ation, although . here, too, the situation
seems to have been more or leas at a stand
still. Borne consignments are reported to
have been made In a small way from Texas.
"The situation In Yorkshire la moder
ately active so far as mohair Is concerned.
The spinners, however, cannot undertake
very much work and so are not keen buy
ers of the raw material. At the Cape
'America appears still to be the buyer most
Interested and la taking further stocks at
about 42 43 cents for Summer firsts.
"Alpaca at Liverpool is in steady re--cuest.
Arequlppa fleeces are held at very
firm rates. Supplies are said to be coming
forward from overseas more freely. Stocks
of alpaca in Liverpool on May 1 were 1263
bales Arequlppa fleece; 28 bales Tacna
fleece; 131 bales Calleo fleece, and 105 bales
of Inferiors."

Two 300-Pounders Find They
Cannot Sleep in One Bed.
Landlady la Awakened by Ranchers,
W ho Demand Separate Beds While
Attending; Court Session.
TJOSEBTJRG, Or, May 81. (Special.)
X "Preparedness" on the part of
the landlady of a local lodging-house
and a strict adherence to the rules of
"safety first" by the overweight prin
ciples combined to solve a perplexing
and unexpected problem which con
fronted Joe Harris, of Myrtle Creek,
and William Brlejgs. of Canyonvllle,
who arrived here Monday for jury serv
ice.
Having a dislike for hotels, the men
cast about the residential district for
accommodations following their arrival
here and after some bickering leased a
furnished apartment until such time as
they are excused by the court. When
the time for retirement arrived last
nlgbt the men were confronted with
the lmpossslble undertaking of sleep
ing in one bed. "It can't be done,'
said Harris to Briggs, as they chuckled
in amusement. A discussion of possi
bilities followed and the landlady was
finally summoned. Being men of con
slderable prominence in Douglas Coun
ty, the men apologized for disturbing
the proprietress of the house and af
terward informed her that the bed was
not of sufficient dimensions to meet
requirements.
The thought then struck the land
lady that "two beds were better than
one," and the problem was solved. The
two beds were placed side by Bide and
the "heavyweights ' were soon - in
dreamland. Mr. Harris and Mr. Briggs
are among the heaviest men in Doug
las County; each tipping -the scales at
about 300 pounds. They are ranchers
and are quite wealthy.

NEW TORE. May 81. Favorable hap
penings over the holiday, especially the in
creased popularity of the liberty loan and
the remarkable April statement of the

todays further rise of prices. Much of the

A similar course was pursued by other
steel shares. Including the great bulk of
equipments and munitions. Only a few of
these issued retained any part of their
advantage, some finishing at net losses.
Steel sells minus its regular and extra div
idends of 4 per cent tomorrow and much
of its early rise was ascribed to short cover
ing to avoid the added provisions.
Among the other very active and tem
porarily strong stocks were the sugars at
gross gains of 3 to 9 points, tobaccos 2 to 4.

CITY COAL BILL IS HIGH
Dealers Aslc $18.20 a Ton for New
Tork Supply.
NEW TORK, May 23. The city Is
facing; a critical situation in reg-ard to
its coal supply for use in municipal
departments, and Mayor Mltchel and
representatives of a number of largo
coal companies conferred a few days
ago in City HalL The minimum price
which tha city must pay for its coal in
making new contracts is $13.20 a ton.
The maximum prlco quoted la $14.76
Moreover, coal dealers were unable to

tons, and tha city wants 185,000 tons
to carry it through tha next 12 or IS
months.
City officials made no, attempt to hide
their consternation when these figures,

tion as most alarming, . Mayor Mltchel
pointed out that if the city wera forced
to pay the price asked a deficit would
be created amounting to $3,000,000 over
and above the total budget appropria
tions for tha year 1917,

CROP REPORTS FINE
Harvest Area Rapidly Spread
ing Northward.
CHICAGO MARKET IS LOWER
Notable , Improvement In Winter
Wheat and Excellent Outlook,
for Spring Grain Oats
and Corn Also Decline.
CHICAGO. ' May 81. Optimistic crop re
ports and tha northward spread of the
harvest gave a decided down swing to the
wheat market today. Prices closed unset
tled. 8o to 9 cents net lower with July at
$1.94 and September at $1.80. Corn fin
ished cent to 3 cents off and oats at
a decline of 1 centa to 1 cents. In pro
visions, tha outcome ranged from a setback
of 17 cents to a rise of 25 cents.
All advices, both from Government and
private sources, showed notable Improve
ment of Winter wheat and an excellent out
look for the Spring crop. Assertions were
current that Texas and Oklahoma bare the
finest crops ever seen in those states, and it
was said harvesting would ba started near
Ardmore, Okla., tomorrow. Encouraging
messages also were at hand regarding
Kansas. As to Spring wheat, heavy reins
over the entire Northwest ware said to have
Insured big yields, conditions In the Dakataa
and Minnesota being represented as similar
to those of 1915. when tha result waa a
banner crop.
Hedging against purchases of new wheat
appeared to be responsible for at least some
of the selling. In this connection it waa
said that the or op was heading as far north
as Kansss, Missouri and Southern Indiana.
Corn fell sharply after an early bulge.
The break was associated with word from
the seaboard that a neutral government
was trying to resell 400,000 bushels of corn
now at Atlantic ports. Talk of too much
rain and too little warm weather had
much to do with- tha temporary initial
strength of the market.
Oats were governed chiefly by the action
of corn. Field advices were promising.
Irregularity characterized the provision
market. Pork and ribs received support on
account of higher quotations on hogs, but
lard was sold. Liverpool reported the lard
market there was weak, and the supply for
the present ample.
