TTTT3 SrORXTXa OTIKOOXTATT, THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1916. 23 TRADE SPEEDING UP Business in Wool Stimulated . by Embargo. VALUES ON HIGHER PLANE Grease Wools In Spot Markets Ad vance Two Cents and Scoured n Quotations Are I'our to . Five Cents Higher. The Imposition of the embtrio on Austra lian wool bythe British government haa had a decidedly favorable effect on wool prices Jn America. In the Eastern wool market lines are substantially higher, while In the West, bids for new clip have been advanced. There is more activity noted at Boston as a consequence of the ban on Australian wool, and the dealers there believe that values in the domestic wool markets will go to a level higher than ever before, after a period ef" readjustment. Already a beginning In the advance of the Eastern market has been made. Advances of 2 cents a pound for greasy wools, and 4 to 8 cents per scoured pound have been established in quotations. Not much wool has changed hands at the advanced figures, but not enough time has elapsed since the embargo action occurred to test the situation. According to estimates the business of the past week was between 3.000.000 and 4.000.000 pounds. Most of the increased buying of the period has consisted of speculative operations among dealers. Only occasional cases of buying by manufacturers are understood to be Included In the increased movement. The speculative movement has been of sizable proportions and certain options existing be fore the declaration of the embargo have been closed. A big movement of foreign grades of wool available there was noted until prices were advanced. Both scoured end greasy lots were involved in tWt activ ity Somewhat of a speculative movement has been noticeable also in domestlo scoured wools. Commenting on the operations by Boston buyers in the primary markets, the Commer cial Bulletin says: "Buying in the West has become, if any thing, a little brisker this week, and In the territory section limits appear to have been advanced a little. It Is estimated that there has passed from first hands about 50 to 60 per cent of the territory clip up to the pres ent time. Buying has started in New Mex ico, with fine, and fine medium wools cost ing about T8 to 80 cents, clean, landed here. There has been considerable wool sold in Wyoming and some in Montana at 81 to 32 cents for medium wools and about 23 to 27 cents for the better fine and fine medium clips. Buying has been fairly steady in Idaho and 'the Soda Springs section at the parity of prices ruling elsewhere. In Texas, little has yet been done." FIRMER TONE IN BARLEY MARKET Bids Advanced to $28 for Early Delivery. 'Wheat la Dull. Barley was the only firm feature of the local grain market yesterday, with bids for this month's delivery advanced to $8. There was but little doing in wheat, and until the dock strike Is ended, there is no likelihood of activity. Wheat bids at the Exchange averaged 1 cent lower. Bradstreet's estimates the visible wheat decrease this week at 3.300.000 bushels. The European wheat visible increased 1.051,000 bushels.. .. - - . A New York report says: "Wheat freights to England weak, several tramp steamers offered at 29 cents per bushel, a decline of 10 cents a bushel In the last two weeks." Broomhall says in his international wheat review: "The market has ruled weak and the decline was attributed to abnormally heavy shipments. Most' European markets are fully supplied and the amount on pas sage is large, and farmers' deliveries, both In the United States and Canada, continue very liberal; therefore, the statistical posi tion is inherently weak, and this Is especially true, as Canadian Spring movement Is start ing, while the demand Is limited by previous heavy arrivals at all Importing markets. One great hope of the market is the continuance of the Continental demand, but this demand Is momentarily smaller than heretofore. The decline in freights is attracting attention, and if this decline continues, will exert a strong Influence. Other factors of the mo ment are the uncertainty of the weather and war influences, but prices now are at a more safe level. World's crops promise smaller than last year." The local grain hag market Is steadier. Sellers yesterday asked 12 94 o to 13c. Terminal receipts. In cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat. Barley. Flour. Oats. Bay.

Following is a summary of the crop condi tions In Oregon for the week ending June 6, 191ft, as reported to the local office of the Weather Bureau by special correspondents throughout the state: In many respects the last week was the most favorable one of the season for growth, because it was slightly warmer and there was more sunshine than that prevailing heretofore. It was. however, too cool for rapid growth, and the season Is still very backward. There were several frosty nights in the high, level counties east of the Cas cade Mountains and crops in that section are unpromising, notwithstanding moisture conditions are better than In years. Plowing and late planting are nearly fin ished and the farmers are now busy culti vating their Summer fallowed lands. The week was favorable for the first cutting ot alfalfa and clover and these crops are good. Ptock Is In fine condition. The wool clip Is short, probably owing to lack ot feed during the Winter months. Sugar beets in South trn Oregon are doing nicely and the farmers re pleased with the outlook tor this crop. Apples are dropping considerably in the Hood River district, but fungus is under control In most orchards. Strawberries are ripening slowly. All vegetation needs more sunshine and warmer weather. LOCAL EGG MARKET IS WEAKENING Receipts Exceed Demand and Receivers Re sort to Coolers. Eggs are weakening with continued liberal receipts, which are In excess of the demand. Receivers find it necessary to put their sur plus Into storage. Closer candling Is now required. Quotations on the street ranged from 22 cents to 22 V4 cents. The butter market was firm on cube extras at up to 2546 cents, but under grades were abundant and weak with selling pressure. Poultry was slow and weak and dressed meats were barely steady. bales at the Produce Exchange were: Price. 70 pounds dairy butter. .22 200 pounds dairy butter 22 100 pounds dairy butter 22 SUDDEN ADVANCE IN BERRY MARKET Supply Is Not Equal to Demand and Prices Are Higher. The strawberry market was firmer yester day with a decided Increase in the demand which quickly absorbed the moderate re- ceipts. Prices on the street-were higher at S1.25 to $1.75. There was also a better inquiry for canta loupes. Standards were quoted at $4.50, ponies at 13.7504. and flats at $1.75 1.90. The first Elberta peaches from California will reach the street today. A car of Mississippi tomatoes Is in transit and will arrive Monday. ' Bank Clearings. Bank clearings of the Northwestern cities yesterday were as follows: . Clearings. Balances.

