TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1907. 17 MQHA COM NG Several Thousand Pounds Reach Local Market. PRICE OPENS AT 28 CENTS Quality Is Fully lp to the Standard . Shearing Will Be General as Soon as the Showers Cease. The Oregon mohair market for the 10i7 l',ain has opened at 28 cents. Several thouHanrl pounds have been received by Theo. Bernhclm and the quality has been found to be first-class, . fully up to last year's grade. Shearing was veil -under way before yeterday"s Fhowers checked the work, but operations will be general as soon as the weather clears., A number of pools are being formed at Dallas, McMinnville, Sllrerton, Scio, Lebanon and other places in the goat-raising sections where the hair will be offered in bulk as soon as a sufficient quantity is collected. The Eastern' mohair market is quiet. The Boston Commercial Bulletin of March 9 said : The past few weeks have brougnt few new features into the mohair market, and the one just ending has been little un like Its predecessors, prices of both for eign and domestic stocks are without quot able change and only a moderate business in reported.

The wool market Is very quiet in Ore gon and there is not much likelihood of a resumption. Some shearing of mutton sheep is being done in the Yakima country. Charles H. Green, of Boston, the repre sentative of Koshland tfc Co., who last year bought the bulk of the Oregon wool clip, arrived in Portland yesterday. Mr. Green is of the opinion that prices in Oregon will open lower than last year. There have been some heavy transactions In Oregon wools in the Boston market of late and it is believed the stock of Oregon wool now held there is comparatively small. The bulk of the Valley wools were sold some months ago. The late heavy transactions were in Eastern staple and were at prices in the range of 23 cents. About 2,500,000 pounds were included and the deals were closed by several Arms. Buy ers included large New England consum ers and Philadelphia and other mills. Most of the sales were at 22 1& to 23 cents, though 2:J 14 cents was paid in some cases. Thus 30 bales sold by one concern Is reported in the range of 23 to 2314 cents. About 72 cents is the indicated scoured cost. BITTER FAMINE IN PORTLAND. Creameries and Jobbers Can Fill Only a Part of Their Orders, The butter question Is becoming a serious one In the local trade. The supply of fresh creamery, while fairly large, as compared with previous years, is entirely inadequate, as there is no storage stock, dairy butter or California or Eastern product available. All classes of buyers are forced to buy either local or state brands of fresh creamery but ter or go without. The make of the city and nearby croamvrles is not sufficient to supply the big demand and many orders go un filled. Some of the small grocers find It im possible to buy butter here at any price. There Is also a strong shipping demand from the North, but little progress can be made toward filling the orders. No butter can be safely brought in from the. East, owing to the slow transportation, and the California market, while declining, has not reached the point yet where the Portland" trade- can buy there. The only thing that can be done Is to spread the butter thin and make the best of circumstances until the supply increases. The cold nights of late have not been favorable for a larger yield of milk, but the time Is about at hand where the condi tions will be good for a larger production. It is not certain that the coming increase In the make win mean lower prices, for a good outside Inquiry can be expected for some, time and it may be several weeks yet before there Is a surplus of butter here. The manufacturers and dealers, however. expect to have a less strenuous, tlmq of Kj oerore iong ana are then-lore holding prices steady at cents. l"p on the Sound, where they are also having a butter famine, the market has gone to 3 cents. K; MARKET IN OOOI) SHAPE. Nhlpplng Demand Holds I p and Storage Operations Have Begun. Between lighter receipts, a good shipping demand and some storage operations, the rug market is in better shape with a. firmer tone. While only a few hundred cases have been put away, so far, the cooler busi ness is likely to play an important part In t he market from now on. Many egg han (I tern believe the market will not decline further, but they do not look for anything but a temporary Easter advance now, for higher prices would check storing. The poultry market was active with live chickens selling at top prices and the sup ply entirely insufficient. A little business was done in ducks, but there was no de mand at all for geese or turkeya. Urease d chickens were also slow. Lrs Activity In Hops. Operations in the hop trade have been on a smaller scale in the past two days, but the feeling in the country is very firm. Some recent buying has been done by Joe Harris and Julius Wolf, and it is reported that Shucking also made some purchases. A good many dealers have order for lO-cent con tracts, which they cannot nil since Lach mund & Pincus went into the country with 12-cent orders for 1107. Bananns and Oranges 'Arrive. Four cars of bananas in satisfactory con dition and one car of oranges were un loaded yesterday. The latter went but a small way toward supplying the strong de mand. A car of celery is due today and tonight's steamer will leave a good assort ment of California vegetables. Cabbage is In light supply, as good stock is bard to get. Shipments from Los Angeles are slow, owing to the scarcity there, and not much of the San Francisco cabbage that is com ing along is first-class. W heat Market Flraner. r The wheat market is very firm locally and dealers are paying higher prices, as there Is a strong shipping and milling de mand, and the supply coming in from the country is entirely too small.

