pounds, as compared with last year. The
scoured equivalent la 106.630.(48 pounds, an
Increase of .C7I.a pounds over last year,
due partly to the lighter shrinkage of tha

In lSlH.'as In 19o7, Wyoming Is credited
with having produced the largest amount of
wool In the crease, a total of 36.ooo.0O0
pounds, but owing to the greater shrinkages
of Its wools Montana's product, amounting
to 32. toe. 000 pounds, tn the scoured condi
tion, still maintains a slight lead, the re
spective figures for the two slates being
11.170.000 and 11.592.000 pounds.
Of the 190t clip In the West, ths average

The amount of pulled wool has been moat
carefully considered, and because of the ap
parent decrease in the number .of sheep
slaughtered and tlx scarcity of pulled wool
at times during tha year, the total has been
reduced from 42.000.000 to 41.090,000
pounds. The shrinkage la continued at 30
per cent, making the yield equal to 28,700.
OOt pounds of clean wool.
Th-a total production of the country for
ltos. Including pulled wool. Is. therefore,
311.139.321 pounds. equal to 135.330.643
pounds of scoured soul 4.971.530 pounds
In excess of the estimate for 1907.
The total value of the wool clip, scoured,
for the year, estimated on the price In Bos
ton. October 1. was 361.C94.618 for 135.330.
143 pounds of wool. Last year 120,359.111
pounds were valued at 378.243.165. which
Indicates the losses suffered through the
panlo by the wool growers of the country.
The average value per pound of the fleece
wool was 4t.t. the lowest figure touched
since 1902. The same Is true of the 41. t
cents paid for the scoured pound of pulled
wool.
The average weight of fleece, for the en
tire country la t.70 pounda, an Increase from
6 60 pounds In 1907. The weight for 1S0S
was t.tt pounds; for 1905. t.St pounds; for
1904. t.St pounds, and tor 1903, t 25 pounda
The average shrinkage was tO.t per cent;

BETTER FEELING IX BOP MARKET
Semvey Company llnys 33S Rales at Prices
Better Than Cents.
Indications of strength are plain In the
Tbop market. The demand from the East is
gradually broadening and It la dally becom
ing more difficult to buy In this state. The
storm make operations difficult, but aside
from this, thene Is a firmer feeling on the
part of growers. Orders are said to be
quite plentiful at more satisfactory limits
tbsn those lately received, and should export
buying also be resumed. It would undoubt
edly have a stimulating ffeot on prices
here.
The J. W. Seavey Hop Company has done
considerable buying In the lost two dajs.
ecuring about 350 bales at prices better
than t cents. Among the lots bought wend
121 bales from O. A. Lowe, of Ellverton. 70
bales from Ewert. of Mt. Angel, the J. A.
Johnson lot at Sllverton. and others.
Harry L Hart bought, among other lots.
130 bales from Jamea tiewalL of Hlllsboro.
Hop market conditions In England are re
ported by the Kentish Observer of Decem
ber "4 as follows:
Since our lust report there has been a
fair amount of business dune in medium
copper bops, the lalue of which remains
steady Some few parcels of very low col
ored have changed hands at quite nominal
prices, far below the cost of picking. Choice
hops are still In demand, but are not to be
found. Best sorts Continentals are wanted,
but very few are offered, the home demand
having almost exhausted the supjdy. More
trade is pssslng In Pacific Coast hops at
steady quotations.
London trade circulars, bearing dates of
December 21 to 22. say:
Manger and Henley. The market Is over
shadowed by the holidays and a better trade
la hoped for at the turn of the year.
Exchange and Hop Warehousea Business
remains ratlwr quiet, as Is usual at this
time of year. Good quality hops continue
to be sought after, but prices do not Im
prove. A great quantity of the crop has
now been disposed of. and It Is expected that
the new year will open with a good trado
at Improved rates.
Wild. Neam. and Co. There has been
very little doing during the week owing to
the near approach of the end of the year.
Values remain firm.
W. U. and, U. Le at ay. The market thla
week has opened quietly In view of the ap
proach of Ohrlntmaa. prices remsin about
the same for all classve.
CALIFORNIA IN'QtTKKS FOR GRATN'
Begins to Realise the Shortage of SnppUea
on the Coast.
California Inquiries for wheat and oats
were more numerous yesterday. TJp to the
present time tha Californlans apparently
have not reallxed the shortage In grain and
feed supplies, but the fact Is dawning on
them now. Judging from the Inquiry and
the stiffening prices below. Choice milling
bluestera wheat la quoted In thla market at
1. but anything under choice In quality
would not command this price.
Oats continue very strong at 333. and the
market has an upward tendency. Inqulriea
for oats have been received from Salt Lake,
but business with that quarter la not possible
at present prices. The barley market holds
steady.

