TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, -TUNE 23, 1918. 31 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."

LEBANON, Or., June 27. (Special.) The Lebanon mohair pool sold this after noon at 81 cents a pound to M. Senders & Co., of Albany, Or. The pool consists of about 1500 fleeces or about 6000 pounds. CANTALOUPE PRICES HOLDING STEADY Receipts From Imperial Valley Will De cline From Now On.
