MOHAIR
HIGHER
The moliriir market is stronger and under
ctlve competition prices have advanced.
The nmrket is now Quoted at 2U cents
Portland.
Two factors have cont ributed to i he ad
vance. In the first place, the American
markets, as a whole, are firm because of
the improved demand for mohair dress
Roods and the fact that tte market is
practically bare, at the beginning of the
season, of old stocks of hair, something
that lias not occurred for many years. A
more Influential factor, however. Is the
buying that Is being done by the new Mult
nomah Mohair Mi lis. The mills are now
about ready to start up.
The lo-at mills expect to .use about a
quarter of the entire mohair clip of Ore
gon. They will play even a more Import
ant part in the market In years to come,
as their capacity is increased. A few large
Eastern mills ha e in the past bought up
all the Oregon hair and this year, as usual,
their buyers are in the field, but for the
first time they have home competition to
contend with. The upward course of pj-lces
is the natural result.
While the basis of 2G'-i cents Portland has
been established by the latent buying oper
ations, there have been purchases of extra
choice clips at a better price.
rOl'Nl Bl'YKKS BEARING OATS MARKET
(jettlne Ready for the Big Kxperted' Gov
ernment Order.
There was not much life in the local grain
market yesterday, and Monday's prices were
repeated. A heavy tone persists In the oata
market, particularly on the 9.iund. It Is now
believed to be assured that the Government
will require Tow tons of oats and may take
10,000 tons. It is this possibility that ac
counts for the bearish talk on the part of
iuyen in the North. They ore not discussing
what will happen to the market, however,
when this big quantity of grain is taken off
of it.
The -weekly circular of Scott, Mager &
Miller, of e?an Francisco, says the Northern
demand for alfalfa had practically ceased.
The few orders being shipied are hay that
was contracted heretofore. The circular says
of the general market:
The demand is surprisingly light and we
look for no Improvement. Conmimers are only
laying in enough for their immediate need.
A fancy car of wheat or red oat hay might
be likened unto an oasis in a desert, eagerly
nought after, but the balance of the market
1 like the balance of .the desert. We quote
all grades of hay lower. Export demand for
Hawaii has been light. Holders f-of country
stocks have ben very actice the past week,
endeavoring to dispose of more or lews of
their holdings, without much success far
as we caa observe. Reports from all sections
of the country continue to predict a- banner
crop of both hay and grain.
Local receipts, in cars, w-ere reported by the
Merchants Kxliange as follows:

ANOTHER AIYANCE1S KGti l'RKKS.
JlccHpta Are Not Sufficient In View of the
Ijitrge shipping Demand.
Egg prices were advanced another half
cent on Front street yesterday. Dealers
qu tiled 24 and 4 cents. Receipts were
entirely insufficient in view of .the strong
demand from the north. As the demand
from now on will Increase, it is not likely
that prices will recede. A large shipment
of California eggs w as received by a local
dealer yesterday and Seattle is getting con
siderable quantities of eggs from the East.
This shows, plainer than anything else, that
kk production in Orocort has not kept up
with the growing needs of the population.
There, was a fair supply of poultry on the
t rect. for which buyers were not keen.
The market was, therefore, barely steady.
A good supply of Eastern dressed poultry
la on the market, which is principally
responsible for the higher demand for live
poultry at the high prices that have been
current.
The butter market was active with no
change in prices.
Ol rl R KAV CROP HOI C ONTRACTS
ha lent Oenler Reported to He Hiiltlinjt 10
Cent.
Reports were in circulation in the hop mar
ket yesterday that a Salem dealer was offer
ing 10 cents for contracts. The buines re
cently none in this state has been at 15 cents.
There was some contracting in California yes
terday at IM cents. No business fn spot
hop was reported anywhere on the CoaiJt.
The A atcrvillo Times says of crop and mar
ket conditional in New York State:
Work jn the h.ipyardj is now engaging the
attention of the -pgrowers hereabouts, f. J.
Bennett, one of the largest growers here, hav
ing about Fn acres of hops under cultivation.
rVxpects to have fully .10 acre grubbed and
poled by tomorrow night. It Is seldom that
April nrM finds the work so far advanced.
There is ne inquiry from dealers and the
market is far from dead, for dealers stand
l-rtady to buy at any time that they can get
the goods they want at present prices. The
growers who have held their hops thus far
show no inclination to let them go yet and
the market i consequently as firm &b ever.
AMaragu la Lower Again.
"Business in green produce was of mod
erate proportions. Asparagus was very
plentiful and lower at hi fr 0 cents for
white and 7 'fl S cents for fancy. Other
wise the market was unchanged.
A mon g the recei pt s were a car each of
celery, oranges and bananas.

