MARKET -ON FIRM BASIS AVool Buyers Giving Attention to Takima Situation Xo Contract- ' v Ins Jn Eastern or Central Ore-con-'-Western Trading Dull. f,nt shearing In the valley, which started lUEt ueelv, has been suspended this week htcause of the rairt etorms. A lew small lots of mohair have been shipped in on con signment, but the market has not yet been established. Nominal priees Tor the new ' clip are r.Ofiol cents. The undertone of the market is firm, as might be expected with wool at m high level. Private wires received from the East In dicated no chanire in mohair prices, commenting- on market conditions at Hoston, the Commercial Bulletin said: "There has been a more general Inquiry for mohair in the local market this week Prices are very firm for the stocks held here, which arj only moderate. The bulk of the business has been in Cape hair, for the best of which cents has been obtained quite readily, while less nightly stock is selling at about "r, cents and Inferior lots at slight ly less still. "There has been some business in domestic hair as well, but at prices which show no change from current quotations. "The market In Yorkshire Is still fairly keen and prices there are well maintained on the level of the past two or three weeks. For Cape Summer firsts, 13';d Is reported paid at the Cape. "Alpaca Is movins steadily at Liverpool at very firm prices." P.oston mohair quotations: Best comblnjr, 37ir40 cents; pood combine. K5'037 rents: ordinary comblns, Sl33 cents; rood eara inc 303S2 cents; ordinary combinj, 2028 cents. Cape firsts, 8433 cents; Turkey, fair average, 855 37 cents. The rains have also stopped wool shear ing in the Yakima Valley, but aa soon as the weather permits, shearing will he on again in full blast. Buyers are giving attention to the Takima situation, and a very active market -is counted upon as soon as shorn wo.nl is available there. There Is nothing doing at present In East ern or Central Oregon, as buyers and sell ers cannot agree on prices, and with such a wide spread between their Ideas of values it looks as if the market will not open un til after shearing next month. Throughout the West generally, the wool market is In a waiting attitude. The ef fect of the recent developments at London hu largely worn off, but contracting has not resumed its former volume. Values are figured on a basis close to 10 cents a pound over the market of a year ago. but growers are holding out for a still larger premium. There has been some buying In Arizona, where shearing is progressing, at pries ranging from 27 to 29 cents. Texas reports of 12 months wool selling at 30 cents on the sheep's back are denied In the Eastern trade. SMALL WHEAT PrRTHASKS BT MTI.I.S Ko Offering of Grain by Farmers Exchange Bids Lower. There was a small movement in the wheat market yesterday for mlllr.g account, retail ers being the sellers, but the mill buying at this time la of a hand-to-mouth character. There were no offerings by farmers. Bid prices at the Merchants' Exchange Were again ivduced from 1 to 8 cents, except in the case of spot and May bluestcm, offers fur which were unchanged. Broomhall says in his international wheat review: "Largo American reserves and re ceipts are the prominent features of the moment, but we are disinclined to expect a continued dealine in American and Canadian markets until such time is Australia, Ar gentina andl India become free sellers and shippers. But it must be remembered that last season Australia was an importer. There are no fresh developments regarding the Dardanelles, but the possibility of a re opening must be remembered, as the effect of the rc-opening would be great. Latest statistics Indicate that the distribution of foreign wheat in Europe aggregates ft.7OO.0lM) bushels weekly, and It is expected that the demand will contiuue good uutil May, owing; to the fact that purchases are being made to fill depleted reserves, but the general aspect In many trades suggests that specu lative activity has passed the climax." The grain fields of the United States cover 22.2i,000 acres, an area greater than the whole of Germany and the United King dom combined. The corn and wheat fields alone cover 16S.219.000 acres, or 13.440.000 acres more than tile area of Austria-Hungary, which la the largest country in Eu rope , outside of Russia. Seventy-five per cent of all the com, HT per cent of the oats and 2d per cent of the wheat of the world are raised in the United (States. Terminal receipts, In cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat. Barley, flour. Oats. Hay. Portland. Wed. 1 6 2 6 lear ago 1 .

The egg market is firm. Weather con ditions are retarding production, which Is much below last year's. Storage operators are taking all the surplus at 18i3ll cents. Similar conditions prevail In the butter market. The Oregon supply has been out down, yet there Is an undercurrent of weak ness in the market because of the easy California situation. Last week 150 cubes 't California butter were received and the same quantity will be brought up this week. So far there ha3 been a place for the out side butter. The season Is backward and the Oregon make is likely to be below re quirements no to the middle of next month. The poultry and dressed meat markets were quiet yesterday. Poultry was In small supply, but the demand was not strong. Meat receipts were fair. ORANGES QCARTEn HIGHER TOOAV California Vegetable Prices Are Again Inclining-. Orange prices' -Bill be a quarter higher on the street today, owing to the Increased coat at California shipping points. The steamer in last night brought 1 cars. There was also a liberal assortment of vegetables on the steamer. Asparagus, which has been temporarily scarce and higher, will be slightly lower today at 8. 10 and 11 cents. Rhubarb has declined a quarter to Jl.MSl.'S a box. A mixed car or California cabbage and head lettuce ar rived by rail. Both were offered at $2.25. eUU BCTIXG OF GRAIN BAGS lyalcrs Quote 14 Cent la Lots, Delivery Guaranteed. Vo business of conseqenee Is passing In the a-rain bag market. Dealers Cruote 14 cents for guaranteed delivery and 13',i cents without the guarantee. The belief la ex pressed by soma of the dealers that all the bags purchased in Calcutta, to date will arrive here In time. The purchases, however, are 20.000.0OO- bags under last yearft Imports. The coast crop promises to be smaller than that of 1915, and with the enlarged use of seconds and more ship ments of wheat In bulk, a serious short age in grain bags may be averted. Word has been received from Calcutta that tho British government has extended it bag contract to include April, .May and June and that the Calcutta factories would have to produce 4j,000,JX10 bags a month. English Jlop Acreage Is Decreased. A limited amount of trading between dealt-rs was reported in tho hop market yesterday at Unchanged prices. The demand for contracts was Hunt. Mail advices from England indicate a probable reduction in the acreago from last year's 34.1100 acres to about 33,otNj acres. nnk Clearing.

