BUSINESS IS GROWING Wool Men Take Gloomy View of the Future ?foha!r Growers Turn Down Good Offer Produce Jtccefpts Are Light. Hwins ' o t he crow th rf ,m sinews n the r"rt!an'l Ror4 of Trad, it has bern found nTParj to hold two ssfiTS daily. fne at II A. M. for the grain mn and the othrr at nmn for the produce tra.le. Both sessions w er htpii attended yesterday and a consid erable amount of business was don. At the noon call President C. H. Clark, ft the Prattle Dairy Exchange, was present, and on In vl tat ton of President Town send, made a sliort address to the merchants. He outlined the operations of the Seattle In eiltutlon and showed wherein It had greatly benefited the trade of the Sound city.

Coarse Grade Particularly Are Neglected hi (he Kat. According to advices received by the local r.,,i trade. tht Eastern market Is dm-iral-Izd. T!i fall in pri-s at the London sales aiT-rted all grades in the Kast. and coarse . 'N are particularly weakened. Wools similar to Oregon Valley declined from 1 to ""I per nt at the English sales. Oregon Valley No. 3 Is Quoted In Boston n' l (ni.. and with similar wool from Mfpsourl ami Indiana, are entirely neglected. M m-t of 1 1 1 e buyers in this state arf look in f.r ctnsignnnnts and are hardly pre pared to mHke offers. As growers are not likely t' aco-pt - the values as quoted, a slow market is expected. Shearing has begun around Bruneau, Idaho, and it will be general in that state by Ainil IS. Idaho growers shear before lambing in order to get their sheep to the summer range earlier. The first shearing in Eastern Ortgon will be In the Sand Hol low country, about the middle of the month, and It will be general on May 1. MOII.Wfi POOL SALE APRIL IS. ISronns illr fi rowers Turned Donn a Good Offer Just Before Market Dropped. The mohair market does not improve. Dealers are offering 2020Vi cents; but are not ready buyers at this prl--e. Offers made to tne East bring no response, owing to the Jack of demand. A number of the Eastern manufacturers write that goods are ac cumulating on their hands and they do not want the raw material. Si I vert i n growers have Fet April IS for the date of their pool sale. It is presumed they- will follow a different course from the Brownsville growers, who offered their pool Tor sale last Saturday. At the Brownsville sale, Bernheim A Co.. if this city, made the hfghest bid. 2ri cents, but It was re Jected ty the grower. Two days later the market dropped to 23 cents, and then to ltfc present level. Butter May Decline Next Week. While butter stocks are not large, cream rrymen ere of the opinion that prices should come down In order to prevent an influx of California butter, and it Is probable quotations will be lowered In the coming w eek. Eg5 receipts were light on the street yes terday, and the market was steady and un changed. . There wa a firm demand for chickens at previous prices. Other poultry was scarce and not calid fur. Fruit and Vegetable Trade Light. Trading In the green produce line yester day did not show the customary Friday a.-tlvity.

OF ERIE Speculation in Stocks Hinges on Settlement of Problem. TRADERS HOLDING OFF Harriman's Interest in the Matter Shown by Fltictuations In Union Pacific Steel antl Cop pers Are Heavy. NEW YORK, April 3. The stock market continued to b dominated by the influence of the Erie problem today, the disposition being emphasised to refrain from large op erations until the uncertainty overhanging the situation Is cleared up. An impression has grown up in the financial district that a contest of some sort between financial powers of the first magnitude Is involved in the settlement of the fate of the Erie. The assumption that the assertion of the Har rlman influence in the property is an issue was the cause of tha Importance attached to the movements In Union Pacific as a pos sible Index of the course of events regarding Erie. It has become known that a large part of the Erie floating Indebtedness is due to Mr. Harriman or to allied Interests. The fact that a Union Pacific bond issue is already determined upon, subject to ratifi cation by the stockholders, is one of the reasons supposed to Influence the Harriman party In its solicitude for the preservation of the investment situation as far .as pos sible. That there Is a contention In favor of a receivership for Erie among the owners is generally assume'l. and the uncertain weakness of the securities of the company Is pointed to as a corroboration. Prices of the Erie securities, in the opinion of many, have approached a receivership basis be fore this. The decisions to be arrived at for meeting the company's financial crisis will be regarded more for the general policies to be Indicated on the part of the large finan cial powers concerned in the contest over methods of procedure than for the imme diate results to the company. When Union Pacific was rising a. prospect waw Inferred for avoiding a receivership for Erie. When Union Pacific yielded an Erie settlement was considered doubtful. The heavy tone of United States Steel was of marked sentimental influence on the whole market. The reports in circulation of the tone of comment at afdinner in New York of steel men broughtfut an informal statement from Chairman Gary, of the United States Steel Corporation, who was host at the dinner, asserting the hopeful confidence of the views expressed at the dinner. Another reduction in copper here and in London, had Its Influence on the estimates of the Iron and steel situation. The market received no benefit from the fort-cast of the bank statement, which indi cate a gain of some $10,000,000 in cash for the week. Foreign money markets were affeoted by the unexpectedly large offering of Oerman and Prussian government loans. Further withdrawals of gold from London stiffened the discount rate there and foreign exchange here was Inclined to advance. A recovery in London exchange at Paris, however, served to widen the margin from the point of profit on gold exports from New York. The closing depression of the stock' mar ket was due ,to the further postponement without action of the Erie directors' meet ing. Bonds were steady, but the tone was narrow and dull. Total sale, par value, $2.o&4.000. Untied States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid.
