HIGH PRICES FOB FIRST SELECTIONS Attitude of Wool Buyers In Utah and Colo rado Explained. Kastcrn wool buyers Justify the high prices they have been paying in Utah and Colorado by the necessity of getting good early selections. A. trade report from Boston says: "Regarding the operations of buyers In territory wool recently. It seems as though Eastern operatora had accepted the only present alternative of paying high prices, for two or three reasons. One of these Is the fear of being left later without desirable Hues to turn over to regular customers; another is the fact that they maintain buy ing organizations in the West and like to have them doing sornethlng; also the temp tation Is strong to dip Into the first selec tions offered and thereby perhaps get the best lines of the sesson. "Under the circumstances, some of them are taking hold with a will in an effort to get a useful selection of clips, though they still consider prices exorbitant. The belter the selection, the more chance la had to get a return on he money expended In spite of a high grease cost. In this connection. It is Interesting to state that the recent pur chases in Utah and Colorado have been of such a character that the estimated scoured cost Is favorable In view of the grease price. It Is asserted that the Australian wool avail able, even when well-grown and sound, does not contain the strength required for Amer ican fabrics. So dealers are after the wools to meet- the demand, despite the bullish stand of growers." 8CRPI.CS FOCITRY GOES TO SOUND Iocul Quotations Would Otherwise Be on Lower Plane. Receipts of poultry, especially hens, have been very heavy this week, and but for an outlet on the Sound, prices would be lower than they are. Hens sold on the street yesterday at 13013V4 cents. Broilers were quoted at 25S28 cents- There waa demand for young ducks at 2513 30 cents for white and 18 20) cents for Indian Runners. Old ducks were sluggish. Dressed meat receipts wera ample and prices were steady. The surplus egg receipts, which are now of lighter volume, are going Into storage at steady prices. The lattor market Is also steady, with no Indications of an early change. FORTLA MARKET QUOTATIONS Grain, Flour, Feed. Etc. Merchants' Exchange, forenoon session. Prompt delivery: Wheat Bid. Ask.

LOSSES 8 TO 29 POINTS Substantial Banking Support in Final Trading: Causes Partial Recoveries Iast Half Hour Is Exciting. NEW YORK. May 7. Stocks broko with extreme violence this afternoon on con firmation of the sinking of the British liner Lusltanla, presumably by a German sub marine. Prices fell from 8 to almost 30 points, greatest losses being sustained by the shares which have come to be known as war specialties. Bethlehem Steel, which early in the day assumed new prominence by selling up to 15$, the highest price yet recorded, made a maximum decline of 29 points. Westinghouse Klectric. another stock in the same class, broke 21 points. Amalgamated Copper fell almost 12 points and many others from 6 to 10 points. In the final trading, evidence of substan tial banking support was seen in the partial recoveries which extended to 15 points la Bethlehem Steel, 13 In Westinghouse and 8 to 9 points elsewhere. The stock ticker was almost half an hour behind in recording transactions. - The last 30 minutes was perhaps the most active and exciting period In the history of the axchange, over 600,000 shares chang ing hand In that brief space of time. Scores of speculative accounts were sold out on the decline, which came with such force as to make calls for impaired margins a matter of extreme difficulty. Only the most fragmentary reports of the disaster were available up to the close of the market, but Wall street employes re mained downtown until nightfall taking up the scattered ends of the day's work. The Government crop report on Winter wheat, which should have been a tactor oy reaaon of its reassuring features, was over looked in the Intense excitement of the day. Additional gold engagements from Japan were likewise ifgnored. Total sales of stocks amounted to 1.150. 000 snares. Bonds were heavy, later showing weakness In speculative issues. Total sales par value aggregated $4,600,000. United States bonds were unchanged. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Sales in Closing hundreds. High, Low. bid. Alaska Gold 33?

Declaration Made That 'Sot Use Foot of Surfacing; Waa Dose I'sdrr For mrr Official's Direction. SALEM, Or., May 7. (Special. ) In a letter received here today Judge Clark, of Columbia County, corroborates a statement recently made by State Treas urer Kay that Henry L. Bowlby, for mer state highway engineer, did' not build any paved roads in that county. Major Bowlby denied Mr. Kay's allega tion and declared that 2t miles of road were completed there under his super vision. Judge Clark was elected at a recall election, the former judge and County Commissioners being recalled because they were not In sympathy with the policy of the State Highway Engineer. Several months after his election the new Judge charged Major Bowlby with extravagance, and made other allega tions similar to those that had been made by the old court against the engi neer. Judge Clark says in hlx letter: "By stretching the goods to the ut most limit, and allowing for short stretches of road from a quarter of a mile up to one stretch of three miles. there is a total of 15 miles of finished road, but I doubt, however, if the engi neers in charge of the work will ac cept one-third of that without some finishing work being done on It. "Of the county roads built under Mr. Bowlby'B direction there ia possibly five miles completely graded, one piece of which, 9000 feet long, cost us nearly $24,000, being 8000 above the estimate. I would say by way or making my self clear that if you mean roads with some kind of a surface on them, there has not been one foot of such road built under Major Bowlby's direction."
