THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JUNE 12, 1917. 17 WOOL PRICE RISING Buyers Fay 53 Cents for Fine Oregon Grade. COARSE BRINGS 55 CENTS Several Hundred Thousand Pounds Sold In .Past Week Up to 6 0 Cents Realized for Willam ette Valley Product. Wool la selling regularly In Eastern Ore goo, several hundred thousand pounds chang ing hands In the past week, but the volume of business Is not what might be expected In view of the very keen demand. Higher prices are being offered by buyers than a week ago. but sellers are also keep ing their Ideas well In advance of bid prices. They know they were Justified In refusing arly offers, and wlth the market steadily climbing they are not going to let go until they get what they think their wool Is worth. For fine wool up to 68 cents has been paid In Eastern Oregon, and coarse wool has been bought In the last few days at OS cents. As a rule the prices asked by sheepmen are about 5 cents over these quo tations. Friday. June IS, la the date set for the opening publlo sale at Heppner. The un settled weather has delayed shearing, how ever, and wool dealers believe the sale will have to be postponed for a week. Trading in the Willamette Valley Is con fined chiefly to country merchants and local speculators. In their competition they have pushed the price up rapidly, until 60 cents has been paid In a number of In stances. Wool dealers here regard this price as too high by at least 6 cents for Valley wool, and they are allowing' the In terior buyers to have the market to them selves. Eastern Washington Is now about cleaned np. with a 60-cent market established In the latest sales. The last large lot of Yak ima wool, the 80.000-pound clip of the Tak Ima Sheep Company, was sold at SO cents, and Is expected to be delivered to an Ore gon mill.

AND Unfavorable Bank Statement and Rlae In Call Money Rate Are Restraining Factor NEW YORK. June 11. Last week's se vere drain on local bank resources and the resultant rise in call money to 5 per cent were the restraining Influences of today's irregular and more narrow market. The shorts availed themselves of these develop ment to engage In a series of attacks which culminated In general heaviness In the later dealings. Another break In Russian exchange to the new minimum of 24 and a further absence of demand for Russian government bonds was Inexplicable to dealers In ex change In view of the Improved conditions reported from Petrograd. Almost the only stocks to show a degree of strength were the new and old Bethlehem Steel Issues, both of which registered new max 'mum a. The new shares made an ex treme gain of 5 points to 153 and the old advanced 6 points to 150. Only part of these advances were retained.. United States Steel s best quotation of the day was 132. closing at a net loss of 2 points.

Corn gained 5c, oats 13o and provisions 10 55c. Crop conditions appeared to be generally favorable and belief seemed widespread that the harvest yield would turn out much above the estimates contained In the Government report. After announcement was made, however, that the domestic visible supply had decreased 6,038,000 bushels in the last week, and was now 30,000.000 bushels less tban at the corresponding time a year ago. the market made a rapid ascent. Corn bulged after an early break. Stocks on band were reported as down to 851.000 bushels, as against 6,529,000 bushels a year ago. Export demand had a bullish effect on oats. It was said 800,000 bushels were taken by European interests. Provisions rallied on account of strength In corn. Lower quotatlona on hoga proved to be only a transient element of weak- nesa.
