NO BUYERS IN FIELD YET
SLrons Plea for Prompt Tariff
Action Is Made by Boston Wool
Trade Association.. ..
There has been no change for the bet
ter, yet in the wool situation at this end
and dealers do not ee where ImDrove'
meat will come from unless there is early
tariff action, an embargo or a sain In
mill operation!.
Shearing of the new clip la well along
In the Yakima eecllon and usually at thia
state Portland buyers have taken on con
siderable quantities, but so far this sea
son not a pound of the new Yakima wool
has been bought for local or eastern ac
count. -A little of it has been shlooed
eaat on consignment. Dealers in the east
are inclined to take some Yakima wool
n consignment I' it proves to be better
than last year's clip, but they are not
making advances. Preparations are being
made to begin shearing in eastern Oregon
s on April 15.
the local market the only business
reported during the week was the trans
fer of a few small lots of old wool to local
mills.
, The executive commltteo of the Boston
"Wool Trade Association has sent the fol
lowing letter to President Harding. Vice
President Coolfdge, all members of the
cabinet, all United States senators. Massa
chusetts congressmen, ' chairmen of the
ways and means and of the finance com
mittees, and to wool trade organizations
of the United States:
"The exeoutive commltteo of the Boston
'Wool Trade association wishes to call
careful attention to the enormous Impor
tations of raw wool and wool tops since
January 1 by anticipation of wool duties.
At the port of Boston alone, since Janu
ary 1, a period of 11 weeks. Importations
of wool and tops amount to 108.000.000
pounds. Allowing for differences in clean
scoured contents, this quantity is equal
to 167.000.000 pounds of domestic wool, or
about 0 per cent of the entire United
States clip of 1920. In addition to these
imports, there have been very large en
tries at New York, Philadelphia, San
Francisco and Seattle. During the next
four weeks, these quantities will be largely
Increased from shipments now in transit.
"Temporarily, purchases of wool in for
eign countries for import to the United
8tates have been largely discontinued.
waiting the tariff policy of the new ad-
ministration. If. however. Immediate ac
tion on tariff is not taken heavy purchases
are likely to be resumed. This will not
result In added difficulties' to the wool
grower of the United States in disposing
not only of the balance of his 1020 clln.
. at least 60 per cent of which Is unsold,
but also untold loss In the Yalue of his
approaching clip.
"In his contribution to the clothing and
food supply of the country, the wool
grower la. making a very valuable- addi
tion to the resources of the nation and
we believe that he should be enabled to
conduct his business profitably in order
that he may continue.
"The Importations of wool In the shane
of manufactured goods, other than tops
and yarns, have not been material so far
this year, but owing to the" demoralized
state of exchange, and the lower costs of
manufacturing abroad, heavy Importa
tions of wool In all manufactured forms
can surely be expected to follow the al
re?VerJr heavy ""Por'atlon of raw wool.
Whatever protection Is accorded to raw
wool will be effective only If adequate
duties are placed on tops, yarns and manu
factured goods. The ultimate customer of
the American wool grower, namely, the
American manufacturer, must be suffl-
Pt,'ctc.d-. The sltuauon demand.
. prompt action."
TOl-R-CEXT DROP IX WHEAT BIDS
Irge Buyers Out of Market Feed Prices
Decline Today.
Wlieat buyers, who were active the
first of the week, were generally out of
the market yesterday when prices took a
harp drop. Bids on all grade were re
duced 4 cents at the Merchants exchange.
The coarse grain market was also in
active. Gray oats ud corn were II lower
and others were unchanged.
Declines of SI a ton in rolled oats, rolled
barley, scratch feed and whole- and
racked corn, effective this morning, were
announced by local mills.
The Kansas state crop report says wheat
made good growth during the week. Sev
eral sections in the southwest are making
too rapid progress and might result In
making too much straw and not enough
grain t narvest. This will be aided now
with cold weather retarding weeds. Mini
mum amount of damage done by cold
weather, together with disappointing ex
port demand for the past few days will
arert a further depression In value.
The Price Current says: "Soil conditions
reported almoat entirely favorable. Baaing
on the government term around 100 per
cent., the estimated per cent comparison
of growth and condition of winter wheat
Is: Ohio 86. Indiana 95. Illinois 99, Missouri
96, Iowa 66. Nebraska 95, Kansas 96, Ok
lahoma 95."

