ww7 T MOANING OUEGOMAX, FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1903. 19 MQHI COMING Shearing Will Be General Next Week, Weather Permitting. DATE OF SODAVILLE SALE Eastern Manufacturers Do Not AVrite Encouragingly of the Outlook, but Traders look for Improve ment London Hop 3Iarket. The goatratsers in the vicinity of Sodaville fcave nxe upon April 20 as the day on . hlch they will sell their ool of mohair. As the Pcio pool sale has already been scheduled for the same date, it would be more satisfactory to the mohair buyers if the Sodaville people would s?Iect some other date. Several small shipments of mohair were received yesterday. This Vu probably shorn before the recent storm. Reports from the country yesterday were thatt shearing- had ben resumed In some of the sections, and If the weather continues favorable, shear ing will be general in the coming week. Private letters received from Eastern manufacturers offer no encouragement for better prices. Soma of the largest mills are running on half time and are still heavily stocked with the manufactured article, for which the demand Is unsatisfactory. The latest Isue ol the Boston Commercial Bul letin says: "The Laissez-faire smile of the mohair Sealer has brightened up a little during the past week. Inasmuch as samples of the new clip are beginning to arrive and the human breast Is f cell ng a few of the eternal soring of hope that business may be better soon. It Is" said that the new samples of the Texas Spring clip are showing up re markably well, and dealers feel that they ought to command buyers attention very readily. Business on the local market has been confined to a few bags, but there are reports that certain consumers are looking for bargains in sizable lots, but their offers Tor bargains hae been too low to close any Seals. f "The foreign situation, according to late advices, remains in about the same position 91 in the past two months, demand for fine hairs continuing good.

Result of the Sharp Drop la Coarse Grades at London Auction; In accordance with the pace set at Lon don, where coarse wools declined sharply at the auction, local woolbuyers have re- Suced their prices on Valley wool to IS1 IS cents, according to quality. A rather pessimistic view of the future of the wool market Is taken by dealers, who Insist that sellers will have to come down considerably In their Ideas this year. , Advices received from Arlxona. where the buying movement Is usually In full blast at this time of year with more or less spirited bidding, are that only three buyers were In the field, and as a result practically all the clip wilt be sent East on containment. Jk mall report from Boston notes a dull market for Oregon wools. No sales of grease wuoIn, staple, or clothing were made public. The staple Is about cleaned up and la nom inal. A sale of 800 pounds choice XXXX Hcuured Is reported - at 84 Vic Such wool was bringing TOc last Fait. Jn territories, the business of the week was confined to mail lots, mostly 'clothing and tine me dium, at about the same range of price as provalled In the previous week. Good tine sold on the scoured basis of 60c and tiown to ORe. Sales of 200,000 pounds ai IT to 17V4C,. to cost 08 to 60. and of 7.1,000 pounds of Wyoming fine medium at 18c. also to cost Aft to Oc, are reported. Some 4O.O00 pounds fine brought 0c clean, and consid erable has changed hands at P-6 to 67c for line and 52 to 58a for tine medium. Good Nevada and Montana wools are bringing 60c -coured more readily than previously. A email line of half-blood stuple sold at 22c, the scoured basis being flsured t 6Ac. KV.LIlt MOP THAOK 18 DEPRESSED 1'enr of Licensing Legllatlon Drives Brewers Out of Market. The English hop trade Is beginning to 01 the effect of the proposed saloon re form legislation, and the same uncertainty exists there as In this country, where the prohibition agitation has had such a depres sing rrwt on the hop markut. One of the lariat London hop fir ma, cattley, Orldley & Co., write as folluwa: Tliers la but a small trade doing on the market, and the growing interest and op position to thi proposed legislation Is en aufitng; much of the attention of all con cerned In Uie trade Preparations are being made tu hoid meet) rues or protest and in dignation. It is recognised that the hop isrowing Industry la so severely depressed that even Ills Majesty's government has granted a commission of Inquiry, but the proposed legislation, on the otner hand, will runner depress th industry by crippling the demand. Foreign mantels are unaltered, with suniL'ient home .trade to fairly main tain prices, especially of the better quali ties." Weekly circulars of the English, hop trade tollow: There Is practically noting- doing on our market. Trve government's proposed new licensing legislation is reons.uie for sull lurtner depression tnrougnout me trade, and consumers with, tne uncertainty of their position before them rcluse to add to their fctocka lid, N'oame &. Co., London. The low prices now ruling continue to at tract the attention of consumers, who are quietly covering their immediate require ments, but tnere is no speculation. The dras tic licencing bill is forcing brewer to hold their nanus and buy oniy from hand to mouth. W. H. A H- Le May. London. Business Is almost restricted to email sales of medium qualities out of merchants stocks at about late rates. Inferior lots are neglected, and holders, although willing to accept bids which do not return cost of production, find their hops very difficult to dispose of. J. H. Meredith, A Co., Wor cester. LOCAL ECt QUOTATIONS ARE MI AD ED Business) Done Bel u rea Dralcra on the Bants of 14 V Cents. The egg market is evidently retting ready for another decline. While general quotations were unchanged at 15 to 16 cents, t he latter for single cases and the farmer for large lots, several transactions between dealers were reported on a basis of 14 S cents. Predictions are freely made that the market will go .as low as 12 cents before It recovers. Poultry receipts were larger than usual yesterday and the market was weaker, though no lower. A very active trade Is going on in the butter line and there is no accumulation of city or country creamery. An Increase m the production is looked for from now on. 1RT 1XOK1N STRAWBERRIES ARRIVE Two Crate Jfewrh Front Mr4 and Sell at 4.1 Cent Pound. The first Klrin strawberries of the season rMine in yesterday, a week and a half earlier t "n Iast year. There, wer two crates .of tmm and they sold at I. 75 per crate, or 40 cents a pound. Advices from Florin are of a big berry crop this year. Two cars of or anges arrived and met with the -usual strong demand. The street is well stocked with apples, but they move slowly, owing- to the Increasing supply of rhubarb and other such articles that cut into the fruit demand. Another car of celery was received yester day and a car of mixed vegetables is due today. Small truck was rather scarce on the street and firm pricis prevailed here and in the South. 81 GAR MARKET 13 VERY STRONG. Local Trade Would Not Be Surprised to Receive Word of Advance. The sugar market In the East exhibits decided strength, and prices were advanced there 20 points yesterday.. The Coast position is likewise strong and under normal conditions values would have gone up some4 time ago. Complications between the California and Hawaiian sugar Interests, however, keep the Coast markets unsettled and consequently they are not sympathetically affected by conditions in the Kast. Still the local jobbers would not be surprised to receive announcement any day of an advance. Cheap Eggs In the East, CHICAGO, March 19. The markets of the country, and particularly Chicago, have been flooded during the last few weeks with eggs strictly fresh and ai ' prices that seem fabulously cheap In comparison with the exorbitant charges of a short time ago. Eggs are coming Into Chicago daily at the rate of about SO carload?, which means 64)0,000 dozen, or 7.200,000 eggs. Strictly fresh eggs are selling wholesale at about 15 cents, the lowest price in five years. At re tail the same grade of eggs should be ob tained at not more than SO cents. Wheat Market la Firmer. The wheat market rhowed a firmer tone yesterday and some of the buyers advanced their quotations a cent. This rise, however, like the recent drop, had no effect what ever on holders. Added to the foreign Im provement was a better demand from Cali fornia, said to be due largely to the coast wise steamer strike. Bank Clearings.

