MOHAIR OPENS FIRM
First Pool Sale of Year Is
Made at Good Price.
HIGHEST BID 28 CENTS
Thirty Thousand Pounds of LIncoln
County Hair Bought by Norton.
Valley Growers Have Bull
ish Ideas of Market.
The sale of the Eddyvllle mohair pool
means the opening of the 1914 Oregon
market on a firm basis. As. ai reported
on this page yesterday, the pool brought
28 cents. There were 30,000 pounds of mo
hair in the lot, and the successful bidder
was II. F. Norton & Co.. of this city. The
next highest bid for the pool was 2714
cents.
The growers at the sale first rejected
11 the bids and proposed to postpone the
sale, but later in the day they decided to
accept the Norton bid, and the hair was
delivered to the buyer and will be shipped
to this city ait once.
A number of other pools .are being formed,
but it is noticeable that the goatralsers
avre not disposed to press sales and many
f them will probably dispose of their clips
on the open market. It is reported that
some buying has been done at other points
nt a price even better than was paid at
Eddyvllle.
The Texas mohair market, which has
teen inactive for the past two months, is
gain beginning to show signs of life.
Several small lots have been sold there
at around ST to 28 cen.ts. I .a at year at
this time the bulk of the Texas clip had
been contracted for before shearing began,
but so far this season, only one or two good
stzedT clips have changed hands and some
of theso purchases have been speculative.
Types of the new Texas clip are in the
hands of Eastern dealers.
The Soston market continues Inactive.
The demand is of a hand-to-mouth charac
ter, as usual at the opening of the season,
and prices are more or less nominal. Com
menting on the foreign markets, the Com
mercial Bulletin says;
"Bradford spinners are not buying at all
heavily at the .moment. According to latest
advices they are studiously keeping out of
the market, presumably with an eye to allowing-
the new clips at the Cape and Con
stantinople to reach! the market with as
little excitement as possible.
"Advices from Constantinople report lit
tle or no business on old stock. The new
hair is just beginning to drift Into the up
country markets. Inasmuch as the peasants
are In need of ready money, it is ex
pected that the new clip will be bought
quickly.
"At the Cape the new clip is now coming
forward with some freedom. It is reported
in good condition and seems likely to be
held for more money than was paid a year
ago. One lot of fancy Summer kids is re
ported the have realized 27d. An increase
of about 2000 bales in the Cape clip is pre
dicted, of which about one-third Is ex
pected to be kids. The demand for alpaca
in the Liverpool market Is very healthy."
DEMAND FOR SPOT HOPS IS SLACK
Inquiry for the New Crop Has Also Sub
sided foreign Conditions.
Negotiations are on for a few' small lots
f hops, and it Is probable that before the
month is ended, several cars will be shipped,
but in other respects the market is very
quiet. Most of the dealers are without or
ders. The m demand for contracts has also,
flattened out, although it is probable some
business might be done at less than the for
mer quoted price.
English hop dealers' circulars of latest
date say:
Wild. Neame & Co. There is a fair en
quiry for this period of the year. Values
are unaltered at their recent level.
Thornton & Manger General trade is
dull, but enough business passes to keep
prices steady. Offers a little under current
values have been declined. There Is no
change in foreign advices.
Manger & Henley There Is no change
to report in our market during the past
week, the business doing being restricted to
actual requirements only. Values remain
unchanged.
W. H. and H. Le May The market is
quiet, and when business is done, prices are
In favor of buyers.
Worcester Business on the Worcester
market keeps quiet, the supply on offer be
ing very limited. In the course of cutting
down growers find aT great many weakly
plants, and this with the moderate stocks on
hand, induces them to ask for full rates,
while buyers will only do business when
come concession is made.
TWO UKGE WOOL .SALES AT ECHO
Boss Buys Over 300,000, rounds t Good

ECHO. Or.. April 23. (Special.) One of

Vey also sold his entire clip, amounting to
SS.000 pounds, to Mr. Ross for the same firm.
This clip is also considered one of the best
Crown in Umatilla County.
The price paid is said to be full two cents
bore last year's price.
WHEAT IS SOT OFFERED FOR PALE
Deadlock Exists in Market Trade in Other
Llues Quiet.
Offerings of wheat at prevailing prices
have practically closed and buyers are un
willing yet to raise their bids. This has
brought trading nearly to a standstill.
Holders In the country maintain an inde
pendent attitude, and as there is some gen
eral demand, the undertone of the market
continues firm.
Operations in other departments of the
grain market were on a small scale.
Local receipts, in cars, were reported by
the Merchants" Exchange as follows:

