TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN. TUESDAY. APRIL 12, 1921
V
E
Little Buying Is Done by Ore'
gon Dealers.
PRICES OFFERED ARE LOW
Growers Inclined to Hold Back the
iXew Clip for Later Development.
Foreign Situation Cnfavorable.
A fr
Icked i
mall lota of mohair are belnf
ricked up at different point In the val
ley, but there la nothing- Ilka the activity
there should be at thla time of year.
Loal dealers are offering growers 17
cent. Occasionally a country storekeeper
will pay a cent or two more in trade for
small quantity.
No orders have come In from the east
ern mills, which usually operate heavily
In Oregon hair. Most of the bis mills
Aave mohair carried over from last year,
som. of which erst them 60 cents a pound.
They are also carrying- large stocks of
manufactured goods, tor which there Is
no market.
Th. mohair situation abroad Is no bet
tor than in the United States, as is shown
fey the following extraclsa from a letter
from Bradford, ngland, to the Oregon
Angora Journal:
"Wa ahould say that never In Its his
tory, certainly not for the past 25 years,
&as the mohair trade been In such a help
less condition as It Is today. During the
war, even when there was a big rush for
. khaki, consumption of mohair was de
cidedly better than is the case today, and
it la painful to think that even during
the boom following the war, while there
certainly was a marked Improvement, the
consumption of mohair never reached any
thing like a pre-war level.
"Nobody disputes the general usefulness
of the article, but with German exchange
till being In the neighborhood of 234
marks to the English pound It Is hardly
likely that there will be any marked Im
provement in the purchase of mohair yarns
from Bradford spinners. We dare aay that
If any firm was prepared to sell mohair
yarns on the basis of 150 marks to the
pound a big business could be done, and
while no doubt there are a few flrma who
would be prepared to accept business on
a more favorable exchange than obtains
today. It is hardly likely that any firm
will do business at the rate mentioned.
"There is no disguising the fact that
the textile trade on the continent Is still
in a chaotic state, at least these condi
tions obtain In Russia and the Balkan
atates, where big quantities of mohair
yarns were consumed. German merchants,
as everybody knows, were by far Brad
ford's best customers for mohair yarns,
these being distributed over a wide area
In eastern Europe, but that trade is today
almost dead, and the best informed In
Bradford are of the opinion that there
can be no real revival until Russia. Ru
mania, Germany and other countries be
gin to purchase as in normal times. Mo
hair cannot be called a luxury, for prices
are "dirt" cheap, but the Inhabitants of
the countries named do not seem to be In
position to purchase clothing. '
"We have been asked by the editor of
the Angora Journal to give data regarding
the present stocks of raw mohair. The
figures given below may be relied upon
as being fairly accurate:
Bags 200 lba.)
Turkey In Asia Minor 80 0(H)
Turkey mohair in Bradford 13.000
Bales (500 lbs. )
Booth Africa 25.000
gouth African mohair In Bradford
and London .-..-. 4. 000
Bags and bales 124.000
"It will be seen from the above that
the stock of mohair waiting consumption
k. very large, far larger than was ever
known before. There Is also an uncon
warned stock In the United States of which
we have no particulars, but which must
be considerable.
"In addition to the above we are well
within sight of a new Cape clip and a
new dip in Turkey, the former of which
usually amounts to 23.000 bales snd the
latter about 50,000 bags. Of course there
must have been considerable mortality
among goats in Asia Elinor during the
war. and if we put the new clip at 35,000
bags which average 200 pounds each, the
reader will see that the trade Is more or
leas surfeited with mohslr.
"These unpalatable facts cannot give
any Inspiration to readers of this issue,
and while we regret that thia is so, facts
must be faced. We finish as we began,
xtamely, that in the opinion of experts
In Bradford, even the present low prices
rolinsT cannot atlmulate trade, and there
will kav. to bs more normal exchange
rates with the continent before business
Is resumed in mohair yarns on anything
like a pre-war basis.
WHEAT IS STILL, OS DOWX CBADE
Country Bids Reduced Another S Cents.
, Trading Small.
The wheat market had another sharp
drop and business slackened. Country
. bids were down 3 cents Most of the
farmers who had vheat on the market
Saturday and could not sell withdrew their
offerings yesterday. At the Merchants'
Exchange all bids were 2 cents lower than
Saturday, except on hard winter and
northern spring, which were down 1 cent.
A cable from Liverpool said: "The
British government has reduced the prices
for wheat aa follows: Manttobas, 6d to
la per quarter; other wheat, from Is to
2a 6d. Corn in Liverpool is firm, up 3d
per 100 pounds"
Accordlnj to a Vienna cable, a crop
failure in the grain areas from Budapest
to the Aeaean is e?nertert a. a ,,, I
to the Aegean is expected as a result of I
the long-continued drought, which literally
burned out the ground and prevented
winter wheat from developing.
Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported
by the Merchants Exchange as follows:

