OREGON MOHAIR CLIP
l MAY BE POOLED
No Regular Demand Yet for
This Year's Product.
SHEARING IS UNDER WAY
Several Small Lots Disposed of at
15 Cents Revival in Wool
Trade Is Expected,
Goat shearlnr la making good progress
throughout tha valley, but there Is not
much doing In the way of business. A
few bjyera have made offers of IS cents
and several lots have changed hands at
this prce, but It cannot be said there Is
any actual demand for mohair any more
than for western wooL It Is probable that
nearly al! the Oregon mohair clip will be
pooled with the new association. Reports
so far received from the east are not en
couraging for' an early movement. It is
aid tha larger mills are not only liberally
supplied with mohair from last year's clip,
but also heavily stocked with finished
goods for which they can find no market.
Wool continues Inactive at this end, but
eastern reports of a little better movement
to the mills leads to the hope that there
will be a revival before long in wool
trade In the west. Trade advices from
Boston say:
The wool markets of the world are very
keavy. Stocks of wool everywhere are ex
ceedingly large, and prices are suffering
accordingly, although it seems probable
that the greater part of the liquidation In
prices lias taken place already. In this
nun try Is Is estimated that there Is any
where from 1H months' to two years' supply
ef wool for the mills, of one sort or an
ther, th wools in band being chiefly of
the medium and fine medium order, with
comparatively little of the choice fine
staple wool available.
"Tha stocks In hand are being aug
mented In considerable quantities week
after wefk with arrivals from the for
elrn markets and. In addition, the new do
mestic clip of fiO,000.000 pounds, ap
proximately, excluding pulled wools, Is
just beginning to be shorn; Indeed, the
first of the early Arizona wools already
have been shipped to Boston on consign
ment. It Is evident, therefore, that even
with an emergency tariff, or other equiv
alent legislation imposed, the market for
wool can hardly be expected to show any
boom to- aome time to come, although
there Is no doubt that a tariff on wool
would be a strengthening factor. Indeed,
It would seem to be the only alternative to
further demoralization, especially among
the growers, who are still holding In their
possession somewhere from two-thirds to
three-quarters of the 1020 clip and who
are pressing for quick tariff action in
Washington wtlh the utmost strength of
a well-organized lobby.
"In point of fact, about the only bidders
for the wools now held by the govern
ment have been the carpet manufacturers,
who seldom buy a pound of domestic
grown wool. Nevertheless, wool Is wool
to the most of the western growers, and
o they have deemed it necessary to se
cure the indefinite postponement of fur
ther auctions, which it is now understood
haa been accomplished."
DANISH BUTTER WEAKENS MARKET
T wo Large Ca rgoM A re E r pec ted Thi s
Week; Production la Heavy.
Eastern markets have been short of
fresh butter, enough so to hold prices and
some advanced, but Chicago eased off dur
ing the latter part of the past week. The
tiwdertoi: Is bearish on account of two
more cargoes of Danish butter due this
week, the Oscar II, with 10.000 casks, and
United States with ftfiOO. and also on ac
count of the approach of the flush season,
and the Influence of the break In the egg
market. Old Danish butter of fine quality,
9205 score. Is practically all cleaned up.
Some California butter Is rolling east and
soma business Is expected following the
break In the San Francisco market.
The butter market at San Francisco dur
ing the week up until Friday night was
lacking in strength with the exception of
Monday, when some .firmness followed In
creased outside demand. There was a
sharp break In prices Thursday and Fri
day, making a total decline of 2'c on 02
core butter for the week. 'The general
weakness was due largely to Increased re
ceipts, which forced dealers to sacrifice
prices in order to keep goods moving. Buy
ers lacked confidence and confined pur
chases to actual needs. The trade Is un
certain as to Just how long coast orders
will continue and there Is now some Indi
cation of a falling off. Several cars went
east during the week, which aided the
general tone of the market. Reports from
country points Indicate unusually favor
able feed conditions and large production
la expected. Receipts for the week show
Sk gain of approximately 32.000 pounds
but si nee January 1 this year, are less
than in 1920.
0 ADVANCE IX WHEAT HERE
llarket Doee Not RrMret Improvement la
Kant.
Although wheat was firmer In the east,
there was no Improvement In the local
ettuatlon. Hard -hlta bids were the same
as at the preceding session of the ex
change and offer, for other grade, were
low. The coarse grain market was In
active. Eastern reports said the Spanish gov
ernment haa announced that owing to the
low-price of wheat It Is ready to make
purcha-ses.
Reporting on the crop situation, John
Inglls aald: "From Newton, Kan., south to
Pono City, Oklahoma, wheat looks splen
did. Stock Is still running on wheat fields,
but not checking the growth much. Green
bugs are thick in every field; some will be
plowed up, but there Is a prospect that the
large acreage will escape. Never saw so
much Inecct life in the fields so early.
The acreage of oats is Immense ? they
show a good stand, but doubtful If they
escape the oat louse. Season Is rather
torward."
Terminal receipt. In cars, were reported

BUYEKS PAY 2Z CENTS FOB EGGS
Country Merchants and Soma Producers
Are Storing.
Country merchants and some producers
have taken to storing eggs this year for
the first time, and as a consequence local
receipts are not as heavy as they would
otherwise be. There was enough compe
tition for yesterday's arrivals to hold the
.market firm at 22 cents. Itjto said that
acme of the eggs being put away by out-
of-town dealers are not being handled In
the proper manner, as the speculators will
discover when they take them out of
storage later. Careful candling and new
cases and fillers are necessary In storing
ggs to get good results.
The butter market was steaQy and un
changed with only a moderate demand for
cubes.
Poultry was slow and hens,, both large
and small, were weak and lower. Dressed
pork was scare and retr firm. There
was little ce.ll tor real.

