WOOL MARKfTT APPEARS WKAK.
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. A car each of orar.s-s and lem
ens came In. but otherwise rt-celjtn were
light. Throe cars of oranges and a car of

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.

NEW YORK. April 3. RTadtrect's tomor
row will sav :
Trade Is quiet the country over, industry
I still curtailed, a stoppage of work by coal
miners swells the number of Idle workmen.
collections are slow, and although money ta
easy, bankers complain that borrowing de
mand U light, tills latter being a reflection of
the lack of new business and the absence
of new enterprise. The movement of crops
to market has been curtailed by farmers
turning their attention to the work of the
approaching season.
Retail buying, which opened well last week,
has not held the gain throughout the week.
owing to the cold wave visitation and the
widespread effect of the coal miners' stop
page of work in the Central West. Jobbing
trade the country over Is quiet, filling in
orders being; of rather light volume, whl le
Fall trade is still backward and elw to ex
pand. At the fast there Is a fee' Ing among
wholesalers th'. recent reductlors in many
lines of holdings have brought values down
to a reasonable working basis, and there is
more doing- in print clothe at the further
price concesslona.
Export trade doea not develop as well as
expected, and the reports of large orders fw
cotton from China are not confirmed. Iron
and eel are also reported rather Iese active
for export, owing to the quietness in industry
abroad. Other lines of manufacturing in
duMry show little change.
Business failures in the United States for
