip, though the buyers hire look tor a yield of the average mm. An opening' price of 25 cents a pound is be ing talHdof- . The usual method of disposing of the hair at auction will he followed, and pools will be made up in the principal mohair section. The first date fixed for a pool rale In April 17 at Dallas, where the largest lot in the state wilt be offered to the hhrhest bidder. The Scio growers will hold their sale at that place on April 20. Regarding the Bastem mohair market, the latest issue of the Boston Commercial Bulletin says: "The hair of the little animal called the 'moe" Is stllK in the warehouse, with the exception of the very small amount which a few mills are using. It is reported that two lots of domestic combing aggregating 70,000 pounds have been offered on the ipar fcet at about 28 cents, but no sale was effected. - For some of this same lot. it is pnderatood that an offer of HI cents was refused last Fall. The foreign situation remains -strong, especially on fine lines. This fact lends some encouragement to the lm:al situation.' The Bulletin quotes Boston prices as fol lows: Domestic Combine. 28 3 &c; carding, choice. 24$2Kc; carding, average, 20fc23c; inferior. 1.1 41.20c; tops, 40c; noils, first comb ings, IT 2c ; noils, second combings, 21 ease.

According to the latest mall reports from the Boston market, no important transactions In Oregon wools have been made public. The stock on hand there is not large. No. 1 East ern staple is offered on the Boston market at 22c to 2Gc. For territory wools the market Is still un settled and a variety of price are mentioned em melng obtained on actual sales. Some deal ers report no good wools selling at less than CV clean and that they are getting from that rate up to 60c for fine. Sales of tine and fine medium Montana are reported on the scoured bap!s of Xc to 61o and Idaho wool recently old to cost "T''jC. gales of fine medium Utah have been made at 55c within the past ten daya On the other hand there are reports of bupineets at 5-c to 53c and that buyers are looking for a fiuc market are long. About 130.000 pounds 'staple medfem have been transferred and the scoured coat Is placed at about OOo by the Heller. A line of 50.000 pounds choice Utah fine and fine medium has changed hands on the scoured basis of 60c. Amid the variety of price the fact shines) out that the market favors buyers and, while the hope la entertained that bottom has been touched, there are no sure Indications that euc-h la the fact. Advices from Phoenix. Ariz., report the new clip is moving slowly and largely on con signment. Growers are loth to accept the fclda mibmltted. , A few ?alea are reported at 14C tO KV. EXTORT MOVEMENT IN HOPS. Jarobsen Iot at- McMtnnville Bought for Clem floret. Activity continues in the hop market, with most of the buying for the export trade. Among the transactions report M yesterday was the purchase by "V. J. Bishop of the Jneobsen lot of 183 bales at McMInnvillo at HHc. They were bought for B. O. Horst. A. IVolf & fons bought 240 bates of olds in tho Sitverton section at lc. The latent circular letter of Cat t ley, Grid ley aV Co., of London, says: 'The uncertainty of legislation which is promised in the near future, and the fac that terewera are fairly well stocked, tend to keep the market quiet, and, except for really pc il samples, there i rather more desire to realist on the part of growers. Stocks, how eer, tre not large' for the time of year, and the general currency being so low the specu lative element will, as uual, apsert itarlf and prevent much further decline, pending the Summer trade and protpect of the coming crop. Foreign markets are tinner, and Pacific Oa?t shipments do not an yvt interfere with the range of 111 Mi values." TABLE POTATOES FOR 8KBO PURPOSES Cavil formia Farmer IV ant Only the Beat This Year. A fw orders from California for seed potatoes are in the market and are being filled. The Southern demand this year Is for table potatoes only, and the small po tatoes heretofore ued for this purpose are not wanted. Buyers are paying 5.1 cents for g-vd seed tock and for extra fancy lots are offering 60 cents. The California demand for eed potaroes is not likely to be as heavy this season as usual, as most of the Cali fornia planters are using their own seed. The onion -market is very quiet. The few car left; ! growers hands are firmly held. The :M sacks of Japanese onions brought on the Kumantfa will be unloaded at Alaska dock today. They will probably be offered at a higher price than was announced yes terday, owing to the strength of the mar ket. CREAMERY BUTTER ACCUMULATES Oood Northern Demand fur Egg!-Chicken Prtoce Firm. Butter holds very steady with the city creameries, but on Front street the supply is inclined to accumulate, and the feeling in that section is weaker. Receipts and shipments of eggs are still about even and this Isolde ln price steady. Seattle continues to buy eggs for shipment to Alaska but when the movement over the tee ceases and until river navigation opens, there will be no Northern demand and prices are then likely to be at their lowest. In the poultry market chickens are very firm with sales at 14 and 15 cents. Other fowls are not In active demand. Vegetables and Fruit Slew. There waa not much snap to the fruit and vegetable trade at any time yesterday. Re ceipts consisted of one car each of celery, cauliflower, sweet potatoes and mixed vege table. Except for asparagus, which was quoted lower at 25 certs, prices generally were well maintained. The market Is clean ing up well on oranges and not many cars are rolling. Ceenlng Development Jo Prune Market. Something Is going to happen in the prune market, according to U L. Gray, of the Fresno Home Packing Ompanr. who t now in New York and who said to a reporter ot a trade paper: "This article will bear watching. There will be some developments in a ahort time that will make people here and on the Coast sit up and take notice. The market is In good shape on the Coast, aa the small and weak holders have beed eliminated and-stocks how are in cloer comnas-. ad ripe everybody to watch -prunes."- Mr. Gray deolined to indicate the precise nature of the pending development.

