IXOUB MARKET IS 40 CENTS HIGHER "Trices Respond to Upward Course af Wheat Grain Quirt, Tha upward course that the wheat mar ket has lately displayed and the scarcity of supplies In the Northwest have caused millers to advance flour prices again. Tha rlsa amounts to 40 cents a barrel and puts tha market for patents once mora on tht $12 basis. Mlllfeed continues easy with a lighter demand. Wheat was firm yesterday. Bids at tha Merchants' Exchange were tha same as on Wednesday, but at Seattle sales were made at an advance of 2 cents. There was very little selling In the country. The Liverpool grain cable said: "General situation in wheat unchanged. Arrivals continue liberal, stocks increasing, also ex port offers. Corn, firm; general spot offers and limited export offers; stocks light, ab sorption light. Oats easier with adequate arrivals.. Australia, reserves from 1916 crop placed at 160,000,000 bushels. Clearance far in excess of amount published. New crop prospects fair." Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported by tha Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay Portland, Thurs. 13 1 1 4 2 Tear ago 13 Reason to date.. 6.3fl4 Year ago 10,352 Tacoma, Wed.. 1 Year ago n P'nion to date.. 7,191 Year ago 7.0S7 Feattlo, Wed 11 Year ago Reason to date.. 0.399 Year ago 7,893 1 275 1519 R 22S2 1U74 2 "sis 419 7 1230 1110 1 J42 1866 2.-;33 2791 7 1 132 623 1 'ski 1346 2AS2 2278 10 1708 2049 3963 42U3 INTEREST IX MOHAIR IS SMALL Buyers Making Little Effort to Brrnrn Tie. mninder of Clio Interest in iud inonair marKei nere is mall, as the larger part of the clip has been disposed of. The price holds steady at 60 cents, which figure the larger buyers have been offering for soma time. In Texas a minor sale Is reported at Uvalde. where the price is reported to have been 63 cents. The East Is quiet. Reporting on the foreign situation the Boston Commercial Bulletin says "Advices from Bradford Indicate a revival of Interest since the revocation of the army order which prohibited trading In mohair. etc. However, the market has not started up with any boom, and Bradford has as yet only bought sparingly of the offerings at the Cape. The situation at tha Cape has . resolved almost wholly around American buyers. Bradford has taken a little hair but not enough to talk about- Americans paid 43 cents for super firsts and 34 cents for Basuto hair In Port Elizabeth. "Alpaca is moving steadily In Liverpool, according to latest advices, and prices are . naturally very firm.

A block of 6700 bales of 1915 hops, eon' trolled by the Oregon Hop Growers' Asso ciation, has been sold at prices averaging (6 a bale. A. J. Ray & Bona took 4000 bales of the lot, and 2700 bales were bought by George Lewis. The hops were bought for Eastern account and It is believed the purchases were of a speculative charaoter. as there Is but little demand from consum ers now for hops, either old or new. Charles M. Metzler, of Tacoma, who was In the city yesterday, la about tha only dealer who takes a bullish view of tha fu ture of the hop market. "According to the present outlook." said he, "the United State will not raise any more hops thl year than it need. I have been through Oregon and I don't believe the state, with half its acre age plowed up, will produce over 40,000 bales. Washington win have only about IB.0O0 bales, as 1200 acres have been taken out there. In both states tha crop 1 very 'I backward. California ha not reduced her acreage as much a the northern states. but. according to my advice from there. there la not likely to be over 80,000 bales." WOOL MAT BE AT TOP PRICE Prominent Idaho Grower Think High Level Ha Been Reached. LEWISTON. Idaho. June T. (Special.) Htepnen nepton. one or the largest flock- masters in the Pacific Northwest, says: Idaho wool has gone beyond even the most optimistic expectations of the sheep men of this state. It baa passed tha 00-oont mark. Even 60-Cent wool la predicted by . some of the sheepmen. The most conserv ative, however, believe that the hlgh-ttda price has been reached and that It will not go much higher. Neither do they expect to ee any material decline while the present war la In progress. While they do not look for a rise, they are inclined to the belief P"ce. are more naeiy to aavance man mer are to ueci.ne. 1 ne average price last year for wool waa 25 cent a pound.

MimOHDEMnNDSTRDNB CORN BOOM HALTS Improved Field Conditions Ease Down Values. COUNTRY OFFERINGS LARGE Wheat Is Firmer Because, of Belief That Government Crop Report Today Will Bo Bullish. Oats Weak at Close. CHICAGO. June T. Notwithstanding that the corn market continued to (.how remark able activity toda, sensational advances in I price received a decided check. Prospects of warmer weather ana or. consequently better fild conditions for the growing crop did a good deal to aase down values. The r-lose was heavy at the same as yesterday s finish to S cents lower, with July at (1.53H to 11.63 "4 and September at (1.42V to (1.43, , , . . , j , . , M- to lo advance, with July at (2.2274 and September at (1.95. Oata loat 74 c to 174 c. The outcome in provisions ranged from 6c off to a rise of T74 cents. General commlseion-hous buying and rel ative lightness of offerings mads the corn market bulge at the outset, but soon tha feeling spread that the advance which be gan yesterday had been so extraordinary that a bait waa needed for at least the time being. The result wo that trader turned to the selling aide. Profit-taking by shorts led anbaequently to a fresh upturn, but the effect failed to last. Bulls were handicapped by numerous reports that country -offerings of corn had become enlarged overnight to a material ex tent and that shipper and industries had made liberal purchases to arrive. Talk of chances that the Government crop report tomorrow would prove bullish counted against the buying side of the wheat market. General expectation was that the Winter crop yield would be estimated at about 3S0.000.0O0 bushels. Oata sagged owing largely to prediction. that the Government report tomorrow would be bearish.
