The ncouragmg nature of the war news gives soma hop that possibly the removal of Federal control may be a matter not too far remote. Indications are not wanting that the War Trade Board representatives who have gone to London, are beginning to get some de talis of a comprehensive plan for the con trol of tha world's supply settled. Just bow far negotiations have proceeded Is Im possible to state but It la evident that some progress Is being made. For Instance, it Is now announced that the Board of Review f tha Quartermaster General's Department has had for consideration and approval re cently contracts put through on September 13. last, for the 'purchase from the Brftfsh irovemment of 100.000 bales of Australian merinos and another lOo.utjo bales of New Zealand crossbred. The price Involved, while not definitely announced. Is under stood to ba not in excess of tha British government's price of Issue to her own manufacturers. A contract has also been approved for tha purchase of 100.000 bales of South American wools. Thus, tha Board f Review passed upon tha purchase of ap proximately lto,Oo.0OO pounds of wool. f which soma 33,000,000 pounds only would ba Australian fine wool, the balance being largely of tha crossbred order.

Oct. 18. Reports that the Ger man U-boats had been. called in gave a de cided stimulus today to bullish sentiment in regard to corn.

Mohair prices have advanced In Texas and Boston, but the market here is nominal with no tradinr and very little Spring hair left. Dealers are still quoting 60 cents, but If they undertook to buy would -have to pay on a parity with the Kastern market. A further sale of 200.000 pounds of the Fall Texas clip Is reported from Kerrvllle and it Is reported that other sales have been made elsewhere, presumably at about the price level prevailing In Kerrvllle. It Is now said that the first sale of 200.000 pounds was made at 77 rents snd' the sec ond at a slight advance over the previous ale. Thus the market in Texas for th Fall clip would seem to be approaching 80 cents. BCTTER TRICES ARB TOO HIGH Eaa Francisco Market Slow and Weak. Owing to Extreme Quotations. Reporting on conditions In the San Fran cisco butter trade the Bureau of Markets ays: "There was a weak feeling en the mar ket today with trading almost at a stand :iil and prices at c below yesterday. Most dealers em to be supplied with goods for Immediate needs' and are unwilling to buy at prices which are asked, the general opin ion being that prices aro too high.

Dun's Review to morrow will say: No slackening of the vigorous productive efiort in the leading industries has resulted from the continued discussion- of peace pros pects, but tha question of probable future readjustments has entered more largely Into calculations. Signs of hesitation among buyers, prompted Dy expectations oi a laier turn In the price situation, are not wholly absent and the disposition to operate cau tiously andNwell within the limits of safety has been intensified. The volume of business, meanwhile, has been further reduced by the diversion of interest to the new liberty loan and the restricting effect of tho influenza epidemic has become more pronounced and general. Not only has retail trading been checked, but manufacturing activities, notably in New Eneland and elsewhere In the East, have also been appreciably curtailed by the greater inroads made into the ranks of labor.

He says the vessel was bound in from her station to enter Lake Washington for repairs. Off the train ing station she "took a shear" and her forefoot became firmly Imbedded in the mud. A tug put out from the station to assist, but only broke two hawsers without budging- the ship. Then the crowd of eailorraen ashore "broke out" a new manila line, measur ing six inches in circumference, and when that was passed to the ship they pulled so strenuously it -parted. The vessel was going astern at the time, the strain on the line being in the same di rection, and she floated. On getting clear, captain uison ror. got regulations and saluted the boys with the 12-inch fog wnistie aDoard, in stead of using the ordinary signal. A report of the incident has gone on to the Bureau of Ligntnouses, at Wash ington. Mr. Warrack says the line should sustain 13 tons and there Is no evidence to show it, was faulty.

Unlike former years, heavy south bound travel by steamer has not filled the steerage of vessels, agents report ing that in most cases passengers have well-filled wallets and demand cabin accommodations.

Charles Piez, vice-president of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, has been asked to straighten out an entangle ment with reference to the new fitting- out dock at the Northwest Steel Com pany, work on which has been ordered stopped by S. P. Bush, of the facilities division of the War Industries Board at Washington. The stand of Mr. Bush is tnat tne improvements are not essential, inas much as the Northwest plant can con tinue to have its steamers fitted out by the Willamette Iron & Steel Works, as at present. Mr. Piez consented to the ritting-out plant being built and equipped," says J. R. Bowles, president of the North west Steel Company. "We were advised by the Willamette Iron & Steel Works July 29 that they could not continue fitting out the ships on the contract basis in force. We felt we could not pay more, so, after obtaining authority from Mr. Piez, proceeded with the work. We have contracted with the Hesse-Martin Iron Works for virtually its entire output, and we have con tracted with the Columbia River Ship building Corporation for boilers for our future ships. If these facilities are de nied us there will be no more ships built." Mr. Bowles Insists that as the work was authorized by Mr. Piez, only the latter has the power to order it sus pended. The plant is building 8800-ton steel ships for the Government. WOOD SHIP. DELIVERIES GAIN Twenty-Two Carriers Have Been Given Nation 3Iore Ready.