BUT BUYERS ARE CAUTIOUS Vncertainty as to Prices Checks Im provement in Some Lines Bet . ter Tone in the Iron and . Steel Industry. NEW YORK, March . Bradfitreefff to morrow will say: ... Distributive trade shows growth from week to week as the Spring season approaches, and the tone of trad, as a whole, is more op timistic, but despite the large number of buy era in evidence at leading markets, do char acter of the business done does not vary from that hitherto. Conservative buying, largely of staples, is the rule, and the uncertainty as to prices in many lines acta as a check to fullest activity. This la especially mani fest in some lln-a, as for instance cotton goods, where prices have befn of late sharply reduced, without, however, evoking the in terest expected. In few, if any, cases are comparisons with a year ago satisfactory, and a number of measures of monthly trade and industrial movement point to shrinkage of 25 per cent or more. Collections are still widely complained of, and In this direction reports are no better than are the advices as to volume of business doing. Retail trade does not quicken greatly, although large centers show special efforts put forth to stimulate buying,- either of Win ter goods at 'concessions or of new Spring season fabrics. The reports received from the leading indus tries are still conflicting. The iron and steel Industry unquestionably has a. better tone, and the outjiut of pig iron in February, a ehort month, seems to have slightly exceeded that of January, although falling far behind a year ago. Raw wool is moving only at concessions and the lumber trade is very quiet. Business failure" for the . week ending March 5 number 287, against 254 last week, 172 in the like week of 1007, 177 In no, 1W in 1906 and 200 In 1004. Canadian fail ures for the week number 43, against 35 last week and 21 in the like week of lfto7. Wheat, including flour, exports from the United States and Canada for the week end ing March 5 aggregated 2.053,008 bushels, against 2.251,303 this week last year. For the 30 weeks of the fiscal year the exports are 159.004,166 bushele, against 123,924,065 in 19OO-07. GROWTH OF CONFIDENCE IN TRADE Advancing Season Contributes to the Better Feeling. NEW YORK, March 0. R. G. Dun & Co.'a weekly review of trade will say: Favorable symptoms axe numerous in the commercial outlook, especially in respect to the growth of confidence. Jobbers note more 'pressure to replenish depleted stocks of staple merchandise, orders in imany . cases being for delivery next Fall. The advancing season has also contributed to the better feeling by accelerating the distribution of Spring goods and stimulating Interest in the building trades. Industrial plants are more active, pig iron production rising to the best weekly average in three months. Credits are still closely scanned and mer cantile collections are by no mesne sa'fstfac tory. yet payments are more prompt and the volume of business is distinctly heavier. There ia a feeling of permanence of the steady improvement In the steel and iron in dustry that would be lacking were -recovery more sensational. Bank Clearings. NEW YORK. March 6.