VALLEY WOOL NOW COMING FORWARD
Buyers Paying; l"p to 20 Cents for Medium
Grade.
Not much wool has been shorn in the
Willamette Valley yet. and only a few small
lots are coming forward. Buyers are paying
up to 20 cents for medium grade and 18
cents for coarse.
The good sized lots of Hawaiian wool that
usually find their way to the New York
market will not be handled there this sea
son. Two clips, one of 100.000 pounds and
another of 150,000 pounds, were sold .in San
Francisco at prices that were 2o and 3c a
round above the figures paid for similar
descriptions last ' year.
BUTTER PRICES WELL MAINTAINED
Local Market Not Yet Affected by Decline
at Seattle.
The butter market Is holding Its own.
The trade has been sufficient so far to han
dle the make and local print prices will
probably be maintained ror the present. The
feeattle market has declined to the Portland
level and this may affect the surplus that
the local creameries may produce.
Egg prices are steady and unchanged.
Buying for storage is lighter, but Front
street dealers are stil enabled to get 18 "4
and 19 cents case count. Candled eggs are
bringing 20 cents.
The poultry market was not so firm as
earlier- in the week. Hvns sold at 1S&1S&
cents. Broilers were quoted at SO cents, but
were not all sold
There was a food tfemand for dressed
meats, which were unchanged in price.
FIRMER MARKET FOR STRAWBERRIES
Only Half a Car Is Kecrived and This
Cleans Up Quickly.
Half a car of Los Angeles strawberries
arrived yesterday and cleaned up with the
market firm at SI 1.25 a crate. A smaller
shipment is due today.
Five cars of bananas were delivered In fine
condition. The orange market was very
firm, especialy on small sizes. A few cars
of oranges were brought on the steamer.
The steamer also had a limited assortment
of California vegetables. There were no
rail receipts of vegetables. Local receipts
of asparagus were lighter.

STOCK TRADE SMALL
Wall-Street Market Is Given
Consistent Support.'
SHORTS VERY CAUTIOUS
European Exchanges More Disturbed
Over Mexican' Crisis Than New
York-London Holders Are lyree
Sellers Bonds Irregular. .
NEW YORK. April 23. Speculative opera
tions were on a small scale today. The
market received the same consistent sup
port which has been accorded on recent
days, and the shorts did not venture upon
extensive operations. Neither speculators
nor investors were eager to buy stocks. In
view of the Mexican situation.
European markets apparently were more
disturbed over the Mexican crisis than was
the New York Exchange. It was estimated
that 30.000 shares were unloaded here for
foreign account. Canadian Pacific, Erie and
Kansas & Texas preferred were sold most
heavily by London. This selling, together
with a decline in American stocks in Lon
don, caused a general scaling down of Quo
tations in the early market, but later losses
were reco-ered.
The late decline was Influenced by a
sharp break iu Smelting, which was raided
on the announcement that the company had
suspended operations in its Mexican plants.
The stock broke over 5 points. Mexican
Petroleum and Southern Pacific also were
affected by fears of losses on their prop
erty tn Mexico. Canadian Pacific resumed
its prolonged decline. It fell 3 points to
the lowest figure In four years.
Time money and mercantile paper were
firmer. Foreign exchange rates rose to the
year's high point, and there was talk of
gold exports to Paris. Such ehlpments. It
was said, were contingent only upon the
willingness of French bankers to pay a
premium such as was paid during the pre
vious movement of gold to Paris.
Bonds were irregular with a continuance
of the recent active selling of New Y'ork
state and city Issues. Total sales, par value,
$2,350,000. United States 2s registered de
clined , the 2s coupon and 3s coupon
and Panama 2s coupon and registered H on
call. Panama 3s registered advanced 4.
United States 2s registered sold at 7 and
Panama 3a registered at 1024. compared
with previous transactions at 98 and 101
respectively.

Rains West of Missouri River
Depress Wheat Market.
LAST PRICES UNSETTLED
Millers in Northwest Are Active
Buyers, but This Helps Values
Only Temporarily Corn Af
fected by Argentine Weatner.
CHICAGO, April S3. Rains that put a
stop to danger of drouth lu the greater part
of the country west of the Missouri River
had a bearish effect today on the wheat
market here. Prices closed unsettled 4 t
o under last night. Corn finished I-I6 off
to g up. oats down hi to c and pro
visions at 2 to 15 cents decline.
Although a strong rally took: place in
wheat about the middle of the session on
account of millers in the North-western dis
trict being; active buyers, the market later
suffered another setback.
Clearing weather in Argentina tended to
easo corn at the outset, but the market
later developed strength, the May option in
particular. A feature of the trading was
th. active buying of May and the selling
of July on the part of the several elevator
companies. Receipts her. were small and
there was a big falling off in Argentine
shipments for tho week. -
Unlike corn, oats failed to display power
to recover. Rainy weather, with more pre
dicted, acted as a weight on the market.
Higher prices for hogs brought only tem
porary firmness In provisions. On all the
hard spots In the market packers aetxed the
chance to dispose of holdings.
