NEW WOOLS TftKEH
AT STEADY PRICES
First Seated Bid Sale to Be
at Pilot Rock June 1.
GROWERS OFFER SLOWLY
Dealers Look for Improvement, but
Not In Immediate Future.
Government Sale Today.
Tba first sealed bid wool sale In Oregon
this season will be held at Pilot Rock on
Juns 1. according to word received by
local wool dealers yesterday.
The market during the past week con
tinued quiet. There was a little buying in
Washington, at previous prices and some
business in Idaho, but there was nothing
doing in eastern Oregon. The only sale
announced in that section to date was the
Sniythc clip-at Pilot Rock. The price In
this deal is still a matter of guesswork,
but if the Quotation generally talked of,
184 cents, is correct. It is the highest
price that has been paid so far this
son In any Dart of the country.
TTtah advices are that three-fourths of
the clio of that state has already been
sold or consigned. The top price paid for
Utah wools was 17 cents. There has also
been considerable business in the new clip
in Nevada.
While local wool men are Inclined to be
optimistic, they fear it will be some time
yet before any marked improvement in
the situation develops. There la a great
deal of liquidation yet to be accomplished
and it may be several months before the
market gets on a stable basis.
Thexe will be a sale of 3.000.000 pounds
of government wool at Boston today. Thess
woU are of such grade that they do not
especially compete with domestic wools,
being suitable chiefly for the carpet mill
trade, and will doubtless sell at very low
prlcv-s.
At the resumption of wool auctions
Australia there was a good clearance at
each day's sale. At Melbourne the Con
tinent and Yorkshire were the -rinclpal
operators, and" at Sydney Japan wa3 tak
ing the best merinos, with England and
the Continent taking fair quantities. Prices
for the best 70s warp wools were about
85c. clean landed 'basis, taking exchange
at $4, while 64-70s of the same type could
be boueht around 80c. Good 4s combing
wools were bought at 83 6 70c and cr Ice
top making sorts at about 55i60c Good
half-blood wools were to bo had at 50(i?S3c
' clean landed basis, and low half-blood
pieces at about 43c for the best lots.
At the River Plate England, Germany
and France have been buying more freely
during the past fortnight, and 't is re
ported even that some buying has been
done for America at low rates with the
intention of holding the wool for Impor
tation until after the permanent tariff Is
enacted. It is possible to import good
standard 4s and Ss from Argentina at lie
cost and freight, or perhaps even less, ac
cording to Boston trade reports.
Statistics just issued by the department
i of commerce show the Imports of -rool
into the United States during the first
three months of lOi'l amounted to 102.
158, 54B pounds, compared with 101.083,
107 pounds during the corresnond'ng three
months of 1020. an increase of 60 per cent.
On the other hand, figures recently pub
lished by the British government show
that the imports of wool into the United
Kingdom during the first three months of
the current year amounted to 1112.063.800
pounds, compared with 208.170.000 pounds
during the same period of 1920, a decreass
of 7 per cent.
Although the imports of wool into the
United States during the first two months
of 1921 were about 3.000.000 poupds less
than for the same period of 1920, the im
ports during the month of March wers
63,071,167 pounds greater than for the
month of March, 1020. 'The rush to get
wool inside the customs districts in antici
pation of a tariff is largely responsible
for the large imports during the first
three months of the year.
the demand was good and they cleaned
np early at $393.80 a crate. The Califor
nia berries that arrived were in generally
poor condition.' The best brought $4.23.
A shipment of loquats was received and
sold at 15 cents a pound.

Money Market Is Firmer.
NEW YORK, May 24. Readjustment of
quoted values in conformity with sus
pended or reduced dividends made further
progress in the stock market today.
Among the shares which today entered
the list of non-dividend payers were Cen
tral Leather preferred and Remington
Typewriter first and second preferred.

Pools endeavored to enlist public. Inter
est by their support of some of tne oils,
tobaccos, chemicals and other specialties.
These efforts were abandoned when pres
sure became too general.
Central Leather preferred made an ex
treme decline of St points, the .common
losing 4. Remington Typewriter lost 714
and Baldwin Locomotive, Harvester, Beth

Pierce Arrow, American Woolen," Royal

cases, final quotations were within frac
tions of the day's low. Sates amounted to
800.000 shares.
The money market reversed .its usual
course, opening easy but rising to 7 per
cent for call loans before midday. This
was attributed to heavy withdrawals by
the federal reserve bank, necessitating
calling of loans. Foreljfh exchange was
heavy at the outset, but strengthened on
news of the Sllesian truce.
Liberty 3Hs exceeded all previous mini
mums at 87.70 and others of that group
wore irregular. Some foreign issues were
strengthened by the probable success of the
new French offering, but the general
tone of the bond list was uncertain. Total
sales, par value, $14,750,000.