SEATTLE, Wash., April 5. (Special.)
The feature of the dairy produce market
today w as the strength of butter. The
supply of local butter has not increased
as rapidly as expected, and prices are so
maintained in California and tho East that
jobbers are afraid to bring in outside stock.
Efforts to secure butter in Portland today
failed, a shortage being reported thrre.
Eggs sold well and were reported firm in
some quarters.
Recent receipts of -bananas have been lib
eral and the price has sagged slightly,
some good stock now selling as low as
4 cents, with 5 cents the top.
No berries were received from the South
today, although some were expected.
Potatoes are barely steady.
The light that has prevailed in the lemon
trade for " some time is not now as acute
as it has been. The bottom Is now about $4.
Grain markets were unchanged.

NEW YORK. April 5. The relative activity
in the firft and last hours of today's stock
market resrued it from what would other
wise have been the dullest day of the present
year and converted the closing Into decided
animation. The orders whose execution shaped
that .episode came apparently -from profes
sional SOUIT'"!.
The discussion in stock market circles
showed a shift of opinion as to the likely
promptitude of a decision by the Supreme
Court in the Important case.- involving the
anti-tru.wt question. Yesterday's anticipation
jf immediate action was changed to growing
resignation to a probable delay until the end
of the present term of the court or even until
the end of the Fa 11 term . to aff rd t Ime for
the aps'milation of the American Trfbacco and
Standard Oil cases into one decision.
The dimensions which the gold export move
ment is assuming was regarded as an effect
rather than a cau.e of the stagnant specula
tion. The London money market was en
gaged today with the redemption of the $lo5.
(roo.ooo war loan, whigh was expected to mirk
the period of the most pressing government
requirements'. The continued urgent demand
for our gold is attributed to preparation for
the next Mock market settlement In London.
The decision to place the Union Bank, of
Brooklyn, in liquidation made an unpleasant
impression, although no other institution is
suppoed to be directly involved in the arTair.
The incident is an eftermath of the panic of
19 '7 and is due to inadequate measure of re
organization. The example of the Union Rank
carries a suggestion that there may be correc
tions yet to be accomplished of the condi
tions holding over from that period.
United States Steel was a prominent figure
in the day's market movement. The estimates
of the corporation's earnings for the first
quarter of the year had an influence on the
stock and were made the basis for predic
tions of an increase in the dividend rate at
the directors meeting on the last Tuesday in
the month.
Rains in the Winter wheat belt were a fa
v.r:thle influence on stocks, although the
closing of the most important wheat markets,
on account of local election holidays, left the
effects in that market somewhat obscure.
A hreak in cotton was considered with at
tentive interest in the financial district. The
belief is widespread that important specula
tive liquidation in the commodities markets is
a probable event of the not distant future.

TALE OF SLAVERY TOLD
Japanese fiirl Accuses Country man
- of Selling lier.
SEATTLE, Wash., April 5. Yukis
Shiuzaki, a 20-year-old Japanese wo
man, testified in the Superior Court to
day against Tokuyi Asano. .who is al
leged to have kept her in slavery more
than a year, until she escaped by mak
ing an outcry on the street while she
was being transferred to a Tacoma,
slave pen from one in Seattle.
The prosecution .is being conducted
by United States immigration officials.
Miss Shiuzaki swore that she had
been twice sold into slavery since com
ing to America in 1907. She said she
was sold in Bellingham in 1908 by
Takahashi Tokenjiro to Asano, who,
after keeping her at work in Belling
ham for a month, brought her to the
Seattle slave district, Asano, she says,
agreed to let her buy her freedom for
$750 and she paid a large part of this
sum. Last September, however, she
was told that she had been sold to a
Japanese named Noguchi. When No
guchi came from Tacoma to get his
property, the girl fled screaming to the
street, the immigration officials heard
of the case, Noguchi fled1 to Japan and
Asano was arrested.
