- ' . THE MORMXG OREGOMAy, AVEDNESPAY, FEBRUARY 1C, 1916. X ess a sal . , , I 1 1 - : : : i n 1 M , . 1 a ' 1 1 MUTTON WOOL HELD Very Little Early Shearing in Coast Yards. WEATHER NOT FAVORABLE Contracting in Northwest Prevented )j High Prices Asked by Grow ers Outlook for Mar ket Is Strong. there has been very little early shearing !n the Northwest this year. Vsually a, con eiderable quantity of mutton woof ha been enorn by this date, but owing to the stormy Tvrather the present season the sheep are al lowed to o to the slaughter-houses with toe wool on them. Some shearing ha been done t the Seattle stockyards, where tho wool Is held for the later market, but nothing has been done at the local yards or In the Vaklma country. - Contracsmg has not yet started In the Northwest. Buyers are in the field in some of the districts, but have not been able to a -Tee to terms with growers. The market is strong and the prospects are good,' but buyers consider the prices demanded as en 1 1 rely too hiah. In spite of the very severe weather in the Iast six week.no heavy losses to stock havo been reported. It has been an ex pensive feeding season for the sheepmen, but it is believed the Winter losses win prove but little more than the average. In Southern Vtah. wllere most of the con tracting has been done, buyers have paid to 22 cents for fine and 24 to 25 cents for clips running toward . medium grade, t-coured landed values on the first pur chase are tstimaud at 70 cents. Accord ing to Kastern reports, a strong buying movement is likely to be started any aay now. A mail report from Boston says: "Opening prices in the West are substan tially the same as those noted a year ago. The scoured basis of values, however, Ifc entirely" different for- the reason that the first prices for this year are based upon fine clothing wools. In contrast with medium woolswhich were sold first in 1915. This difference makes it appear that a substantia', advance really is shown for this season over last, for wool contracted on the sheep's back. "Conditions in the local market show -a decided contrast with those a year ago at the start of the contracting season In the West. The- buying has started on. different lines from those of last season, because of the situation in medium wools. This year dealers and manufacturers have been able to secure a large volume of crossb.reds from Xiw Zealand, whereas the embargo debarred them from operating in the Dominion in inlS. The amount secured this season is off set somewhat by the smaller total of pur chases In South American markets, but no uch shortage as was threatened a year ago now exists. Thus buyers have not the same incentive to reek medium woois in the primary mar kets of this country now that they had a year ago when they showed eagernest to secure a large a volume of this class of staple a possible. "Another contrast of .interest may be drawn at this time. That is between the conditions current and those at the time of the last speculative movement. In J900. Wool is approaching the highest level since the Civil War, where it has not already reached such a point, both at home and abroad. Everything seems favorable for -widespread speculation,- with consumption Increased and production decreased here, as well as In Australia and South America. The contrast with 11)00 Is In the faet that at the earlier time plenty of wool was available In the world and this accounted for an early collapse In the speculative movement then begun. Some other ele ment must arise, if a similar ending 1 to the present movement is to eventuate.' A IX WHEAT MAKKETS - ARE FIRM Growers in Country Are Holding- Tightly, ales on Local Board. The wheat mrrket was firmer yesterday, but there' was little doing in the country, as farmers were no? sellers. At the Mer chants' Exchange 8000 bushels of February fortyfold were sold at V7 cents, the -same price as bid on Monday, and 5000 bushels of February club at t'T cents, an advance of 3 cents over Monday's price. Other bids were raised from 1 to cents. Barley was -firm, with bids for brewing grade posttd on the board for the tlrst time this season. The oats market was quiet here and in the valley, but firm east of the mountains, where there was demand for shipment East. There has also been lancer use for oats as feed in the interior, owing to the high price of barley. At some poihts barley has brought gi.OO to t'-i a ton more than oata. Bradstreefs estimates tho world's visible wheat increase at So'J.OOO bushels, the corn inerease at l.DT-t.OuO bushels and the oats increase at 232.000 bushels. Crop conditions abroad are summarized by Broomhall as follows: United Kingdom Weather is unfavorable, with storms, and sowing forthe new wheat crop has teen ctopped. It- is feared that the acreage will be reduced.. Native wheat Is being freely offered. France Weather unseasonably mild and many complaints are heard of weedy fields. Prospects are considered only fair on a reduced acreage. Native offers are light and interior reserves moderate. Germany Weather cold, but there is proper snow cover and there are no com plaints hcurd. Potatoes are plentiful and food pricJs stationary. Kussla Weather cold, with parts snow. Many complaints are coming to hand from southern sections, where snow is , lacking. Movement of wheat, and; in fact all grain, is negligible. Officials are holding large reserves and exportation is nil." India General outlook fair, with recent rain, but moro 'moisture is wanted. Re serves are light and holders reserved Argentina Weather generally favorable for late threshing. Export offers are in creasing. Freights remain high and serious, ly affecting exports. Australia Weather favors movement Offers aie verj,rr.oderate and steadily held. Recent rain afforded favorable conditions for plowing. Ba'kan Kta'.ts Weather cold, with plenty of snow. Crop accounts are favorable. This cundition has led to free marketing. Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat. Bur. Fir. Oats. Hay. Portland.

Bis End of Winter Crop Movement Hns Reached City Other Lines Quiet. The livestock market held steady yester day with moderate receipts in all lines. Several loads of hogs were sold at $8.05, at which the bulk of sales were made on the preceding day. Good hay-fed steers brought $7.30.' and medium steers sold at $6J0 to $6.83. A few .lambs were disposed of at $8.50 to $9. '' Commenting on the swino market situa tion, the Livestock Reporter says: ".Hogs are' not coming at all freely and It is becoming apparent that the big end of the Winter crop has reached the market, although Information still continues to come along occasionally thav there are still a good many hogs. In farmer hands Those are chiefly the farmers who refused to be frightened at the 'scare' stories put out in some quarters. The weather, too, has been against free movement to .hipping statlqns and this has been, a factor in less hogs here this month. ,- The general hog market over the o'!ntfy is on an advance, as Is the case in North Portland. No information is given in m ket paers in the East that would indicate that prices there are any better for h'PPe in this territory to even think of shipping East. Prices here are on practically a par ity and In some cases much better than the nearest Eastern' markets." Receipts were 264 cattle, 1 calf, 893 hogs and 13 sheep.

WOULD CHANGE CALIFORNIA EGO LAW Too Many Loopholes in -Present Regular Hons. -About 100 retail 'grocers, in Southern Cali fornia have been tried recently for selling eggs which failed to comply with the law a, to their purity. In most cases it has been found that the retailers are not to blame, "and an effort is being; made to have the law changed so that the blame may be fixed where it belongs. Most of the prose cutions have been based on the food law rather than on tho cold storage law. Most of the eggs tested were found to be unfit for consumption, rather than merely storage eggs being sold for fresh ones. The retailers claim tney are unaoie to tell whether" the stock they are buying is fresh or not, acd have, to depend upon the wholesaler. On the other 'and1 the whole salers claim they-are u'har.e to tell .whether or not the eggs being solt are the particular ones bought from them., or whether 'they have been placed in their crates from soma other lot. An effort will be made lo have the law changed so that there will be no loophoU and the responsibility will bo placed where It belongs. Oregon Land Official Nominated. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
