THE MORNING OKEGOXIAN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER IS, 101S. 10 PRICES OF BURLAP ARE REGULATED Maximum Fixed Quotations Government. Are by BASIS 13.60 AND 16 CENTS Further Import Purchases Are Pro , liiblted Without Consent of War Industries Board. "With the Government engaged In regu lating burlap prices, so It can obtain the vast quantities of trench bass it requires at reasonable cost, trading1 in the burlap and grain bag .markets has naturally be come unsettled. There is no business at all passing in the bag market here. There naturally would not be much doing at this time of year, but a few bags might be sold lor home or California - account if the market were on a settled basis. The last business 'dona was at 234 cents, which hows a considerable decline from the quota tions prevailing just before harvest. The prices fixed, as based on 8-ounce MOs, are 13. CO cents West Coast, and 14 cents East Coast; on 10 -ounce 40s, 16 cents West Coast and 16.50 cents East Coast. In addition to prohibiting further import purchases, further freight space engagement for burlap is also prohibited without the Consent of the War Industries Board. The new prices are 15 to -0 per cent below the quotations that have ruled the past fort night and came as a distinct surprise to Importers, bag manufacturers, makers of linoleums and other users of burlap as welL The new maximum burlap prices for the pacific Coast are announced as follows, ' net cash, ex dock: Width 1 (Dunces. 26 In. 7 12.2J 40 in. 13.35 13.45 3 3.60 14.10 14.60 15.4H 15.70 16.00 1 6. no 17.O0 37.50 45 In. 35.12 15.23 3 5.40 15.H6 3 6.53 3 7.43 17.76 18.10 3 8.66 3f.23 19.7U 7",4.. s. ...

Mo maximum price has been fixed for single bales or less than car Jots, but it is expected that the prices of these will be kept in reasonable proportion to the carload prices after making due al lowance for the extra expense of doing business In small lots. "These same prices also become the basis for burlap bags, any quantity with the ad ditional understanding that for bags the Atlantic and Gulf port basis is to apply f. o. b., any bag factory except those on the Fad fie Coast. The Pacific Coast factories are limited to Pacific Coast prices, and for all other bag factories it Is assumed that the difference between the Pacific Coast prices and the Atlantic Coast prices covers the freight from the Pacific Coast to the bag factory. "The price on bags is for any quantity .t any time of delivery, but in the case of very small orders, the extra expense of doing business in small lots may be added to the cost of manufacturing. The above arrangement continues in force until fur ther notice. All of these prices for both cloth and bags apply regardless of the time of delivery."

The apple crop estimate of Washington for October f a Ms beiow former estimates because of the increased per cent of cutis, due to late codling moth larvae Infestation. In some instances the epps have been packed on tho apples and hatched after packing, fonie growers used the arsenical spray as late as September 15 with good results. Cold storage will deter the hatching of these late brooding eggs. The Washington State Iepartment of Agriculture estimates the yteid as follows: Yakima Valley district, including Takima. Kitiias. Benton and Franklin counties. 7520 cars; Wenatchee district, comprising Chelan, Okanogan. Loug!as and Grant counties. 7 ' 5 fl cars, compared with 7fi!S cars last year; Spokane and Eastern Washington, 011 cars: Walla Walla district, which Includes all hipping points in the Clarkston and the nake River territory, 250 cars; Southwest- trn Washington. 177 cars; Western Wash ington, about 700 cars, all of which will be ted in local markets.

EASTERN MILLS IN NEED OF MOHAIK Small Lots or Fall Clip Pell on Basis of 73 Cents Trading in Texas, Odd lots of Fall mohair have sold at Boston during the week at about 75 cents for stock In good condition, while some inferior and burry has also been sold in a small way at correspondingly less money. Stocks on hand, howepr, are small against a lairiy good, demand, says the commercial Bulletin. The sale of some 200.000 pounds of the Fall clip is reported from Kerrvill. Tex., the price paid being reported st 75 cents, although some operators believe that rather more money may have been received. Some Basuto hair is understood to have been sold to arrive at around 70 cents, re cently for fair-sized quantities. Latest advices from Bradford are to the effect that the mohair market there Is vitliout any material change, stocks being very limited and spinners willing to pay any thing within reason to secure the supplies they need so much. However, some further arrivals were expected from the Cape at almost any moment which would relieve the situation more or less. At the Cape the season Is just about to begin but some early buying is already re ported with American operators rather keen to secure supplies and Bradford buyers by no means slow to bid against them. Some Winter firsts have been sold st 33 cents, first cost and Winter kids brought 44 cents while Basutos wore sold in one case at least for 3U cents.

Telephone Bdwy. 2151 Buy Liberty Bonds as an Investment We urge you to buy Liberty Bonds as permanent investment. Don't plan to dispose of your Liberty Bonds at th first slight pressure, and don't trade them for other securities offering a higher rate of interest. Liberty Bonds are as good as the money with which you pay for them. The same Government is back of them. Their value is beyond question and for a security of that class they pay a liberal rate of interest. As collateral for loans there is nothing better. Almost any bank will loan you 80 to 9 per cent of their face value at the lowest rates on the most favorable term6. In 6hort, buy Liberty Bonds as an investment because they keep your funds absolutely safe, always available and earning a good rate of interest. Convert Your 4's Now Convert your First and Second Liberty Loan 4 per cent Bonds into 4 Vis immediately, otherwise on November 9. 1918, you will lose that privilege for all time. Our facilities are at yor service to assist you in making the exchange and the Government wants you to convert. If You Are Compelled to Sell Don't take less than the New York market price for your Liberty Bonds and make sure you are getting that price by refusing to sell to any but a reliable bond house. We deal exclusively in Government and Municipal Bonds and buy and sell Liberty Bonds at the market. The current market price is quoted below. If you can possibly buy more bonds do ao.
