EASTERN FIRMS OPERATE Purchases Sultl to Total Over 5,000,. 00 0 rounds at Prices Kangtng Vp to 1 6 Cents Xo Bayers Vet in Eastern Oregon. Th. enter' of interest in Uis wool mar ket Is sulftinp to t'na "West, when con tracting U assuming- larjnr proportions. As stated In these columns last week, th buy las; of wool on the sheep's back started tn Trtah, but It has bow spread to other terri tory sections. No contracting; has been done t In Eastern OretTon. "Washington or Idaho o far as local dealers have been advised, but elsewhere In the West forward purohas ln has become active. It Is believed that contracts have already been entered Into by Boston and Phila delphia firms for an assrecata of MOO.000 r ,OO0,0OO pounds. The bulk of the busl aess was done In Utah and the Triangle sec tion. Some contracting- has also been done In. Nevada, and there are reports of busl Bess In Wyoming. Good prices were paid, eeerdlns- to the reports received, ranging from 13 to IS cents tn Northern Utah n JUP to 15 H and IS cents in the Triangle aectipn. The only point where sheariosr has tarted is near Phoenix. Ariz. No sales have occurred there. Commenting on the strength of the con tracting and the early date at which It has begun, the Boston Commercial Bulletin says: "The motive causing this action, styled ... i . , ... . . , ,. Bviuo u voig in me lace or iree wool. are patent. In the first place wool is ad mittedly scarce in the seaboard markets and money la fairly nlentifut at lower rates of Interest. Back of all. however. Is the fact that the mills want wool and seem likely to want much more. In other words, the fundamental reason is the faith in the ability of the domestic manufacturers to control the 'omestto market. Nor does this ability extend merely to the manufacture of medium goods, as seemed likely a while ago, but also to even the finer gftods. on which some manufacturers have begun to receive , business. Some merchants In the trade are bold enough to predict that American manu facturers of woolens and worsteds will be selling very generally abroad In the near future. 'It is eertainly Just cause for congratu lation that th rinmPHtti inn nnf f nrera n , finding It possible to compete to such good . advantage with the foreign manufacturer unci it 1h to be hoped that contracting will not proceed to such an unjustified extent as lo prove a boomerang." REFINE TO PAV infill WHEAT PRICKS l arge Buyers Decline to Meet "Extreme Itlds Offered Last Week. Very- tittle a-heat Is being bought at, the present time. Sellers' Idess aro up in the Blr, as a result of las't week's flurry, but buyers refuso to pay. the prices asked and kn.ln.u.

The aggrcgata export flour business booked has not been as larare, according to nippers, as some expected when freights were reduced. Should there be a'nother cut In steamer rates both the wheat and flour . export trado would undoubtedly . art Iteportlng on flour conditions In tho Shang hai market. Consul-General' Amos Wilder writes tinder date of December 0: "While present prices forbid any con siderable business in flour at Shanghai at , this time there are frequent Inquiries from . the United States as to this market, and aome from new quarters. "The last sales made from America were during November, when regular export grade old at ft gold per barrel c t. f. Shanghai. Exchange during November was about '4 gold cents for t tael, and the Shanghai market waa ruling at that time at 1.6714 to 1.S3 taela per hag of 49 pounds for the American export flour. The Shanghai native flour was quoted at 1.60 to 1.5b taela per bag of 49 pounds. No sales have been made during the last 30 days. The present market - price for American flour Is 1.50 to 1.&5 taols per bas. and for tho Shanghai native milled flour 1.4 to 1.50 taela. The present quotation from America for January, Feb ruary and March shipments Is M.12H gold . per barrel of four baga c. I. f.

No material lowering of. egg prices can oc cur hero until the San Francisco market breaks. Thero was a firm demand for most kinds rt poultry. Good hens and Springs brought 17 cents and white ducks sold at IT and 18 cents. Geese were slow and turkey receipts rru BUiail.

RECOVERY IN WHEAT Prices Rally on Rumors of . Sales for Export. SMALL CHANGE AT CLOSE Oats Sell at Lowest Prices of Season In Chicago Pit Weather Condi, tions 'Are Bearish Factor in Corn Market. CHICAGO. Feb. 4. It took but a rumor or export kales today to give the market a complete recovery. Although there waa an easy feeling at the close, quotations which had been depressed nearly all day wound up about the who as the night before, Vic, off to a shade advance. Corn finished io down to Vc up, oats with io. loss and pro visions dearer, by 12 Vi to 30e. To some extent corn rallied with wheat, but not enough to overcome, entirely the ef fects of an early break due to Meal weather for selling and hauling. There, was a big trade tn oats, which sold at the lowest prices , so far this season. Owing to bis - stocks here and elsewhere longs were free sellers until other grain began to rally. Provisions showed decided strength, main ly the result of higher prices for hogs. It waa also pointed out that stocks of cut meats In the West are small compared with last year, and that packing for the week was likewise a laggard. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT.

" Eastern Oregon to Send Strong; De-Ie-arationa to Portland Session and Legislation Expected. "All Eastern Oregon distriots will send strong delegations to the Oregon Irrigation Congress in Portland, Feb ruary 13-14, and I believe that the work accomplished by this congress probably will be greater in its effects than that of either of the two preceding meet ings," Is the opinion expressed by Wil liam Hanlcy, of Burns, .president of the Congress, who is in Portland. "The principal issue that will be up before the congress will bo the general method of financing irrigation and drainage in Oregon," he said. "The time when irrigation promoters sought only the settler with ready money is past and the irrigation development of the future looks to the man who works his salvation out of the soil onto which he goes. "The settler on the irrigated district must bo protected and given the fairest possible chance. Money for the use ot the irrigation settler must be the cheapest possible and the irrigation dis tricts must have as good a bonding and Interest system as a railroad cor poration. This Is the problem that will chiefly engage tho Irrigation Congress, and legislation covering the necessary points of provisions which will bring about the desired results probably will follow the coming session of'the con gress." C. F. Stlnson, president of the Com mercial Club of Pasco, Wash., who was a visitor at the Portland Commercial Club yesterday, sard that business men of that section are greatly Interested in the congress and will send a dele gation to it. "Portland has always been a helper to Pasco," he said, "and we in return do all we can to help Portland. Not only does the Irrigation Congress inter est us, but we are also very much Inter ested in Portland's efforts to secure the branch regional bank and in the great development contemplated on the Co lumbia River." The principal speaker at the Irriga tion Congress will be Duncan Marshall, Minister of Agriculture from the Prov ince of Alberta, Can. Mr. Marshall telegraphed yesterday that he will reach Fjjrtla.nd on February 13. He will speak on agricultural education and livestock as they are related to irriga tion farming. ROAD PROCEDURE DEFINED Lane County Court ced "ot Give Contracts fop AU Jobs. EUGENK, Or.. Feb. 4. '.Special.) Having no special road fund, but pay ing for road construction out of the general fund. Lane County is not obliged to let by contract allwork costing" more than $1000, according to the opinion given the court yester day by County Attorney Devers. The County Court, however, yesterday de termined to let as much work by con tract as proves economical. "We have some districts in which we will want to spend $1200 In repairs and in small bits of new construction," said County Judge Thompson yester day, "and we will try to let the work by contract. You can see, however, hw serious it would be to make spe cifications to cover all this work. If possible we will let such contracts to a bidder, but if this is not con venient, the county will have the work done as in the past."
