SUGAR ONE PRICE
No Fluctuations in Market
After October 1.
GOVERNMENT CONTRACTOR
bobbins Quotation Here Vill Prob
ably Be $8 Per Sack, or About
Present Price -Beet Fac
tories Make Agreement.
TThen the Government take over control
f the sugar market on October 1 a jobbing
price of $ 8 a hundred on cane- granulated
will probably prevail in thi market. This
price, or whatever is finally settled upon,
ill remain in force throughout the present
crop year. A stationary price will put an
nd to all speculation by jobbers or retailors
and will be of advantage to consumers. The
new price; will be close to that now quoted.
A refinery price of 7. at Kan Frane-lsi-e
b-a h been agreed upon and this, with the
freight, insurance, jobbers profit, etc.. will
Hi'an close to an $8 market for sugar here at
wholesale. Tht-re art soma matters yet to
be cleared sip, however, beore the trade- will
know definitely what sugar will be worth.
The connumption tax clause inserted in the
revenue bill by the Houxo was stricken out
by the Senate, but may be pot back by the
conferees who now have the bill In hand.
The beet sugar producers yesterday closed
n agreement with the food administration
to sell at J 7. 2-", at seaboard points. This
would do away with the 20-cent differen
tial against beet sugar which has hereto
fore prevailed and would put both classes of
sugar on the same bawls. The new beet
sugar price will be effective In California
on October 1. The beet sugar refinery at
O rants Pars expects to bcrln marketing Its
sugar about October 1 The output of the
factory will be much larger than last year's.

MOHAIR
MARKET
13
STAGNANT
Practically
No Demand on Coast ar at
East era Points.
There Is stilt a fair quantity of mohair re
maining in Oregon, some of It in dealers'
bands, but there is practically no demand
and the market is very dull. Of the situa
tion at Boston and abroad the Commercial
Uulletin says:
"The demand for mohair in tha local mar
ket continues practically if not quite stag
nant, and prices, in consequence, are ex
tremely difficult to quote. Just what a firm
offer might be able to accomplish In the
purchase of the staple It Is next to impossi
ble to say.
"Advices from Yorkshire Indicate a sim
ilar situation obtaining there. Spinners are
occupied comparatively little It seems on mo
hair yarns and the staple Is moving only
slowly, althongh prices are fairly ateady. At
the Cape no change appears to have oc
curred, stocks being moderate and prices
ateady.
"Alpaca continues to move steadily In Liv
erpool and at fully firm rates. Some Are-
quippa fleece Is reported to have been bought
for this market on the West Coast at clt
to 70 cents landed."

WESTERN" WASHINGTON HOPS SELLING
Growers Receive S5 and Cents for
New Crop.
There has been a more liberal movement In
Western Washington hops In the past few
days, the new crop selling at 35 H and 38
cents. The same prices are current In this
state, but there la no selling. It is esti
mated there are net ever 20O0 bales of lOlT
Oregon hops that are free, and the selling
season is, therefore, going to be a limited
on.
Hopplcklng is about over here and the
Oregon crop will not go over 30.000 bales.
Some well-posted dealers doubt whether it
will reach L'5.0OO bales. There is consider-
bie talk by growers of Increasing their
acreage.
First Oregou Cranberries.
The first box of cranberries to be de
Ivered in the Northwest was received yes
terday at the Multnomah Hotel as a gift
from W. K. Schimpf, of Astoria, The berries
are not only the first produced in the coun
try, but also are Oregon berries, grown just
south of Astoria. As this Is an unusually
late season for cranberries and there Is con
siderable difficulty in securing help to pick
the fruit owing to the war. the first crate of
the season is highly prized by the Mult
nomah. Poultry Market Good.
There was a good demand for poultry yes
terday, with hens selling at IS lft cents
and Springs at 2021 cents. Dressed meat
prices were about steady.
Butter and eggs were unchanged. The
movement In both lines was slow.

WINTER FEEDING WILL BE PROBLEM
Sbartaga ef Hay Expeeted In Camas and

LEWISTOX. Idaho, fept. 20. 'Special.)
Winter feed for livestock throughout this
part of the country Is coin to be a very
serious problem this year. There is a great
shortage of hay. ."The Camas and Nz 1'erce
prairies have invariably Dt-en hay-producing
points, havlns; a goodly tonnage to ship to
tbe Coast markets, but last year we shipped
hay into this country because of the short
age and this year there Is even a greater
snorts ge." says W. J. Jordan, traffic agent
of the Nort tvern Pacific Railway at Uwls
ton. "Feeders of stock who are not for
tunate in having their own bay or arranged
for a supply will undoubtedly dispose of
their stock. There has not been a great
deal of grain cut for hay for the reason
that the straw was too short, and such
straw as is left after threshing is too short
this year to be of any great value."
Mr. Jordan says there has been ne great
preparation for increased acreage for the
reason that we have had so little rain that
the ground Is not in proper condition to do
Fail plowing.

Favorable Conclusions Drawn From

Steel and Government Action
Toward Price-Fixing.
NEW YORK. Sept. 20. After a period of
uncertainty, with narrow and Irregular
movements, tha stock market gained
strength today and began a deliberate but
well-maintained advance. Karly decides
were made up and net gains of moderate
proportions wore established In active stocks,
with occasional rises of 2 points or more.
Total sales were 820. OOO shares.
Except In the last hour the market
showed less buoyancy than during yester
day's upturn, which failed to attract any
large outside following to the long side. The
comparatively small volume of orders on
hand at the opening led to a temporary re
newal of selling operations, but the demand
which was uncovered wherever prices were
forced down caused th bears to reverse
the r tactics and Join In the bidding for
stocks.
Individual Issues were favored by develop
ments of the day. but there were no new
factors of general enough application to or -fer
an obvious explanation of the movement.
A good deal of attention was paid to re

ainty as to price regulations at least so xar