COAST BCTTEB MARKET HOLDS FIRM
Shlpmenta to Eastern Points Are Keeping
Surplus Down.
The San Francisco butter market was
firm throughout the entire week, with
practically no change in prices. The
eastern demand continued strong and,
with lnquiriea from the north and south,
desists stocks were well cleaned up. The
demand for ahlpplng caused cubes to be
very scarce and they sold at a premium
There was some uneasiness Wednesday
and Thursday due to the drop in New
York and Chicago, but shipments east
continued and averaged approximately
two cars a day from San Francisco and
country points Receipts show sn In,
crease over the previous week- Indicating
heavy production, but dealers expect out
side demand will take care of the surplus
for at least two weeks Latest available
reports show totsl cold storage holdings
In Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles snd San
Francisco as 411,406 pounds, as compsred
with 256,959 pounds in 1920.

til Wednesday. Prices advanced accord
lngly, but heavy receipts and withdraw;
of buying interests caused an accumula
tlon and started a reaction. However,
the fresh supply is limited and likely to
be so for some time. There was some
action In storage to avoid high prices, but
this supply of all grades Is very limited,
which means almost the entire demand
must be supplied- from current receipts.
The general opinion is that production
will not lr.-re.se fast enough for the de
m.Tid. Four cars of California butter ar
rived at New Tork and sold half a cent
under extras. Danish butter is becoming
short. The Friedrtch VIII Is due next
week, but reports aay she carries little or
no butter.
CANADIANS DEMAND OREGON EGGS
Buyers Offer Country Shippers tSH Cents
for Today' Receipts.
Orders from British Columbia for eggs
are putting the local market higher. Bids
of 22 V cent were aent out for shipments
to arrive today. Yesterday's receipts.
which were large, were taken at 21 cent!
There waa also Canadian inquiry for cube
butter and extras were aold at 37 to 38
cents
Poultry was scarce and the market was
firm. Heavy hens sold at 27 23 cents and
light springs at 23 cents
Country dressed meats were about
steady. Veal receipts are increasing.

