In Northwest Slight Changes
In Bids on Local Board.
Feed Cereals Steady.
h grain dealers of Portland are taking
an active Interest In the various bills pre
sented to the legislature or proposed bearing-
on the matter of sraJn Inspection In this
state. In view of the probability of bulk
handling In the future this la a matter of vital
importance. The local dealers are offering no-
measure of this kind to the Legislature but
are giving their attention to the bills
brought forward.
A meeting of the Merchants Exchange As
sociation was held yesterday to consider one
of these measures, which Is known as Hons,
bill 172. This bill was drawn up by ths State
Horticultural Society and Is one of the con
solidation measures before the Legislature.
grain trade here Is solely Interested In
Vine i
section pertaining to grain Inspection.
J which is natterned after the Washington
and Federal grain Inspection taws. The other
bills will also be considered.
The wheat market was dull at all points
yesterday. Country advices Indicated a ces
sation of demand for Eastern account, and
there was a lack of Interest on the part of
Coast millers. At the Merchants' Exchange
bids for January bluestem and January and
February club were raised 1 cent, while
other offers were unchanged from Wednes
day. Oats and barley were Quiet and steady
The Liverpool grain cable said:
"Wheat market dull, arrivals Increasing
Corn strong with light offers; expected light
Argentine shipments. Oats very firm; no
shipments from Argentina this week, and
American offers continue firm with good de
niBnd. Argentine weather clear and hot.
Buenos Aires wheat firm; exporters bidding
end liberal clearance!, mostly to Continent.
Corn firm, oats strong. Argentine shipments
this week estimated at 2,405,000 bushels
It-heat. 1,000,000 bushels corn, no oats. India,
weather very favorable. Final official acre
age placed at 33.924,000, against 2S.200.0UO
acres last year. Native food grains yielding
well. Bottoms are Increasing and rates de
cltnlng; American rates nominal."

HIGH MOHAIR PRICES LOOKED FOB
Stren firth of Wool Market Leading: Factor In
Situation.
Tha mohair man who predicted that the
Oregon market this year will open at CO
cents and climb to C5 cents .may or may
not be right, but there is no question but
that the market will be a atrons one
throughout the eeason. The high price of
wool la the chief factor in the market, and
the certainty that Imports of foreign mohair
will be very light adds to the strength of
the situation. A clip In Oregon about equal
to last year's la looked for.
In the Boston mohair market business In
the past week has been of small propor
tions, although prices are as strong as ever,
according to the Commeruial Bulletin. Some
domestic and more or less Cape hair are held
In the market but the mills are not anxious
buyers at the prices asked,
Yorkshire Is running rairly well and s)
a fairly steady buyer of raw material at
firm prices. A fairly good proportion of
the spinners have some orders for export,
more especially to America.
At the Cape prices are very strong. Sup
plies are getting more and more limited and
holders more reluctant to cell.
The alpaca market In Liverpool Is con
tinuing at a fairly strong pace both for
fleeces and defective sorts.
Boston quotations: Beet combing, 5557c;
' good combing, 50 3 53c; ordinary combing,
45 4jp4Sc ; best carditis, 43 45c ; good card

STEADY DEMAND FOB OREGON HOPS
Only Small Surplus Carried Into Next Crop.
Exports and Beer Sales.
There Is a steady demand for hops and
stocks are moving out of first hands at
about the usual rate for this time of year.
The season will probably close with a
mailer carry-over than was antlciitedr
Frieea ruling In this state range from 5 to
9 eents. and up to 10 cents is being paid
In California.
To date exports of hops from the United
tates have been about 23.000 bales, of
Jen less than 1400 bales were sent to the
United Kingdom. The movement has been
chiefly to the Orient, South America and
Canada. As there have been practically no
Imports Into the United States to offset the
outgo, the showing must therefore be con
ldered a satisfactory one. and the British
embargo not such a serious factor after all
except Insofar as It reduced comneti tlon
among buyers m the American markets.
It may be this lack of competition from
England, rather than the closing of this
Knglish outlet to our surplus, which is
holding prices down to a level unprofitable
to growers. It cannot all be chanced to the
dry movement, for the latest brewery statis
tics reveal an Increase in beer sales in the
past Tear. Government returns from the
principal brewing centers of the United
States, representing 05 per cent of the total
production, show a beer output In 1917 of
65.S30.1S7 barrels, as against 50.77i.002 ar
rel brewed In 1910.
ONION SUPPLY IS SHARrLY REDUCED
Only 63 Care Remain Unsold Ln Oregon.
Stocks South Light,
Only 53 cars of onions remain unsold In
Oregon. At San Francisco there are 4JJ cars
and Uos Angeles bee 3000 sucks. This stock
must supply the! Coast until new onions
from some source are available, yet the en
tire quantity will not remain here, for East
ern orders have to be filled. The first out
side onions will probably come from Aus
tralia, but dealers do not look for any
considerable Quantity before March. The
aelling price In the country Is $5.50, at
which a number of cars have been sold this
Potatoes are firm at the old price, though
tit ere are rumors of some buyers bidding
a higher quotation. A few local retailers
are still selling to their customers at $L7S
to 2 a sack.

of - Southern vegetables, all of which are

cents and artichokes at $1.15 & 1.25 a dozen.

hour.
Ralls were a rain an uncertain Quantity.
Transcontinental issues moved ln a very
narrow groove, grangers were fractionally
better and coalers sluggish, although West
ern Maryland was disposed to yield with
other low-priced Issues, Total sales of stocks
were 425.000 shares.
Foreign exchange markets were very dull
until the final hour, when rates on the
Teutonic centers shaded after previous
strength.
The Bank of England's gain during the
last week of about $2,500,000 gold was ac
cepted as a natural outcome of the cessa
tion of exports of the metal to this country.
The statement also shows a slight strength
ening of reserve liabilities.
Except for the irregular tendencies. In
dustrial issues tending lower while railroads
were higher, the bond market was without
marked feature. Total sales, par value,
$3,845,000. United States bonds were un