rOKTT.AND MAY H WE EG FAMINE
rnJeaa ths Weather Moderates Soon, Short
age Will Become Active.
fnles there Is a change In the weather
very eorn. Port'ar.d may have to face an
egg famine. P.ecelpts have become light
and are not likely to Increase while tne
snow lasts. Only a few rases of country
eggs were delivered on the street yesterday
and stocks of Eastern eggs were not heavy.
Retailers were early buyers and as a re
sult of the firmness, prices showed an ad
vanre cf SH cents nil around. Guaranteed
fresh ranch eggs sold readily at 45 cents
and the best Eastern brought S3 certs.
Poultry receipts were not heavy, but tuj
ers supplied most of their wants earlier in
the week and Wednesday's quotations gen
erally were followed.
The butter market was alfO stronger be
cause of the cold snap. Receipts of cream
have fallen off about B0 per cent since
Monday and It would "occasion no surprise
were city creamery prices raised.
FIVB-CKNT ADVANCE IX ONIONS.
Association Price Raised, but No Stock Is
Offered.
The association price of onions was raised
C cents yesterday to $1.23 at country points.
No sales of association stock were reported.
The potato market Is warming locally,
but there has not beeit enough Improvement
yet In the shipping trade to acim'ulate val
ues .
The fruit and vegetable market continues
to suffer from the effects of the cold wave.
Shipments of perishable stuff to outsldo
points has nearly ceased and local retailers
are buying very sparingly, though their
stocks are much reduced. Tao cars of or

SPURT OF ACTIVITY
Buoyant Rise in Stock Prices
Late in the Day.
MINOR ISSUES IN DEMAND
Subsidence of Selling Pressure in
Xew York Central and Consol
idated Gas St. Paul
and Soo Advance.
NEW YORK, Jan. 7. The most signlO
cant events of today,, from a financial
standpoint, were occurring outside the stock
exchange and the volume of business done
on the floor of the exchange shrank matei
lally until the spurt of activity that accom
panied the buoyant rise late in the dav.
The points of positive strength were
rouna outside the list of stocks ordinarily
most active In the trading and mostly in
those of a minor grade. New York Central
and Consolidated Gas gave substantial evi
dence of relief from selling pressure and
their strong recovery was a great help by
sympathy to the rest of the market.
In the Colorado Southern stocks, order
again made their appearance apparently for
all offerings of those stocks up to desig
nated figures. It was a&sumed that further
details of the purpose of the Chicago, Bur
lington A Quincy towards these securities
were reflected in these movements, but no
announcement was forthcoming to throw a
light on the subject.
Et. Paul's movement was Incident to a
supposition that the authority for Issuing
bonds on the Pacific Coast extension mlgat
contemplate the reimbursement of stock
holders for funds embarked in the building
of the extension. There was a volatile ad
vance In Minneapolis, St. Paul A Sault Ste
Marie in response to rumors of the acqui
sition of this or that railroad In the United
States that would serve to give the power
ful Canadian Pacific system an entry Into
the country's railroad fVafflc.
The number of new bond Issues and sales
was the feature of the day's financial news.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, $0,832,000.

; Smoke Drives Out Lodgers.
Roused from their slumbers by cries of
"Fire." and driven by dense clouds of
smoke Into the cold street in scanty at
tire, the 50-odd lodgers of the Dewey
House, corner of Second and Bumside
streets, were rendered homeless last night
between 12 .and 1 o'clock, while the Fire
Department fought a chimney fire which
burned through two rooms, the. wall facing
the street and the roof, causing damages
of $300. The Are, caused by too much
wood In a stove, started In the flue in
-lckson's saloon, directly underneath the
rooming-house. Jack Dunne, proprietor of
the rooming-house, was the heaviest
loser. The fire apparatus had difficulty In
responding, some of the vehicles requiring
extra horses. ,
It Is estimated by a New York builder
that there are buildings under construction
in the city which will aggregate la value
more than $100,000,000.

Estimate of Record Shipment for
Week From Argentina Causes
Selling and a Lower
Range of Prices.
CHICAGO, Jan 7. Foreign news usurped
the field occupied In the last two days by
the cold wave In this country and inspired
a fair degree of bullishners In the wheat pit.
Reports from India and Argentina caused a
firm tone here early In the day. Later In
the session the market reacted on an esti
mate of the week's shipments ot wheat from
Argentina, made by a well-known crop statis
tician. This estimate placed the movement
for the week at 800,000 bushels, the largest
total ever recorded for the first week of any
year. Trade was dull the greater part of
the day and prices fluctuated over a ic
range. The wheat market closed easy, with
May at f 1.074l.OT9 and July at OSc.
The continued unusually small movement
of corn from the farms was the basis of a
strong market for that grain. The market
closed firm, with prices up to Vic to V
VsC with May at 6194c and July at 62c.
Kxtreme dullness marked trading In the
oats pit. The market closed with prices V,"S
V.0 above the previous close. Final quota