The demand for poultry and country

This carried May np to 6.60c and July to

HEAVY SELLING OF SPECIAL
ISSUES AT rECLIXES.
International Harvester, American
Linseed and International Paper
Objects of Bear Attacks.
NEW YORK, March SO. The hopeful
feeling created yesterday by the increased
American Telephone dividend rate and
signs of greater Industrial activity were
dispelled today, extensive selling of spe
cial issues at net reactions of two to ten
points, unsettling the general list.
Shares under greatest pressure com
prised those of companies which rumor
associated with new financing or dividend
revision, including International Harvester,
American Linseed and International Paper.
Aside from the motor Industry, weekly
reviews of the iron and steel trade failed
to sustain the belief that any pronounced
increase of demand for fabricated prod
ucts Is under way.
Average quotations were at lowest
levels In the last half hour, the reaction
being accelerated by an unexpected rise
In call money from 6ft to 7 per cent.
This was attributed to withdrawal of
funds required to meet payments matur
ing tomorrow, the end of the year's first
quarter.
Sales amounted to 663,000 shares.
The foreign exchange market was un
usually active, decided strength being
shown.
Liberty Issues closed at fractional gains
and Paris 6s strengthened, but Pennsyl
vania 6tes made a new low at 96 and
other prominent bonds were irregular. To

FARMERS' WEAKENS
ALL CEREALS AT CHICAGO.
Crop Prospects Are Generally Fa
vorable and Sew Export Busi-1
ness Is Lacking.
CHICAGO, March 80. Grain underwent
a severe setback in price today, largely
as a result of liquidation onthe part of
rural holders of corn. Wheat closed heavy,
35ftc net lower, with May $1.39K1.40
and July tl.2iei.21V Corn lost 2ftt?2fte
to Zc and oats lfteto to lftc pro
visions gained 5c to 80c
Bearish sentiment also was emphasized
owing to the nearly complete absence of
new export business in wheat.
All deliveries of corn and oats dropped
to tne lowest prices, yet lor the present
crop.
Packers' buying- rallied provisions.
The Chicago market letter received yes
terday by the Overbeck & Cooks company
of Portland said:
Wheat Practically all crop advices re
ceived from the country today dissipated
fears of damage due to the recent freexe
and this had much to do with the day's
weakness. Another depressing factor was
the sluggishness of demand in all markets
which found reflection in reduced premi
ums. Considerable of the selling of fu
tures here was credited to Minneapolis
interests, where cash wheat was quoted
weak and 6 cents lower than yesterday.
It seems that alt sections of ths country
are finding more wheat in first hands than
any one believed possible a few months
ago and evidence Is not lacking that the
bulk of It will be pressing on the mar
ket because of the favorable outlook for
the new crop. Early messages from the
seaboard reported the foreign demand at
a standstill and that Italy had bought
wheat In Argentina at 4 cents leas than
our prices The market is badly In need
of something constructive to stimulate
confidence in values and until such ap
pears, lower prices are apt to be re
corded. Corn It. was an active market at sharp
ly reduced prices with a considerable part
of the selling attributed to country hold
ers of cash who have lately withheld
liquidation of their holdings In antici
pation - of higher prices. An outstanding
factor at the moment is the poor commer
cial demand for spot .offerings. In con
sequence of which ths major portion of
the receipts are being taken by elevator
Interests and hedged In the pit. This sit
uation presages lower prices regardless
of whether or not the present level seems
relatively too low.
Oats Declined to the lowest levels on
the crop In sympathy with wheat and corn
and ignoring such bullish arguments as
the improved demand from the east and
light country offerings. Cash prices were
about ft cent lower, but the spot trading
basis about ft cent higher. Crop reports
continued generally favorable, , .
Rye Further selling by seaboard Inter
ests depressed prices for rye futures Cash
rye waa relatively steady with sales ot
No. 2 on track at $1.44. There is no evi
dence of an export demand In sufficient
volume to counteract the Influence of the
weakness In other grains
