The Com mercial, Bulletin of Boston will say of the wool market tomorrow: '"The market Is a bit slower this week than It was In January. Fine and half blood wools have been In chief demand, with the latter grade most keenly sought. Medium wools are firm but In less eager demand Woolen wools move moderately well at generally steady prices. "Foreign primary markets have been very firm and In Australia and lNew ."ad a bit higher, apparently, on account of Japanese war-buying. London closed with values very firm, especially on fine cross breds. "Demand for women's wear fabrics Is continuing moderately good, al though men's wear lines are still rather slow. The piece goods market Is hardly so active and rather spotty. The Bulletin will publish the fol lowing quotations: Scoured basis: Oregon: Fine and f. m. staple 64-56; fine and f. m.

Trading quickened but moderately. tho turnover aggregating 1,200,000 shares, but not losses of 2 to more than 6 points were numerous. The closing tone was weak. The approach of price averages to the bear market lows made traders extremely cautious, for If the mar- kot falls to meet support at those levels, chart readers will look for con tinuance of the decline.

TODAY AND SATURDAY f Butter Prices 6 Cents Below w . y 1 me 4 j -nine strewn De made a major I Glir AffO JuGVCllhlghWtty proJect and Improvements PORTLAND, Feb. 6 W) Price of butter Is strong at this period in spots only with no change In the range for recent days. The price Is 6c lb. below the level of a year ago for this same date and the price last year was unusually low for the per iod. Attention Is called at the moment to two causes for this further dip In the price of butter throughout the United States. Increased production together with decreased demand, are factors which, tend to hold down val ues. Latest report of the chief distribu tive interests indicate this unusual condition generally. Land Oiakes as sociation report showed an Increase of 4.23 per cent for the week ending January 30 while the American Creamery association showed a loss of 1.10 per cent and the Pacific slope states production decreased 1.38 per cent. As compared with a year ago the Land O'lakcs association pro duced 7.70 per cent more, the Am erican Creamery association 6.01 per cent more and the Pacific slope 3.33 per cent more. Egg market trade conditions con tinue mostly steady. This applies to practically all leading markets of the country. Local receipts continue af fected by weather conditions. There Is a rather queer state of affairs in the market for chickens. While killers continue to talk lower prices to producers and have stopped the movement somewhat, some of them have advanced the selling price on dressed stock because of this. Market for turkeys continues to reflect a very slow demand except at further reduction In the already low record price. Twenty cents con tinues about the general top selling price to retailers. i There Is a generally strong trade in country killed calves. Lamb market is also very favorable while the bet ter grade hogs are moving well. Cows not so good. Thero is a great shortage of car rots on the local market. Even Cali fornia stock Is short but a small ship ment Is duo for the weekend to be priced around $4 per 6-dozen crate. There Is still a moderate run of smelt In tho Columbia with the big school still unwilling to move over to the Washington side. Sales continue mostly $1.25 box of 50 lbs. Shortage of fresh spinach contln s. The carload of Imperial valley stock received Thursday sold quickly at $3.60 for 40s. Carload of Texan is due Saturday to sell around $1.00 for 20s. I Notes of wholesale trading: Potato trade almost stagnant at tho source. No snap here. Onion market is steady with sales held back by adverse weather. 1 Steclhead salmon Is very scarce and quoted nominally. ' j Oyster market Is weak but with no i further price changes. Cheeso sales are gaining; especially tho Oregon Swiss. Slightly higher prices being named for fresh arrivals of California sprouts and artichokes. POTATO MARKET CORVALLIS. Oro., Feb. 6 W) Klamath potatoes at San Francisco showed the only rise in Friday's quo tations on terminal markets, accord ing to today's markctgram released by the O. S. C. extension service co operating with the U. S. D. A. bur eau or agricultural economics. The top price on Klamaths was up five cents. Trading was weaker at Chi cago and about steady on the coast whllo all shipping markets were dull. Patents Only on Tuesdays Patents are granted by the United States patent oil Ice on Tuesday only.

