Wil lamette Valley in Coming Week. Wool Buyers Waiting for Yak . ima Season to Open. There Is very little Interest shown yf In new-clip mohair. The Eastern market is firm on imported and on old domestic hair. but the buyers, apparently, are making no effort to get in touch with growers here. Only a little mohair is belnflr offered, how ever, as shearing has been done in only a few localities. If the weather continues favorable, goat shearing should be more or less general in the valley next week. Two small lots of 1010 mohair have been bought in the past few days at 28 and U'J cents. A short time ago, it was thought tho market would open around 30 or 31 cents, but dealers are now talking a 1!8 to SO-cent market The wool market Is also dragging. Trade Is quieter In the East, but in the West growers are still asking high prices. Buy ers' limits are not up to sellers' ideas, and lfmay take some time yet before they can get together in most localities. A number of buyers are at North Taklma waiting for things to open there. As it rained up to two days ago, not much shorn wool has been put out for Inspection, and there it no disposition to contract for Yak ima wool on tho sheep's back, w hen, by wait ing a few days, tho sheered article can be examined. The only contracting lately done In this territory was at Pendleton, where Ed J. Hurko bought 100.000 pounds from the J. K. Smith Livestock Company. The price was not announced, but was said to be the same paid for other clips in that section. Shearing in the Willamette Valley will not bo general for a month yet. Inquiry is lacking, but the price range will be In line with values In the Eastern counties, allow ance being made for the lighter shrinkage of the Valley product. In its weekly review of foreign wool mar Vet conditions, the Commercial Bulletin, of Boston, says: "Sales have beeti held this week in Mel bourne and In Sydney. Prices have been firmly maintained there for any good wools and about on the basis of 3f8.j cents for any -wools that could be called good combing, although this class of wools is practically not to be had in the markets down below at the present time, r.eally good top-making wools are being bought at about 78 cents and some importers figure that they can land them at slightly less money. Toor wools In Melbourne are pretty Irregular In price and not very keenly sought. Ameri can competition for good wools was fairly keen. England was also buying- more freely. 'The situation at the Cape la firm and offerings on good wools are made at un changed rates. Advance information on ' the new-clip wools is to the effect that prices are fully up to or even above the parity of the old wools. "South American offerings are chiefly of odds and ends and are by no means heavy. Prices, needless to remark, are strong and In not a few Instances out of range of the . general market. "The situation In England shows little change. English wools are In slack demand and crossbred wool and tops have been rather plow of late, but merinos seem to be fairly firm. . LARGE ORDER FOB AtASKA SALMON Italy and Trance Would Buy 490,000 Cases of Pink Ilsh. The Italian and French governments have Jointly placed orders with Pacific Coast packers for 400.000 cases of pink salmon, ac cording to the New York Journal of Com merce. Buying is In progress on the Coast In an attempt to fill the order, but up to the pres ent only about 70.000 cases out of the total have been purchased. Such a heavy de mand, with stocks of pink salmon avail able in very small supplies, has caused the packers to advance their prices for the re mainder of the order and negotiations are paid now to be hinging on tho price that will he paid. While the price at which the supplies al ready bought have been obtained is not of ficially known, the general asking price for pink salmon on the Coast during the past two weeks has ranged from 73 cents to 80 cents a dozen cans. If the purchase were made at the inside price, which brokers say is hardly probable, the order would amount to $000,000. As only a small part of the stocks ordered have been secured up to the present time, and with the packers refusing to sell further supplies at the prices paid for the first 70,000 cases, the actual cost of the salmon to the foreign governments will probably be considerably more than noo,000. WHEAT TRADE IS AT STANDSTILL No Offers to Sell by Farmer, and Eastern Iiids Are JSot High Enough. No wheat is being offered in the country. At the Merchant Exchange, neither blue-r-tem r.or red - wheat was offered for early delivery. Bid prices at the exchango were raised from I. to 4 cents. There was some Eastern inquiry, but the prices quoted in private wires were not qual to the public quotations from the East. Coarse grains were also dulL Oats bids were advanced 3 to 50 cents.

' COPPERS HOLD WELL Only Wall-Street Stocks to Withstand Pressure. SUSTAINED BY TRADE NEWS Home Demand for Metal Is Greatest in History of Industry, and Large Export Sales Are Also Re ported Hails Are Quiet. NEW TORK. March SO. In Its salient features - today's market traversed the ground made moro or less familiar by preceding scssionj of the week. Prices were irregularly higher or lower In the dull fore noon, but the movement developed a down ward trend later. Quotations were mostly at lowest levels In the final hour, the heaviness of that period being ascribed to the publication of the statement by the railway executives that offered little, hope of fkn immediate adjustment of existing differences with the trainmen. C'oJ.pers were almost the only stocks to dispiuy consistent strength, their improve ment being based on additional reports of largo sales of the metal for domestic and foreign consumption. While these reports lucked official confirmation. It is known that the homo demand for copper is the greatest in the history of that Industry. Industrials and equipments, including the munitions group, moved unevenly,, with a preponderance of declines. Circumstantial statements Indicating a renewal of inquiry for war supplies failed to enlist interest In stocks of that class, most of which closed the day with net losses. The Mexican group, embracing petroleum, wa firm at times, hut fell aoruptly later, Texas Company leading the decline with a loss of 5 points at IS!. Federal .Mining & Smelting preferred was especially heavy, losing 8 M: at :(!. Vnited States Fteel re corded a maximum loss of at !vl, but Beth:ehem fc-tee: made slight recovery from Its steady decline of recent days by a fcain of 4 to 433. Rails were less susceptible to pressure, but that division again denoted foreign liquidation. Reading. New York Central and some of the pacifies and grangers were lower by fractions to more than a point, but dealings In these stocks were relatively light. Total sales of stocks amounted to 310.O0O shares. Trading 'in tho new Canadian government f iier cent bonds gave fresh impetus to that branch of the securities list. The 1021 Issue sold up to UOS, the 1926s at H744 and the 1031s at 07. Anglo-French 3s repeated their recent maximum of 03 H. Total sales of bonds, par value, were $4. .125. 000.

Pending tlie establishment of a date employment bureau and the organiza tion of state, city and Federal employ ment bureaus so that they can handle the entire employment problem in the state, the city's advisory committee on unemployment yesterday decided to drop the plan of submitting- to the voters at the coming- state election ini tiative measures combininjr all state, county and municipal labor agencies into one department and abolishing; all private aRencies. It was decided that a bill tvill,be pre pared and submitted to the Legislature at its next session providing for the es tablishment of a state employment bureau.

Prices closed nervous, 1 (& 2c to SV2'io up, with May at $1.14" 1.14-H and July at $1.124 1.12S. Corn gained "ic to l"4c and oats 4c to -Jfitlc. In provisions the .outcome va ried from 2Kc decline to a rise of 7HIW10C. Except at the immediate opening, wheat showed an upward slant almost the entire session. Lower prices at Liverpool caused the initial weakness, but then the market began to respond to a renewal of damage reports from Indiana and other Winter crops states and lo advices of unfavorable weather in the spring crop belt. Corn responded to the strength of wheat and to reports of decided Improvement In the export and domestto shipping demand. The outlook was for decreasing stocks at Kansas City. Oats worked higher with other grain. Besides, weather conditions were against seeding. Provisions developed some firmness on account of the bulge in grain. At first, however, declines in the value of hogs acted as a drag on the market. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. T.ow. Close.
