THE MOTIVING OTIEGOXTAX,
"WEDNESDAY. ' 18, 1917. 21, 1917.
WOOL PRICES EVEN
No Tendency Toward Specula
tion in Domestic Market.
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.

DOUGLAS TURKEY GROWERS ANXIOUS
Profits May Not Re ns Largo as
. 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-

ered and, while the Government cannot go
further than to advise what would be a
fair price for the 1917 turkey output, it Is
hs orinion that the price will be close to
35 cents.
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. '

Encouraging Reports From Abroad

Stimulate Buying Bonds Ex
hibit Distinct Improvement.
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. Crucible and Lacka
wanna, as well as Republic iron ana Colo
rado Fuel, gamed 1 & to 3 points. Oils,
motors, sugars and secondary equipments
contributed to the net gains, together with
war, specialties, in which pool activity was
revived.
Rails were held back until the last hour
by occasional heaviness in Canadian Pacific,
Union Pacinc and Delaware & Hudson, out
tended higher as a group low grade or
reorganized shares reflecting a fair inquiry.
Sales amounted to 705, 0o0 shares.
Most call loans were again made at 0
per cent and time accommodations hard
er ed for the longer dates.
Foreign exchange was unaltered, except
for the new low rate of 8.75 for lire.
Distinct improvement was shown by all

from 97 to !7.oOcF with greater activity In

Department Rutins Against Carry
ing Letters to Destination.
PAN' FRAXCTPCO. Nov. 20. (Specinl.')
Where attempts are made to avoid
payment of the 1-cent war tax on let
ters and postal cards, the tax may be
collected from the persnVis to whom the
mail is addressed, under a ruling re
ceived yesterday from Washington. The
ruling was asked after discovery that
San Francisco firma dcslrinsr to mall a
quantity of letters in tJr.ltland would
send the mall ly messenprer across the
bay and mail the letters as a result for
2 cents.
The department rules that where per
sons cr concern- or any city or piace
send letters In bulk for n-.allind for
local delivery at a postoffice at another
city or place, such are not drop letters
and are not entitled to drop-letter
rates, and must '.-e charp d the rate or
3 cents.