MAY NOT BE AT BOTTOM Crash Is Precipitated by Pressure on Money MarketHill and Har riman Shares Are Very . Heavy Sufferers. NEW YORK. March 13. The stock market waa shaken Into femoral 1 zat ion today by a course of liquidation which for violence and precipitation has not been equalled in New York for several years. The overwhelming outpouring; of stocks came aa a general sur prise, as extensive progress was supposed to have been already ' effected in the necessary liquidation to meet the present situation. This supposition had been fostered by the action of the market for several days paet. but appar ently the exigencies of the money situation had been greatly underestimated. Alarm for the adequacy of available supplies to meet im mediate or early requirements' was acute to day, not only In New York, but in London and Berlin. The contraction of oreddts fell upon an unsuspected extension of speculative ac counts, and they were indiscriminately forced to sale, apparently at any sacrifice. Banking credits were practically withdrawn from the stock market and borrowers were called upon to pay their obligations. At the same time bids in the market for stocks seemed to be withdrawn and prices were offered down points at a time beyond the absorptive demand. The immediate pressure on the money mar ket, which precipitated this aeries of events, was attributed to the large demands converg ing upon the 15th of the present month. These Include subscriptions to the new Chicago A, Northwestern etock, to a Pennsylvania note tesue and several large dividends. Including the Standard Oil. Preparations for these payments were In force today and involved a higher money rate from the outset. The banking po sition was weak at the close of last week and the Sub-Treasury has taken from the banks since that time upward of $4,000,000. The customs collections of the Government are run ning on a very large scale, but the banks are talcing advantage of the new limit of $9,000, 000 upon monthly retirement of circulation to retire the fuil allowance, and deposits of money at the Sub-Treasury for that purpose are increasing largely the withdrawals from the banks. Meantime, the Treasury Depart ment has given no intimation of an intention to uee the new discretionary power of the Sec retary to deposit customs receipts with the National banks. London already was upset by the money situation before the market operations began here and as soon as the New York market opened, foreigners began to unload holdings here in a way that started prices sharply down wards. The liquidation steadily gained In force through the accumulation of influences which follow inevitably from a violent decline in prices and the market became quite demor alized. Seemingly the absolute necessity for further drastic liquidation became recognized. A feeling of hopelessness over any early mar ket to insure the success of this operation prompted the spasmodic method pursued. The acute weakness of the Hill and Harri man stocks indicated that the semi-panic con dition today was the aftergrowth of the un bridled speculation in those stocks entered upon last Fall and which has never been sat isfactorily cleared up in the market since. Such a day as today must necessarily have ac complished much towards the purpose. The violent rally in the latter part of the day in dicated the cessation of the pressure, but the closing tone was exceedingly nervous and with some stocks at the lowest and others fast fall ing back to their previous low levels. Union Pacific especially broke violently at the last, an' extreme 11 below yesterday's final price. The fall in the Hill stocks was almost as violent, and In Reading- reached over 12. St. Paul, Chicago & Northwestern, Cana dian Pacific, Amalgamated Copper and Col orado Fuel fell upwards of seven points. The range of losses for practically all the active stocks ran from four to over six points. The extent of the shock of such an enormous shrinkage of values Is not to be estimated im mediately. Even after the fall in prices is checked, important after effects of wide ex tent are to be looked' for.- The nervous action of the market at tb last left opinion entirely at sea as to whether the worst had been seen there or not. Bonds were weak. Total sales, par value, $2,534,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low, Bi. Adams' Express 280 A mal.

GIVES WHEAT MARKET TURN Selling; Becomes Free In the Chicago Pit and Prices Decline Sharply From Tuesday's Unusually. High IjcvcI. CHICAGO. March 13. While numerous reports were received today of the rav ages committed by the "green bug." it was declared positively that the Kansas crop is still unharmed. Pit traders here placed more credence in the latter advice, and sold freely all day. Local and outside longs also cold extensively. Rain was re ported to be general throughout Kansas, and, as wet weather is said to be fatal to the "green bug." there was considerable selling on that account. The failure of the Liverpool market to respond In any marked degree to yesterday's sharp advance here was an additional bearish influence. The market closed weak, with prices close to the lowest point.

Consols today touched low water mark, 8434, being a Quarter of a point lower than was reached In 190. . Other gilt-edged securities were depressed in sympathy. Operators aitrib uted the decline to the scarcity and dear ness of money and to the number of new issues which are more attractive because of the higher rate of interest. Expectation that the United States will shortly be in a position to take gold from this market led also to the fear of another advance in the Bank of England's rate of was a relapse in Americans before the close, and the market finished weak.