LOCAL WHEAT BIDS UNCHANGED
Country Buying Reported Light Trade
Awaiting Further Developments.
No change was made in wheat bids ai
the Merchants Exchange yesterday, not'
withstanding the sharp advance at Chi
cago. Country trading was reported light,
as buyers are holding back, waiting to see
what course the market takes when the
crop scare subsides.
Business was also restricted In the
coarse grain division. Oats and barley
were unchanged and corn was 75c$1.50
higher on bid.
John IngllB crop report says: "Ne
braska Hastings to Lincoln, wheat los
ing ground, does not respond to ytln 01
weather conditions, losing color; some
good wheat near Dorchester and Crete
Ccm where up shows good stand. Oats
fairly good; now hot and forcing."
Cromwell reports the western Nebraska
crop In good shape, but central and east
em may make only fair and slightly under
average yield.
Le Count reported from Moberly,- Mo.:
"Going north from Sedalia plant is gen
erally scaly, spindly and small; oats the
same."
Crops around Great Falls, Mont., are
looking fine.
Terminal receipts, in cars, were -reported
by the Merchants Exchange as follows:

CHICAGO, May 24. Crop failure news
from Nebraska sent the wheat market
soaring today, although earlier a decided
break in values had taken place. The
close was flurried, 5c to 7c net higher,
with May $1.73 to $1.73 and July
$1.34 to $1.34. Corn gained 2c to
3c and oats 2o to 3c In provisions
the outcome varied from -unchanged to
10c advance.
Reports that the Nebraska wheat crop
is showing the, same morbid discolora
tion that has of late been characteristic
in" Kansas brought about a wave of buy
ing after midday and made sellers hard
to find. The central and eastern parts
of Nebraska were said to be especially
affected and to be making no improve
ment where there had been favorable
weather. Heat and drought which pre
vailed elsewhere ovec the greater part of
the wheat belt counted further as an .
Incentive toward higher prices at the last.
The May delivery fluctuated over an
unusually wide range, a maximum of
13 c, but business In that month was
relatively small. Scattered snorts bid up
May, Although caeh wheat was com
manding only about a delivery basis for
most grades.
Corn and oats ascended with wheat.
Trade in corn showed much more activity
than 'has been the rule.
In provisions the effect of lower quota
tions on hogs was more than counter
balanced at the last by the strength of
grain.
The Chicago market letter received yes
terday by the Overbeck & Cooke company
of Portland said:
WHEAT It was a big broad market
with the predictions of showers for the
southwest soon forgotten, after the dip
early in the day. Bullish sentiment was
rampant and the trade gave more atten-
tion to the reports of crop deterioration
coining from Kansas than to any other
news. The tact that tne crop eisewnere i:
in good condition apparently meant noth
ing, as the idea seems to prevail tnat
period of high-temperatures will be fol
lowed by reports of the crop going back
in otner states tne same as it naa in Kin
sas. This, of course. Is entirely fheoret
leal and leaves the situation dependen
upon weather conditions. The immediate
supply and demand sltuatie'n looks more
bearish than for montns, m tnat it is no
much easier to buy wheat in the country
than sell It for export shipment or for
domestic use.
CORN After displaying uneasiness
early in the day, an oversold condition
was disclosed and prices advanced rapidly
without any particular incentive except
that receivers reported country offerings
had diminished on the break. This gave
confidence to those bullishly incltned that
the country holder will not sell in vol
ume except as market advances offer more
attractive prices. Early sales of casn
corn were at cash prices, but before the
close sales were made at 2 cents ad
vance. It is likely there will be a mate
rial Increase in country offerings over
nieht.
OATS Trade was mixed early in the
day. but developed pronounced strength
later in syTnpathy with other grains and
on buying Induced by crop advices telling
of poor prospeuts in many localities. Cash
nrices were 2c higher and the spot trad
ing basis firm. Increased country selling
is looked for on anvvfurther bulge.
RYE Seaboard interests were again
conspicuous buyers of futures and reports
suggest that a sizeable amount or export
business was being worked. One cargo
of 235.000 bushels was confirmed as hav-
ine- been sold for foreign shipment. Cash
rye was steady at May price for No. 2
on track.
