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:

SHARP DECLINE IN BITTER TODAY
City Creamery Extras Wll Be Reduced to
tenlw Kggs Steady.
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."

Remonstrance aKalntt the East Flan

takes in portions of Kast Couch atreet.
is beinir circulated by the Kast Couch
Property Owners' Association. 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.
"The property owners object to paying
for these patches and receiving no
benefit. We want East Couch either
widened or paved from Kast Third to
Kast Twenty-eiehlh streets. Property
owners are signing the remonstrance."
