T THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, AFKIL 1, 1904. lo MOHAIR IS LOWER Market Has Opened at Thirty to Thirty-One Cents. NO LARGE SALES MADE YET Demand Not Equal to That of Last Year-Oregon Clip Will Amount to 350,000 Pounds--Salmon Demand Is Increasing. The inohalr market is opening, Tmt at lower prices than prevailed last year. Portland quotations are 3031 cents Tor choice and cheaper grades lower In proportion. Mohair will be bought and sold this year according to qualitj'. No large transactions have been made yet, but buyers are offering 2029! cents in the country. The lower opening prices are due to the decreased demand. Mohair, as an article of dress goods, 1b not in fashion this year. Dress go is and felt goods factories, which hereto fore have been good purchasers, are out of tho market thla season and practically all the mohair that will be sold will so to the plush manufacturers. One cause of the high prices prevailing last year was tho keen competition between dealers who bid up prices until they were above a parity with tho East. Conse quently most of the traders in this state lost money on the season's operations. Indications point to a mohair clip in Oregon this Spring of about 330.000 pounds, practical ly the same as last year. An increase in production would have been the natural re sult of the increase in tho flocks, had not many .goats been shipped to Montana and "Wyoming in the past year. The bad weather also operated against saving the usual number of kids. Consequently last year's yield is ex pected to be duplicated. First Wool Tool Sale PENDLETON', Or., March 31. The first salesday of the wool season in Pendleton will be May 28, at which time all of the wool then Ctored in the warehouses of the city will be sold, or at least offered for sale. The buyers will then swing to Heppner, and from there to Shaniko, a few days elapsing between each eale. It is predicted by the buyers and the growers that the sales this year will be heavier than those of last year. rOBTLAND MARKETS. Grain, Hour, reed.

Southern Iron mak ers, well filled as they are with orders until well toward July, have been taking a moder ate additional tonnage, says the Iron Age. on the basis of $10 for No. 2 foundry. Birming ham. Some occasional sales, however, arc still being made at $9.75. It is the Northern makers who have been taking a relatively larger amount of orders lately, the whole mar ket being decidedly firmer, both on foundry and forge pig iron. The whole Eastern Iron trade is watching with keen interest the developments In the filling of the contracts of casting for the Pennsylvania tunnel. Some low prices are being talked of. . Bessemer pig in the Central West, is firm and the product Is being freely taken. Next week will decide whether the option on 40,000 tons additional metal will be availed of by the United States Steel Corporation. Quite a tonnage of low phosphorus pig iron, aggre gating at least 10.000 tons, has been sold by furnace men In Eastern Pennsylvania to cast ing plants for delivery. In one case as far as Ohio and In another case as far as the Boston district. The sales have been at pricca equivalent to $18.50 and $18.75 at Philadelphia. The car and locomotive builders are getting occasional .good orders, and the prospect is brighter in that direction. In structural material the more favorable outlook is clouded by labor troubles in New York. Metal Markets. NEW YORK. March 31.

New' York Financiers Watch Foreign Exchange Situation With Interest-Holidays Affect Trading. NEW TORK, March 31. Tho suspension of two truBt companies, ne In Cleveland and one In Boston, had a somewhat chilling effect on speculation today. The pendency of tomor row's Good Friday holiday was hailed as a motive for some curtailment of operations and today's Jewish holiday of the Passover was also the occasion of some absence from the stock: exchange. These were tho nominal causes of the decided falling off in activity and the rather heay tone of speculation. There were indications, however, that specu lative sentiment was affected by some reac tion from the strength of the early part of the week. The denials given to rumors of pur chase of Union Pacific by St, Paul and to other reports which have been circulated on the exchange were reinforced in their reac tionary tffect by the large distribution of stocks' which was effected during the rise of yesterday and by he cessation of much of the demand today. The suspension cf the trust companies eeemed due to special causes rather than to any general conditions, and so were of little direct Influence on the market. There were polntfl of strength In the market, but they were exceptions rather than the rule. Interest grows In the foreign exchange situ, atlon and the coming outward movement of gold, which Is expected to run to many mil lions of dollars and. In the opinion of some exchange experts, may reach the amount of the remittance to be made to Paris on ac count of the Panama canal payment. It Is be lieved that any accumulation of bills which may have been made for this purpose has been working off at the profitable rates ruling in the market, so that provision for the purpose re mains to be made The exchange rate today was at the point where gold shipments would show a margin of profit, but owing to lack of shipping facilities, no gold is likely to go out until next week, when it is ex pected several millions will be shipped. The present abnormal ease of money In New Tork is undoubtedly due in part to the accumula tion held of Government deposits in prepara tion for the Panama canal payment. With conditions in the exchange market as at pres ent, it is not probable that when the pay ment is made the proceeds will remain in New York. The effect on the market will be watched with interest. In Paris, Berlin and London the quarterly requirements for April 1 are extraordinarily heavy, as revealed by this week's reports of the great foreign banks. But with the turn of the quarter, a large reflux of funds to the circula tion is looked for, with riultlng effect on money rates which may modify the pressure upon New York for gold. The domestic move ment of currency appears to be still In favor of New York, in enlte of the completion of remittances of Government deposits. United States Steel reflected a more confi dent feeling over the preferred dividend.- Cov ering of shorts rallied the market during the latter part of the day, but the closing was heavy. Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value $2,555,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Sales. High. Low.

CHICAGO, March 31. In spite of reports of additional rain In the Southwest, there was temporarily an active demand for wheat at the opening. The principal influences respon sible for the demand were firm cables and the strength of the cash situation. The mar ket opened strong, with July up 8c at S70S7c There was much covering by shorts, due to strength In corn. Receipts In the Northwest were small, the decrease in the movement affording further Inducement to bull traders to take on more wheat. Under those conditions, July advanced, to 6Sc Later in the session the rain that had attracted so Utile attention earlier in the day became an influential factor in bringing out numerous selling orders. The market made a recovery from the low point on covering by shorts. The close was about steady, with July at 7Sc and May closed at 95c The attitude of the leading long waa the chief feature of consideration In the corn pit during the early part of the -session. The mar ket closed steady, with little change from yesterday's final figures. July opened c to o higher at 53c to 53c. and, after selling between 52c and 5Sc. closed at 538314c May closed at 56c The action of wheat and corn was the chief factor In trading In oats. After opening a shade to c higher at 39c to 39c, July ranged between 39C and 30?4c and closed at 39c A big run of hogs and a decline of 10815c In the price of hogs at the yards caused weak ness In provisions early In the day. There was good buying on the decline, however, and the market quickly recovered. July pork closed 12c higher, lard &c higher and ribs were 7c up. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open.
