DHJUR BIO LIFTED
JForty Cents Paid for Fine
Valley Clips.
OFFER SAME FOR ORDINARY
Higher Market Tiikcly to Induce
More Selling Two Tool Sales
to lie Held Today and
Oilier Scheduled.
The Oregon mohair market is strongly on
the upgrade at the present time. Yesterday,
40 cents was being offered, which is all that
mohair is worth laid down in Boston.
The Riddle and Stump clips at Monmouth,
ssreating 60U0 pounds of fancy hair from
registered goats, was bought by the H. 1
Norton Company a few days ago at 40
cents, and the same firm yesterday bid this
price for ordinary mohair in all sections.
Selling has not been free, heretofore, but it
is thought that the raising of the market to
the 40-cent level will promote more busi
ness. The first pool sales of the 3016 season will
be held at. Ashland and at Brownsville today.
At ths former place, about 10,000 to 12,000
pounds will be offered, and Brownsville
growers will sell about 5,000 or 6000 pounds.
On Saturday, April 22, pool sales will be
lield at iscio and Lebanon. The Sclo pool will
contain about 12.000 pounds and that at Leb
anon from 33.0U0 to 110, 000 pounds. The date
fixed tor the Bddyville sale is April 2i, and
the pool will contain some 110,000 pounds of
mohai.1.

ARRIVALS OF lVOOL IX EAST DELAYED
Traffic Situation May Have Effect on
Market Trices.
The congested freight situation and the
dlay in moving wool is likely to have con
siderable effect on the wool market this
eeason. It is already a factor in the Kast,
eo far as spot prices are concerned, as
ehown by the following mail advices from
Xioston:
"Predictions regarding what will happen
w hen the now wool clip begins to be of
fered to the railroads for transportation to
the East are considered futilu by the local
trade. The untoward railroad conditions
Jiave created a decided feeling of uncer
tainty here. The first effect perhaps is
noticeable in the attitude of sellers toward
disposing of the remainder of the 3013 do
mestic wools. The prospects of delay in the
shipment of 101 wools to this market mean
euch an opportunity for the distribution of
t ho unsold supplies now available here, in
cluding the foreign clips, that sellers will
bo able to hang back more than they might
otherwise have done. The seriousness of
the situation makes it not improbable that
" allies will be affected in this market.
"Already the blockade of freight lias inter
fered with the arrival of wool supplies, and
the influence of the transportation situation
Js a moot subject for discussion by the
trade. Exasperating delays have been oc
casioned in getting shipments of foreign
wool landed at Vancouver and other Pa
cific ports and then transferred to railroad
cars for Boston. Thus It is seen that the
listurbance is not only in relation to the
jcw domestic clip. Many lots of wool ar
said to have been two or three times longer
on the trip across the continent to Boston
than all the way from Australasia to the
Iacific Coast."
EGGS IP WITH STRONG DEMAND
Storage Speculators Raise Bid to SI Cents.
li utter Is Weak.
Another advance was scored in the eg
market yesterday as a consequence of strong
er bidding by storage speculators. The case
count price was firm at -1 cents, although
a little business was still reported done at
ni cnts. This local buying. In connec
tion with Northern orders, it is believed will
hold the market up.
There was no change in the butter situ
ation. Tiio city creameries still give out
a 34 cent quotation, but there were add!
t ional reports of secret price cutting and
some of the retailers announced they were
buying the best brands at 1 and 3'J cents.
There were also reports in some quarters
of a surplus of stock. The San Francisco
exchange price remained at 27 cents.
Poultry and dressed meat receipts were
light and prices were unchanged.

