17 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, J1A1' lO, iviiS. BURDEN ON GROWER Mill Men Force Wool Down to Discount Tariff. NO CUT IN LABOR COSTS AVorld Shortage ly Not Offset Ef fect of Removal or DutyReason for IVJtljdrairalu at Ion don Auction. Wool manufacturer In the Fast have apparently adopted the poller of forcing tn burden of free wool on the growers an4 dealer. The views emanating from the Raitars mill aecttona la decidedly bearish in tennr. Predictions axe made that many r tills aril! close Indefinitely or until the ts-iff uncertainty la removed. on phase of the plan of tha fnlllmen will he strenuously resisted by growers. This Is the effort to force value to an unrea sonably Irw level, rmther than attempt to reduce labor coat. Too manufacturer ar rwt that tha organization of labor I ao plfoni that It would bo useless to attack this aid of production coita and they are. therefore, pursuing tho next beat policy. On tha other hand, tba grower aaea no reason why labor ahould be, favored hi thli question. Tho aheep men will naturally onix-ee tho lowering of prices aa much as possible. They are stronger now than for year, moreover, to bold off any attempt of manufacturer to secure the raw ma terial on a low basis. It Is a question whether tho shortage bf wool In various countries will avail to keep prices steady. In the event of free wool. Form factors are sanguine that values will be maintained. Judging from tha trend, at London, rrossbreds are apt to go lower iron. This prediction Is based upon tbe fact that more than 30.000 balca were withdrawn from the auction sales. It Is saJd that tha lack of American demand has been felt and that a break was feared, so the supplies were withdrawn, although other reasons may bo responsible. KW HOPS ARE OFFERED CHEAP Several Firms Willing to Bell t 13 Cents Delivered Spots Neglected. pending definite crop developments In Europe, tho marlset for hop futures is in active. Bids of IS cents tor new Oregons were reported yesterday, but some con' tract business has also been put through at 12 cents. Three firms have offered the new crop to Eastern brewers at IS cents delivered, which would Indicate that they look for a Coast market under It cents. The new crop, however, la far enough away for a good many things to happen to It. Reports received from tho Oregon yards are. as usual, spotted, but on tha whole conditions appear to bo good. With no export demand, tho spot market 1 neglected. Conditions in th eEnglish market, accord ing to London deajers circulars, aro as follows: u Ud. Neamo ft Co.

Buying of mora -than 250.000 bushels of May wheat was made by strong firms about the middle of the session. That option bounded up c at once and sympathetically July and Septemtter also rose, though less sharply. When the May flurry struck the wheat pit, tne maricet aireaay naa begun to harden. Supplies were found to be very light at the opening and values Improved in spite of generally lower cables, fine grow ing weather for the "domestic crop, large primary arrivals ana rather moderate snip ping trade. Primary receipts of wheat, 6U.000 busn- eds: last year 463.000 bushels. Seaboard clearances of wheat and flour equalled 370, 0O0 bushels. Corn was helped by reported crop damage from cold rains in Argentina and by delays to domestic shipments due to wet weather. Strength In Western cash markets also stif fened prices. Oats advanced on persistent reports or crop damage. Provision trade was very light. Such little streugth as the market showed Vas due largely to better prices at the yards.

Bear Traders Unable to Bring Out Long; Supplies Cash Gain by Banks Is Indicated. V NEW YORK. May 9. After a slight de pression in the early trading, followed by an upturn which put the Harrlman stocks and a few others a point above yesterday's close, the market came almost to a halt to day. In oue hour only 8000 shares were trad ed in. The movement, as a whole, was without Importance and served merely to emphasize the lack of demand for securities and the reluctance of traders to take a defi nite position in the market at this time. Failure of the market to respond to yes terday's brilliant crop report encouraged bear tradera to put out new lines at the outset, but they were unable to bring out long stock and quickly reversed their po sition. Forecasts of the quarterly United States Steel statement Indicated a falling off In ord-rs. The emphatic vote by which the tariff Mil passed the House and tbe situation arising from California's stand on the Japanese question were other Influences which played their part in restricting specu lative activity.

The Commercial Bulle tin tomorrow will say of the wool market: Conditions in the seaboard wool markets continue very much unsettled. For the small quantities of wool which manufactur ers need they are willing to pay very fair prices, but on left-over wools which dealers try to sell, values are necessarily sacrificed In the West buying of the new clip has been resumed, but not in any extensive man ner.
