THE MORNING O REG ONI AN, TIIURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1909.
EABLY SHORN WOOL
Clip of Mutton Sheep Sells at
15 Cents.
HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR
"o Farther Contracting In Oregon,
but Much Business Is Being
Pone In Other Sections
of the West.
A Mis of 70. WX) pounds of early shorn
fat sheep's wool at Seattle la the only lata
tranaactton reported In the Northwestern
wool market. The price paid waa J5 cents,
which la about S cents niftier than waa
paid last year.
There has been no farther contracting
In Eastern Oregon. A good many growers
are said to be disposed to do business, but
they ask prlcea above what buyera will
pay. . Some contracting- has been done In
-Western Idaho at 21 cent, and Eoda
Springs clips are selling at 20 H to 21
cents. Deals In Nevada have been at 18H
and IT cents. Most of the recent esti
mates are for 9.000.000 to 10,000.000 pounds
contracted In Montana, most of It arly
In the season at 10 to SO cents. It Is
stated that the price has been run up to
22 cent, though there Is no confirmation
of reports of that price being paid. Some
clips have, however, eold at 21 cents and
21 cents. Growers are asking- S3 and 24
cents.
Including Montana, estimates of ths total
amount contracted to dute in the terri
torial section are raised to 60.000.000
pounds, though the accuracy of these esti
mates are very much doubted in soma
quarters. The most conservative estimates
are for 30.000,000 pounds.
From 19 to 21 H- cents Is being- paid In
Phoenix. Ariz., best clips bringing 21 to
21 H cents, making the landed scoured cost
In Boston rising 60 cents. There Is some
contracting of medium wools in Ohio at
25 cents, bnt tt Is believed that no great
amount of business has been accomplished,
as the difficulties are too great, owing
to the small size of Individual holdings.

ri"Ui tr-Uy responsible. There Is a consistent
Inquiry for choice hops, but the market la
prartkally cleared. There haa also been a
f:r demand for yearlings at the low prices

W. H. and H. La May The principal de
rr:ir:d bg still for the lowest priced hops con
sumer. are tempted by the price these brown
hops can be obtained for to stock up.
Manger & HenMy The demand for sound,
useful copper hops continues, and a good,
steady bujvlnees has been done during the
paM week In thla class. The extremely low
prices are evidently proving very tempting to
consumers.

Bayers and Seller Apart In Their Views as

Small quantities of wheat. oats
and barley are changing hands at

Mohair Quiet, But Firm.
The Eastern Mohair market, according
to the latest Boston advices, shows no par
ticular accession of activity, as manufac
turers are still taking supplies with mora
or less conservatism, and chiefly for cur
rent or nearby wants. Prices, however,
are being firmly maintained. Quotations
on domestlo mohair at Boston range as
follows: 'Combing. 252Sc; caroling
(choice), 22.25c; carding (average), 17
19c; Inferior, 14016c: tops, 40c; Nolls

t Keg Market Continues Firm.
Receipts of eggs yesterday were unexpect
edly light, and former prices were easily
maintained under a good shipping demand and
considerable local buying.
Poultry receipts were also small, and,
though buying was act active, prlcea held
firmly.
Butter to moving freely at the late advance,
and supplies of the local creameries are In
most cases Inadequate.
Potatoes and Onions Quiet.
There were no carlot arrivals of fruit or
vegetables from the South yesterday. The
market was fairly well supplied, and trade
a as of average volume.
Potatoes and onions were quiet and inclined
to be easy, reflecting the weakness at San

PORTLAND LIVESTOCK MARKET.
Prlcea' Current Locally on Cattle, Sheep and
Hogs.
More livestock was received yesterday than
haa been the case for many a day, but
the demand was so strong in all lines that
prices were firmly maintained throughout
the list. This condition was helped by the
excellent quality of the receipts. The trade
does not look for excessive arrivals In the
Immediate future and there is little doubt
In their opinion that good prices will con
tinue to prevail. The total receipts yes
terday wvire 490 cattle, 82 hogs and 1906
sheep.