STOCKS RALLY LATE
Buying Orders Appear From
Substantial Sources-
TOIME AT CLOSE IS FIRM
Wall Street Takes More Optimistic
View of International Situation.
Less Attention Paid to For
eign ISxcliange Fluctuations.
NEW YORK, April 34. The shadows of
the European and Mexican situations hung
over the stock market again today, causing
further liquidation and encouraging the trad
ing element to extend its operations for the
short account. As the session progressed,
however, some became more hopeful, and
buying orders which appeared to e man a to
from substantial sources effected a very
decided readjustment. In fact, various active
shares finished with material uet gains.
The first hour's operations of almost 300,
000 shares comprised mora than the usual
variety of issues, but Mexican Petroleum,
United States Steel and Crucible Steel led
the decline of that period. Mexican Petro
leum was the center of weakness, making
an extreme loss of 3 'i at uiAi. but closing
at 101 War -shares, motors and a half-
score of equipments w-ero down J. to 3 points,
na United States steel fell to -U beiore
it rebounded to 83.
Rails again proved an exception to the
lowering" trend, although Now York Central,
Union Pacific, Erie and Norfolk Western
were temporarily depressed.
High-priced specialties were among the
few issues to hold back In the later deal
ings, Bethlehem Steel falling 5 to 4G9, and
General Motors 10 to 440. Crucible, the
locomotives and Mercantile Marines s ile
al ned the market at its close.
Total sales of stocks amounted to 64o,000
shares.
Indifference to the course of foreign ex
change was again manifest in all but iuter-
ational banking circles. Paris checks made
the new low quotation of 6.0t before it
responded to the buying of remittances.
Roubles were weak, lires yielded some of
yesterday's gain, and marks were btrong
with little variation lo sterling.
Indications of the prevalence of tha ex
traordinary business activity were again af
forded by the enormous bank exchanges, al
though these were somewhat under recent
records. The annual statement ot the Ray
Consolidated Copper Company supplemented
recent reports of large earnings by similar
companies, and the Western. Union Tele
graph Company disclosed a net gain of $1.-
S4.401: lor the first Quarter ot tne current
year.
Bonds made slight concessions in speu-
lativo issues on light dealings. Total sales.
par value, were 2. 755,000.
I nitcd States bonds were unchanged on
call.

BUSINESS PACE RAPID
TRADE OLTGnOWS FACILITIES FOR
PRODUCTION".
Ursently Needed Supplies Are Difficult
to Obtain Demand Not Checked
by Higher Price.'
NEW YORK, April 14. Dun's Review will
say:
All legitimate enterprise continues to
prosper, the absence of speculative excesses
affording the best assurance of sustained
progress. Fundamental conditions strengthen
as strictly domestic influences become in
creasingly potent and wholesome optimism
characterizes reports from every leading cen
ter and section.
There is still complaint, however, of the
annoyances and delays incidental to the
rapid development of trade and Industry.
Business in various lines has already out
grown productive facilities and in many
cases it is difficult, if not impracticable, to
obtain urgently needed supplies with which
to Till consumers requirements.
The transportation problem also continues
a hindrance, though deliveries are now ef
fected somewhat more promptly and the
re-establishment of a surplus in idle freight
cars indicates that headway Is being made
In bettering traffic conditions.
It is still remarkable, in -view of tho ex
tensive rise in prices, that consumptive de
mands arc sustained in unprecedented vol
ume.
Weekly bank clearings were 14,034,430,033.

RUMORSGAUSEDROP
Wheat Price Breaks Down on
Baseless Reports.
EARLY ADVANCE WIPED OUT
Unfounded Stories Regarding t!er
nuin Ambassador and Supposed
Calling Out of Troops Start
Selling at Chicago.
CHICAGO. April 34. Baseless rumors In
relation to the German Ambassador and to
.a supposed calling out of troops by Presi
dent Wilson broko down tho price of wheat
today after an early advance. Tho market
closed unsettled, varying from a shade
lower to c net gain, with May at $l.li
ra'1.36Vj ud July at $1.13. Corn finished
$3 Vi c to c up, oats unchanged to c
higher and provisions at a, rise of 2Vie10c.
Adjournment - of today's Cabinet meeting
in Washington seemed to be the signal for
a spreading of wild reports which, before
denials could be obtained, more than wiped
out substantial gains that had been scored
by wheat bulls. Previously, tho only de
pression was right at the start, but the
initial tendency to weakness had soon dis
appeared owing Nto what seemed to be a
general exposition to minimize the serious
ness of German and Mexican difficulties, and
to give chief attention to crop prospects
and to ordinary factors of supply and
demand.
Improvement in seaboard demand gave
strength to corn. In this connection, slg
nlficance was attached to higher prices at
Liverpool and to adverso crop reports from
Argentina.
Oats, like corn, responded to a good ship
ping call from tho Kast. Scarcity of cars,
however, restricted business.
Active "trading in lard was the main fea
ture in tho provision trade. A rise in the
value of hogs furnished incentive to the
buyers.
Leading futures ranged as follows;