FARMERS SELLING FBEELT

, LOWER AT CHICAGO.
Exporters Reported as Trying
to
Resell Xo Serloua Damage to
Crop' From Cold Wave.
CHICAGO, April 11. Wheat aPDroached
io me lowest level since January, lvio.
for the May delivery. It was said export
ers were trying to resell, snd that farm
ers were hauling more freely In Illinois,
Kansas and Nebraska. The market closed
heavy 2c to 5c net lower, with Alay
ki.au io si..iifa and ju v si.iuu
$1.10. Corn lost lc to 2c. oats
fee to llfcc. and provisions 121c to 42UC
Only a transie'nt slight upturn of wheat
prices resulted from the cold wave. .Buy
ing quickly subsided when Indications
pointed to absence of serious damage. Con
tinuance of hopes for a settlement of the
British coal strike tended further to give
an advantage to the bears, and proved
much more than an offset for drouth
news from Hungary. Roumania and Bul
garia. Signs of an enlarged domestic
movement from first handa gave an addi
tional impetus to the downward swing.
emphasized by big primary receipts and
by reports of s falling off in demand for
flour. July delivery did not breait
fast as May, but both months finished st
about the bottom figures.
Corn and oats showed stubborn resist
ance to bear pressure, but finally gave
way in sympathy with wheat. The fi
ness of feed a-ralns was ascribed to opin
ions that, unlike wheat, the oats crop had
perhaps been injured much by freezing
weather.
Lower Quotations on hogs and grain
tdbk sway support from provisions
The Chicago market letter received yes
terday' by the Overbeck ft Cooke company
of Portland said:
Wheat sold down to a new low level on
the crop, due more to lack of buying
power than to any prominent selling pres
sure. The pronounced weakness waa in
the May delivery, which naturally reit
the influence of bearish news Items, such
as reports of exporters trying to sell some
wheat, liberal offerings to arrive from the
country and the gloomy domestic flour
Ituation. A St. Louis message said in
terior mills which should be buying wheat
at this time are shipping considerable
back to that terminal for resale. This
simply emphasizes the depressed condl
tlon of that industry. Primary points re
ceived a total of 1.490.000 bushels
nesrly three times the totsl arrivals on
th, aamM riav last vear . Another bearish
factor was the decrease of only 56(1.000
bushels In the visible, with the possibility
of an Increase next week, if the move
ment continues large. Contrary to- ex
nectatlans. there were no complaints ot
damage resultinK from the latest freezin
temneratures. The news looks mucn too
bearish to justify the expectations of
nermanant advance In Drices.
Corn dragged steadily downward
throughout the session and displayed no
recuperative power of consequence. Cash
prices were lower, with futures on the
aama tradine- basis as Saturday. The im-
nrnvcmnnt on thA cash demand late last
week proved only temporary and was not
in evidence today. The light receipts last
week were reflected In s decrease of 180,-
000 bushels in the visible supply. Tne
reduction, however, was too small to be
a market factor, as the total Is now 82,-
716,000 bushels, against 5,504,000 bushels
a year ago. A turtner lowering or prices
seems the only logical expectation until
something occurs to revive confidence in
business conditions and stimulate a better
demand for the large supplies now avail
able.
Oats held with wheat better than ether
grains, due to .the report or consiaeraoie
damage having been done by the cold
weather. It la not expected to prove se
,tAi,s htif mav necessitate some reseedine.
Receipts were small and the spot trad-
lng basis lirm. Any .material improve-
ment in the demand would no doubt lino
quick reflection in the futures msrKet.

Gold Ridge Mining Company
(Pushes Development; X;w
Equipment Is Purchased.
GOLD HILL, Or., April 11. (Spe
cial.) Mark A. Appleg&te, A. J.
Armstrong; and E. W. Moore, mining
men of iledford, have taken a lease
on the Roaring Gimlet quart! gold
mine on Kanes creek, three miles
south of Gold Hill, and will begin
extensive development on the prop
erty at once. This old-time producer
of rich ore is owned by the Gimlet
Mining company, a corporation con
trolled by Fairmont, Ind.. capitalists
It was last operated In 1906 by the
present owners, and since that time
the old works, equipment and build
ings have gone to decay. This mine
adjoins the Gold Ridge gold mine,
which has also produced quite ex
tensively, but is of considerable In
terest to mining men In this region
the past few months, due to the recent
uncovering of a large body of ore
running from hundreds to thousands
of dollars In value to the ton.
The Gold Ridge Mining company of
Medford recently incorporated, and
owners of the Gold Ridge property
are pushing the development recently
commenced on the mine. The com
pany has purchased the 10-stamp mill
and equipment on the Bill Nye mine
in the Gold Hill district and will re
build it on the Gold Ridge at once.
The present equipment on the prop
erty Is a small-capacity mill driven
by gas engine, while the new equip
ment will be operated by electric
power.
It is reported that the Revenue
Pocket and Alice groups, two old
producers and adjoining properties to
the Gold Ridge, will be reopened under
leases. The Millionaire group, two
miles east of the Gold Ridge, has re
sumed under the management of Its
owners, C. A. Knight, who purchased
the mine two years ago from the lie
Kean National bank of Terra Haute,
Ind. This mine is a well-equipped,
property and has been idle for a num
ber of years, until the new owner
took it over, and in the meantime has
spent a large sum of money reopen
ing and re-equipping tne mine.
