FOREIGN WOOL.
Eastern Oregon, as the greatest
sheep-raising section in the United
States, is deeply interested in the
rise and fall of the wool market.
The conditions that prevail at Bos
ton, or at any of the great wool cen
ters, affect the weal or woe of the
growers in the West. The outlook
for the coming season can hardly he
called bright. A large poition of
last season's clip remains unused in
the eastern warehouses, and the de
mand i3 light.
The only phase of the woolen
industry which is thriving is foieign
importation; the bringing of wool
and woolen goods to this country
goes merrily on, aided by the fos
tering care of the Wilson bill. The
result is as satisfactory in England
as it is not so here, as this comment
from Messrs. Helmuih Schwartz &
Co., a large London concern plainly
shows:
"Messrs. Ilelmuth Schwartz fe Co,
of London comment upon the fact
so well known here, that the United
States in 1895, in addition to the un
precedented imports of raw wool,
also imported 'manufactures of wool
to the extent of over sixty million
dollars as against less than seventeen
million dollars for the preceding
year.'
"This increase in the American
imporU of woolen goods is roughly
calculated as equal to 130,000,000
pounds of raw wool, which is exactly
the amount of the increase in the
world's supply of the year 1895. If
American wool had been used to
manufacture the increased amount of
imported woolens, more than one
half of the entire American clip
would have been consumed in their
production.
"The increase in the imports of
wool, including that used in the
mannfacture of woolens imported in
1895, over the average of the previ
ous four years was over 257,000,000
pounds (a quantity within 37,000,
000 pounds of the American wool
production for . 1895), an . increase
of about 114 per cent The effect of
this extraordinary increase in im-
Dorts UDon American prices is now

Perhaps the best evidence as to
why Wasco county warrants . bring
par would be that of Judge Blakeley
himself. He has often expressed
himself at the clerk's office, and said
that the county clerk, Mr. A. M
Kelsay, is to be credited for warrants
selling at par. It was Mr. Kelsay
who found a market in Portland for
our warrants, when they were selling
at 90 to 95 cents, believing that war
rant holders were entitled to face
value if there was a possible way of
securing it. lie there i ore found
warrant buyers in Portland who
would pay 97 to 98, forcing local
buyers to bid par value for them
