Substantial Sales of , Wool
Made and Market Improves.
OREGON PRODUCT SHIPPED
Manufacturers Apparently Taking
More Interest in Wool Situation
'and Have Taken Over Some
; Good Consignments.
A general Improvement In the wool mar
ket is indicated by recent movements of
that product in the Pacific Northwest. Not
only have some substantial sales been made
by producers at exceptionally good prices,
but dealers also report turning over aome
good consignment to Eastern manufac
turers. The Boston wool market, which to a great
extent controls the handling of the wool
output. Is still reported to bo somewhat
lethargic, although a steady run of small
sales Is being made. Soma of the other
large manufacturing centers, however, re
port noticeable improvement in business.
Regular quotations made by Portland
dealers on Eastern Oregon fine wool range
from 23 to 26 cents, and on coarse wool from
-the same section SO to 32 cents. Willamette
Valley wool Is now strong at 35 cents.
Some recent sales. Involving an exceptionally
good product, are reported to have been
made at prices around 40 cents.
f There are several million pounds of wool
now in the dealer' hands, it is estimated.
: and probably a million and a half In the
hands of the growers. Of this latter amount
It Is estimated that a million Is held by
'Eastern Oregon growers and the remainder
by Valley farmers.
Of the Boston wool market the Commer
cial Bulletin says:
"Sales have been invairably small in size
as well aa comparatively few in number.
There are a few houses which have done a
' fair business judged by the number of sales,
but their trade has been confined almost
wholly to scoured wools, and the individual
' sales have generally been for small quan
tities." ' Good activity, however. Is reported In the
Philadelphia market, a communication from
there under date of August 5 saying:
"The wool market is fairly active and
prices are holding very firm. This week's
sales are much more satisfactory as a whole
than those of last week, although many
houses report very little activity on the
part of manufacturers. In some quarters
' no salea at all are reported. Territory wools
of a fine and fine medium grade were sold
recently at 30 to 34 cents. There has also
been some selling of bright Missouri quarter-
. blood wool at 40 cents. About 220,000
. pounds of carpet stock were sold by one
house at between 17 and 44 cents. Sales
of pulled wool are also noted at prices
, ranging between 36 '4 and 57 cents. One
. sale of 64s, fine tops, amounting to 8000
pounds, was made to a dealer early In the
week at 1.05."
The wool trade Is struggling with the
h ighest prices ever known according to a
New York trade journal. It says of the
market there:
More business was placed through the
local markets by domestic manufacturers in
the course of the week, but beyond the ex
treme firmness of values there is not much
now In the situation.
"About a quarter of a million pounds of
South Americans changed hands during the
week, and offerings are being made there
for wool that Is still on the sheep's back
and cannot begin to come here for three
" months."
WHEAT JUMPS TO NEW TOP RECORD
Price of Hour Advances Simultaneously
40 Cents a Barrel.
A new top record for wheat was estab
Hshed at the noon session of the Portland
Merchants' Exchange . yesterday when the
. bid price of bluestem Jumped to $1.17, an
advance of 2 cents over the quotations for
Wednesday. The bid price for all other
. grades of wheat showed an advance of 1
cent over the exchange prite of the preced
ing day.
Simultaneously with the advance made In
wheat quotations came the announcement
that the price of flour had been advanced
by Portland millers 40 cents a barrel. This
. makes the price on patents $tf a barrel, with
corresponding advances on other grades as
follows: Straights, $5.30(5 5.50; exports,
$5.20; Valley, $5. SO; whole wheat, $6 20, and
Graham, $0.
The advance In flour quotations was not
unexpected as tie announcement had been
made .Wednesday that any further advance
- In wheat quotations would necessitate a raise
in flour prices. Millers reported the flour
market to be steady at the new quotations
and a good volume of sales were- made. This
Is the second advance made !in tho price of
, flour In the local market since the price of
wheat began to advance nearly two weeks
ego. The first advance made the latter part
of last week was 20 cents a barrel.
The advance in wheat quotations In the
local market was made in spite of the fact
that the Chicago market showed practically
no gain in September delivery quotations
; and a loss in December delivery prices. Sep
tember delivery wheat in Chicago closed
"only He higher than the closing quotations
Wednesday and December delivery wheat
closed He lower.

grades of wheat were: Bluestem, $1.17;
lortyfoid, si.13; club, $1.11; red fife, $1.11,
ana red liusslan, $1.10.
as a result of the further advance In
quotations heavy sales were reported to have
been made at the different wheat centers
or the Pacific Northwest, some Portland
dealers buying large quantities of the cereal.

SALMON MARKET CONTINTES STRONG
lf mand In New York and Eastern Centers
Said to Bo Increasing.
The Portland market for salmon con
-'tlnues strong and a good volume of sales is
reported. No advances have been made in
quotations, and dealers are of the opinion
!,that prices are pretty well fixed, at least
"for the present. Much of the business now
Js for Eastern delivery, the markets for
- salmon In the Eastern centers being re
ported particularly active. Advices from
Xw York say:
"The demand for salmon is increasing,
and as a result news from the Coast i
awaited with considerable interest. Inti
matlons sre that the opening prices of
jvtaska salmon will be forthcoming abou
.August 20, but meanwhile considerable busi
ness is being confirmed for medium reds at
about the basal of $1.25 for tall a The de
mand for spot lots is also on the Increase,
and there is a firmer feeling in all lines.
6UCAR PRICKS TAKE ANOTHER DROP
Quotations In Portland Go Down 10 Cents
a Hundred.
' Another decline of 10'cents a hundred on
all grades of refined sugar is being quoted.
y refiners and the new price became ef
fective in Portland yesterday. Further weak-
.xiess and depression was reported In the
susax trade all along the Coast.
A factor in the weakened sugar market
Is the opening of the beet sugar season in
California. Leuened demand owing to the
advance of the canning season and the
smaller demand from abroad also assisted
In the price reduction.

of Crop Estimates of the United States De
partment of Agriculture estimates, from the
