YAKIMA MARKET IS QUIET io!M-iile JWiyi n KIswIicrc in West at SI roil s: Trlceu targe AVyoni in- Half-Blood Clip Tukcu at 2 7 Cents. Wool tti'anns is under ay In several Trt of Kastern Oregon, particularly in tbe Echo vc-ilon, but will not fce general lt for some time No contracting buaineM t reported, and It is not lik'.y Utr-rn IM b n- volume of trading before a good part r t't clip is khorn. The prospect aro that the bulk of the Oregon wool will be held tor the resular 1 ciaju. The Washington market J. altu qui' t as present. In Southern Utah the clip now hvlr.s iorn have been llm; quite t-adily at prii-es which mean around 7 J -entn, clean land'd tafia for short flnu and fine medium oj1j. In the Triangle occasional sal s ar reported at -Z to U ifnta, and occasionally better for medium clip. In Wyoming th purchase of a half-blood clip, estimated a shrinking about iVi to l per cent. Is re ported purchased by a "Western buyer at r nts. i?ome wool is being taken to Cali fornia at prices ranging anywhere from 1 to 7S cents, t-Uan landed basia, according to tlie staple character of the wool. OcraMonal lts arc beins sold in New Mexico on a parity with tiie above prices, or about T' to 7 J cnt clean for flno wools. The Eastern mohair markets have not yet responded to the extreme prices paid in Ore gon, according to the quotations of the He ton r-omrnercial I'.uHtI:i. That paper sa cf the foreign mohair situation: "In Kneland the situation is very strong, but Is largely one of markimr time. Some 1.nins has been done in Yorkshire on rape Summer firsts at 17 d, and Basautun have rcaiiz d only two pence less. The public auction of Buxton, Ilonali &. Oo. was a considerable- fizzle, as tpinn-rs refused to bid In the open market, at least any adequate prices. Some operators think that business Is l;eM down to a. minimum for the sake of the effect it may have on the new hair at the Cape this month. 'Imports cf mohair, alpaca, etc., during the month of March (including immediate con sumption imports and withdrawals from, wareh u5e) were r.77,0J3 pounds, compared with ::1.3PI pounds in February and Z23.'J4 pounds in January."

Following is the summary of the crop con ditions in Oregon for the week, as reported to the local office of the "Weather Fiureau by special correspondents throughout the state: -s I'nuMially cool and showery weather prc aitrd the fore part of the w- k. Th latter portion w as milder, but with an excels of cloudiness, and ail vegetation made slow Growth. t In the central counties, where dry Tann ine is practiced, it was windy on several tls and the nights were cool, consequently growth there was slow, notwithstanding the il b comparatively well moistened. Kall-own wheat is in excellent condition, and pasturage on the ranges has mado sat isfactory grow th. itange stock are gaining f if h rapidly, spring whut ajcding is nearly finished. That sown early In coining up ow-ly and Ioks thrifty and promising. Kxcellent progrv-ss ha len made with m i mm r fallowing, ana some far nit r have finished plowing. Hardens and potatoes arc bai-kward. and some of the bottom lands have not yet bet-n planted on account of tho soli b-tng too wet to work. Upland farm work is farther advanced and Uio crop on this land, while healthy and promising, made little advancement during the wetk. Fruit bloom is heavy in all sections, nd "In tho southern counties the early fruit ha, from all appearance et well. There was one luavy frost during the week, but the damage Has not general, as In the localities where the raoet fruit is raised there w an a ltsht fg In the early morning which pro tected the crop from too rapid thawing and thu greatly lessened the damage, HOP MIIPMKNTS TO IATK, tMI.OOO MAI-K8 Oregoa Crop J Km limited at Uesa Than J IO.immj Uale. From figures that have been compiled of bop shipments from Oregon from September 1. to date and estimates of the stocks remaining in the state.

Total shipments since the beginning of te season have been Od.OoO bales, includ ing a quantity of Washington hops, va riously estimated up to looO bales, that were forwarded to tho Kast by way of Portland. Unsold stocks are estimated at lU.uuo bales, of which about &WO bales are held by t he association and the remainder by In dependent growers. About i?iuO bales, it is understood, are held In this state for ac count of Eastern oV-alers. The market at present Is slow- on both spot and future business.

Among traders, to whom tho narrow opcrationt of tho 'day were largely con fined, sentiment seemed to undergo a re versal of its recent moderate optimism.