CHECKED
Stock Market Is Given Effec
tual Support.
FEELING IS MUCH BETTER
Cut in Steel Prices Regarded as a
Preliminary to Revival In Trade.
Xo Marked tThange In
Money Market, -
NEW YORK. Feb. 24. A check cam to
day to the disorderly liquidation that 'was
demoralizing the stock market. The percep
tion that the course of yesterday. If contin
ued, would lead to that result prompted some
measure of support. The large short Interests
were prompted to reduce their short linea
with the signs of a greater stability to th
market. This demand waa a potent Influence
In the recovery of. prices.
The buying demand, however, was languid.
After periods of dullness caused by the mu
tual Indifferences of buyera and sellers, ths
traders tested the market by advancing bids.
The undertone of the market was, therefore,
Arm, although lacking aggressive strength.
London apparently was as confused over the
outlook an our own market, and a sharp re
lapse there from a former advance, coming
Just before the rew xora maraet opeueu,
had much to do with the fluctuations of the
afternoon market.
There was a better feeling over the steel
trade outlook and a growth of confidence that
the price concessions on steel products were
a preliminary to revival in the trade. The
proportions of the market readjustment ob
tninerf clearer form and were corrected from
the extravagant aseumptlons of yesterday that
an immediate relapse to the acute conditions
of depression and contraction of 1907 was In
prospect.
The conviction nnds very general expression
that fundamental conditions are shaped to
ward betterment. With the recovering ten
dency once definitely shaped, the require
ments of the large uncovered bear Interest
must be looked to for explanation of the
extent to which the rally ran.
The monev market was unaffected by the
large operation of the Cay. The call for
the return or $30,000,000 or uovernment uo
pofeits to the treasury matured, and the New
York banks turned over many millions of this
amount yesterday and today on account of In
terior correspondents. Over $1,000,000 In gold
was engaged for shipment to Argentina.
T.ast nrices were dearer than yesterday to
the extent of 6 a share for Reading, 3 for
United States Steel and some of the minor
stocks, and from 2 to a a snare tor tne
most prominent railroad stocks.
The bond market was Irregular. Sales,
par value. $5,750,000. United States bonds
were unchanged on can.

LABELED AS "OREGOXS.",
Balfour, Williamson & Co. Success
fully Protest Against Misleading
Labels by English Brokers.
PORTLAND. Feb. 23. (To the Editor.)
We believe that the following correspondence
between our Liverpool firm. Messra Balfour,
Williamson & Company, and Uw Liverpool
Fruit Brokers Association, limited, will
nrove of Interest to a large number of your
subscribers Interested In fruit. The letters
are so explanatory that we feel we, can add
nothing to thm:
Copy of letter from Messrs. Balfour, Wil
liamson & Company. -Liverpool, to Messra
Woodall & Company, Liverpool, dated Feb
ruary 1. 1909:
"On looking over your catalogue today we
see you are offering boxes of four and one
half tier Ben Davis apples marked "Mos
cow." Idaho, as Oregon apples. You are
not the only brokers who have made similar
mistakes, as we notice most of you head
your sales of Washington apples nakimas,
etc.), with the word "Oregon." We dosire
to protest against this use of the word "Ore
gon," as damaging to the genuine Oregon
apples, and will be glad If you will bring
this letter before your association, and put
. ron to this nractlce once and for all.
You might Just as well call Xew York State
apples Malnes or Virginians, as cau wasn
lnirton or Idaho aDnles Oregons. Wo do not
for a moment cast any reflection on the
Washington . or Idaho apples they may or
may not be even superior to the Oregon
apples. But if they are, they will make a
name for themselves, ana ao not neea tne
help of the word "Oregon;" If they are
not, it Is unfair to call them "Oregons." In
both cases it is a false and misleading de
scription. "We will be glad to. know what steps
your association proposes to take to put an
end to the existing state of affairs, and
now await an official reply."
Copy of letter from the Liverpool Fruit
Brokers' Association, limited, Liverpool, to
Messrs. Balfour, Williamson A Company,
Liverpool, dated February 4, 1909:
"Your letter of 1st Inst, addressed to
Messrs. Woodall & Company, complaining
that apples were being Incorrectly described
as "Oregon" in brokers' catalogues, was
discussed at a meeting of my committee
today, when it was decided that you had
perfectly Just grounds for your complaint;
and I am inatructed to Inform you that
steps will at once be taken to have these
removed In future."
Yours truly,
BALFOUR, GUTHRIE & COMPANY,
