MOHAIR
Pool at Sclo. Sells at 37y2
Cents a Pound.
TWO CENTS OVER DALLAS
Spirited Competition Between the
Sanford and Portland Mills En
ables the Eastern- Company
to Jet the , Pool.
Oregon mohair haa climbed to the highest
price known In years. - At Sclo yesterday a
pool of 13,000 pounds waa sold at 87 hi cent
a pound. Thla high figure, which Is 2)
cent above the top bid for tbe Dallas pool
"aturdar. was the result of competition
between the mills, according to the follow
ing spcclsj dispatch: .
"Sclo. Or.. April 10. (Special.) The mo
hair pool waa eold today to Herman Metz
ger. of Portland, representing the -Sanford
Mohair Mills, at 3TH cents a pound. A. J
Ray. of Portland, who waa said to be act
Ing for the Multnomah Mohair Mills, of
that city, bid 3Ti cent for the lot. The
only other bidder waa William Brown
Co., of Falem, who telephoned In a bid of
84 Vj cents. The competition between Metx-
ger and Ray was aplrlted. and tbe good
price paid waa very gratifying to the goat-
raleera of thla aoctlon. There were 4000
fleecea, or about ' IS. 000 pounda of mohair
In the pooL
Mohair price In Oregon thji on have
been higher than anywhere else In the
United States, and the Impression ha been
general that the principal cause waa the
rivalry between the Eaatern and the Pert
land mills.
Tbe sanford Mill, which secured this lot.
are located at Sanford. Me., and are the
largest, mohair mills In the world. For the
past 30 years they have been buying mo
hair la Oregon, frequently taking the bulk
of the clip, and they evidently were not
disposed to be forced out of this territory
by the new Portland Institution.
The mohair grower of Oregon, therefore,
have reason to congratulate themselves
over the establishment of a mohair plant
here, for the competitive buying haa raised
the price of tbe product to aa exceptionally
high level.
Pool Rale at Oregoa Clly.
OHEOOS CITT, Or., April 20. The first
successful mohair pool ever negotiated In
Clackamas County haa been closed by the
Oregon commission Company, of this city.
The company obtained durlqat the last week
80 pound of fin mohair and aold It to a
Portland concern at Un cents. Thla Is the
aame figure that the 00.000-pound pool at
Dallas brought a few daya ago.

Response to the Bullish Foreign
Xews May Closes 1 5-8
Cents ' Hither.
CHICAGO. April 20. Unpromising condl
tlona In Europe sent the wheat market
soaring today. An official report on the
Winter wheat crop of Prussia estimated
condition at 76 per cent, a decline of eight
points compared with a year ago. Imme
diately the Inference was drawn by traders
that the more extensive acreage adjoining
In Russia might also turn out to have a
much smaller yield than 12 months ago.
From Hungary, too. came disquietinir state
ment concerning the outlook for the grow
ing grain In that country and telling of a
squeeze In prices nt Buda Pest. Excitement
at Liverpool, due In part to scanty arrivals
reported by Buenos Ayres. had a parallel
In the pit here. The whirl upwards began
at the outset of business and lasted through
the day. High and low levels for lay
proved to be OOVc and SO 4 c. with the
closing 1 4 614 c up at Hue.
Big shorts In corn took to the buying
side In earnest, one prominent house cov
ering a line of l.ooO.O'iO burhels. May
ranged from C04c to 50400o, closing
firm He net higher at the top figures
reached. Cash grades were strong. No. 2
yellow finished nt SlW514e.
Sympathy with other gralna lifted the
oats market. The May option varied be
tween 3H4C314C and 324c. with last sales
32i'324c. a net gain of 4 iff 4 c.
Provisions were Irregular. When the pit
was cleared, pork had risen 74 010c; lard.
2-c to 5c and riha were the same aa last
night to 574c higher.
