NATION'S GAIN 3 PER CENT Output of Cnited States Tbls Year Estimated by Government at 2 4 5,573,000 Pounds. Price Average High. The wool clip of the United State has In creased slightly in the past year, accord ing to preliminary estimates that have Just been made by the United States bureau of crop estimates. The total Is given as 245. 673.000 pounds, which Is 683.000 pounds snore than the estimated production in 1916. This estimate does not include pulled wool, which amounted to about 43,000.000 pounds last year. The figures given for the Facifle Coast Indicate but little change in output, the Oregon production being estimated the nma as a year ago. although wool men tiere assert the clip this year was consid erably smaller. The Idaho figures are also the same as last year, but Washington and California axe each given a 5 per cent In crease. The average price ef wool to producers m August 15 was about 54.8 cents per round, compared with 29 cents on August 33. 4 1910.

Operators In the wheat market are wait ing for a decision from Washington on the price question. In the meantime there Is some selling by farmers and most of the mills appear to be getting all the wheat they require at this time. Flour prices are also dependent on ac tion, by the Washington authorities. If the Northwestern wheat basis la raised flour and mlllfeed prices are also likely to go up. The 90,000 barrels of Austra lian flour that has just reached San Fran elsco Is likely to be reshlpped to Europe, as was the case with the Argentine corn that not long ago arrived at New York. The coarse grains were about steady. Ar gentine shipments for the week were 175, OO bushels of wheat to non-Europe coun tries, 89.000 bushels to the Continent and none to the United Kingdom. Bradstreets reports exports from North America this week of 5.541.000 bushels of wheat and SS9.OO0 bushels of corn.

Possible receipts of wool from Australia at any time, the confirmation of advices to the effect that the growers In South Africa nave acted agralnst the proposition of the ale of their entire clip to the British Gov ernment, the coming of Information saying that the foreign sheep countries have en larged and Improved production and other developments tend to keep the eyes of the trade fastened on events outside of the United States, say reports received from Bos ton. This Is the more so because the ele ment which has held such sway over the situation for many weeks, vix., the Govern ment operations. Is no longer a source of ex. cttement. though none the less Important. It has reached the stage where routine pre. Tails and no great surprises are expected by the trade under the circumstances. Altogether the trade Is In a new frame of mind toward the possibility of wool ar riving from the Commonwealth, though 45, 000 bales would have little effect upon the market except to set a new standard of conditions between this country and the British officials in control of the colonial and English clips. The wonted scepticism regarding any wool coming from Australia now Is lacking because of the return from England of Mr. Patterson and the simul taneous publication of facts In connection with the negotiations In which he has been involved concerning the shipments in ques tion. It Is stated that samples were ex amined tn London by the American repre sentatives and the selection made of the aorta to coma.

Fixing REACTION IS OVERCOME Liberty Bonds in Active Demand and Sell at Premium for the First Time in Months In vestment Issues Heavy. NEW TORK. Sept. 21. Following the lead of copper shares, which were stimulated by the announcement that a price of 23 H was agreed upon, the market gave the best ex hibition of strength since the turn came on Wednesday. A reaction came quickly, how ever, and the market was depressed below yesterday's last figures. Toward the close, renewed strength appeared and the ad vance was resumed energetically. Total sales were 665.0OO shares. The price fixed for copper was regarded as satisfactory, not only because It put an end to fears of a severe scaling down In the quotation, but because of the favorable Inferences which might be drawn In regard to the settlement of pending questions. The coppers developed pronounced strength on the late upturn, with a gain of 3i for smelting. Steel shares also were active and strong. There were a few weak spots among the industrials. Including mo tors and sine shares. Railroads, as here tofore, were neglected. Canadian Pacific was heavy. There was an unusually active demand for Liberty bonds, which sold at premium for the first time in months. The range was 99.98 to 100.02. The general bond mar ket was heavy, with further weakness In investment Issues. Total sales, par value. $5,500,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.

GAIN IX BUSINESS NOT UNIFORM Uncertainty Rather Than Lack of Confidence Is Cause, NEW YORK. Sept. 21. Dun's Review to morrow will say: The gain In business with the advancing season is not yet general or unuorm, and rather less of it is seen In the East than at other points. Where none at all appears, or where there Is some actual cession, it is plainly due more to uncertainty than to lack of confidence In the future. At bottom, business in various branches has hesitated because the outlook is more less clouded and the tendency to act with caution in anticipating forward wants grows in many quarters; but while the present pot icy of conservative purchasing and more largely for immediate and certain needs con trasts sharply witn last year's rusn to con tract far ahead ati almost any figure, and is disappointing to some Interests, it is one which clearly makes for more wholesome conditions and more staple progress. The inevitable reaction from the extreme prices reached during the item of unpre cedented demands has already gone some distance and In certain of the chief ma terials of industry the readjustments have In some cases brought with them signs of re viving activity, though not a few buyers still hold off for further concessions cy sell ers.

