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. Figures are as follows:

STEEL RAILS MAY SOON ADVANCTi
Present Trice Has Been Maintained for
Fifteen Years.
NEW YORK, April 0. 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.

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.

Improved Field Reports Carry
Wheat Prices Down.
REALIZING SALES HEAVY
Winter Crop Outlook in, Illinois,
. Missouri and Kansas Is More
Favorable Cliicago 3Iar
fcet Closes Steady!
CHICAGO, April 5. Wheat prices took a
downward swing today,' after an early ad
vance. A few reports of better field con
ditions, caused by warmer weather, led to
heavy realizing salee by holders. The mar
ket closed steady, but lil"c to 2,.429c
net lower, with May at $1.1SU U 1.18 and
July at $1.17rl.l71.i. Corn lost H(Sc to
:4Wlc. and oats a shade to c. 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.

requesting that the question of bonding
the county for $370,000 for good roads
be submitted to the electorate on May
13, are being circulated and freely
signed. The court, unofficially, has ad
vised the Coos County Good Roads
Association that it would act favorably
on such petitions and, therefore, it is
conceded the county will vote on the
measure on primary day.

to the County Court March 28, in addi
tion to recommending which highways
should first receive attention, set. forth
the logical route improvements should
follow if the county would fit its high
ways with those which are to be
eventually designated as state roads.
Tne report outlined a highway for the
Tenmile district, which before had been
overlooked.
While it has frequently occurred in
Coos and other counties throughout the
state, petitions and procedure in good
roads moves towards bond issues were
declared illegal and efforts were wast
ed, the proceedings in this attempt have
been worked out by District Attorney
L. A. Liljeqvist.
