Turkish Hair Is Already Arriving
in This Country and Can Be
Bought at Moderate Price.
A few small flocks of goats have been
shorn in the valley, but shearing will not
be general for at least two weeks yet. It
Is early for Indications as to the course
of this season's prices and the few signs
appearing are not entirely favorable.
Growers for some time have feared the
effect of the dumping of Turkish mohair
on the American market, and It Is no
satisfaction to them to learn that such
hair Is now arriving In this country and
is being laid down at New York and Bos
ton at 453."0 cents a pound. The position
of the foreign exchange market favors
these imports. Turkey accumulated a vast
quantity of mohair during the war and
much of It has already been shipped to
England. The British government has re
moved all restrictions on the shipment of
mohair from that country t all destina
tions. The latest advices from the cape are
of firm markets, with prices higher than
In this country. Local conditions of this
sort frequently develop In Oregon as well,
and it is no uniirual thing for country
merchants to open the season by paying
prices several cents above the market.
When conditions are right, this sort of
speculation pays, but it remains to be
seen whether mohair will act this season
as it did during the war period. With the
Turkish menace and the abundance of
cheap coarse wools It looks as if the
market would have some difficulty In mak
ing progress upward.

LARGE FLOUR STOCKS AT HONGKONG
Heavy Imports Due to High Mrs
Silver.
The Hongkong flour situation Is de
scribed in a recent consular report:
There has been a material increase In
the stock on hand, reports showing about
650.000 bags of flour compared with about
300,000 bags a month ago. Arrivals from
Australia and north China have been large
and the offtake has not been as brisK as
anticipated. The immense increase in the
buying power of silver led to considerable
Imports from the United States as well as
from Australia, in both cases to the dis
advantage of north China flour. At the
close of the month American patsnt was
selling at $3.40 and cutoff tt $3.40 per
bag. Australia No. 1 was quoted at $2 80
and No. 2 at $2.62. while i-harm-bai flour
was "quoted at $2.82 per bag. With the
somewhat easior situation in the rice mar
ket the demand for flour has fallen off
considerably.

some Inquiry for contracts covering four
and five years. The terms and arrange
ments vary widely, but the three-year
bids average 40 to 45 cents. Spots are
quoted nominally at 76 cents. It is a
question whether a bid at this price could
be obtained and it Is also doubtful wheth

NEW YORK, March 4. The market for
coffee futures showed renewed firmness
today, owing to reiterated reports of an
improved spot demand, while there were
also rumors that inquiries from Germany
were being received In the Rio market.
Owing to the interrupted cable service the
rumors were neither denied or confirmed
and there were no official quotations from
the Brazilian markets, but It was reported
that some of the local houses had received
bullish advices ' from Brazil by way of
London. The market opened at an ad
vance of 15 to 19 points, with active
months selling 87 to 42 points net higher
during the early afternoon. This carried
May up to 16.20c, or more than a cent
above the law level of last Saturday, and
attracted enough realizing to cause re
actions for a few minutes, although sell
ing otherwise was held in raeck by the
bullish spot talk and advance In sterling
exchange. May closed at 15.02c, with tn
general list showing a net advance of 14
to 24 points. - Closing bids: March, 14.60c;

Advancing Civilization
Community, state and aational development must keep in
the lead of advancing civilization. That city, state or
nation becomes great when its people look beyond the pal
of the present when they do their day'g" work with the
determination that its rewards must accumulate to the
benefit of each succeeding day.
Issuing- bonds is the way municipalities and govcnimenU
anticipate the future and provide funds for developments
and needed improvements. They take time by the fore
lock and bring into being with one stroke what it would
take 10, 20 or 30 years to accomplish on a strictly cash basis.
Back of these bonds are pledged all of the taxable re
tources of the issuing government every house, indus
trial plant and taxable thing. The bond issues create
the improvements and developments advancing civiliza
tion benefits from them and helps pay for them over a
period of years.

afford a-steam yacht. Speculation is a luxury. Is it one
that you can afford? Sound bonds yield an attractive
income return and when carefully chosen are entirely safe.
