Nt fcwdnoss is being dene In Valley wool '"- and the trade Ik femcn'h&t at a as to writer tho market will open. Seme buyers are talking of 23 to 25 cents as the projKT vjilwee. but the grower want SO cents. The ' rale made fo far have been from mutton Mhcared feerr around 23 ccnte. Shearing will gin in the Valley early in May. The clip Umatd at about' 2,000,000 iounds, the average output. Owing to the high price asked fw hheep, not so many in proportion' Imvt Im-oh id owl of the Valley as In East n Grgm. Th quality of the Valley clip will be Rood, owing to the jniM Winter. A 4a.000-pound clip in Morrow County was centra etod for lat week at 20 cents, the only future business reported in that section this ean. Tilts Is the price that the Kastern Oregon growers are demanding, but the few buyers In the fteM have btn offering much lrn. In the trad, the opinion prevails that tuiee will haw to route down to a much lower banis before buyers can take liold in rarn'-.Tt. As a local dealer oxpresfd it yes terday: "Nearly all the deal or lost money lost year, some of them vory heavily, and they vrltt operate more cautiously this year, and ore already doing je. withdrawing their buyers from the districts In the Southwest, whore the growers are asking high prices. The market will have to opon considerably below the closing of last year, or there win not be much doing. To come out with any profit at all. It will be necessary for dealers to buy Valley wools at 23 ct-nts and Eastern Oregon on a 6coured basis of CO cent", which ia equivalent to lC?i cents in the greafe." It Is feared that thore will be heavy loss of goats in the Valley on account of the cold wave. Shearing bogan lat week on many farms, and the low temperature may kill oft many of the goats. The Mohair market is quiet. nOP MAJULET OPENS QUIET. Several Dealers Report Eastern Orders. Low Prices Paid in New York. - A few new Eastern orders for hops were resorted yesterday, but the week opened quiet ly in the local market. Several fairly large deals arc paid to be under way. The depressed condition of the Eastern mar ket is shown by the prices lately paid for New York states. The Waten-ille Times, of March 0 says: The few holders about here arc not willing to accept the prices offering, but are in hope r an advance later. Wc hear that the hop left In growers hands in Schoharie County are bringing all the way from 7c to 10c The Cooporstown Journal, of March J, tald: The local bop market during the past week is reported to have bcon very quiet. From 75 to 100 bales have changed hands at prices ranging from 5c to 10c The CoblejklH Times of March 1 said: There id not much to nay about the local hop market savo to repeat the same tory tM for Kevoral weeks past. Tator has bought a few lota. Darnet has been buying and Smith & Capron. of Oneonta have secured crops In this section. 0c to 8c being the prevailing jwlco. Among the sellers wo note the names of GMeon Hilts and Awo France. The United States Department of Commerce reports the movement In hepa for January and for the teatson to date as follows: Pound p.

Cold Heather Stimulate Local Trade California Butter Quotations. The oold weather stimulated the demand for eggs yesterday, and the local movement was large. Some fair-sized shipping orders wore also filled. Tho increased business strengthened the market and a few of the dealers advanced their prices, but the gen eral quotations were 15 and 16 centa. Poultry prices this week will be governed by the size of receipts. If chickens come in tui liberally as they did on Friday and Sat urday it will be difficult to maintain quota tions. Butter holds steady with a fair movement. The cold weather is not likely to have any effect on tho market, unless it should con tinue, which is not probable California but ter, received by the last steamer, is offering on Front street at 27" cents, which is the price now quoted in tho San Francisco mar ket. FIVE CARS OF ORANGES IN. California Green Produce Freezes oh the (steamship Dock. Five cars of oranges arrived yesterday, and two more are due Thursday. This la prob ably all that will be along for some time, as it has been raining for two days in South ern California, and this will stop picking. A car of cabbago and cauliflower and a car of sweet potatoes also arrived yesterday. The vegetables brought up by the steamer Saturday nlgh.t reached Front street yester day morning, and it was found that much of the cabbage and cauliflower had frozen while on the dock. Tho rest of the produco was in good shape. WHEAT MARKET FIRMER. No Advaace la Local Quotations Yet Views ef CallferabtBS. The wheat markets improved all around yes terday, closing with higher prices in the East and abroad. Locally the feeling was aleo sraer. but In tho absenco of offering dealers did not feel called upon to quote any higher prices and thcreforo quotations were un chwffd. Some email inquiry was reported from California, but the buyers 'of that 'state are holding back, being under the Impression that there Is a lot of wheat left in the north that will have to he sacrificed later. A letter received yesterday by a local firm trow a CaMferahMt aM that he understood there im MtVM bwfepto yet whM. ha -the Fa- ciflc Northwest and that." therefore, be was In no hurry to buy now at prevailing prices. It is hard to ray -where the man got hie Idea from, for probably not over 6,000.000 bushels remain in tub territory.

STOCK PRICES SAG Market in the Hands of Small Professionals. LOWEST PRICES AT CLOSE Threatening Aspect oC Uie Labor Controversy .Responsible for tlic Hesitating Tone Reading on Downward Grade. . NEW YORK. March 12. Today's stock market was left very largely in the hands of professional operators and those, apparent ly, of the mailer cUus of room traders who are rat Is fled to dose up an operation en a price movement of a moderate fraction. Tha Saturday movement had to serve to discour age confidence in the capacity ef the market for- a further extended advance, in spite of the appearance of animation after the middle of last week. As a contequence. new buying orders In commltslea-bocsc were in moderate amount with the opening of the week. Trading was of a mixed complexion from the opening and prices began to sag pretty promptly. The 'threatening aspect taken on the labor controversy In the anthracite fleW was given credit for the hesitating tone of the market. The character of the reply of the operators to the proposition of the min ers was so uncompromising that It seemed to effer little room fer further negotiations and the anticipation gained force that a strike would result. Stock market comment en the outlook was confined largely te estimates of what the c fleet of the strike would be eo stocks. No notable effect was produced today out side of the . persistent tagging tendency of Reading. The pressure which carried It off 3rL points gave no rign ef urgency, but the stock wax without effective support at any time The sympathetic effect of this move meat oa the general list, ef course was con siderable The announcement that gold bad been se cured la London fer shipment to New York fulftllcd the speculative hopes of last week, but had no Influence in reviving the market. The exact amount secured was not authori tatively announced, but was small at the out side The prompt effect In the marking up of the price of geld in London a half penny an ounce and the rise of a fraction In the dis count rate in London marked the quick meas ures ef protection by that market against further taking for New York account. New York exchange at Chicago roe to 5 cents premium contrasted with 25c discount early last week. The sub-Treasury started the week wliji a contribution of nearly $71)0, 000 to the banks and the monthly tide of pen sion payment Is now rising to Its maximum. The sub-Treasury, however, was a creditor at the clearlag-hecsc this morning. Reports of gross earnings for the first week in March ehowed a considerable shrinkage in the ratio ef Increase over last year as com pared with the February average ana mere was a slightly perceptible note of conserva tism la the weekly discussion by railroad traf fic officials. The dispute over Chicago and New York passenger rates and the stormy weather in the Middle West were subject to discussion as bearing on railroad earnings. Oceailenal advances during the day In stocks which were responsive to deal rumors did not affect the general tone of the mar ket and the clesfng generally was near the lowest level ef the day, with a slightly Ir regular tone Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value $1,990,000. United States 2s' and So advanced U per cent on call, the oM 4s and the new 4s 1J per cent on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Clootaz Sales. High. Iw.