REFLECT TRADE REPORTS Rise Is in Progress at the Close of the Session Redaction in the Number of Idle Freight cars Reported. NEW TORK, Marclj 19. The remarkable feature .of today's stock market was the en tire confusion and uncertainty of its action, a reflection to some extent at least of the doubts felt over the actual progress which, has been made towards betterment in af fairs. The reduction yesterday in the Hew Tone Central dividend rate served as a warning- that, if Improvement has set in In the business 'affairs of the country -there are consequences to stockholders of the business contraction which are yet to be faced. It is not that dividend reductions have not been expected, the course of prices showing clearly in many instances that re duced dividends were taken for granted. To day much attention was paid to evidences of necessary cuts in the distribution of profits. The most important Instance came from abroad, the Klo Tlnto Mining Com pany (copper) declaring only 40 shillings, compared with 47 shilling 8 pence for the preceding distribution. The response to the reduction In the offi cial discount rate of the Bank of England from 3V4 to 3 per cent was supgestlve, also, of uncertain speculative temper. Coupled with this prime index of declining money rates and of growing accumulation of idle money came the report from the London market that half of the S10.000.000 Issue of Grand Trunk Pacific debentures remained in the underwriters' hands. Weakness in the London copper market and a rise in the price of refined sugar were incidents of the day. Further reduction In the number of freight cars idle was noted with satisfaction, as was the reported good chance for avoiding m strike in the soft coal mines. Prices of stocks showed small gains at the end of the day, but a rise from the low point of the day continued in the last half hour of the trading. Bonds were easy.

The rate of discount of the Bank of England was reduced today from 3 to S per cent. Beyond causing a feeling of cheerfulness, the announcement of the reduction made little improvement In prices. The reduction for today, making the fifth change since the beginning of the year, caused little surprise on the market, as the bank's large stock of coin and bullion amounts to nearly 40,000,000, and the forthcoming dis tribution of government dividends will have a marked effect on the monetary position, and the retention of a higher rate, therefore, is scarcely justified. Caution, however, was advocated against undue weakening of the market for discounts in view of the weakness of continental exchange on London and ship ments of gold to Paris next week.