As for the goods market there seems to be some Im provement on civilian account, while Gov eminent orders are- occupying more and more machinery.

Industrial Notes A PERMANENT business Institution Morrow County and Heppner, the Farmers' Union seems to cut some figrure. Not content with owning their own warehouse, the union last Spring decided to build an elevator. They called a meet ing of members, subscribed the necessary capital, let the contract and the elevator is now an established Institution. But the farmers were not satisfied with growing and hauling and elevating and marketing their own wheat, so some time go they decided to Install a flouring mill. There wasn't any fuss made about it, they simply raised the money and bought a mill, which will be in operation by December 1. The mill is known as the American Marvel Flour Mill, will have a dally capacity of 50 barrels, and is guaranteed to make a grade of flour the equal of the best flour on earth. The mill will be Installed In the warehouse building, and the wheat supply will come from the adjacent elevator by gravity. It will do both custom and mer chant work, and the Heppner Herald says ts expected it will be operated con tinuously. Condras and Hemphllls will construct con crete dams on their creek ranches below Pilot Rock to divert water for irrigating. The city of Gold Hill. Or., has purchased the McClure power site, water right and ditches for power purposes in ooeratlns the city water plant, ine franchise with the I local power plant for operating the city water system expires next year, and the ! city contemplates installing an entire new municipal plant. Bonds in the sum of $25.- 000 were voted at a regular election three years ago for that purpose. The new pur chase is an old water right that has been used for a number of years in operating ten-stamp quartz mill opposite the city on Rogue River. The water Is taken from the river three miles above Gold Hill, and is conducted in an open ditch to the power site with a 25-foot drop to the river. Ash land Tidings. A ton and a half of powder, placed In a tunnel 110 feet long by 4 feet square, just large enough for the driller to sit in, was exploded two miles down Thirtymile Can yon on Monday, and displaced 8000 yards of rock. This rock will be used for macad amizing nine and a half miles of road In Thirtymile Canyon on the Fossil road. The Condon Times says Sydney Smith, the en gineer. Is now in Portland to engage ex perienced men to do the rock spreading. Residents of Gilliam and Wheeler counties hope the State Highway Commission will hard surface the road when the new foun dation is completed. Payette County. Idaho, which was cre ated from part of Canyon County by the last legislature, has agreed to S47.77u.b0 as its portion of the county debt, and also a pro portion of the county debts up to July l. To meet the debt the new county will issue warrants bearing 7 per cent interest. Between 5,000,000 and 6,000,000 pounds of prunes is the estimate of Douglas Countjrs present crop as made by a prominent buyer. The major portion of the crop is going to W. F. Drager & Co., of Salem, which has packing plants both at Roseburg and Myrtle Creek. The other buying concerns are H. S. Gile & Co., of Salem, which also has a plant in Roseburg, and the J. K. Armsby Company, of California. It is the belief that the lat ter concern will next year become a more active, competitor by erecting a plant in Roseburg, says the Review. Wharf and docks for the new sawmill at Reed sport are now building. The mill will be ready to operate In two months, but the full dally capacity of 50,000 feet will not be used much oerore J anuary l, says tne Marshfield Times. G. S. Mathewson is now assembling machinery and will soon have big supply of logs ready for the mill. The camp will be located In some of the best spruce owned Dy warren nea and Walter McKay. The object of the mill owners Is to participate in tne furnishing of spruce lumber for airplane stock, and also to saw whatever fir is found in the districts where the camps will be operated. The greatest sale of purebred livestock ever held in the Western country is expected November 12, 13 and 14 in connection with the annual Northwest Livestock Show In Lewlston, Idaho. The highest standard show In the history of the association and the largest attendance yet recorded is pre dicted. Lewlston Tribune. m The first state fair in the history of Idaho will open at Boise September 24 to 29, inclusive, and elaborate preparations are being made for the entertainment of a record crowd. The last Legislature made a substantial appropriation for the fair, ar ranging it 'under the auspices of a state board of agriculture. There are $25,000 hung up In premiums and many thousands of dol lars for purses at the races. DAILY CITY STATISTICS Births. SCHLOTH To Mr. and Mrs. Alfred H. Schloth. 20 East Fifty-third street.
