COMING
Shearing Will Be General Next
Week, Weather Permitting.
DATE OF SODAVILLE SALE
Eastern Manufacturers Do Not AVrite
Encouragingly of the Outlook,
but Traders look for Improve
ment London Hop 3Iarket.
The goatratsers in the vicinity of Sodaville
fcave nxe upon April 20 as the day on
. hlch they will sell their ool of mohair.
As the Pcio pool sale has already been
scheduled for the same date, it would be
more satisfactory to the mohair buyers if
the Sodaville people would s?Iect some other
date.
Several small shipments of mohair were
received yesterday. This Vu probably shorn
before the recent storm. Reports from the
country yesterday were thatt shearing- had
ben resumed In some of the sections, and
If the weather continues favorable, shear
ing will be general in the coming week.
Private letters received from Eastern
manufacturers offer no encouragement for
better prices. Soma of the largest mills are
running on half time and are still heavily
stocked with the manufactured article, for
which the demand Is unsatisfactory. The
latest Isue ol the Boston Commercial Bul
letin says:
"The Laissez-faire smile of the mohair
Sealer has brightened up a little during the
past week. Inasmuch as samples of the new
clip are beginning to arrive and the human
breast Is f cell ng a few of the eternal
soring of hope that business may be better
soon. It Is" said that the new samples of
the Texas Spring clip are showing up re
markably well, and dealers feel that they
ought to command buyers attention very
readily. Business on the local market has
been confined to a few bags, but there are
reports that certain consumers are looking
for bargains in sizable lots, but their offers
Tor bargains hae been too low to close any
Seals.
f "The foreign situation, according to late
advices, remains in about the same position
91 in the past two months, demand for fine
hairs continuing good. Boston quotations

DECLINE NOTED IN VALLEY WOOL.
Result of the Sharp Drop la Coarse Grades
at London Auction;
In accordance with the pace set at Lon
don, where coarse wools declined sharply
at the auction, local woolbuyers have re-
Suced their prices on Valley wool to IS1
IS cents, according to quality. A rather
pessimistic view of the future of the wool
market Is taken by dealers, who Insist that
sellers will have to come down considerably
In their Ideas this year. ,
Advices received from Arlxona. where the
buying movement Is usually In full blast at
this time of year with more or less spirited
bidding, are that only three buyers were
In the field, and as a result practically all
the clip wilt be sent East on containment.
Jk mall report from Boston notes a dull
market for Oregon wools. No sales of grease
wuoIn, staple, or clothing were made public.
The staple Is about cleaned up and la nom
inal. A sale of 800 pounds choice XXXX
Hcuured Is reported - at 84 Vic Such wool
was bringing TOc last Fait. Jn territories,
the business of the week was confined to
mail lots, mostly 'clothing and tine me
dium, at about the same range of price
as provalled In the previous week. Good
tine sold on the scoured basis of 60c and
tiown to ORe. Sales of 200,000 pounds ai
IT to 17V4C,. to cost 08 to 60. and of 7.1,000
pounds of Wyoming fine medium at 18c. also
to cost Aft to Oc, are reported. Some 4O.O00
pounds fine brought 0c clean, and consid
erable has changed hands at P-6 to 67c
for line and 52 to 58a for tine medium. Good
Nevada and Montana wools are bringing 60c
-coured more readily than previously. A
email line of half-blood stuple sold at 22c,
the scoured basis being flsured t 6Ac.
KV.LIlt MOP THAOK 18 DEPRESSED
1'enr of Licensing Legllatlon Drives
Brewers Out of Market.
The English hop trade Is beginning to
01 the effect of the proposed saloon re
form legislation, and the same uncertainty
exists there as In this country, where the
prohibition agitation has had such a depres
sing rrwt on the hop markut. One of the
lariat London hop fir ma, cattley, Orldley &
Co., write as folluwa:
Tliers la but a small trade doing on the
market, and the growing interest and op
position to thi proposed legislation Is en
aufitng; much of the attention of all con
cerned In Uie trade Preparations are being
made tu hoid meet) rues or protest and in
dignation. It is recognised that the hop
isrowing Industry la so severely depressed
that even Ills Majesty's government has
granted a commission of Inquiry, but the
proposed legislation, on the otner hand, will
runner depress th industry by crippling
the demand. Foreign mantels are unaltered,
with suniL'ient home .trade to fairly main
tain prices, especially of the better quali
ties." Weekly circulars of the English, hop trade
tollow:
There Is practically noting- doing on our
market. Trve government's proposed new
licensing legislation is reons.uie for sull
lurtner depression tnrougnout me trade,
and consumers with, tne uncertainty of their
position before them rcluse to add to their
fctocka lid, N'oame &. Co., London.
The low prices now ruling continue to at
tract the attention of consumers, who are
quietly covering their immediate require
ments, but tnere is no speculation. The dras
tic licencing bill is forcing brewer to hold
their nanus and buy oniy from hand to
mouth. W. H. A H- Le May. London.
Business Is almost restricted to email
sales of medium qualities out of merchants
stocks at about late rates. Inferior lots are
neglected, and holders, although willing to
accept bids which do not return cost of
production, find their hops very difficult to
dispose of. J. H. Meredith, A Co., Wor
cester. LOCAL ECt QUOTATIONS ARE MI AD ED
Business) Done Bel u rea Dralcra on the
Bants of 14 V Cents.
The egg market is evidently retting
ready for another decline. While general
quotations were unchanged at 15 to 16
cents, t he latter for single cases and the
farmer for large lots, several transactions
between dealers were reported on a basis
of 14 S cents. Predictions are freely made
that the market will go .as low as 12 cents
before It recovers.
Poultry receipts were larger than usual
yesterday and the market was weaker,
though no lower.
A very active trade Is going on in the
butter line and there is no accumulation
of city or country creamery. An Increase
m the production is looked for from now on.
1RT 1XOK1N STRAWBERRIES ARRIVE
Two Crate Jfewrh Front Mr4 and Sell at
4.1 Cent Pound.
The first Klrin strawberries of the season
rMine in yesterday, a week and a half earlier
t "n Iast year. There, wer two crates .of
tmm and they sold at I. 75 per crate, or 40
cents a pound. Advices from Florin are of a
big berry crop this year. Two cars of or
anges arrived and met with the -usual strong
demand. The street is well stocked with
apples, but they move slowly, owing- to the
Increasing supply of rhubarb and other such
articles that cut into the fruit demand.
Another car of celery was received yester
day and a car of mixed vegetables is due
today. Small truck was rather scarce on the
street and firm pricis prevailed here and
in the South.
81 GAR MARKET 13 VERY STRONG.
Local Trade Would Not Be Surprised to
Receive Word of Advance.
The sugar market In the East exhibits
decided strength, and prices were advanced
there 20 points yesterday..
The Coast position is likewise strong
and under normal conditions values would
have gone up some4 time ago. Complications
between the California and Hawaiian sugar
Interests, however, keep the Coast markets
unsettled and consequently they are not
sympathetically affected by conditions in
the Kast. Still the local jobbers would not
be surprised to receive announcement any
day of an advance.
Cheap Eggs In the East,
CHICAGO, March 19. The markets of the
country, and particularly Chicago, have
been flooded during the last few weeks with
eggs strictly fresh and ai ' prices that
seem fabulously cheap In comparison with
the exorbitant charges of a short time ago.
Eggs are coming Into Chicago daily at the
rate of about SO carload?, which means
64)0,000 dozen, or 7.200,000 eggs. Strictly
fresh eggs are selling wholesale at about 15
cents, the lowest price in five years. At re
tail the same grade of eggs should be ob
tained at not more than SO cents.
Wheat Market la Firmer.
The wheat market rhowed a firmer tone
yesterday and some of the buyers advanced
their quotations a cent. This rise, however,
like the recent drop, had no effect what
ever on holders. Added to the foreign Im
provement was a better demand from Cali
fornia, said to be due largely to the coast
wise steamer strike.

