OREGON SHEARING ON SOON iJeadlock Exists In Most Parts or Vest and Consignments May I5e X-'nusnally lleavy This Season. Interest 4n London Sales. Vhe promises of an active tvooI market In tlie Taklmi Valley this week did not materialize. A number of buyers were on hand and submitted bids for such clips as were shown, but the prices asked by grow ers were above the buyers' limits and no business resulted. Some of the buyers have left Tor other points, as they could see no prospect of both sides getting together on terms at the present time. lore or less of a. deadlock now exists In all jarts of the West, which leads to the conviction in the trade that consign ments will be plentiful this season. The basis of values that growers are looking forward to, according to buyers Is respon sible for the cessation of contracting. Shearing will begin in Eastern Oregon tho latter part of next week. Shearing has commenced in Nevada and in that state most of the clips are covered by contracts. These were placed mainly on the basis of 70 to 72 cents, clean cost. In Arizona and other territory -wool sections, growers seem to have settled upon :0 cents or more as the worth of their clips. It makes littlo difference whether the clips run to fine, fine medium or medium. Something has iiecn done recently, around Big Timber, Mont., but prices were extreme and the buying is about done. Interest in the trade centers largely in the reopening of tho London auction sales on April 31. The sales were to have been resumed on April 4, but were postponed because of a Quarrel between buyers and merchants over the time allowance for the payment of purchases. Should London make up the losses of the last sale and develop an upward tendency in wools. It would doubtless have a stimulating effect on the market on this side. Whereas a further decline might seriously unsettle American values, which many dealers now consider at a dangerous point. Among the sales of 1915 territory wool at Boston last week were 80,000 pounds of various grades at private terms; S5.00O pounds original-bag Wyoming at 27 cents, or 73 to 75 cents clean; a lot of Soda Springs hairhjlood combing staple, at 32 cents.. Also further sales have been made h- the leading warehouse Interests, on the basis of SO cents clean for fine staple, 78 to 79 cents for half-blood staple and 75 cents for best fine clothing wool. The quotations on the scoured basis remain as recently revised as follows: Fine, staple, 80 cents; half-blood staple. 77 to 79; three-eighths-blood staple, 70-to T3 cents; quar ' ter-blood staple. 68 to 70 cents; fino cloth ing. 73 to 75 cents; fino medium clothing, 70 to 72 cents ADVANCE IN SUGAR IS EXPECTED Eastern Authority Figures Out Probable shortage. Wires received yesterday by local Jobbers from New York said an advance in refined sugar in the Eastern market was expected to orcur today, in which event Pacific Coast prices may rise tomorrow. A bullish view of the sugar situation Is taken by an'Eastern authority who is able to figure out a probable shortage in this country. He writes: 'As the first three months' figures of ex ports of sugars . to foreign countries are now available, and as the crop estimates are not liable to show any increase, the general statistical position of sugar becomes plainer. If we take the total amount of sugar available for the United States, de duct from this the United States consump tion, and figure the year's exports, using as a basis tho January. February and March flpures, rather surprisingly bullish results are obtained; in fact. It shows . that the exports cannot continue at the same rate or there will not be sufficient sugar for the United States if the consumption is as large as last year, and the figures indicate that sugar must go to a price that will check consumption in the United States or that will decrease the demand from foreign coun tries that are obtaining their sugar here and In Cuba.

An historic event In the steel trade, an advance in the price of steel rails, is confidently expected In trade circles to take place shortly. The advance, according to a high trade authority, prob ably will amount to $3 a ton. The bas price of raHs has stood at $23 a ton for more than 15 years. Today, Judge Elbert II. Gary, chairman of the corporation. Issued a statement say ing that the rail-making subsidiaries of the corporation would maintain present prices until May 1, but would make no commit ments beyond that date. Railroads lately have been breaking all precedents by placing their rail orders al most a year in advance. It was pointed out in steel circles that in 6pite of higher costs of labor, transporta tion and material since the price was fixed In 1901, the $28 figure had been maintained, even though otl-er steel products had ad vanced. . Coffee Futures Market Quiet. NEW YORK, April 5. The market for cofTee .futures was almost at a standstill during" the earlier port of the day, but be came slightly more active before the close on some scattered buying which seemed to be inspired by continued firmness of Bra zil. The opening was nominally unchanged to.- 3 points hlsher and it was not until well along in the day that any business was reported. Later May sold up to S.ISc; July to 8.29c and September 8.38c, with the clos ing showing a net advance of 3 to 8 points. Sales, 12.750 bags.

MUNITION STOCKS SUFFER German Chancellor's Speech in Iteichstag: Accompanied by De clines In War Shares Steel . Changes Are Xarrow. NEW YORK. April 5. The consistent strength of railway issues and irregularities of prominent specialties furnished the con trasting features of today's languid market. Munitions, Mexicans, motors, oils and ship ping shares were higher by 1 or 2 points in the first hour, with greater gains in United States Industrial -Alcohol and Cuban Amer ican Sugar. Much of this ground was lost later when rails offered almost the only relief to the in creasing apathy. Canadian Pacific, St. Paul, Louisville Ac Nashville, Pennsylvania, Read ing. Chesapcsake & Ohio and New Haven im proved from 1 to 2 points, the inquiry being sufficiently broad to Justify belief In an in vestment demand. Prices became more uneven in the later dealings, mainly in consequence of renewed pressure against Crucible Steel and other distinctive war stocks. It may have been only a coincidence, but the heaviness of these Issues at that particular tim came with the publication of fragmentary excerpts of the German Chancellor's speech before the Reichstag. United States Steel and other standard in dustrials moved in narrow limits regardless of the Indirect intimation of tho possible advance in rail prices. Although leading manufacturers declined to make any definite statement, it is authoritively known that the proposed advance in this important product tho first in over 15 years is likely to be as much as $5 a ton. Dealings in the final hour were again en livened by resumption of activity In Mercan tile Marines, tho automobile group and Al cohol, the latter featuring that period with a maximum gain of ttli pointer to 167 li with an advance of 5 for the preferred. Cuban American made an extreme gain of 6 at 226. Total sales amounted to 455,000 shapes. A proposed offering by New York City of $55,000,000 414 per cent bonds was without effect upon outstanding issues, although the tone of the bond market was irregular. To tal sales, par value, were $3,745,000. Panama coupon 3s advanced per cent on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing -ales. nmh. J.ow.

In pro visions, the outcome varied from 10c decline to a shade advance. Assertions of improvement In the out look for ho Winter crop came chiefly from Illinois. Missouri and Kansas. Official fiK ures showing that 146,000,000 bushels of the 1915 Winter crop was unfit for milling had some influence early in lifting the value of wheat, but the effect failed to last. Corn gave way in sympathy with wheat. The market lacked any afrgresslve support. In the oats crowd, buying on the part of houses with seaboard connections offset to some extent the weakness of other grain. Packers' selling turned provisions down grade. Early gains, due to higher prices on hogs, were more than wiped out. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. ITiph.
