Local wool dealers received private cables
yesterday announcing the opening of the Lon
don wool sales. According to these cables,
prices showed a decline of 6 per cent. At
the Antwerp sales, a few days ago, fine me
rinos dropped 5 per cent and cross-breds went
down 10 per cent. This slump in the foreign
markets did not occasion much surprise to
the trade here, aa they have been looking
for a change for some time past. It is said
that the high prices abroad were due to the
cleaned-up nature of stocks at the opening
Of the season in the hands of both merchants
and manufacturer. As In this country, the
goods trade complained loudly of the steep
values prevailing and Just as soon as the
scarcity was relieved the Impossibility of
. maintaining full prices was demonstrated.
The foreign news naturally had a weak
ening effect on the local market. Buyers of
Valley wool would not quote over 23 cents,
and east of the mountain grade were albO
quoted weaker. At the Shantko sale yesterday
prices were about 1 cent lower than at the
previous sale.
The Associated Press received the following
report of the London sale:
LONDON. July 10. A large number of buy
en attended the opening of the fourth series
of the 1806 wool auction sales here today. The
offerings amounted to 10,11ft bales. Cross
bred and scoured sllpes were In limited de
mand and 510 per cent lower; Cape of Good
Hope wools were In good demand at an aver
age decline of 5 per cent. The home trade
bought cross-breds and slipes chiefly, while
Continental buyers took medium ecoureds und
fine merinos. American purchases were con
fined to a few lots of good greasy combings.
Conditions In the Boston market are re
ported as follows:
BOSTON, July 10. The wool market is
moderately active witb deep Interest mani
fested from all classes of trade. The atten
tion of the trade Is turned toward the new
clip. Prices are held Arm. Traders are re
membering. In connection with the increased
demand for wool, the coming Australian wool

GOOD HOT WKATHER FOOD.
Spring: Chickens Are in Strong Demand.
Eggs Are Slow.
The strongest kind of a demand exists for
Spring chickens. Large well-grown birds
suitable for frying sell up as high as 16H
cents. The weather has been such that many
people have turned to this luxury and cut
out meat until a cooler spell conies on. Very
mall chickens are in only moderate re
quest, and old hens are Inclined to be slow at
about 12tt to 13 cents.
Retail egg handlers state that the fresh
Eastern eggs now on the market are giving
better satisfaction than the Oregon ranch
eggs offered. This is probably the reason for
the easier tendency In the egg market noticed
in some quarters. Prices show but little
change.
The creamery butter market Is steady and
unchanged. Some dealers have reduced their
bids on country store butter, owing to the
poor condition in which it Is arriving, but
others have followed Uie advance that has
taken place at San Francisco.
FRUIT IN STRONG DEMAND.
One Car of Cantaloupes Arrives in Morning
and Two Later in Day.
The demand fur fruit at all kirMW holds
strong and the difficulty now la in securing
supplies rather than in selling them. A car
of lemons was received yesterday morning
and was practically cleaned up by evening.
Jobbers on the Sound have advanced the price
to $8 a box, but the Portland trade is satis
fled with the prevailing quotation. A car of
imperial cantaloupes came In yesterday morn
ing and last night two ears were received from
CoacheUa and Thermal. Peaches, plums and
apples are steady. Royal Anne cherries are
about done fur. Blngs bold rlrm at 8 cents
and other good cherries at 6 cents. Some
small Republicans are offered at 4 cents.
The Merced tomatoes received Monday are
going slow. There is a little better local de
mand for old potatoes, but no Improvement
in price. New potatoes are active.
TEA MAY BE HIGHER.
Advance in Second Crop Japan Teas Is
Expected.
Leading tea handlers are of the opinion
that the second crop of Japan teas will open
at an advance of H to 1 cent In price. The
reason given for this Is the increased con
sumption in Japan due to better financial
conditions there. Exchange is also higher
than a year ago. so even if teas should open
lower on the other side, the cost laid down
here is bound to be Increased! Two ship
ments of first-crop Japan teas have reached
Portland, and cost about the -same as last
year, but the outlook Is for higher prices
for the second crop.

