iiriti-li Sale of Fine Australian
Wool at Boston Is Failure.
Prices Off 2 0 Per Cent.
The wool auction fhIc, which was sched
uled to be held in "this city on May -".
has bjn postponed until 10 A. M.. June
I t. Announcement to this effect was made
yesterday by T. J. Alahoncy, general man
ager of the Columbia Basin Wool Ware
house company. The sale will take place
at the company's warehouse. The post
ponement was made necessary by the late
ness of shearing' and the delayed arrival
of wool here, due to backward shearing and
the car shortage. About 1,000,000 pounds
of wool have come in already, but there
is not enough variety In the shipments as
yet for, the sale.
Wool buying in the open market
throughout the northwest continues light
brcau.se of the unsettled condition ot the
wool trade in the east.
The following w ire was received from
Boston yesterday:
'Tho British auction (tale of fine Aus
tralian wools today was a failure. Prices
were fully HO per cent off and practically
70 percent of the wool was withdrawn, i
The best staple sold at $1.S0 and less."
A report on the British wool tnanufac- J
turing- industry just issued by the United
Slnte tariff commission is of much timely
Interest. The report describes the condi- ;
tions of the British industry at the present
time and presents the factors which tend
toward m down ward movement of prices
and, a)o, tliowe whose influence is toward
the maintenance of the present high levels.
Among the factors which promise a de
cline In prices are, chiefly: The large
world supply of wool and the relatively
low wages being paid to mill operatives
In .England. The report indicates that
large stocks of wool are on hand or now
being gathered In the southern hemis
phere. The stocks are, In part, a residue
of tho war clips which could not be trans
ported to the consuming a roan, and in
part the clip for the present season. Along
with this abnormal supply there is an un
usual situation with respect to the prob
able world consumption. With the cur
tailment in the number or working hours
in Kngland from 55 to 4H per week; and
with tho continental industries consider
ably crippled, either by reason of the war
destruction or of the present exchange
condition, ti appears probable that the
quantity of material which it will be pos
sible to push through the world's machines
will be substantially less than that which
was manufactured In the pre-war period.
The extent to which such an over-supply
of wool will ultimately affect prices, either
in Kngland or in the United Stales, de
pends upon a number of factors. Among
these may be especially mentioned the pe
culiar character of the possible demand
for wool fabrics, which now tends toward
tiiotje-made from merino and high cross
bred wool. As long as the demand ib so
largely limited to such fabrics, the rela
tive scarcity of wools suitable for their
manufacture nullifies, to a greater or less
extent, the influence of the unusually large
supply of wool of other soils,

I -ate Rally in Coffee.
NEW YORK, -May 20. The market for
cof I'ee futures opened at a decline of 3 to
5 points and sola about 10 to JU points
net lower during the morning as a result
of continued liquidation, promoted- by re
ports of lower milreis prices at Rio and
nervousness over general business condi
tions. Private cables, reporting further sales of
government coffee, reducing the unboid
stock to 2:5,0O0 bags, also seemed to make
a bearish impression on sentiment in some
quarters. After the early offerings had
hn MtiKorhfd. however, the market turned
steady and rallitd quite sharply in the late
trailing on tne improvement in s toe as ana
cotton and covering. September sold up
from 1 4.33c to 14.62c with the market
closing net 10 points lower to 2 points
higher. May. 14.70c; July. 14.97c; Sep

Bond Quotations Firmer.
NEW YORK, May 20. Another Impres
sive selling .nov'in ,-nt took place on the
stock exchange today, the bulk of the ,
enlarged dealings, according to popular
opinion, ' again representing involuntary
liquidation resulting from the increased
tightening of creiit-f.
Aside from this ievelopmfht. which was
strengthened by r.dvices from alt sections
of the country indicating an extension of
the campaign against high commodity
prices, there were no specific eventa in
explanations of the further reaction.
Standard shares suffered in equal meas
ure vith speculative issues, testifying to
the insistent nature or the offerings. These
were again traceable in large part to
out-of-town sources, mainly western and
southwestern center?, although "New Eng
land also yaa reported as a heavy seller
cf cop pei.
In the final hour, following another dip
in prices to the day's lowest levels, a spir-
ir.ua rany sf-t In. Hs and sugars leading
at extreme gains of 2 to 7 points. Steels,
equipment. and motors also were carried
upward. Sales were 1.33O.0OO shares.
Plenty of ca II money was available at
t per cent after the usual opening quo
tation of 7.
The weekly statement of the Bank of
England failed to confirm recent rumors
of furtner gold exports from London, nor
was there anything In the local sterling
rate to bear out tuch reports. The only
noteworthy change in foreign remittances
waa tiie further strength of German ex
change. Liberty bonds- kept pace with the stock
market, .ra Hying briskly from their new
low recot-ds. but the general bond list was
heavy. Total .Hies (par value), $31 ,750.W.
Old United States 2s lost Vi and the 4s
per cent on call, others of that gtoup
remaining unchanged.

sion house demand soon made itself felt
and there was rather free covering.
Oats were governed by the action of
corn.
Foreign buying of lard gave a. lift to
provisions lifter early weakness, due to
sympathy with grain.
The Chicago market leter received yes
terday by Overbeck &. Cooke Co. of Port
land said:
Corn Liquidation was far less pro
nounced today than for the past few days
and following an early dip which developed
an over-sold condition the market gained
strength and advanced persistently up to
the close. A .source of much disappoint
ment to those advocating lower prices was
the factor of the meeting of railway man
agers to bring about an adjustment of
the labor difficulties which have tied up
both the incoming and outgoing move
ments. Receipts todav were auite ample
and cash market transactions were at 1
to 2c decline with industries about the only
buyers. Outside markets were relatively
firm with advances of 1 to 4 cents report
ed. Crop reports on the whole were fa
vorable, although an increasing number of
complaints of planting being delayed were
noted. Fundamental conditions are against
an advance of consequence from this level
and it is apparent that bearish efforts will
be rfiuite effective In event transportation
conditions undergo sufficient change to
permit of adequate distribution.
Oats There was a good demand for
futures on the early break and when the
surplus had been taken from the market
prices responded readily to buying of short
contracts. Cash prices advanced 1 to 2
cents, while the premiums remained un
changed. Conceding that the immediate
cash position lends strength to futures.
w doubt that this will overcome the gen
eral disposition to Hquiaate commodities
in anticipation of price deflation in all
directions.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
