IDAHO WOOL GOMES
Portland District Is Extended
to Pocatello.
ORDER FROM PENWELL
Mills ot Xorthwest Are Provided For
In New Federal Ruling Cover
ing Tliree-Elghths and
Quarter-Blood Wools.
John H. Bursard, Federal Wool Admin
istrator at Portland, yesterday received a
confirmation from Lewis Penwell, chief of
the wool division of the War Industries
Board, of the report that Idaho wools of
three-eighths and quarter blood, as well as
Oregon and Washington wools, would come
to Portland for distribution. The telegram
from M Penwell follows:
"After consultation with the Quartermaster-General's
Department, the wool di
vision of the War Industries Board strongly
recommended that all clips in Oregon,
Washington and Idaho as far East and in
cluding Pocatello, running largely to three
eighths and lower, go to Portland to supply
the needs of the Northwestern mills to fill
Government contracts."
This definitely settles the question of
Jurisdiction of the Portland office over
Northwestern wools and should provide the
mills of this section with a sufficient sup
ply to cover the Government requirements.
New wool Is coming in at a rapid rate, and
; as soon as the full appraisal committee Is
named. the grading of 1018 wools In Port
'' land warehouses will begin. Two members
of this committee already named are Charles
II. Green, Assistant Wool Administrator
here, and Harry Wagner, of The Dalles.
Two more wool men are to be selected.
In the meantime, Mr. Green, who has
charge of the distribution of wool to mills
for the Quartermaster Department, has al
lotted ISO, 000 pounds of the 191 T clip, which
had already been appraised.

NORTHWESTERN FRUIT MEN PROTEST
Proposed Increase In Freight Rates Will
Work Hardship on Them.
WASHINGTON, June 13. Northwestern
fruitgrowers protested through Senator Poln
dexter, of Washington, today against the
Railroad Administration's proposed increase
of 25 per cent in freight rates. The ad
vance, they claimed, will prove discrim
Inatory and will work a hardship upon
them. Senator Polndexter presented a tele
gram from the Northwestern Fruit Ex
change saying that if the advance goes into
effect it will cost the Western growers 40
cents a barrel to transport apples to the
principal Eastern markets, while Eastern
growers will pay only from 7 to 10 cents.

Liberal Receipts Tend Also to Give

Fall to Hold-Oats Weak, With
Lack of Export Demand.
CHICAGO. June 13. Ideal weather for
the growing crops favored tha bears today
In the corn market. Despite some sharp
bulges In the last half ot tho aesslon the
market closed heavy, lo to lc lower, with
July 1.43 to 11.43. and August (1.43.
Tho fact that receipts were still of liberal
volume tended also to give Impetus to sell
ing. Under general bear pressure from
commission houses, the market averaged
decidedly lower In tho first two hours, but
then made an upward shoot, the effect of
which was not exhausted until near the
finish of tho day. Covering by shorts
seemed to be chiefly responsible for the
transient advance.
Absence of demand from exporters did
much to pull down tho value of oata.
Provisions reflected tho general weakness
of grain and hoga.