SPAULDING IN VERBAL TILT OVER BONDS (Continued From Page One) commission would borrow the money for six months to carry on the work, It will bo necessary to got tho money In the oast, he said. Spuuldlng Votes "No" Although no vote on the 20-foot highway proposal for widening the Eastslde Pacific highway was taken, Spnuldmg announced ho wanted to vote no. He said ho did not favor changing tho action which had pre viously indicated a three-lane or 30- foot road would be the program. Alns- worth replied ho had the privilege of I voting, but since a 20-foot highway hnd to bo built before a 30-foot high way, no change would result. The Salem project was announced yester day as part of the 1032 program, as a result of tho conference between Commissioners Alnsworth and Wil liam Hanley with. Governor Meier re cently. Tho commission assured Morton Tompkins, of Dayton, who headed Boys' CORDUROYS With a New Feature THE "Safety Pocket" Quickly and Easily Opened or Closed with the Famous Talon Slide Fastener $2.95 was mode by Spuuldlng to the "sec ' j ret session" held by the governor with , (Atncworth and Commissioner William T -t" j Hanley. Alnsworth announced that 1W lOVK iStGVP aovemor J""" Meier had Issued mi ultimatum that no super highway iMIMMHHM projects would be constructed this year, J Westsld Pacific delegation, that survey of the Wallace road from West 1 Balem to Dayton would be made as soon as possible. Morton requested provided for immediately. The Wal lace road would connect with the highway to Portland at Dayton, and wnen completed would be a mile shorter from Salem to Portland than over the eastslde route, he said Lane County Succeeds The Lane county delegation, head ed by Judge Charles p. Barnard, was successful In securing port of Its sec ondary nignway xuntt for use on market roads during the next three months. Barnard asked for $30,000 for that period to complete work now under way and at the same time give some relief to the 1443 unem ployed In that county. Lane countv's share of secondary highway funds for tne next year was estimated at 975,- uuu. Representatives from each of the five counties In the Northwest Coun ties Development association, all unr- Ing a larger allocation of state hlglu way funds to Multnomah county and neighboring counties to the west, were heard by the commission. The speakers headed by W. P. Woodward. stated that in the past Multnomah, uonunma, Clatsop, Washington and Tillamook county had paid 43 per cent of the highway money, but had received only 12 per cent of the funds and bIx per cent of the high way mileage. Securing of the Fourth street right of way for extrance of the West Side highway into Portland, and some work on that project this year, was aiso urged by the delegation repre senting Portland. The commission announced It was unable to do any thing on the right of way matter, which A ins worth said would betaken care of by the city and county. No assurance of work on tho project this year was given by the commission, Linn Asks More Funds ljinn county's request for more funds to continue clearing the nine miles of the South Santlam highway east from Trout creek was put over until the next meeting. Judge D. O. Wentworth, of Albany, said that the county had enough work ahead until the middle of March on this project. In reply to other delegations In re gard to secondary highway work the commission .announced It would ad vertise some projects at the next few meetings. Local contractors would be given an, opportunity to bid on these projects through their respec tive counties. Local labor on second ary highway Jobs would be specified in the bids, it was decided. More Groups In Waiting Consideration of ' unemployment conditions, outlining the 1032 pro gram, and discussion of reduction In administrative costs were again de layed until later by hearing of dele-; gations. More groups are still to be heard before the commission sold It would be able to "get down to real business. Thn AMtnlnn nHII rw m. sumcd this afternoon, with prospects! it will be continued tomorrow, it was! announced. ' In announcing the two projects yes terday, the commission voiced .i change In policy regarding an Im proved highway from Salem to Port land. Instead of a three-lane high way, the hard surfaced section will be widened only from 16 feet to 20 feet, but the crown of the road will be taken down, and ten-foot should ers placed on each side. . Tho portion to be Improved will start from the north city limits of Salem to a point between Brooks and Oervais. The commission has 125, 000 available for this project, and will coll for bids In the late spring. The cutoff from New Era to North Canby will shorten the road by 1700 feet and eliminate several bad curves. Consideration of requests of dele gations from virtually every part of the state, all seeking either surveys of projects or construction, consumed most of the commission's time yes terday, i Urges Timber Bridges A. W. Norblad, president of tho Oregon Coast Highway association, supported by a large delegation as well as by Colonel W. B. Greeley, Se attle, manager of the West Coast Lumberman's association, mode a plea : for timber bridges, urging Immediate construction of the five spans nec essary to complete the Oregon coast highway. The commission voiced sympathy with the move and Indl- 'cated possibly one of the bridge would be Included In the 1032 program. Assurances that the west side Pa- clfic highway would bo given the same consideration as the east Bide highway and an announcement that the Rex hlU section of the road would remain unchanged this year, wore given delegations along that route. A larger ferry between Reeds port and Gardner was promised the delegations from those two points. A preliminary survey of the 38 miles between Antelope and Mitchell in the John Day valley, was ordered following this request from Eastern Oregon delegations. Consideration was also promised In relocating and modernizing portions of the upper Columbia river highway.
