THE 3IORXIXG OBEGOMAX, FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 1914. -, t - : ; GROWERS SELL FUST Wool Activity Transferred to . Eastern Washington. COMPETITION IS GOOD xjut 3 0 0,0 00 Pounds Change Hands In Past Week at Prices Tliat Prevailed in Yaki ma Section. Wool activity in the territory visited by Portland buyers has been transferred " to Eastern Washington. Shearing is in progress In the sections east of Pasco and growers are selling just as readily "as they did in the Yakima Valley. Aout 300.000 pounds of wool have changed hands In the past week at prices about the same as prevailed In the preceding week. As the Washing ton c rowers are getting 1 to 2 cents more than most of them anticipated, they are let ting go of their clips as fast as they are ready for market. The heaviest buyers have been Charles H. Green, Isidore Kosh land, Judd A Root, The Dalles Scouring Mill and Frank Bennett, of New Jersey, a new man in the field. Oregon shearing has started in a small way at Echo and the shearing plant at that point will start operations next week. Two cars have already been shipped out on con signment. There has been no contracting of moment in this state since the -buying of a few weeks ago. In the trade It is believed that growers will ssll with a good deal of freedom as soon as shearing is well under way. According to advices just received, from Utah t5 per cent of the clip of that state .has -been placed under contract. Utah usually produces about 14.000,000 pounds. In Montana, where contracting has also been lively, from 30 to 50 per cent of the clip of the state has been sold. Buyers in Mon tana have paid 18 cents for average wools and 1S4 cents for staple half-blood. For a choice clip 19 cents was paid. Some of the growers there are holding out for 20 cents and in the Triangle 19 cents is asked. East ern authorities estimate that from one-third to one-half of the territory clip has been contracted for to date. It has been 'a de cidedly fast market. Commenting on the general market situa tion, the Boston Commercial Bulletin says: "Despite the moderate business which has been accomplished in wool during the past week, values appear to tend upwards with the same inflexibility that characterized the administration of the ancient law of the Medes and Persians, although the level of values is hardly equal to the closing at Lon don even yet. Prices are high and yet the basic conditions underlying the market are unquestionably sound. "Supplies of old domestic grease wools are extremely limited and buyers who want cer tain domestic wools for blends frequently find the utmost difficulty in getting what fhey want, even In the smallest quantities. Undoubtedly many of tne better early shorn clips will find quick transit to the mills." HOP TRADE NEARLY AT STANDSTILL Only One Transaction This Week and That Between Dealers. Ko business has taken place in the local hop market this week aside from a small lot of 1913s that changed hands between dealers at 17 cents. A few buyers are of fering 15 cents for contracts, but trade in this line is also quiet. English hop dealers' circulars say of trade in that market; - Wild, Neame & Co., London Business has been quiet during the week, values remain ing steady at their recent level. Thornton & Manger, London Many bids t at the recent advance in price have been refused during the last week and as buyers decline to increase their offers, business is restricted and market remains quiet. ' .' Manger & Henley, London The tone of the market keeps very firm and a good steady business continues to be done at the recent advance. W. H. & H. LeMay. London The volume of trade passing has been smaller during the past week, due, more particularly, to the scarcity of available supplies offering at cur rent market rates. Charles Faram & Co., Worcester A steady business is doing. Where growers will ac cept late rates they readily find buyers, but any further advance is resisted. One hundred and fifty pockets growers hops have been weighed during the past week. - MILL 1KEU PRICES ARE ADVANCED Fifty-Cent Rie in Local Quotations Wheat Very linn. . The scarcity of mill feed and the slim prospects of the supply being increased in the near future have caused another advance in local prices. Several of the mills raised the price of shorts yesterday to Wheat was held very firmly. What little Is left now in the hands of farmers is most ly in small lots. . The sale of 10,000 bushels of Umatilla cTrii.prlce equal to better than 93 cents tidewater shows the strength of the market. Oats and barley continue quiet and rather weak. Local receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay -Monday ..... :t4 .1 1 11 Tuesday :t ' 8 "Wedneisday ,:.'! r, Thursday ... x Year a;o .... .

There will be a sharp drop of four cents a pound, in city creamery batter today. The new quotation on prints will be 2o cents and on cubes 22 cents. The make has in creased., and for two days now most of the creameries have had a surplus on hand. Shipping orders are not so active, and the ' weakness of the Eastern and California markets are depressing factors. It Is prob ablo the market will descend to a still lower level before storing begins. Eggs held steady at cents, with the demand sufficient to take care of all the recelnpts. There was a steadier feeling in the poul try, market, as receipts were much lighter than on Wednesday. The best hens sold at 1 cents, and Spring broilers at 27 $j ao cents. Dressed meat receipts were liberal and prices were weak. BARRIES ARE IN BETTER DEMAND Active Movement in Orange Market Celery I'rom 1-loridkSw A small shipment of Florin strawberries was received yesterday and sold Quickly at $4 a crate. ' The demand for oranges was ac tive and will continue good until local straw, berries are plentiful and cheap. Ripe bananas were scarce on the street. A car of Florida celery arrived in good condition and sold well at $3.73 a crate. Asparagus is cleaning up well on the street. The market is firm, as prices are higher in the south. The warmer weather Is responsible for larger receipts of local Thubarb. Front street dealers are complain. nr of xne snort-weight crates of spinach that are toeing shipped in from The Dalles. Some of these are of not more than eight pounds neu As the haul is short, it would be safe to pack much more spinach in the crates. Box Apples llrro In East. New York mail advices say of the trade In Western apples: "lieceipts of boxes con tinue to keep pace with trade requirements, and in this connection it might be stated that, the demand for boxed apples is on the increase from week to week as the season advances. Varieties of all sorts have held firm at last week's values, with the ex ception " of Winesaps. which are sellin? around $2.00 for best -marks." Bank Clearings.

Kast Flanders street district includes Kast Couch from Grand avenue to Kast Sixth, one block, and the intersections of Cast Seventh. Kast Kighth and Kast Ninth streets. J. R. widmer said that the East Couch property owners will receive no benefit from this improvement, as only segregated portions are to be paved a..d they are to be taxed heavily for :he three intersections and a single block. "We wanted East Couch street taken out of East Flanders district, but the Council and Commissioner Dieck refused to do this." said Mr. Widmer.
