19 THE MORMXG OK1SGOMAS, ITESDAY. APIUL 13, 1910. MOHAIR GOING DP Oregon Market Is Steadily Advancing. AS HIGH AS 281-2 CTS- PAID Sharp Competition Between Mult nomah MI118 and Eastern Buy . era I Fine Tiling for Growers of State. fha Oregon mohair market continue to climb. The general quotation yesterday was 7H cents a flound and there were report that 28 f cents had been paid for fancy lota Belling- was not general, either by farmers or country merchants. While the mohair market In the East has a good, healthy undertone ther-a is llttli doubt but that the rapid advance In prices here has been due rather to the competition that exists between the buyers for the new Multnomah mohair mills and the represen tatives of the old Eastern mills. But for the entry of the local company in the Held, It Is i very likely that prices would not b- as high as they are now. Whether the sharp advance was occasioned olely by the desire of the different parties in the fight to secure active supplies, or re sults from one side trying to run the mar ket up on the other is not clear, but the fact remains that the farmers are getting a very fine price for their clip and they can rightly assign as the oau for this the es tablishment of the new local mill. In former years, the Eastern manufac turers have made their purchases through local dealers and agents. They are doing so In a degree this year, hut It Is worth noting that there are now in the city four or five Eastern mill men, some of whom have been here for several weeks. Hereto fore they have not thought It worth while to come to Oregon in the buying season and they would probably not be here now had not a local mill been built. Whether r not the market will continue to advance Is a question. According to dealers, the current price Is above a parity with the Eastern market, yet a good many of the growers think Oregon mohair will so to 80 cents or better before It stops. The largest single lot of mohair in th State Is In the Dallas pool, which will be old at auction Saturday. It contains about 75,000 pounds. Other smaller pools are be ing made up at Eddyville, Hillsboro and other places, and they will be disposed of later. No business .has been done in valley wool yet, aa shearing has scarcely begun. In Eastern Oregon shearing is general, but the market has not opened. About 600,000 pounds of Washington wool have been sold to date, principally in Yakima territory The prices paid there ranged from 14 to 16 cents.

OFFERINGS ARE SMALL Change in Sentiment Follows An nouncement That Supreme Conrt Reassigns Trust Cases " for Argument, .NEW YORK. Anril 11. There was a sud- en spasm of activity in the stock market oday upon the announcement of a reas- tnmest for argument before the Supreme Court of the American Tobacco and Stand ard Oil cases. TTie buying of Mocks was hurried and urgent and' at rapidly advancing quotations. That it rame larcelv from uncovered shorts wss obvious, the professional bears having old stocks In the early dealings on a ru nm that a Hruinn HvmA to the American Tobacco Compaoy-would bs handed down to day. This mood of tne speculation nau aeeravated by the iDeech of the Attorney- General in Chicago Saturday night and by the Intention there announced to extend the cope of Government prosecution or corpo rations to the bituminous coal combination, and. lnferentlallv. to others. There was the additional consideration that the reopening of the two leading anti trust cases Implied a balance of opinion in the court itself that left the members un satisfied to promulgate a decision in cases of such wide scope and Importance. The delay which must now occur in reaching a final decision in the cases was accepted as a measure of rel ief from the condition of suspense which the weekly expectation of a possible decision haa held over the stock market. For those who have held that the immediate suspense of this question has been a repressive lmiuence on enter prise, the changed condition was- regarded hopefully. Other considerations were sub merged by the Importance attached to the new position ot tne anti-trust cases. itiaaing ror siocks to test tne marxei revealed a small floating supply of offer ings. The drooping tendency of grain and cotton prices gave force to favorable augur ies of the crops. Interest rates for time loans were ad vanced again, and call loan sates started the week at 3 -per cent, influenced by both the bank statement of Saturday and the be lief that further gold engagements would be made for this week's steamer. The fact that the Bank of England secured the bulk of the South African gold arriving in Lon don without competition bore on the - situa tion. The statement of agricultural exports for March showed an increase in value, but a falling off ir amount of cotton exports com pared with March last yar, which served to alter the discrepancy from the normal flour export trade, which has been glaring for many months. The tone of the bond market continued Irregular, but there was aomo Improvement at some points. Total sales, par value, 2.- 275.0W. united State bonds were un changed on call.
