MOHAIR AT 61 CENTS
Competition of Buyers Causes
Rise in Oregon Market.
LEBANON POOL BRINGS TOP
Flurry in Prices May Bo Only Tem
porary, as Eastern Demand Is Re
stricted, AVith Mills Working
Mainly on Wool Orders.
Local competition in the mohair market,
which can usually be counted on In this
stats to produce results, has put mohair
V rices up 5 cents In the face of statements
by the trade here and In the East that there
Is practically no demand. It is known that
the big mohair mills of the country are at
present running about 90 per cent on Gov
ernment wool business. This state of affairs
kept the mohair market In an inactive con
dition for the first month after shearing,
and It was expected by dealers that the
same laok of Interest would be shown dur
Ing the remainder of the season. However,
some Inquiry has developed, and there are
signs of Eastern orders on the market. The
business cannot be large In the nature of
things, but it appears to be sufficient to
start the buyers here and at Valley points
to competing against each other. As a con
sequence, up to 61 cents has been paid for
the new clip.
Trade In the Eastern markets and abroad
Is quiet, according to the Boston Commer
cial Bulletin, which says:
"In the local market there is little new
to report with reference to mohair. Demand
lor this staple has been limited, as many of
the consumers are engaged on Government
wool yarns. Prices Bhow no real change in
this market and stocks left in the country
re not bringing any more money either.
Bales in Texas are reported at 4650 cents
generally for hair In the original sacks.
"Advices from the Cape and from Great
Urttaln contain little that Is new or inter
esting. Stocks are still to be had at the
Cape, although British buyera have recently
taken a fair proportion of the stocks avail
able there.
Alpaca Is in light supply and still very
firmly held In the Liverpool market both
for fleeces and for Inferior stocks."
