EARLY SHORN WOOLS ARE MOVLNG
Contracting Ceases in Oregon, but Is Active
in Other States.
There have been a number of sales of
shorn wool In the Yakima country and at
the local stockyards, but no contracting -has
been done in tho past week in Oregon,
."Washington or Western Idaho and it is not
likely there will be much more business in
wool on the sheep's back in this section.
At other points in the West contracting
Is still fairly active. In spite of advanced
prices asked by growers. Choice fine wools
have been taken in Montana at 17 to la
cents, which means a clean cost laid down in
the East above current quotations on old
wools. Considerablo wool has been secured
in that state at 16 to 17 cents.
Elsewhere prices are equally firm. In the
Triangle an occasional clip has brought 18
cents, with others celling at 16 to 17
cents. Contracts have been closed, it is re
ported, along the line of tho Burlington
road in Wyoming at 14 to 10 cents and In
the Casper district at 14 to 15 cents. Few
clips are left in Utah and Nevada. Some
dealers estimate that 60 per cent of the
wool In Nevada and the Soda Springs dis
trict Is covered by contract.
Of the total domestic territory clip of
1914 wool authorities estimate that 20 to
25 per cent to under contract. This means
between 3,"i.000,O00 and -40,000.000 pounds.
Some woolmen figure the amount as high
as 5C',000.00 pounds.
ORIENT NOT INTERESTED IN GRAIN
Efforts to Sell Flour or Wheat to Japanese
Are ?ot Successful.
Efforts made by millers and dealers to
interest the Orient in flour or wheat are not
successful. From evry point comes the
report that present stocks are large and
that it Is not a matter ot price. California
is the only good outlet now. but business
even with that quarter is light, as ' wheat
dealers do not have much to offer and find
it almost Impossible to buy more In the
country.
Weekly foreign wheat shipments were as

STRAWBERRIES IN FROM EOS ANC.ELES
Quality of First Shipment Is Fine and lot
Is Soon Disposed Of. -Front
street saw the first strawberries of
the season yesterday. A shipment of six
pony refrigerators arrived from Los Angeles
and, as the quality was good, they were
disposed, of in short order. The berries
sold at 25 cents per half-pint basket. An
other shipment of five or six freezers is due
today.
Among the vegetable receipts were CO
"crates of celery from Florida, which were
Quoted at So.OO. Celery is being brought
from that state, as the California shipping
season is about over.
California vegetable receipts were light
and former prices were quoted.
KGti STORlNrf Oft j jfLARGER SCALE
Speculators Buy - Ep All Stock Offered at
Firm Prices.
Egg peculators seem satisfied that prices
will go no lower this season, for they are
buying all that are offered now at 1SV4 and
ID cents. The demand was so sharp yes
terday that the market was quoted strong
snd it would occasion little surprise it the
opening of the coming week saw an ad
vance of half a cent or so.
Receipts of poultry and dressed meats
were rather light and everything cleaned up
early at firm prices.
The -butter market continues firm, with
the demand In excess of the supply.
California Hop. Market Firm.
The hop market in this state appears to
be blocked. There is a moderate demand,
hut few sellers who have good hops to of
fer. A Californai wire reported 17 H cents of
fered for Sacramentos. which indicates an
equally firm market there. The Colburn
lot of 100 bales of low-grade Sacramentos
was sold" at 15 cents.

Cetiti-alia Bonds in Demand.
CENTRA LI A, Wash.. March 20. (Spe
cial.) The City Commission yesterday
received an offer from the United
States National Bank, throug-h Eastern
clients, to buy up the entire bond issue
of $116,000 at 5 per cent Interest, pro
viding the issije is voted April 1 and
its legality is established. The bonds
are to be used in taking up a like
amount of outstanding warrants. The
interest rate of the offer is one-half
per cent lower than the city figured
it would have to pay, and it is be
lieved that even better offers will be
received before tho election.
SWING IS UPWARD
Substantial Advance in Wall
Street Stocks.
BEGINS WITH RAILROADS
Impression Prevails That Adtuinis
. tratjon . l-'avors . Higher Freight
Kates for JiUistern Twines.
Coppers Are Strong.
NEW YORK, March 20. An advance
which began in the Eastern railroad stocks
UVay ultimately extended through the mar
ker. -hieh showed material improvement at
the ekise. Railroad shares were- moat con
spicuous in the day's dealings, and their
strength was associated with Intimations
from Washington that the Administration
favored an advance in freight rates for the
Eastern lines.
Speculative opinion for some time has
inclined to the belief Chat the railroads
would obtain part. If not all, of the 5 per
cent Increase sought. t Industrial stocks
held back for a time, but at last joined In
the upturn, although their gains, as a
whole, were leas important.
Coppers were helped by expansion of the
export movement of the metal and a re
ported increase in domestic consumption.
Prospects were for another good bank
statement. The week's known movements
of currency called for a cash gain of $3.O0O..
000 or more. Time money rates showed an
easier tendency.
In the bond market there was an irregu
lar movement. Total sales, par value, $2,
630.000. United States 2s registered ad
vanced 54 and the 2s coupon declined hi on
call.

COMMODITY PRICKS TEND DOWNWARD
Winter Wheat Crop Conditions Are Prom
ising Iron Trade quiet.
NEW YORK. March 20. Dun's Review
will say tomorrow:
This is the between-seasons period in
various branches of trade, and significant
changes In the business situation are lack
ing. Broadly considered, conditions are
quiet, although Indications of progress are
not wholly absent. There la no uniform
trend toward improvement.
Expectations that the approach of Spring
would be accompanied by a revival In iron
and steel have not been realized, and en
larged buying will soon be necessary to
prevent curtailment of operations.
In view of the fact that the prosperity of
the country depends largely upon crops, it
is gratifying that the outlook for Winter
-wheat leaves little to be desired. Exports of
breadstuffs last month were worth less
than in the same period a year ago, but
thts discrepancy waa more -than offset by
the increase in cotton.
The recent downward trend in commodity
prices was again in evidence this week. -
Failures this week numbered 347 in the
United States, against 204 last year, and S6
In Canada, compared with 33.

CORN PRICES BREAK
Buying in Argentina Upsets
Chicago Market.
LONGS IN RUSH TO SELL
Wheat Depressed in Sympathy, but
Comparatively Firm . Most of
Day on Export Business
atXewYork.
CHICAGO. March 20. Argentine corn to
day put unmistakable pressure on all kinds
of grain. Largely In consequence, future
deliveries of corn here finished somewhat
heavy at a decline of l-3 to e for the
day. Wheat showed a net loss of He to c
and oats were unchanged to H,c down.
In provisions, tho outcome varied from last
night's level to an advance of Cc.
At least for the time being it was appar
ent that the edge was off the corn market.
Longs rushed the corn pit with sales to
realize profits. After the ensuing break,
some of the hardier speculators began to
reinstate their lines, and there was a good
deal of covering by shorts. Rallying prices,
however, brought on a renewal of the sell.
ing aud left the market at almost the low
est point of the session.
Although" depressed in sympathy with
corn, wheat displayed comparative strength
most of the day. Crop news was favorable
everywhere, but was offset by export bust
ness at New Y'ork.
Oata had 'no independent action and gave
way to tho set-back In other grain.
Buying on the part of packers upheld pro
visions. Higher prices for hogs seemed to
be a sufficient reason.
