THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, APRIIi 23, 1014. 21 WAIT Oil SHEARERS Wool Buyers in Eastern Ore gon Ready for Clips. FIRM PRICES ARE BID Operations in Western States Less "Active, but Prices Are Holding: Their Own Speculation as to . Course of London Sales. Wool buyer in Eastern Oregon ar wait ing1 on the shearers. The demand is keen and it is certain that as soon as the clips are offered they will be taken at the firm prevailing prices. Throughout the "Western states operations have been lighter in the past week than in the few weeks preceding. This Is attrlbu td to the fact that shearing has begun in sections where medium clips predominate. An estimate has been made of the pur chases on contract at 05 per cent in Utah. SO per cent in Nevada, 60 per cent in the Trlanglo, !0 per cent in Wyoming and the same proportion in Montana. In Oregon only a small percetage of the clip was bought on the sheep's back. The last prices paid in all sections Indi cate a sound market. At Mack, Utah, a quantity of shorn wool was pooled and brought, it is reported, 20 cents at a sealed bid sale. Twenty cents flat was paid for another lot In that section. Montana grow ers are asking 19 and 20 cents, but buyers balk at these prices. A lot of 70,000 pounds of Saco district wool was contracted for at 18 cents. In the Boston market business is still largely in foreign cross-breds and merinos. New Western wools are arriving on tho market in a small way and selling as fast as received. Nevadas have brought 18 to 21 cents, tho clips running largely to fine wools. Arizona ranged in price from 21 4 to 23 cents. Regarding the approaching series of auc tion sales in London, it is predicted that fine merinos and fine cross-breeds will hold their sound position. It is believed that medium cross-breds may recede somewhat. The understanding is that care will be taken not to allow the surplus wool, espe cially of New Zealand cross-breds, to swamp the market. Therefore a serious break is not expected, though the indications, it is said, point towards some weakening. KNGI.IMI HOP GROWERS HOLD FIRM Strong Attitude of Holders Causes Suspen sion of Demand. The steadiness of the English hop mar ket. In the face of a limited demand. Is lointed out in the monthly report of the British Board of Agriculture as follows: "The course of business during the past month has confirmed the indications of im provement evident at the end of Febru ary. An active demand prevailed In the early part of March, and values rapidly advanced untii they reached 7 or 8, at which point they have, since . steadily re mained, these figures representing the aver age currency at the present date. The firm attitude of holders, who are generally refusing lower offers, has probably caused the suspension of demand from which the market has suffered within the last week or so, and, as is usual when sales are limited, there are suggestions of possible weakening of prices, which are perhaps strengthened by reports of exceptional and unimportant transactions at figures slightly below the recognized average. But the experience of buyers who may be seeking hops of reliable quality proves the stability of the market on the whole, and the practical impossibility Of securing any good lots at less than 7. "Pacific Coast hops are still being offered at very low prices, which can hardly be re munerative to shippers, but their competi tive influence Is necessarily detrimental to the English section. Very few Continental growths are now obtainable in the Bor ough." CXT IN ORIENTAL FREIGHT KATE MET Wheat Buying ICentricted by Extreme I'irm- netis of Farmers. The cut in freights on wheat and flour to the Orient, announced by one of the lines running out of the Sound, was met by another Japanese line yesterday. No ma terial increase in wheat business followed. for the reason that buyers find it almost Impossible to get supplies in the country Wheat is held stronger by farmers than ever before. There is evident a desire on the part of some dealers to buy, but as they are not disposed to raise their bids, they are not gettlns much. The shorp advances at Chicago and Liverpool yesterday nat urany produced a firmer undertone in the markets on the Coast. Barley trade was sluggish.' Dealers esti mate the unsold stock in Eastern Wash ington at about 1.000,000 bushels. Feed . ub nuotea locally at e-J.OU. The oats market was also dull.

No orders for military or naval supplies have been placed here yet, but Jobbers would not be surprised if such a demand fhould come. Purchases of this kind, how ever, are more likely to be made at San Francisco or Los Angelas. During the Spanish-American War. Government buying an this market was heavy. Fruit dealers are particularly interested 1 4. border developments In the vicinity of the Imp rial Valley.

Cargoes Via Tehusstepee Route Mlsht Be Interfered With, it Is Felt, If Ilaerta'a Hand Is Forced. Operations in Mexican waters by the American fleet had not brought ex plicit ordera late yesterday to ceas the movement of any cargoes to locall ties that might be affected by warlike operations. "Our officials have expressed them selves as assured of reasonable protec tion for their vessels, but further than that I have received no advices," said C. U. Kennedy, Portland agent of th American-Hawaiian Steamship Com pany. This line handles cargoes by water from Portland and other Coast citie to Salina Cruz and thence to Puerto Mexico via the Tehuantepec route. Vera Cruz is not far north of Puerto Mexico, and some exporters are inclined to th view that the Mexicans may seek to Interfere with shipping there. . The Tehuantepec route is controlle by British financial interests, though known as the Mexican National Hail road, and it is doubted if Huerta forces will attempt to hamper its op eration, unless an emergency arises for the movement of troops. It is, there fore, regarded safe for America freighters to move on the Atlantic an Pacific sides, so long as the Navy is well represented in patrol vessels.
