Sheep's Back. on GROWERS' VIEWS EXTREME Local Supply of Last Tear's Clip Be in j Steadily Reduced Stock k In Oregon So Far Has I. capd W inter .Losses. ! rumon have been going the roundf In the wool trad of contract ins on th sheep's earfc in the "Western state. TJie reports affectinr this territory hav been run down, and it la found there Is nothinr to them. Futuro business might be possible If buyers and sellers could get together, but growers art holding- extreme views which the buyers win not consider. In view of the strength of the market. It is likely that an, effort will be mado before Jon? to gat the contract price on a basis where business will result. Sheep in Eastern " Oregon are coming through the Winter well. So far, no losses have been reported. Although feed is high, there Is plenty of It Stocks of 1915 wool held In warehouses here axe being gradually worked off. About or TOO.OOO pounds remain unsold, and this could be disposed of In short order If the growers were willing to take the prices offered. Commenting on the market situation at Boston the Commercial Bulletin says: "Wool merchants have lost none of their confidence in the value of their holdings or raw material through the events of the past week. Rather their confidence has been strengthened both by the demand for wool at home and the developments In the mar kets abroad. To be sure the future Is more or less filled with uncertainty regarding the question of transportation and the ultimate cost of wool sfter It is finally landed but. aside from these questions of detail, the general outlook seems to assure higher prices very strongly. "Probably the total sales or the week have sot been quite up to the normal turnover, although the demand has been very steady and healthy and .the prospects for future Inquiries from the manufacturers are very encouraging. Prices appear to be fraction' ally dearer In not a few Instances, more especially for medium and coarse wools, al though fine wools are also tending strongly upwards, particularly for wools with fair staple." FLOIR AND MIIXFEED ADVANCES IVhrat Market Stimulated by High Prices Paid by Country Millers. All domestic and export grades of flour were advanced 20 cents a barrel yesterday. The new quotation on patents is $2.60. The advance follows as a natural outcome of the uprise In wheat values. M til feed prices were raised SO 'cents a ton. The setback to the Chicago wheat mar ket caused buyers to slow down yesterday, but operations in the country were re sumed In the sfternoon at unchanged prices. The Interior markets have been stimulated to a considerable degree by buy ing by millers in those sections. Many of them have sold flour at good prices to go East, and they have been paying J to J cents more for wheat than can be obtained for grain to come this way or be shipped to Eastern markets. At the Merchants Exchange buyers re duced their bids for bluestem H to 1 cent. Forty-fold and club were unchanged. Red waen bios were generally lowered, i to Z cents. There were no new developments In the coarse grain market a Demand from the East for oats continues. Argentine shipments this week are esti mated at 450,000 bushels of wheat and 1.7 00. 000 bushels of corn. Terminal receipts In cars were reported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: Wheat Bariey Flour Oats Hay rortiand, Ttar.

C, about February I. Whether the entire ship ment will be sent East or a part of them offered on this coast will depend on prices her.

STEEL IS UNDER PRESSURE Declaration of Bethlehem's Dividend Is Both Surprise and Disap pointment Motor Shares Are Weak Throujjout. NEW YORK. Jan. 20. Almost the only interesting development In today's market was the declaration of an initial dividend of 30 on Bethlehem Steel common "out of earnings for 3915." The announcement was both a surprise and a disappointment, it having been believed In some quarters that no such action would be taken now, while in others It was believed that the amount of the disbursement was too small considering the reported large earnings of the company. Prior to the publication of the Bethlehem dividend, the market was dull and irregular, which was maintained to the close, with se vere recessions, particularly In war issues. Bethlehem pursued an erratic course on very light dealmrs. It fell 14 points to 471 In the forenoon, but recovered to 47S before the dividend was announced, later yielding to 4G0 and closing at 479, a net loss of 6 points. United States Steel, whose dividend status Is likely to be established next week, be came heavy in the afternoon, declining to 6, an overnight loss 01 1, with no re covery. Automobile shares were weak throughout. General Motors falling 12 points to 4i;i, wiiiys-overland points to 21Uft and Studebaker 3 points to lOOifc. The more distinctive war Issues fell 2 to almost 5 poims and oils 3 to 10 points. Texas Company was again subject to steady liquidation. Less material losses were re corded by a score of unclassified stocks. Total sales of stocks amounted to 620,000 snares, i Bonds were Irreirular.

H1 E looked no different from some of the lawyers who pester Ben Charleston, elevator . operator at the Courthouse, with fool questions every hour of the day. When he entered the cage, ho said nothing and was carried to the top floor. The door was opened but he did not leave. "Where did you wish to go? was the polite inquiry of the operator. "Take me down again," said the man frowning. At the ground floor the visitor walked out of the cage and frowned at the black-and-white Courthouse di rectory. His investigation seemed barren of results. He stood looking at the - elevator shafts and watched several cars descend and ascend with out moving toward them. Then he again entered the cage piloted by Charleston. The operator looked at him inquiringly. "Do you know much about this building?" demanded the stranger. "I'm supposed to," replied the oper ator. "Well, mebbe you can tell me what I want to know." "Yes?" polite inquiry showing in the tones. "I want to know where they hold the civil service examinations for in sane people." The elevator shot to the top floor, began to descend rapidly again, wavered at the second floor and finally came to a dead stop, as the operator gained control of his emotions. He did not speculate as to whether it was a prospective patient or a mere investi gator, whom he finally directed toward Harry Bulger, special agent for Mult nomah County, who handles cases of insanity that later come before the in sanity commission.
