! 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.

mated at 450,000 bushels of wheat and
1.7 00. 000 bushels of corn.

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. Total sales, per
vaiue, S4, 445,000. -United states bonds un
changed on call.

Courthouse ' Inquirer Finds
Way to Insanity Hearing.
St.-irtlci". Elevator Operator Directs
Man to Jivil Service Examina
tions for Insane People".
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.
