VOLUME OF TRADE FAIR Medium Grades Attract More Atten tion Than Other Classes Fall Mohair Season Opens in Texas With Absence ot Buyers, Medium wools continue to attract most attention In Eastern markets, where trade on the whole is classed as only fair. Among the transfers at Boston, Just reported by mail, were lots of three-eighths territory at 6S to T2 cents, the scoured value being around $1.45. The transfer is noted of SOO.OOO pounds fine and half-blood terri tory wool at $1.65 clean, though choice staple wool of these grades would command $1.70 or more. Another house reports trans fers of about $300,000 pounds of various territory grades at private terms. Domestic quarter-bloods are quiet, the disposition of most manufacturers being to proceed slow ly in adding to their stocks, already large, in view of uncertainty as to what may de velop as a result of the coming auction of Australian wool. This hesitancy. If such It may be called, applies to the whole mar Vet, though no medium wools are Included in the first arrivals In this country. Com menting on the Government's attitude to ward the market, the Transcript says: "The menace of Government interference is constantly acting to check the slightest tendency towards speculation. Both wool men and manufacturers are anxious to avoid anything that may furnish an excuse for official action. The trade Is being congrat ulated on the success already attained. Un due enchancement of values at this time would have an injurious effect and might lead to serious losses later. The neces sity, too, of buying the new South Ameri can clip on a reasonable basis is keenly felt. This desirable end can be attained only If the big houses stand together In disapproval of seculatlve buying." Very little has been done by Eastern buy or s In the new California Kail wools. Most of the buying In that field to date has been done by local buyers, at 45 to SO cents for the best wools. The Texas sea son for F"all wool was to have opened yes terday with the first sealed bid sale at Kerrvllle. New mohair Is said to be ac cumulating In Texas, as buyers are not will ing to pay the prices demanded. Pcoured values of territory wools at Bos ton show little change, being approximately 1.fi0 to $1.82 for fine staple, $1.70 to $1.75 for half-blood staple. $1.45 to $1.50 for three-efghths-blood staple. $1.25 to $1.35 for quarter-blood staple, $1.05 to $1.70 for fine nothing, $1.55 to $1.fiO fnr fine medium clothing. $1.65 to $1.75 for 12-months Texas and $1.55 to $1.flO for ft-months Texas.

Anticipated. ROSEBURG, Or., Nov. 20. (Special.) There is quite a flurry in the turkey mar ket in Douglas County owing to the state ment from San Francisco wholesale houses that the price for this year's product will be fixed at 35 cents to the retail trade, ac cording to announcement made In this city ty one of the largest shippers of turkeys. Last year's retail price was close to 40 cents, with feed about half as cheap as It can now be purchased, and turkey pro ducers here feel that any action of this kind will obliterate the profit ou this year's crop. After the expense of shipping is met a fixed price of 35 cents retail would only leave the farmer about 25 cents net. The matter has been taken up with W. K. Newell, assistant Federal food administra tor for Oregon, as well as the wholesale houses of San Francisco. Mr. Newell has stated that no fixed price has been set at Portland, but the matter is being ronsld- TURKEYS Huoh all fancy dressed turkeys you have for sale.

MOVEMENT OF BUTTER IS SLOW Only Small Lots of Country Creamery Are Changing Hands. The butter market was steady yesterday, but there was no Improvement in the de mand for country creamery cubes. For small lots 43 cents was obtainable, but to move larger quantities this price would have 'to be shaded. The egg movement was light and prices were unchanged. 'AH kinds of live poultry were firm except turkeys. Receipts of live turkeys have been larger for several days, but there Is lit tle demand for them. Choice dressed tur keys continue to move at 30 cents. Dressed meats were steady. Local Fruit Trade Is Slower. The demand in the fruit and vegetable market has been backward for several days. Apple stocks are Increasing, but buyers are looking only for the cheaper grades. A car of casabas was received yesterday. Bank Clearings.

NEW TORK, Nov. 20. The decision of the railway executives to place their in terests with the Government in the event of further labor difficulties and the more encouraging reports from abroad acted as a further stimulation to quoted values in the Btouk market today. Gross gams of 2 to almost 5 points In leading issues were well sustained, despite intermittent realizing for profits. Shippings and standard equipments were the chief elements of strength with coppt-rs and kindred stocks. During tiie morning and in the last hour trading was more active and broader than at any time since the adoption of re strictive measures by the Stock Exchange. Much of today's advance was made at tne expense of the long existent short interest. United States Steel, recently in the bacK- grcund, furnished most of today's impulse, with an advance to 7 Va ; the highest since the early part of the month, other steels. otably Betnlehem.
