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.

f HOPS GAIN WITH WARM WEATHER.
Plowing and Late Planting Nearly Finished.
Stock Condition Good.
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. '

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,

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.

Iteports From Northwest

CHICAGO, June T. Reports of German
military reverses were taken as a pretext
for a selUng drive todsy In the wheat mar
ket here. As a result the market dosed
weak, 1 cent to 1H cents net lower, with
July at 1.04H 1.04, and September at
tl.Ofl. Corn finished at the same aa yes
terday's wlndup; oats ttOto up, and pro
visions at an advance of 20 to 57 centa
Beneficial rains fn the Southwest tended
noticeably to ease off prices In the wheat
market during the forenoon, but the effect
had been much more than oveacome by mid
day, owing to the unfavorable crop reports
from the Northwest.
Corn ihowed more resistance to selling
pressure thau was the case with wheat.
Signs that receipts would decrease from now
on appeared to bs the chief influence on the
bull side
' Oats showed evident sympathy with the
bearish action ot wheat.
Provisions were helped upward by a sharp
advance in the lard market at LIverpooL

CONTRACTORS AT RESORT SAT EM
PLOYES ARE THREATENED.
Nonunion Laborers Are, Said to Have
Been Driven Away From 'Work
By Men on Watch. '
Because of threats against its non
union employes, tbe Interstate Con
tract Company is with difficulty main
taining a sufficient force for the con
struction of the bridge and driveway
of the Columbia Beach Amusement
Company near the new interstate bridsre
on the Columbia River, according; to
officers 01 the company.
Leonard- Marshall, secretary of the
interstate Contract Company, declares
that the vicinity of the work is con
stantly picketed and that these turn
back and drive away laborers and arti
sans who have been employed by the
company,
"The pickets have absolutely stopped
many from poing to work, and turned
them back by intimidation," declared
Mr. Marshall. "Men have been assault
ed and forcibly sent away. Some pickets
are on KUard all day, and at various
times quite a large mob assembles. Re
cently they assaulted one of our work
men and pushed him to the edge of a
trestle. He would have fallen to his
death if it had not been for the assist
ance of a fellow workman."

banker, who talked in a llg;ht vein, giv
ing impressions of tbe convention and
Incidents of the West generally. His
talk was much enjoyed.
"Predictions as to the result of the

freely made." he said. "I believe we
are not true, patriotic bankers if we do
not watch over our resources and bo
ready if the shock that some predict
does come. But I do not believe In
being pessimistic We can look into
the future with a reasonable amount of
encouragement."
J. W. Bennett, of Marshfleld, talked

threatened for a time, but heroic work
on the part of the volunteer fire de
partment saved them from destruction.
