Newspaper Page TextTHE 'MORNING OREGOXIAN, FHTDAT, JUNE 21, 1918. 19 JAPAN USES MOHAIR Orientals May Substitute It for Chinese Wools. LOCAL TRADE MORE ACTIVE Buyers Quoting 50 Cents on New Clip Indications of Eastern Orders on Market Stocks Held by Country Dealers. There ha been more activity In the mo ialr market this week than any time this alios. Local buyer are now generally offering 50 cents, and a fair turnover is reported. There are Indication! of Eastern orders on the market, which probably ex plain the revival of Interest In this com munity, though the trading cannot be called large In comparison with the markets ot former years. Not much new hair has come to Portland yet. It 1 believed that country dealers hiTt taken on a considerable portion of the new clip, and If they bought It around 45 cents, they will make more on mohair this year than they will on valley wool. An Interesting feature of the mohair situ etlon is the use that is being made of hair by Japanese manufacturers. They have not entered the market here, so tar as known, but have bought Cape mohair, according to the Boston Commercial Bulletin, which says The new clip is coming to band more freely at the Cape and buying has contin ued there since the opening with some degree of briskness, mostly on English ac count. It would appear, although no doubt snore or less buying has been done for Amer lea and perhaps some for Japan, as it Is known that some mohair was bought in South Africa for Japan during the past year tor experimental purposes. "Japanese manufacturers have apparently determined to Investigate ths possibilities In mohair more fully and have made invest! rations and comparisons of the qualities and possibilities In mohair through their Gov ernment Consular Service, who report that the staple compares very favorably with some Chinese wool which la being used rather freely In Japan at the present time and whloh shrinks In the neighborhood of 40 per cent." Concerning the . Boston market, the Bulls tin says: "Moderate business only Is re ported In the mohair market here. Some demand continues for original bag mohair of about average carding length at prices varying slightly above or below the half' dollar mark. Consignments In the usual way are coming forward from the country and some hair Is understood to have been sold latterly In Texas at prices not reported.

Twelve double-deck cars of two and three- year-old grass wethers from the Idaho-Oregon section, which wars tn poor condition. arrived at Chicago during the last two daya Reports Indicate that dry weather and un seasonable low temperature during the Spring months have retarded the develop ment and finishing of sheep and lambs, and rains are needed at an early day to relieve the situation. The first shipments of lambs from the Northwest rang country are ex pected to reach the Chicago market the lat ter part or the current week.