Prices Cannot Be Moved Far Either Way Inflow of Currency to . the Central Banks. NEW YORK, March 6. The desultory op erations of the habitual trading element con tinued to make up the stock market today, and those operations originated almost ex clusively within the four walls of the Stock Exchange. The efforts of the bear element to discover weak points earlier in the week having failed to cause any effective liquida tion, the professionals have been 'more in clined to take the long side. As the floating supply of stocks is scanty, the buying by the traders is effective in advancing prices1 and prices are held so long as they hold the stocks they hare bought. The Harrlman Pacincs were conspicuous features when prices were-advancing, wltnout regard to the poor showing made by the January report of net earnings of both com panies. Heavy declines in gross earnings had no offset in either case in the cutting down of operating cost, which showed a small In crease to be added to the gross decrease for effect on the net earnings. . The appointment of a receiver for the West ern Maryland a subsidiary Gould line, fol lowing the receivership for & Texas lne, caused inevitable depression in other stocks of that group and even more in some of the bonds. The Incident was of little general in fluence, however, although discussion of the prospects of some minor railroad properties with a small margin of earnings continued un favorable, i . St. Paul was helped by the confident views attributed to its president over the prospects of the company's Pacific Coast extension. The estimates of the week's currency move ment indicated a gain of -something like $5,000,000 on balance from the Interior since the last bank statement. The renewal of the Inflow to the central banking reserves must be accepted as a reflection of unrelieved dullness fn interior trade. The week's exports of wheat have fallen off 1,290,000 bushels and of corn 1,000.000 bushels, compared with last week. The almost total stagnation of the later stock market caused but little yielding in the price level. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value. $1,654,000.

Wheat opened weak and with the exception of two or three mild ralllea due to covering: by ebons, continued weak all flay. The depression was chiefly caused by foreign news of a bearish charac ter.

NEW YORK, March e.-harged with the theft ot jewels valued at $20,000 from one' of her wealthy friends, Mrs. Jeanette Ncwmann, who lives at the Stratford House, this city, was locked up at police headquarters today. The police say Mrs. Newmann has made a full confession and told them she was actuated by her desire to keep her young son in a private si hool and to maintain her own social position. The Jewels were owned by Mrs. Kvelyn Bell, who lives in West Central Park, and also has a home at Port Chester. Mrs. Newcann was introduced to Mrs. Bell last October by a mutual friend at the Bell home In Port Ches ter, and after that was a frequent caller. After several of these calls Mrs. Bell missed articles of Jewelry, among; them a valuable ruby ring, a diamond ring and a diamond horse shoe. The horseshoe and several smaller pieces of Jewelry disappeared after Mrs. Bell had returned to her home in the city. . In each instance Mrs. Newmann had been at the house just before the jew els were missed. When the horseshoe disappeared, two detectives met Mrs. Newmann at the Bell home and requested her to accompany them to her room at the end of the hotel, and she readily complied. There the two detectives kept Mrs. Newmann under constant fire from ye terday afternoon until 2 o'clock this morning without gaining a single ad mission from her. Finally, she told them that if they would permit her to confer with her lawyer she might have some thing to say. The lawyer was called, and a little later -Mrs. Newmann went to a closen In the room, got a suit case, and from it took 20 pawn tickets, which she told them represented the articles which had dis appeared from Mrs. Bell's home. She said she had been forced to take the Jewels to keep her boy In school and to keep up appearances herself. When Mrs. Newmann was arraigned in Police Court she gave her name as Jane Orton. She was released on $2000 bail. Read Sharkey's Sunday ad. Of all varieties permsnently cares U s few days without a surgical operation or detention from bustnesa.
