The Htllsboro mohair pool of about 7000 pound, wu sold to A. J. Ray & Son, of this oity. at slightly over 24 cents A pool of about tha aame else at Solo brought eenta. On or two other amall pools ara left and will be closed out In the near future. There la a rood demand for the mohair that la left In private handa throughout tha ratley ana it will probably all be taken up at the prices fixed at th pool also. Tha demand, however. Is lara-ely lo as dealers operating for Eastern houses claim they cannot buy at the prloea now ruling. Eastern trade papers report the tnarkat for raw mohair and manufactured goods to be In a lifeless condition and the pricea quoted at Boston are below a parity with tba Oregon market. Notwithstanding all this there Is reason to believe that the Oregon market will continue firm up to the end. That the Improvement here Is due to the steps taken to establish a bis mohair mill In this tate can be taken for granted. 0TRAW15EURXES ARE TTV TCatAJTD. Tesretaoles of All Kind Sell Well Potato Buying. Strawberries were the active feature of (he frolt market yesterday. L,os Angeles terries cleaned up well and the price was arm at fa per crate. Newcastle berries were quoted at the same price and Florins at $1.00942. A car of Lkjs Angeles berries arrived last nig-ht. The steamer brought up a good assort ment of vegetables, which sold well.

Oregon asparagus n quoted at 76 cents a dosen and Cali fornia at 5 cents a pound. Peas were In oversurply and weak at 8 7c. Potato buying Is still being . carried on more or less actively by speculators and shippers and full prices are being- offered In the country. WHEAT PRICES HOLD UP WELL. Sellers Are Not Disposed to Make Con cessions. The slump' In the Eastern and foreign wheat markets had no effeot on the wheat trade here beyond causing buyers to be somewhat more reserved. Sellers maintained their former strong po sition and would make no concessions. A little business was done In club wheat on Southern account at Q1.20. Oats were steady, with dealers quoting $40941 per ton. The demand Is not par ticularly brisk, but full prices have to ba paid when bustneas la attempted. Barley was strong at Mondays advance. About 400 tons of California barley are yet so come North. Receipts, m cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay April 1T-18 10 S 12 S a Prtl 18 4 1 1 Total last week. 26 44 12 2a NO STTRPLrS EC CITEESIS MARKET. Receipts An Larrer But Prices Hold Firm. About 000 cases of cheese will reach Portland this weak from the Tillamook fac tories. This, with the 800 cases reoelved last waek will relieve the scarcity here and In tha North, but will not leave a surplus, a the dealers have baolt orders for the full quantity. Prices, therefore," continue on a vary firm baa la There were no new developments In the kutter market yesterday and none ta looked tVir before next week. Eggs were Arm, with sales at 221, and 8 cents. Arrivals are not sufficient to meet tha snipping, storage and local de mand. Poultry receipts were not heavy and prices held steady.

IN aiore Gold Engaged for Export to Argentina Strong Investment Demand for Bonds. '"ni. April 20. The strength of iteaaing was the principal sustaining i nuence in today's stock market. Without mat. prices apparently would have sagged n.iee u tune proms were the order of the day In the malorltv of th. hm The special etrength of Reading was the partly soi the persistent rise tn the price or central Kallroad of New Jersey. In which Reading is a large holder. This strength was transferred todnv h.im- Ohio, because that company shares with the Lake Shore control of Reading Itself. While the demand tn the general list failed to respond, there was hesitation about selling. The consequence was a considerable reduction iu mo volume or market activity, outside .th uoaiers ana a narrow price movement. The selling became more conspicuous late in the day. The highly speculative nature of the ordinary Reading movement and the doubtful character of some of the specialties brought into prominence caused their in fluence to wane. More gold was engaged for export to South America, and there was an option on part of the engagements for export to France. Securi ties markets everywhere seemed to regard the inarch of events In Turkey with continued tranquillity. Notice by the bankers of an advance in the offered price of the Michigan Central deben tures 4 per cent bonds was regarded as evi dence of the sustained Investment demdnd. United States bonds were unchanged on cell. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Low. Bid. Sales. High Amal Copper Am Car & Foun do preferred . . . Am Cotton Oil... Am Hd & Lt pf. Am 3 ce Securl . .
