Coun ties Largely suspended Vntil After Condition of Clips Is Known Prices Are Firm. '.oat shcirng has started in th "Willam ette Valley, and if th -weather continues mild it wll bo general in a. few days. As yet there Is no interest In the market There is no demand from the East and the only advices coming- along are of nom inal prices ruling there, which would put this market on a basis of about 30 or CI cents. It is not unusual for the Oregon mar ket to remain lifeless -until after shear ing has been completed and then to de velop sudden activity. Consequently, the trade has every reason to believe that the customary competition -will develop as soon as sufficient mohair is available, No mo hair pools have been announced yet, but it is likely, as in past years, that sales will be held at Lebanon, Scio, Cottage Grove Brownsville, iTillsboro and other points in the goaff-ralsing sections. The wool market in the Northwest con tinues quiet. Shearing is general in the Yakima Valley and a. good market there Is looked for during the next few weeks. The trade does not expect any business in Kastcrn Oregon, asido from one occasional contract, until after the wool is shorn. Prices now asked by growers are above buyers Ideas, and furthermore -wool buyers want to see how the clips turn out be fore investing. The valley wool market is also backward. It is estimated that from 20,000.000 to 25.0U0.0OO pounds of wool have been con tracted for in the West to date, including larsj quantities In Utah and the Coda Springs sections and in Nevada and scat tering lots in other sections. Texas ad vices are that a Brady dealer has signed tip I .OuO.000 pounds of Spring wool In Ccncho County at 20 cents, the highest price paid there for several years and 6 cents above last Spring's rate. Comment ing on lh Western situation, the Boston Commercial Bulletin says: 'Everywhere through the "West growers are holding for very high prices and are quoting prices, which, on the present basis of the market, are nothing short of ridiculous. Whether they get their aslting prices remains to be seen. This much is certain, that not a few dealers who usually tako considerable wool early are taking less than usual and appear far from anxious to plunge at the extreme prices now pre vailing." Reports as to the condition of the new clip indicate a probable take-off as large as last year. Possibly it will be a hit larger, as growers have been less willing to send their sheep to the shambles than they were. In some sections of the coun try the number of sheep has increased con siderably as compared with a year or two ago, while In others there has been a de crease. On the whole, the clip may be es timated as at least as large as last year. Private reports indicate a rather heavy percentage of clothing wool likely to be produced in a few sections where the Winter has teen extreme and fed difficult to get to the sheep. The clip, generally speaking, will be light in shrinkage, however. Word comes from Buenos Ayres that, the German -wool merchants, who bought heavily of last year.'s Argentine clip to hold until the war is over, are now loading the wool on their interned ships in order to save storage expenses. The value of the German-owned wool at Buenos Ayres Is estimated at 123, 00O.00O. LONDON, March 10. There -was a steady demand for the fair selection of S170 bales offered at the wool auction sales today. Prussian buyers paid Ss Id for new South Wales scoured. The sales will be con cluded tomorrow. .30 MUX DEMAND FOR WHEAT SCBSIDES Local Market J Again Easier Country Trade Dull. The demand on the part of millers for spot wheat, which existed a few days ago, be cause of difficulty in getting grain in from the country, has been satisfied and prices in the local market are again easier. A few small lots were offered by farmers .yes terday, but on the wrhole the country mar ket was dull. At the Merchants Exchange bids were generally a cent lower. Argentine wheat shipments this week are estimated at 2.S00.0O0 bushels. Terminal receipts In cars were reported by the Merchants Kxchange as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay rortl'nd.

A good demand for hop contracts is re ported at all points along the Coast at 11 to 1J cents for one, thiv:e and five years. A good volume of future business has been done in California recently at these prices. There is also a steady absorption of spot hops at current prices, although sellors are offering sparingly in Oregon at th present time. Two Yakima, lots were sold this week at II to 3 1H cents, those of Broulette, 144 bales, and I'dttar. 60 bales. A number of small California lots were sold, Sacramentos bringing lO to 11 cents and Sonomas 11& to 1 cents. .0Q 1.28 21.'.'5 25.50 33.50 Red Russian Oats No. 1 white, feed .

Maninulatlon was a more obvious feature of today's irregular market, various specialties belnir lashed into furious activity at times, while standard stocks were barely steady or backward. United States 'Steel led the erratic move ments, advancing a point to &7lA. its best quotation for the present period, but reced ing later in common with other prominent Issues. Crucible Kteel was second in TTnitod Kt:it Steel in point of activity, hut extremely feverish, losing- 6 points to fOIi, and falling back 3 points, closing at 06. Other con spicuous features included American Can, "Westinghouse, Kennecott and Inspiration Copper, Mexican Petroleum, Baldwin Loco motive, American Smelting- and Reading, all snowing gains at various times, but forfelt iner much or all of their, advantage in the uncertain and confused dealings in the final hour. Ralls In ccneral were a necllelble factor. Hsiao irom canndlan Pacific, which fell 3 points to lGj. soon after announcement of tne loan by our bankers to the Dominion of Canada, but retrieving some of this later. Reading and "Western Maryland were active and strong at the outset, in connection with yesterday's rumors of Rockefeller buying of the first-named shares, but failed to hold. .Motors, sugars and Mexicans were in the forefront at intervals, all at substantial ad vances, but these for the most part felt the iorce or moderate pressure. Three new rec ords were scored. American Zinc rising 3 points to El. South Porto Rico Sugar 3 points to 1SS, and Inspiration 1 point to 4!) . Bethlehem Steel, after making a loss at the opening ended with a net advance of 11 Va points at 520. Total ba.-.s of stocks amounted to fKl.vooo shares. Central news of thd Jv included further advnnes in fabricated Fteel and iro.n. com pletion of negotia'ions for a large loan to C-inada. part of wh'c.i is to be used to re- tund maturing obligations, and increased weakness in exchange on Paris, which was quoted at 5.97 for demand, with some recov ery on renewed purchases of bills. Marks showed a better tendency and sternic wys firm. Americans, as a whole, evidenced more uniform strength in the London market. Fionas were Irregular, speculative issues showing some heaviness. Total sales, par value, were $3,723,000. imtea btates bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing factory being- built in this city by the Dyer Company, of Cleveland, O., is now in full swingr and last week the ex cavations were complete and the forms ready for the cement foundations. More than. 50 men are now at work, and it is planned to increaso tho force to 75 w-ithin a week. When the steel work of the superstructure is fully un der way the Dyer people expect to em ploy at least 200 men, preference being- given to home laborers where prac tical. Tho structure will be four sto ries high, the frame being- entirely of steel.. " , . The pew site of the factory is on the banks of Rogue River,, where the cost of water can be reduced to a minimum. Already more than a score of Japanese have located 4n th. valley and have taken leases on over 1000 acres of tho best bottom lands near Grants Pass.

Although wheat prices at first underwent a setback In sympathy with lower quotations from Liverpool, the market hero rallied sharply when disquieting liew circumstances affecting' the domestic orop outlook began to attract attention.
