rlr quantities of new clip mohair ar
iw co mine lo and th market mar t con
idered aa ha v tar opened, though the larje
Micni mill representatives, -who usually do
tho harist part or the buy! nr. have not
yet made their appearance.
Prices quoted by buyers ran re all the
vay from 35 to 45 cents. Actual purchases
tAa been made by Portland dealers at 40
cents, and they consider this as the current
value of 1919 Oreron mohair. The market
has always been subject to much specula-
l.on. howeTer, and present prices may not
hold lone. A local firm writes:
There U very Itttle to report ri-fardinff
the mohair situation. It Is painful for the
trovers mho received htrh prices during
ivl to lower their Ideas aa to valu, and
11S to lower their ideaa as to .value, and
started east, as a lance number of the looms
which were available for roohatr purposes
were oonverted to woolen roods on account
of the extreme necessity during the war
The few mills remain In r which manufac
ture mohair products are firm set In their
belief that the reneral public will refuse to
pay the h:rh prices demanded. Ixnr at a
pls Oreron mohair appears to be worth
aboox 4 cents per pound to the growers.
That this price will be maintained la doubt
ful. It remains to bo seen whether specula
tors, who have been so active in the past
seasons, will enter the market. The Texas
crop, which Is the most active competitor
of Oreron mohair. Is excredtnely larre.'
The mohair market at Boston continues
to drr alonr. with hardly any interest re
ported from manufacturers, says the Com
menu) Bulletin, thourh a few lota have
been sold at prices which show no decline
f any moment. Whit the outcome Is no
one wants to ruesa. Advices from England
and the Capo show littlo or no cbanre in
the situation at thoe points, prices b.nc

Per Feeuid for a I.
Thera has beea soma little activity re
cently In tho calfskin market, and as a
consequence Portland city calfskins have ad
vanced to 35 cents per pound, and the value
of klpeklna has advanced to 20 cents per
pownd. for skins that hava been taken off
without cuts and scores.
Duiinr the war ths government made a
differential between calfskins that were
properly flayed and those that were taken
off without cuts and scores on them. City
butchers were Quirk o realize the advan-
taro of nslnr care when removing the skins
from ths val shipped In for city consum
ers, and as a natural result the Portland
city calfskins are becoming more popular
to eastern tanners, and It Is believed by the
local hide bouses that with cars and atten
tion tbey will eventually command a value
la keeping with the best rrade of eastern
city cairskuia This applies also to the hides
removed by ths local city packers, and com

to 19 cents for steers and 15 cents for

STEADY GROWTH OF BUSINESS SHOWN
Trade Assumes More Natural Aspoct -Export
Opportunities.
NEW YORK. April 4. Dun's weekly re
view will say;
With full recognition of the uncertain
state of the highly Important iron and steel
industry, due to differences over the price
question. It is nevertheless clear that busi
ness lias added something to Its recent re
covery. The growth of confidence, which
is nearly everywhere manifest, seems greater
than the expansion of actual operations, but
activity broadens with each week's passing
and is supported by substantial contributions
to the list of helpful factors,
New opportunities for the extension of
American enterprise abroad are not in.'re
quently making their appearance. With
many domestic concerns that had been com
pletely or largely engaged on government
work now turning to other channels of
production and with prices of some com
modities at a less inflated position, the
whole economic situation steadily assume
a more natural aspect and the benefits are
begiirning to show in a business develop
ment. Weekly bank clearings were -$6,318,-

SouXbern Pacific Leads "With Heavy
Buying Steels, Motors and
Specialties Also Climb.
NEW YORK, April 4. The movement in
prices on tbe stock exchange during the
greater part of today's session was extremely
uncertain, but the entire list rose spir
itedly in the final hour in response to a
sweeping demand for rails, especially in
vestment shares.
There were no 'specific developments in
connection with the inquiry for transporta
tions, but board room gossip persisted that
negotiations were under way which would
place the railroads of the country upon a
more assured footing.
Southern Pacific was the dominant fea
ture, its advance of 4 points being at
tended by free accumulation of numerous
large Individual blocks.
Other trantcontinentals rose 1 to 2 points
and grangers strengthened on announcement
that the St. Paul directors had finally en
tered into contractual relations with the
railroad administration.'
Vet another helpful factor aa affecting
systems traversing western and southwest
ern territories were the estimates of crop
experts, which emphasized recent reports of
excellent conditions, including increased
acreage.
SteeU, motors and their specialties, and
sugars, chemical and express stocks shared
most extensively with the later movement
in rails, strength prevallnig at the active
timsn. sales amounted to 800.000 shares.
Foreign bonds were easier, but domestic
issues, including the libertv erotic reflect-
ed the better tone for high-class rails. To
tal sales, par value, aggregated 14,SOO,000.
Old United States bonds were unchanged on
call.

NEGRO HITS PROPRIETOR
WIXDOW WASHER DEMANDS
PAYMENT OP BILL.
Defendant Appears In Court With
Bandages Colored Man
Is Fined $50.
He said he was a dangerous man
and not afraid for anybody.
Thus did M. Blackman, proprietor 01
a etore in South Portland, testify yes-
erday regarding the boasts he said
W. J. Clifton had made regarding his
Dhysical prowess. One look: at such
nnrtions of ' Mr. Blackman's face
showed through a wreath of sticking
plaster and bandages convinced tne
pectators that Mr. ciirton naa, inaeea.
some basis for his vaunting.
The case originated last Monday,
when Sir. Clitton, a negro, called at
the Blackman shop to collect J1.50 for
washing the windows of the proprie
tor's house. Mr. Blackman said he naa
never seen the window-washer before,
and after an ineffectual attempt to
telephone to Mrs. Blackman and ascer
tain whether the negro naa wasnea tne
windows, he said he told Mr. Clifton
o wait until Mrs. Blackman arrived at
the store. At this Juncture he said the
eero attacked him without provoca
tion, and slashed his face with a knife.
Mr. Clifton denied using a knife, and
insisted that he struck the complainant
only when the latter, after trying to
settle the bill for $1, had attempted to
throw him out of the store. He ex
hibited his left hand, badly swollen
as a result of the conflict, as evidence
that he had not needed a knife to dis
pose of his opponent-

Attorney Wagner, who represented the
defendant, announced that he would
appeal the case to the circuit court.

COUNTY TAX MONEY PI
TOTAL. OF $400,000 RECEIVED
FROM PAYMENTS.
Deferred Purchases Enable Portland
to Limit Borrowed Sum to
$50,000 This Tear.
City Treasurer Adams yesterday re
ceived $216,000 as the second instal
ment of tax money paid by the county
of Multnomah. In all, appropriately
$400,000 of 1918 tax money has been
paid to the city by the county.
The city of Portland borrowed but
$50,000 this year to tide it over until
the tax money was paid into city cof
fers. Prior to this year it has been
necessary to borrow from $300,000 to
$350,000 for this purpose.
City Commissioner Perkins, in charge
of the finance department of the city.
took two steps to avoid borrowing a
large sum this year. He urged his fel
low commissioners to postpone as many
Durchases as possible and he arranged
for 30 and 60-day payments on all goods
purchased by the city without loss of
the discount which is graated with cash
nnvmpnts.
The city pays the usual rate of 6 per
cent on all money borrowea irom lae
banks, and as a result of the arrange
ment nerfected by Commissioner Per
kins the city saved consiaerapie money
