There has been an opportun ity to do business In Cape firsts, but at prices which holders did not care to con sider. This hair Is held in the neighborhood ot 35 cents and offers are being made at around S3 cents. It is doubtful If much hair could be bought under S3 cents. Advices from the West Riding of York shire indicate a very firm market and prices are steady at 31 cents or slightly better for good Cape firsts. Advices irons the Cape state 'that prices are very firm there and the clip 1 fairly well cleaned up. The movement of alpaca in Liverpool con tinues fairly steady and prices are well main tained. Stocks In Liverpool were slightly In excess of 2000 tales on January 19, last. Boston quotations: Best combing, 379 40 cents; good combing, 353? cents; ordi nary combing. 31&33 cents; best carding, 3337 cents; good carding. 3032 cents; ordinary carding, 26 9 28 cents. Foreign: Cape firsts, 34033 cents; Turkey, fair aver age, 33&37 cents. WOOL CONTRACTING AT IT'LL PRICES Big Nevada Clip Reported Taken Recently at 22 Cents. Eastern wool dealers are wide in their estimates as to the amount of new clip that has been contracted to date In the West. In this connection, the Boston Com mercial Bulletin eays: "Most dealers estimate the quantity at around 5.000.000 pounds, -while others, also well posted, believe the quantity contracted to be in excess of 8,000,000 pounds. The purchases have been made on a basis of at l-ast 70 cents, clean landed here, and some think the basis has been even more In some rases.' Certainly If reports are correct that the Taylor clip In Nevada amounting to some 400,000 pounds has been bought at 22 cents, on an estimated shrinkage approximating o per cent and a. freight rate of about 2 cents, the clean landed cost Is very mater ially in excess of 70 cents; Indeed, It would be nearer SO cents, although this basis Is undeniably excessive. "The greater part of the contracts have been placed in Utah and the Southern Idaho sections, althongh scattering clips have been bought at various points through the territory sections, wl. - CALIFORNIA HOPS 1 CENT HIGHER 8trone Demand in Oregon, bat Ars Not Offering-.

While the mar- ket was steady for the day. a weaker tendency Is looked for from now on. as the supply Increases. Cheap offerings from California also tend to create an easier un dertone.

The market for coffee futures showed renewed strength and activity today, with prices making further high records. Firmness in the Brazilian markets and the continued light primary receipts seemed to Increase the confidence of buyers, and there was buying for trade account as well as covering, and some fresh support through commission-houses. The market opened at an advance of 4 to 6 points and sold 14 to 17 points net higher during the dsy, with March contracts reach ing the S-cent level or 1S9 points above the low level of last September, white Decem ber sold at 8.34c, or o points &bove the lovr level of last week. There wae.a good deal of realizing on the advance, but the de mand continued active and the close was 14 to 37 points net higher, oi at the best point of the day.

Increased pressure was brought to bear on the stock market to day with further depreciation of values. Selling was more obviously of a professional character, with hena and there a sprinkling of liquidation. Declines were orderly, how ever, except In a few isolated instances, which prices yielded precipitately. Tho market's failure to respond to good news, which wai not altogether lacking, seemed to result more from its technical weakness or over-extended position on th bull side than fix m apprehension concern ing Impending events. Canadian Pacific and shares of other com panies operating in the dominion were con spicuously weak in consequence of the heavy war tax wnich It is proposed to levy on cor porations In that country. Canadian made an extreme decline of 6 at 16i, Granby (jonsouaateo, fell 4 to and Interna tional Nickel lost 6 at 46. Mexican issues, especially Mexican an California Petroleum. Texas Company an American bm-slting were heavy to weak o reports affecting the stability of tho exlsi ing government in the Southern republic. Rails in general registered only mod erate losses, but United States Steel noted unceasing pressure, while the active war issues, with the noteworthy exception of Crucible Steel, were 1 to 3 points down, but still well above minimuma of last month.

Provision Made for Expenditure of Funds Which Remain In Treas ury Until Earned SALEM, Or., Feb. 16. (Special.) Where city charters do not specifically exempt cities from the jurisdiction of the County Courts in road matters, the money raised in such municipalities for road improvements Is to be ex pended by the County Courts and not by the municipal auinoruies, accota ng- to an opinion of Attorney-General Brown today. After citing the road law, the Attor ney-General in his opinion says: 'The language -does not provide for payment by the county to the road dis trict, or to the city in case the road dis trict is composed of an incorporated city or town, but it provides for the expenditure of such road funds in such district by the county itself in the man ner provided by the road law, the money remaining in the county treas ury until the same has been earned, as provided by statute. In case the County Court appoints a street commissioner or other road supervisor of the municipality as road upervisor for the county or to super vise the expenditure of that portion of the county road fund apportioned to the district, consisting of an incorpo rated city or town, the procedure is in no wise changed. The money is not to be paid over to the city and does not become the property of the city in any respect, but remains in the county reasury and is to be paid out in the same manner as the road funds in any other district."

SEABOARD BUYING HEAVY Chicago Jfarkct Advances 3 Cents on Strong: Foreign Demand. Stocks of Grain at Liver pool Are Insufficient. CHICAGO, Feb. 16. Wheat prices bulged to a considerable extent today, influenced largely by talk ot urgent need for supplies in Great Britain. The market, although somewhat unsettled at the close, finished lV15ic to 2c net higher, with May at 81.30'i and July at 81.23. Other leading staples, too, all scored gains corn lHtflc, oats 34c to .4ttj$ic, and provisions 17 He to 35c. Assertions that the British government was buying wheat at the seaboard did a good deal to force the trade to notice ru mors of authority having been granted to British officials to take drastic measures to insure more adequate supplies. According to dispatches from Liverpool, the stock of wheat there was insufficient. The effect of such bupstsh advices was little offset by New York Tcports just before the close that blj clearances were expected, as 34 steamers for Europe were to take grain out within the next four days. .Many unfavorable crop reports that were received from the Southwest and the Central West formed a handicap on the bears in wheat. Corn advanced mainly as a result of re ceipts being smaller than expected. Oats derived their firmness principally from the strength of other grain. Higher prices on hogs and cereals carried provisions upgraue. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Onen. High. Low. Close May 81.2S!i 8130 81.2814 81. 3014 July x. l.-JJt 1.-1 i. COR.V.