SEEDING IS NOW NEARLY FINISHED Acreage Near Grangeville Will Be 60 Per Cent of Last Year. GRANGEVILLE. Idaho, June 7. (Spe cial.) On account of the good weather the farmers of this section have nearly finished seeding. The area in crop this year will not be more than 60 per cent of the 1915 acreage. This is due to the fact that little Summer fallowing was done owing to the condition of the fields. The ground was too dry and this Spring the weather haa been adverse to Spring work. Much of the late seeding has been forage crops, r ' RAILS HOLD BEST Motor and Marine Shares Are Subject to Liquidation. METAL GROUP IS INACTIVE Stock Speculation Slows Sown Wltii Wall Street's Attention Centered on Coarse of Political Events at Chicago. NEW YORK, June 7. Impending political developments were primarily responsible for the pronounced curtailment of specu lative activity today, the financial com munity focusing its attention largely upon the course of events at Chicago. In general, rails were the strongest fea tures and gave the market such foundation as it really possessed. Norfolk & Western followed up Its recent record by a further advance of 2 to the new high price of 137. Canadian Pacific. "Soo." Illinois Central and Northern Pacific were tempor arily better by 1 to 2 points and Reading was the conspicuous feature of the dull final hour, at that time it showing an extreme gain of 4 points on free absorption to 1053s. Automobile stocks were under the adverse Influence of additional liquidation. Chand ler Motors scoring an extreme decline of 6V4 points, with more moderate losses for Max wells and Studebaker. and Wlllys-Overlands was subject to further profit-taking. Mercantile Marine preferred, the most act ive issue of the session indicated the dis appointment felt at the reported terms of re organization, but developed marked strength Just before the close, and United Fruit rose buoyantly to the new maximum of 166, an overnight gain of 6. Harvester Issues featured the Inactive In dustrials, the common stock of the domestic company rising 4 Vi to 119, with a mod erate advance for the foreign corporation issue. Aside from United States Smelting, which rose to a new record on its advance of 8 to 79Vs. coppers and the metal group as a whole were apathetic. Total sales amounted to 445.000 shares.

TRADE CHANCE IS CITED VVOODEX ARTICLES IX .DEMAND, SATS AAROV IIOLTZ. Ex-Bnslnesa Man of Portland Returns From East for Visit Prepared ness Sentiment $trosg. That the people in the larije Eastern centers are strongly in favor of pre paredness is the declaration of Anmn Holtz. for many years prominent in Portland business circles and now con nected with the May department stores witn Headquarters at Cleveland. O. Mr. Holtz is visiting- in Portland, for a lew weeks-. "The sentiment for preparedness is strong;" he said. "This is particularly true in the coast cities, where the feel ing: Is -prevalent that the United States should have a Navy second to nona. However, while I find the American people favor preparedness, they are not for anything approaching: militarism." Mr. Holtz said that the opportunity is now ripe for .Portland men of vision to engage in the manufacture of small wooden artioles of various kinds. The market in the East Is particularly good for such articles, he said, and is now being: supplied by small towns in Pennr sylvania. New York and Massachusetts. Portland, he is of the opinion, should be able to produce small wooden ar ticles much cheaper than they can be turned out In the Eastern centers "There is an unusual demand." he said, for such small articles as porch swing's. Summer furniture, wooden toys of various kinds and numerous similar necessities made of wood. Portland, in my opinion, is an Ideal place for their manufacture owing: to the large quan tities of raw material available." Mr. Holtz was for years connected with the Meier & Frank store here and also for a time conducted a department store at the corner of Fifth and Wash ington streets, where the Jennings store is now located. He left Portland two years ago for the East He claims the distinction of having: been the original advertising man in Portland. He denied last night that he was con templating locating here again, saying ne would be here for a couple of weeks, when he would return to Cleveland.