LAST SALE AT
ONE MILLION POUNDS OF WOOL
BRINGS AVERAGE OF 19 1-4SC.
Decline of About One Cent From
Rate Paid at Previous Sale.
All Bids Accepted.
SHANIKO, Or.. July 10. (Special.) The
third and laM wool sale of the season for
Shanlko came oft today. Nearly 1,000,000
pounds were offered and sold at price rang
ing from 17 to 20 cents, the average be
ing practically 19 centst There were only
Ave buyers In attendance, but all participated
in the bidding and were apparently anxious
V secure a share of the wools at today's basis,
which is about 1 cent below the rate paid at
the previous sales. The majority of the wools
displayed today were from the Upper John
Day's Valley and Crook County, and were In
better condition than usual. Prom their
bright color It is evident that the John Day
country escaped the March dust storm that
so disastrously affected the Antelope wools,
which heretofore has been the brightest wool
grown In Eastern Oregon
The purchasers were: Charles Green, for
Koshland & Co., 30,000 pounds; William EI
lery. for Hollowell. Donald & Jones, 250,000
pounds: E. W. Brlgham, for Whitman,
Farnsworth & Thayer. 225.000 pounds; H. L.
Harris, for The Dalles Scouring Mills. 45.000
pounds; E. J. Burke, for the Pendleton Scour
ing Mills. 40,000 pounds.
The principal sellers were: K. F. McRea,
60.000 pounds, at 20 cents: Mcintosh Live
stock Company, 45,000 pounds at 19 cents;
H. Lister, ST.000 pounds, at 19 cents; Wil
liamson & Qesner, 90.00 pounds, at 19
cents; Ike Wood 19V4 cents; John Connally,
35,000 pounds at 19 cents.
The aggregate amount of wool sold here this
season is 3,500,000 pounds, or 500,000 less
than was marketed last year. There are
still some lots undelivered, but they will
probably not exceed 250,000 pounds.
The buyers leave Shanlko tomorrow In their
private car for Baker City, where sealed bid
sales are to be held on July 12, thence to the
sales at Elgin on July 14, which will close
the auction sales In the state for the season.
Notwithstanding that early In the year
growers generally hoped' to get better prices
than they received last-year, all have accept
ed the market values cherefully and express
general satisfaction over the sealed bid sys
tem, which seems to have come to stay In
the wool trade.
Besides the 3.500,000 pounds of wool market
ed here at an average price of 20 cents, the
sheepralsers of this section have sold about
80,000 head of sheep at an average price
of $2.75 per head, making a total income from
that industry alone of over $1,000,000.

STOCKS GO BEGGING
New York Market Relapses
Into Condition of Lethargy.
DAY'S NEWS UNIMPORTANT
Favorable Crop Report Made an Oc
casion to Sell Stocks Abstract
of Condition of National
Banks Attracts Attention.
NEW YORK, July 10. The stock market
lapsed Into a condition of extreme lethargy
today. Complete stagnation prevailed for long
intervals in the trading-. Transactions up to
noon, which Is the period in which most of
a day's business is usually done, were less
than 150,000 shares. There was some effort
to attribute the unwillingness to trade to the
desire to await the appearance of the Govern
ment crop report, but the actual appearance
of the report failed entirely to revive the
market, although ita showing was fully up
to anticipations, which had been very sanguine.
Much attention was attracted by the ab
stract sent out from Washington of the con
dition of National banks as of June 18, and
its striking showing of the continued heavy
demand for credits. Compared with the previ
ous call on April 6 there has been an increase
of $77,405,752 In individual deposits, accom
panying an expansion of $30,738,737 In cash
reserves, with a growth in the loan item in
the same time of $65,713,380. But compared
with May 29 of last year, the growth of
$272,215,143 In individual deposits is parallel
with the heavy increase of $307,719,750 in the
loan item, while the cash reserves are but
$1,968,550 greater than they were in the cor
responding period of last year.
The New York banks today began the re
turn of Government deposits, which are called
for to the extent of $10,000,000. The money
market was unaffected owing to the extreme
stagnation of the stock market demand. One
of the largest Individual lenders of money in
Wall street was reported to have put out large
sums carrying over the end of the year at
6 per cent today. This represents the re
cently prevailing bid price, while transactions
have been made above that rate.
The Government crop report was made an
occasion to sell stocks by the traders in ac
cordance with their recent habit on all favorite
news events. The inconstancy of the market's
tendency was shown in another rally, but the
closing was lifeless and heavy. The narrow
propositions of the market left the small fluctu
ations of the day without significance.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value,
$1,584,000. United States bonds were un
changed on call.

POuR PAY FOR TEACHERS
Skilled Labor Earns Less Than Do
mestic Servants.
NEW HAVEN, Conn., July 10. The
American Institute of Instruction
opened Its annual convention today
with sessions in several departments.
In the Department of Public School
Finance, Calvin N. Kendall, superinten
dent of schools in Indianapolis, spoke
on the expense of the education which
schools ought to give, saying in part:
"Excepting New York, Boston, Chi
cago and Philadelphia, the average
yearly salaries of women teachers in
the elementary schools is only J556. In
some of the cities the average salary
is less than $500. So far as the men
are concerned, they have practically
disappeared in the elementary schools
of cities, owing to the Inadequate sal
aries. "The wages for women in half the
cities are less than those of servant
girls, when it Is considered that the
latter pay nothing for board, room and
laundry. Moreover, they have no so
cial position to maintain, as does the
teacher, and the requirements of dress
are far less expensive. In many cities
the minimum wages of teachers are
less than the laborers on the streets.
This labor 13 entirely unskilled, while
the teacher has spent years in prepa
ration. The wages of skilled labor are
from 25 to 130 per cent higher than
teachers' wages.
"The wages of teachers in the cities
are princely in comparison with those
in the rural schools. In view of the
demands made upon them, teachers are
therefore miserably underpaid. It
seems Incredible that the pay should
be so inadequate for those in whose
hands rests the training for citizen
ship." Mr. Kendall predicted that unless
higher salaries are paid to teachers,
there would be a steady increase in
private schools, to which many
thoughtful and discriminating people
would send their children.
