MU5.04.4 llG.S'.HS CONTRACTING UNDER WAY Shearing Starts in Eastern Oregon and Buyers Anticipate Active Market North Bank Clips Are Purchased. Fifty thousand pounds of wool were sold at Echo Wednesday. The exact price was not learned, but it is understood to ne high. This wool, which Is all that has been shorn at that point so far, was chiefly from mutton sheep. A little contractitiK has been done In Kastern Oregon in the past few days, amounting to probably 15,000 or 20,000 fleeces, at 15 cents for choice clips. Buyers have made offers to contract in the Pendle ton' and Heppner sections, but the growers there are inclined to hold for the sales days, which are only six or seven weeks off. Throughout Eastern Oregon sheepmen ex press a. determination to await tbe regular sealed bid sales, yet dealers believe wool will move fast after shearing starts. A little shearing has been done at Castle - Rock and at Arlington, and operations will start in the Pilot Rock country about April About 50.0O0 pounds of wool have been sold this week at points on the Columbia Kiver in Washington, between Roosevelt and Plymouth. The prices paid ranged from lo lrt cents. But little wool remains in growers own ership in Utah or Nevada. In the latter state some shearing has befn done and few lots are on the way East. Buyers are offering and paying 18 cents for average grade in Idaho and the Triangle, and in few instances half a cent better is reported In Montana, average clips have been bought at 18 cents, while for two or three of th best clips of mediums and half-bloods, 1 U cents has been paid. Many Montana grow ers are holding for a. 20-cent market. There has been active buying around Rawlins, Casper and Rock Springs. Wyo. Dealers figure the wools bought there on a, 52 to cent clean landed basis. The wool market is undeniably strong. That the spirit is not wholly speculative I shown by tho pressure of repreaenta ti ves o: Eastern mills in the field. At least three such agents are operating in Oregon, an they are picking up every lot they can get As one great cause of the strong mark is the scarcity of spot supplies, it remains to be seen what will be the result when the Western clip, or a considerable part of it. I is put on the market. That time, however. 1 is two or hree months distant, and in the meantime the Oregon growers will have ample opportunity to dispose of their clips on a safe and sound market. The healthy condition of the world's wool market may prevent a reaction the, but much will de pend on general industrial conditions in this country.

ENTERPRISE. Or., April !. (Special.) The wool-buying season has opened in Wal lowa County with the contracting of five considerable clips. The price, which was not given out, was substantially above last year's figures. All Spring the growers have been holding off for higher prices, and the fact that contracts have been made indi cates that they and the buyers have met and both are satisfied. J. A. Funk, buying for Hecht, I-iebmann & Co.. of Boston, has taken the clips of R. F. and Omar Stubblef ield. aggregating tS00 .fleeces. Frank A. Clarke, representing Hai ti well, Jones & Donald. of Boston. has bought the clips of Litch & Huffman. COOO fleeces; J. Ray Johnson. 2400, and J. C. Mc- Fetridge & Sons, 1400. The clip this year promises to be de cidedly better than that of last year, which is a factor in the better prices. The Winter a year ago was extraordinarily severe and sheep came through poor and with light fleeces. The Winter just ended was very mild, with abundance of feed, and sheep are In prime condition. The opinion of those who are now sellig appears to be that in this section the prices are now at a level where nothing is to be gained by holding. Shearing will start about May 1 in W. H. Durham's plant, whfch will be located on Swamp Creek, the removal from the hill: being considered advisable to get nearer to the low level ranges where there Is less dan ger of cold weather. Fred W. Falconer and Jay H. Dobbin will be among the first to shear. C. B. Daugherty will be on hand early.