SHORT COVERING ACTIVE Additional Iargc Orders for Kqtiip nient Are riaced by Itailronds. ICij-Ing Trice Schedules An nounced in Steel Trade. .) XSW YORK. March 22. In keeping with Its recent irregular and illogical cource to day's market recorded some substantial re coveries from lowest levels of the early we-'k, mklnly In consequence of official de nials of overnight peace rumore. Trading, which was somewhat restricted by tho storin, revolved almost wholly around the varying aspect of tho foreisn situation. Developments of broader financial in terest, such as the persistent weakness oT exchange on Germany and Austria and an other break in the Paris rate, excited little attention, except in banking circles. Prog ress toward the completion of the Canadian loan, which has been definitely fixed at $75,000,000, was reported by the under writers. Domestic news touching upon the mar ket included the announcement of the plac ing of additional large orders for equipment by railroads, and weekly reviews by steel trade review authorities which offered further evidence of the unceasing activity in that industry at rising price schedules. Stocks opened unevenly. hardened and fell again before midday, that brief period covering th-e majority of the day's opera tions. In the afternoon, the market strengthened in all divisions with consid erable short covering, and retained much of its advance at the -end. United State Ft?el. Crucible Steel, Mer cantile Marine preferred, metals and equip ments, in fine, the nsual leaders, contrib uted measurably to the relatively small to tal of 510,000 chares. Oils were under dis tinct pre.-sure at intervale. In connection with reports of fresli disturbances in Mex ico, but made full recovery later. The course of Anglo-French war bonds was watched with special interest, that having come to be regarded ae the center of condition affecting the allios. Trading In the bonds was very large, early quota tions showing decided strength, but the price reacted a small fraction before the end of the cession. Local monetary conditions e-how no change from the late prevailing ease, but rates west and southwest stiffened on increased mercantile demand. Bonds were steady with no special feature except the war Issues. Totat sales, par value, aggregated $3,525,000. United State coupon 3s advanced '8 per oont on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATION'S.

CHICAGO WHEAT UNSTEADY Karly Market Bullislily Arrectcd by l'ears of Late Spring in Northwest and Vnfayorable Crop Keports From Winter Grain Belt. CHICAGO, March 22. Although at first the wheat market today seemed to disregard- peace 'reports, the bearish elTect of such gossip became manifest later. -Largely as a result, preees closed unsettled. H f to lifflo net lower, with May at$1.0Sfa I.OS't, and July at $1,071-. t orn lost 114 to 1fi'l?c; oats, ? to &!ic and provisions 10SM2 to 15c. " Peace talk was relatively ignored here for a while, owing to offlcal denials, but tha attitude of traders changed to a con siderable extent after the market at Liver pool developed weakness, which was ex plained in cablegrams as due more or less to "politics." Prior to the dispaatches telling' of the Weak close at Liverpool, prices- were bulllsh ly affected by fears of a late Spring in the Northwest and of a delayed movement there because of continued Wintry weather. Un favorable crop reports from the far. South west and from the soft. Winter wheat states tended also to give values a 'transient lift. Sentiment, however, turned more and more to the bear side as the session drew to a close, with buyers apparently in no mood to take any unnecessary chances over night regardng diplomatic moves In Europe. Crip pled wire service, which may have re tarded -buying orders, formed an . additional handicap to the bulls. Increasing supplies and the slowness of Eastern demand pulled down corn. Oats were depressed by the weakness of Other grain. Heavy sales of lard aeted as a weight on the provision market. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close.

Hotel and Residence at Pacific Beach, IV ear Iloquiam, Are Destroyed by Flames. HOQUIAJ1, Wash., March 22. (Spe cial.) Fire, started, it is believed, by a pet monkey early this morning, de stroyed the Beach Hotel and a cottage at Pacific Beach. Tho monkey lost his life in tho fire. The hotel was a bungalow-style structure of about 20. rooms and was owned by Robert Buelt. The Idle Hour cottage, alongside it, wns owned by Al bert Knable. Both buildings and tneir contents were entirely destroyed. The occupants escaped, but with some dif ficulty. The 'fife had gained such headway and burned with such rapidity that the two buildings were nothing but heaps of ruins before the people of Pacific Beach were aroused. The loss is comparatively small, as both build ings were of cheap construction. Buell had been keeping a pet monkey for some time. It had a great pro pensity for starting fires which amounted almost to mania. It is be lieved the monkey in some way during the night obtained matches and started a fire in the hotel, which spread beyond control before Mr. Buell was aroused.
