There has been more activity In the po

buyers have purchased a fair number of
cars for shipment south, paying growers

brng market no Improvement Is seen.
The potato market season in Idaho Is
slowing down rapidly after the heavy
shipments of the past three weeks. Bus!
ness would be stagnant were not money
at such a premium that some growers
are continuing to sell at present prices.
Tr the past, whenever Rurals dropped to a
price of 50 cents per 100 pounds, growers
nave stopped hauling and have begun to
feed them to livestock. They have always
considered potatoes were worth more than
50 cents for feed. This season, on ac
count of the financial stringency, the low
prices of other feeds and the depression
In the livestock market, there is still a
small selling movement of potatoes that
probably will persist even though prices
become lower. A few growers are reported
reeding potatoes to livestock but the prac
tice has not become general aa yet.

NEW TORK, Feb. 9. The, stock market
today fulfilled in moderate measure its
promise of greater strength and activity.
as indicated by tne vigorous rebound late
yesterday.
Aside from relaxation of rates for call
money, no visible change occurred In the
factors which have held the market In
check. There was a feeling in speculative
quarters, however, thai technical condi
tions temporarily favored the longs.
Adoption of the Winslow bill by the
house, implying partial compensation of
claims by the railroads against the gov
ernment, failed to stimulate more than an
intermittent inquiry for representative
transportation shares.
Cumulative signs that the steel Industry
is near a price readjustment gave Impetus
to Issues of that character. Including rail

shares was variable and hesitant at best.
As a group, oils again monopolized the
bulk of speculative attention. Pools were

WHEAT AVERAGES LOWER
CROP DAMAGE REPORTS ARE
XOT TAKES SERIOCSLT,
Selling: Pressure Broadens Toward
Close of Market Stocks of
Corn Increase.
CHICAGO, Feb. 9. Disparagement of
talk about crop damage from green bugs
In the southwest tended to make wheat
prices today average . lower.- The market
fluctuated rapidly and closed nervous at
net declines of c to c; oats c to c
and provisions 5c to 12c.
Numerous messages making light of re
ports about green bugs led to profit tak
ing by many of yesterday's wheat buyers
and caused an early decline. It was said
to be premature yet to take sucn reports
aa serious. Buying later that was at
tributed to eastern shorts and to the
northwest brought about a sharp upturn
in connection with predictions of a gen
eral strike in Argentina and with signs
that domestic millers were having some
difficulty in obtaining supplies. The ad
vance, however, appeared only of intermit
tent character, selling pressure having
broadened toward the last and causing a
fresh setback.
Corn and oats paralleled wheat. Bears
put special strength on the increasing
stocks of com and on the absence of ur
gent demand.
Weakness in hogs had a depressing ef
fect on provisions. ,f
The Chicago market letter received yes
terday by the Overbeck & Cooke Co. of
Portland said:
Wheat It was an erratic market
throughout the session and although the
tendency was lower, the short-covering
movement of yesterday was resumed from
time to time and caused numerous sharp
rallies. News items were generally con
ducive to bearishness, especially those
touching on the foreign situation telling
of other countries offering grain to Eu
rope at lower prices than America. From
all appearances Great Britain has more
wheat on hand than necessary as they
are selling both wheat and flour on credit
to central Europe. Country offerings were
reported light and the milling demand
fairly good in the southwest, but smaller
northwest. Texas and Oklahoma authori
ties reported green bug stories greatly ex
aggerated. The Improved domestic situa
tion is overshadowed by the reverse posi
tion of wheat elsewhere. We believe ad
vances from this level will be difficult to
maintain. 1
Corn Displayed an undercurrent of
weakness and responded feebly to the up
turn In wheat. P.eceipts today were com
naratlvelv small and cash sold on a firm
basis. This factor, however, cannot be
considered particularly significant, simply
reflecting a spasmodic demand which is
far overshadowed by tne prospect 01 con
tinued liberal supplies. Stocks are piling
up rapidly at all terminate and becoming a
drug on the market. From a feeding view
point corn is worth more money but there
is so much ot it avanaoie ior conmitrumi
nurDost-s over and above feeding require
ments that a sustained advance in prices Is
Improbable.
Oats Followed com and wheat with
profit taking by longs a feature. While
this market is in a position to respond to
constructive development, there will no
doubt be plenty of weak spots In sym
pathy with corn where purchases can be
made.
Provisions Ruled weak and lower on
grain weakness and lower hog prices.

GROWERS TO MAKE SUITS
IDAHO SHEEPMEX PLAX SALES
TO COXSCMERS.
Wool Slay Be Woven Into Cloth and
Retailed to Eliminate Mid
dlemen's Profits. -
BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 9. (Special.)
Idaho woolgrowers propose to take
the wool clipped from their sheep, and
now etored in warehouses, have it
woven into cloth and the cloth made
into suits, blankets, etc, which can
be sold direct to the public, thus elim
inating; the middlemen entirely. Hugh
Sproat,' president of the Idaho Wool
Growers' association of this state, is
one of the leaders in the movement.
While in Chicago recently. Dr.
Gardner' of Anaconda visited the
warehouse where most of the western
clip Is stored to ascertain what the
chances were for moving- the wool.
He was Informed there would likely
be no movement for months. On re
turning home, he found his wife had
purchased some cloth to make their
daughter a dress. It cost $16. A suit
for their son cost $65. On examina
tion he found the cloth to be nothing
but felted shoddy. He decided to get
some of the etored wool in the Chi
cago storehouse woven into cloth and
made into suits. He found that an
all-wool suit could be delivered to
the wearer for $38, which is consid-
ered reasonable both to the consumer
and to the wool grower. Now the
Montana growers intend to manufac
ture their own wool into cloth, and
the Idaho growers propose to follow
in their footsteps. :
