21 xttti MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, EXPEGTLQWERVOOL Eastern Buyers Think Tariff Change Will Affect Market. MAY DELAY CONTRACTING Dealers Want the Matter Settled So Thejr Will Know What to Pay, Matter of Great Interest to the Flockmasters of Oregon. Political conditions will play an Impor tant part in the Oregon wool market next Spring. Expecting a change In the tariff. the dealers are already figuring on buying the new clip on a lower basis. The re markable cleanup of old stocks cuts no fig nre In the situation. according to their iews. Whether or not these things will happen. It is likely the market before shearing time will not be active. Buyers w ill not be disposed to enter Into contracts until they know what Congress will do with the "tariff. Commenting on the new clip outlook, the Boston Transcript says: "Naturally the political situation, parties larly the likelihood of a special session of Congress being called immediately after the Inauguration of the new Administra tion. March , attracts considerable atten tlnn. As the stocks of old wools in this market - diminish, dealers are paying more attention to the possibility of buying the clip of 201.1 on a reasonable basis. In view of the tariff oatlook, the prices must be considerably lower than those of last year. 80 the wool trade feels that, as some change in the tariff appears to be assured, the sooner the extent of the changes is known the better It will be for their In trrests. "While some faith is placed In the good intentions of the President-elect, less confidence is felt in the radical Democratic leaders, who appear to be In full control In the House. "Leading factors, therefore, feel that It would be of advantage if the tariff question should be considered at a special session called for that purpose. One advantage would be the aid It would afford In getting primary markets adjusted to the changed conditions. The buying of the domestic wool clip on the right basis Is a matter of tremendous importance to Boston's trade. Owing to the uncertainty, there Is likely to be less contracting of the new-clip wool than for a number of years.' IULLNKSS IN ATX GRAIN LINES Wheat Offerings Nominal and Price l'n rhanged Oats fold at fie. The local wheat market yetserday was decidedly inactive.

COOS RECORDER IS CHARY Official Refuses to Register AVomen on Authority of Olcott. MARSHFIELD. Or., Nov. 20. (Spe cial.) Women are t vote at the city election which will be held in Decem ber, when a City Recorder, Councilmen and several other officers are to be se lected. Mrs. A. H. Stutsman, a local real estate dealer, took the initiative and applied to City Recorder Butler to be registered. The City Attorney was out of the city and the Recorder re fused to register a woman voter until e had the opinion of the Attorney as to whether or not it would be legal at this time. Mrs. Stutsman then telegraphed to the Secretary of State, who wired back that the woman suffrage measure was In effect and that the women could be registered. Armed with the telegram and backed by a dozen other women of the city, Mrs. Stutsman again applied to the City Recorder, but was again re fused on the ground that he could not act without first hearing from the City Attorney. The latter returned to the lty and gave ais c pinion that the women could be registered. The women -who are most enthusi astic are urging their indifferent sis ters to register and it is likely that quite a number of .o Marshfield women will have a voice in the selection of the city officials next month.

The first of a five-car shipment of steel rails for the Harvey Mill Com pany at Etna has arrived and is being placed on the river bank for transpor tation to the mill by the steamer Etna. In all there will be 15 cars shipped to the mill, the shipments being in five- car installments. The company will put in about seven miles of logging rail road before completion of the work. The Drummer, a gasoline launch owned and operated by T. N. Hulett, has commenced her trips to La Center and way points, bringing cream for the Miller-Pease Company, of Seattle. She can operate only about eignt montns out of the year on account of low wa ter. ' Woodland experienced a severe wind storm for a few moments early last night and signs, shingles, umbrellas, hats and small loose articles were mixed up in profusion. The damage was slight. A new French automobile Is llBht enough to -be picked up and carried by the two men it will accommodate. The manufacturers of bitulithic paving insist that it be kept up to the stan dard which is the result of scientific experiment, by tests made every hour while the work is in progress. That's the secret of its uniform perfection.
