American Trade Keenly Interested In
English: Auctions.
There is much Interest In the wool trade
;n the progress of the London sales, which
' pened strong this week with a keen Amer
':an inquiry. Trade In the East lagged, as
i. consequence. No large bulk of fine wool
A-ill be availablo In' this country for some
line other than what may bo secured from
'hat English market. Continued transfers
rum dealer to dealer evince the fact that
;he situation Is appreciated. Good lots are
:aken whenever a chaaoe to make a profit
able turn appears. South American cross-
reds. , together with. Australian merinos,
ave been especially active, both from Ira
ortcrs and second hands.
The London offerings total 1SS.000 bales.
ff which 130,000 bales arc New Zealund
rossbreds. It will thus appear that the
fferings of merinos are very small, Hence
general predictions are that fine cross-
-reds and merinos which are In relatively
eenest demand will show a general advance
f perhaps 5 per cent, while other grades

Market Is Steady.
NEW YORK. April 2. The arlv.n-t In

Idly through the session, loelntr onlrklv a
slight early advantage and toward the close
the tone became heavy. Kxtenslve cover

less vulnerable and stocks were sunnlled
more freely. Distinctive weakness devel
oped in a few spots, but the average loss
was small.
The late decline in the market was In
fluenced by the weakness of a few stocks,
such as Canadian Pacific and the Gould is
sues. Rock Island common and preferred
sold at low levels. The collateral bonds
also mado a new low mark, slumping more
than two points to 8H4 on reports that the
next interest payment would not be met.

Mr. Sleg says the tonnage that will
he received by the distributers from
the districts In the Willamette and in
Southern Oregon, warrants a clearing
office for their sales. "Portland is
the logical point for such an office."
ha says, "and we can also handle to
better advantage the sales of the Hood
River fruit from that point."
In the event that the Portland of
fice is established by the distributer
directors, which seems assured, it will
be opened in the late Summer, in time
to make preparations for the ship
ments of apples and other Kail fruits.
The strawberry crop will be handled
from the local office. Mr. Davidson
will be located in Spokane and Mr.
Sleg will liandle the marketing of the
fruit from Hood Rtver.
One of the chief1 tasks of the local
association at the present time Is the
fight to secure an amendment to the
recent tariffs of express companies is
sued by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. The tariff placed the weight
of the 24 full pint box crates of straw
berries at 25 pounds. The minimum
weight per car was placed at 15,000,
allowing a maximum of 620 crates per
car. The association haa secured the
promise of the express companies to
ask for an amendment permitting the
maximum number of crates to be 700.

COUNCIL REFUSES PARDON
Mayor Cpbeld in Request to Reject
Petition for J. Parker's Release.
By unanimous vote the City Coun
cil yesterday upheld Mayor Albee in
his recommendation to reject a request
of J. H. Christensen and others for
the release of J. Parker, who is serving
a 90 days' sentence at Linnton subjail
on a charge of vagrancy.
Parker was convicted about two
years ago and carried the case on
appeal to the Supreme Court. Losing
all along the line, he started to serve
his time in March. The petitioners
declare he is not a vagrant, being the
owner of a hotel in the North End.
Mayor Albee said he would resist in
every way the release of Parker and
his stand was upheld by the Council.
Although the United States has more
cattle than any other country, except India.
