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.

ery of cash grain on futures must be prop
erly licensed by the Food Administration as