NEW YORK, March 28. The hesitant
and occasionally heavy movement of stock
prices today again was influenced by de
velopments which accentuated the en
forced readjustment of commercial and
industrial estimates. This was indicated
by the passing of the Sears Roebuck and
United States Smelting quarterly divi
dends, coupled with rumors of other omis
sions or reductions of dividend disburse
ment under consideration.
News was of a conflicting character. The
stronger position of the local banks en
couraged more liberal offerlnga of call
and time funds and western centers re
ported moderate Improvement in business.
These hopeful auguries were offset part
ly by another decline in railway tonnage
at leading transportation, terminals, crop
deterioration in several southwestern states
and additional wage reductions.
Oils, motors, steels, equipments and food
and leather specialties comprised fully 60
per cent of the turnover at declines of one
to nearly six points.
Ralls were only sllrhtly affected by the
reaction and Sears Roebuck rallied sharply
at the finish, the motion picture special

I SUPPLY IS
LARGE DECREASE IX VISIBLE
AFFECTS CHICAGO MARKET.
Crop Damage Fears and Possibility
of Early Tariff Action Are
Also Bullish Factors.
CHICAGO. 111.. Msrch 28. Spectacnlar
shrinkage of the visible supply, together
with crop damage rears, did much today
to lift the wheat market. Prices closed
unsettled, 1 to 814 c net higher, with
March $1.5701.5714 and May $1.4314
1.4314. Corn gained 14 o and oats
14pc. In provisions there was a set
back of 80c in prices.
Today's highest wheat prices came after
announcement had been made that a de
crease of 3,818,000 bushels in the visible
supply had so reduced the total that the
ansuunt left in sight was, with one excep
tion, the smallest in more than 30 years.
Besides, later advices indicated that
contrary to reports, damage to growing
wheat may have been done by the cold
wave In the west and southwest. Greater
confidence regarding the speedy enact
ment of an emergency tariff bill was also
to some extent a bullish factor. Trading,
which began today In the July delivery,
waa of only moderate volume.
Corn and oats responded a little to the
strength of wheat, but before doing so
May corn touched the lowest price for the
present crop. Huge stocks are In sight.
However, there was some export business
both in corn and oats.
Lower quotations on hogs weakened
provisions.
The Chicago market letter received yes
terday by the Overbeck ft Cooke company
of Portland said:
Wheat Trading started In July wheat
at around 19 cents under May and later
recovered about 2 cents of the discount.
The entire market had a stronr annpar-
ance on short covering Influenced by the
drop In temperatures over the belt. March
wne-at advanced 414 cents from the low
point and at the close all grades of de
liverable cash were selling at March prices,
but still 13 to 14 cents over May. This
makes July about 30 cents under cash,
which seems too great a discount, even
though the former is representative of a
new crop. The critical period of the crop
Is still ahead of us and the outcome very
much In doubt. Numerous messages were
received today telling of damage due to
the cold weather and a4vanced condition.
The visible supply decreased 3. 816.000
bushels to a total of only 20.761, 0O0 bush
els and wheat is still clearing from the
seaboard at a rapid pace, indicating a
further reduction in the available supply
before May 1. We view the situation as
shaping more and more In favor of the
constructive side of the market.
Corn Features sold down to new low
levels on the crop early in the day, but
developed considerable strength towards
the close with shorts showing a disposi
tion to cover because of the strength in
wheat. Receipts were 357 cars and cash
market steady to a shade higher. Country
offerings remain comparatively light and
Increased movement Is expected. A good
rally is more than likely to take place
coincident with anv display of an advanc
ing tendency In wheat.
Oats After an early decline with other
grains this market .closed strong and
within a small fraction of the high point
of the day. Pressure was small, with hold
ers of futures apparently having more con
fidence in values because of the lack of
country offerings. The shipping demand
was fairly good and the spot market firm.
Rye Selling of July rye against the pur
chase of July wheat was the outstanding
feature. On a pound-for-pound basis rye
appears to be selling too high as com
pared with wheat. Cash rye was firm
with sales at 8V4 cerrfs over May.

A California
Example
There are about $00.0(10
cars in California, with
an average annual tira
upkeep of $100. If all
roads used were - hard-
. surfaced, a saving; of
$12,000,000 annually
would appear In favor
of the resilient, bitu-
, minous type of pave
ment, because there is at
least 20 per cent less tire
wear over resilient
pavement than over one
that is rigid. Resiliency
is one of the great vir

Bond Department
During- the last two months the
average price of bonds has ad
vanced five points. This is due to
the fact that conditions are easier
and capital is seeking investments.
Every indication is for stiffer bond
prices and lower yields. We recom
mend investment NOW while high
yields are still available.

Yonder Pasture Looks Better.
o
VER there this
Over yonder competition is just as
keen, demand is no greater, selling
costs are no more, transportation
difficulties are increased.
Right here in your own Northwest
is a big paying market for hundreds
of lines of merchandise. Is the
other fellow over yonder slipping
in under you here in your own
home territory?
If you have a profitable market
over there, stay with it.
But before spending too much time
and money going into still another,
market, look here at home. Maybe
there is a good market here for you.
Make it pay.
Good advertising will help!