Sentiment Is Confused in the
Stock Market.
REFLECT TRADE REPORTS
Rise Is in Progress at the Close of
the Session Redaction in the
Number of Idle Freight
cars Reported.
NEW TORK, Marclj 19. The remarkable
feature .of today's stock market was the en
tire confusion and uncertainty of its action,
a reflection to some extent at least of the
doubts felt over the actual progress which,
has been made towards betterment in af
fairs. The reduction yesterday in the Hew
Tone Central dividend rate served as a
warning- that, if Improvement has set in
In the business 'affairs of the country -there
are consequences to stockholders of the
business contraction which are yet to be
faced. It is not that dividend reductions
have not been expected, the course of prices
showing clearly in many instances that re
duced dividends were taken for granted. To
day much attention was paid to evidences
of necessary cuts in the distribution of
profits. The most important Instance came
from abroad, the Klo Tlnto Mining Com
pany (copper) declaring only 40 shillings,
compared with 47 shilling 8 pence for the
preceding distribution.
The response to the reduction In the offi
cial discount rate of the Bank of England
from 3V4 to 3 per cent was supgestlve, also,
of uncertain speculative temper. Coupled
with this prime index of declining money
rates and of growing accumulation of idle
money came the report from the London
market that half of the S10.000.000 Issue of
Grand Trunk Pacific debentures remained in
the underwriters' hands.
Weakness in the London copper market
and a rise in the price of refined sugar were
incidents of the day. Further reduction In
the number of freight cars idle was noted
with satisfaction, as was the reported good
chance for avoiding m strike in the soft coal
mines.
Prices of stocks showed small gains at the
end of the day, but a rise from the low
point of the day continued in the last half
hour of the trading.
Bonds were easy. Total sales, par value,

Bank of England Discount Bate Lower.
LONDON, March 19. The rate of discount
of the Bank of England was reduced today
from 3 to S per cent.
Beyond causing a feeling of cheerfulness,
the announcement of the reduction made little
improvement In prices.
The reduction for today, making the fifth
change since the beginning of the year, caused
little surprise on the market, as the bank's
large stock of coin and bullion amounts to
nearly 40,000,000, and the forthcoming dis
tribution of government dividends will have
a marked effect on the monetary position,
and the retention of a higher rate, therefore,
is scarcely justified. Caution, however, was
advocated against undue weakening of the
market for discounts in view of the weakness
of continental exchange on London and ship
ments of gold to Paris next week.
Bombay Kate Also Reduced.
BOM BAT, March 19. The Bank of Bombay
has lowered its rate of discount from 9 to 8
per cent.
