Another week of suspense hex been the
lot of the wool trade of the country. Thurs
day. tbe Bostoa wool trade acted on the re
port of the special committee, which bad
conferred with tbe war Industries board, and
in wblca It was announced that tbe Gov
eminent would receive the voluntary offer
of tbe trade to turn over all of Ita wool at
July 30 prteea. In IKu of which offer the
wool would be commandeered. Obviously
there was only one thing for tbe wool trade
to do.
Tbe wool growers have offered all of the
new ISIS clip to the Government at July SO
prices. Tbe new cup. however, will be han
dled tbrouga tbe usual channels with a mod'
.rate commission to dealers.
'Manufacturers of civilian goods will have

rntnt Tbe civilian trade will, under the new
order of things, get what Is left snd that

the 8tock Exchange today were restricted to
the two hours of Lhe mornlna. In that brief
period, however, the market again mani
fested firm to strong fundamental condi
tions, although activity and strength cen-
cnieiiy in speculative issues.
Low-priced specialties, hitherto neglected.
were taken up by pools at gains of 1 to J
points. Keprosentauve Industrials and rails
moved only moderately, although United
States Steel and Reading scored extreme
gains of a point. Sales amounted to lOU.OlM)
snares.
General market develooments embraced
another sharp break In Italian exchange, lire
approaching their low record at o-lfti.
The February statement of tbe Baltimore
at Ohio Railroad, showing; another large
deficit In net returns, was among; the fea
ture of general Interest.
Bonds were active but wlthant marked
change, all tha liberty group stiffening.
Tula! sales, par value, aggregated $o,4oO,KH.

Expected reduction of corn acreage was
ascribed largely to the continued cold and

withstanding comparative weakness of oats.
The outlook for oats seemed to be for the

adopted yesterday by G. H. Beurhaus,
proprietor of the Pacific Beverage

been supplying the soldiers at the can

Before starting for Portland he
armed himself with a letter from
Federal official at Seattle, asserting
that he is under $2000 bonds in Wash
ington for a general permit to pur
chase alcohol in that state, and he was
informed by the Tacoma and Seattle
officials that this bond and permit
would be accepted in the state of Ore'

But the "pop" manufacturer did not

and he arrived at the District Attor

was in vain.
Under the Oregon laws he must post

of Oregon.
