CAR LACK STOPS TRADE Oats Br Ins $41 to Be Forwarded to California Southern Dealers Axe In Market for AH Northern Grains. Only the lack of ears prevent the quick cleaning up of the remaining stock of wheat in the Northwest. The East wants wheat badly and would pay extreme prices, bnt dealers cannot accept new business as they are still thousands of cars short for the moving of grain previously sold on con tract to Eastern millers. There are in stances where cars were ordered for points in the interior as long ago as last August, and the wheat has not yet been shipped. The market moved up yesterday in keep ing with the bulge in the East. Ten thous and bushels of May blues tern were sold at the Merchants' Exchange at J1.78. For luh of all deliveries 1L70 was offered. Bids were received from the East for bulk bluestem at country points at a price equal - to S1.81 sack cost basis. . Oats were strong. A sale of 000 tons. April delivery, at (40 was posted at the Exchange. In the open market oats were old at $41 for California shipment. South ern buyers are also inquiring for wheat and might operate extensively here If tonnage were available. The flour market was firm and a further advance in wheat will probably bring out a higher- list. Three hundred tons of May shorts were sold at the Exchange at S32.S0. - Dealers have advanced whole and cracked eorn SI a ton. The Liverpool grain cable said: "Wheat, firm, demand fair, arrivals mod erate. Continent absorbing export off era Corn, strong. Argentine advices continue vmavoraDie. oats, very xirm. In ere is no doubt fair demand will continue, for Amer ican grain during the entire season. All advices military operations favor allies. "France Weather clear and warm. Crop prospects have Improved. "Argentina Weather clear and warm. Damage repot ts from corn continue. Hold ers of all grain nervous. Estimated ship ments this week: Wheat. 1.665.000 bushels; corn, 620.000 bushels; oats, 78.000 bushels."

The unfavorable weather of the past week has prevented goat shearing In part of tne alley where the work was about to begin. Only a few odd lots have reached this market and they are reported to have b. ught B0 to 60 cents. At Boston prices are quoted higher, but are more or less nominal as there is little spot hair avail able. The Commercial Bulletin says of the situation In the East: . "Business has been of limited proportions .'again, although a little Cape first hair has . been sold at close to 65 cents. Domestic hair is practically out of stock and is quot ed on a very high basis, .although any quo tation la hardly more than nominal Amer ica has latterly been buying at the Cane on the basis of 40 to 42 cents tor firsts and 83 cents for Basutos, while kids' have been taken at 43 to 62 or 63 cents. "In Yorkshire the situation Is described as of a hand-to-mouth nature, hardly any business of moment being done and spin ners handicapped in the acceptance of busi ness more or less by the government's de mands upon machinery for other purposes. "There has been a firm call for alpaca In Liverpool according to latest mail ad vices, seconds having realized 40 cents."

Other specialties and utilities shaded on small offerings and mstals, shippings and minor rails were lower by 1 to 2 points. Motor and leather Issues were early fea tures of marked strength, but declined abruptly in the last hair hour, with sugars and some of the secondary equipment and supply issues, including petroleums. General news embraced an analysis of February imports . snd exports, the latter Item aggregating $467,683,406. an Increase of almost $66,000,000 over the same month of 1916.

CROOK RECALL ON AGAIN COUNTY JUDGE RECONSIDERS PROM ISED RESIGNATION. Commissioners Accnsed of Acting as Road Foremen and Checking Their Own Expenses. PRINEVILLE, Or., March 29. (Spe cial.) Plans for the recall election of the County Judge and one Commis sioner of Crook County are rapidly tak ing shape. For the past month there has been a great deal of discussion about the subject and several weeks ago the movement became so strong that County Judge Springer agreed to resign, but reconsidered his action. The recall movement will be directed against G. Springer. County Judge, and F. F. Blanchard. County Commissioner. A committee consisting of B. F. John son. S. S Stearns, M. G. Cornett. S. W. Yancey and J. W. Stanton was appoint ed some time ago by the County Judge himself to name a successor for his office and he agreed to their selec tion, but later on, through the influ ence of certain interests, he believed he could defeat a recall if started and repudiated the committee and its se lection. It is asserted that the road money has been expended improperly and that little judgment has been used in where it has been spent. Too much money has been used for the building of steel bridges, which were erected by the Coast Bridge Company, and little has been leff to fill up mud holes or to cut down grades. The County Com missioners are accused of acting as road foremen at salaries of $5 a day with expenses and mileage and the en tire checking of their own expendi tures. Hygiene Workers to Meet.
