SLOWWQDLMARKET
Charles
H. Green Does Not
Look for Active Buying.
FUTURE PRICES UNCERTAIN
Dealers' Agent.- Begin to Make Their
Appearance in Eastern Oregon.
Revised Uht of Sealed
Bid Sales.
Charles H. Green, representing Kobh
land Bros., the beat kncuvn wool buyer
tvIio visits the Is'orthwest, reached Port
land yesterday from California, on his
annual buying tour, and will proceed to
IJastern OroRon Monday. Mr. Green
looks for & slow wool market this Spring.
J la suid:
"Wool is very dull In the East, and
what fw sales are being made are at
concession. The slump in values at the
Tendon sales have not had a great deal
of effect on prices, as the decline was
anticipated.
"Prices are more or less nominal now,
and no one is in a position to say what
the market will be. Manufacturers are
not buying except to fill their immediate
wants. Values are now about 15 to 20
per cent lower than they were last year.
Quotations will not be fixed In this state
until after the middle of May, when the
scheduled sales began. Most of the East
ern Oregon clip will be offered at the
regular sales and prices will be estab
lihhed there.
"No buying Is going on in the South,
and California and Nevada growers are
shipping their wool East on consign
ment.' Other wool buyers are making their
appearance In Eastern Oregoh, and In a
short time, the 1WS season will be on.
Among the buyers already at Pendleton
are Jacob Slieuerman and Frank Lee,
the lattur a buyer who usually maintains
headquarters at Heppner, and within a
short time E. J. Burke, buyer for Judd
k Root, and other members of the wool
buying corps will reach that city.
Eastern Oregon papers say the sheep
men are not disheartened by the bearish
forecasts of the trade, for while they an
ticipate lower prices than last season,
they feel that there will still be need of
their clips. "We will have a far better
grade of wool this season," declared J.
M. Keeney, of the Cunningham Company,
In speaking of the outlook to the East
Oreonlan. "The open Winter and the
general favorable conditions have caused
this, and the Umatilla County wool will
be far ahead of what it was last year,
fcio we are not 'skeered.' "
Throughout the country the lambing
season is now well under way and the
conditions so far are said to have beep
Ideal. At the Cunningham place, the J.
E. Smith ranch and some other large
concerns lambing has been on all during
March. So far there has been a complete
abbinco of cold weather and snow that
times comes in March and which sheep
men fear.
The revised list of wool sales dates for
the coming season follows: May 23, Ar
lington: May 2o. Pendleton; May 2J, Pilot
Iork: May 15), Heppner; Juno 2, Shaniko;

I'INfT! TUNti ON THJK HOP MARKKT
bmy farmer Are Golfing VVroi Advice
This Yewr.
"Wo are not short on hops for next
year.' said li. H. Pincus, of Tacoma. at
the Belvedere Hotel yesterday, "and to
prove this assertion we will take 2kk)
bales good growths, one year at SVa cents.
The tat Unit dealers g'-erally are nink
lug contracts for a term of three years
t S. i) and .10 cents, and some as high
iih W cents straight for three to live
ears, proves they are not sincere when
llicy ndvisn farmers to plow up on the
grounds that there are enough hops on
bund to supply the requirements for the
coming year, even if the 1915 crop is only
one-third of Its normal size.
"All the large dealers are busy cultl
ating their own yards and advising the
f:iriners to plow up. The farmers can
ry easily verify this by looking at the
dealers' yards in their own sections. The
fanners in the lu.it three scars did not
make a mistake in growing hops, hut In
holding them."
The Hubbard correspondent of the
"Wood hum Independent informs his paper:
";. J. Wolfer is (celling his hop-poles from
hia hupyard and turning the Imps under.
1 le intends to put something In the
ground that will bring him in some cash
Instead of losing money. The outlook
for prices of hops for 1WS is not so bright
as it was for l:07. It is predicted by some
that hops will nell for less than 2c, per
pound for the V.VS crop. A farmer could
make more off of potatoes at 25 cents
per bushel than off hops at from 2c to 5c."
Some of the latest English trade re
ports are here given:
Cattley, Gridley & Co., London. There
Is very little doing on the market at the
present time, almost exclusive attention
being given to the government licensing
proposals. At the same time, some cheap
offers have been aect pted which have re
lieved the market of a few of the longer
lots. Foreign markets are unaltered, and
very little doing for England.
Wilde, Neame fc Co., London Interest
on our market is chiefly centered In the
opposition being effectively organised
Against the government's proposed iiiens
1ug legislation, and meitnwhile trade Is
practically ut a standstill.
n.ACKNTI V C.VBDAC.E. PLOWED VNDKR
irHn Solve tb Problem of lofting the.
Market.
A letter from Eos Angeles yesterday
said half of the cabbage crop had been
plowed under because of the poor demand
and low prices. The- plowing-under had
a. beneficial effect on prices, as the mar
ket has already advanced 25 cents and
has an upward tendency. A club car, of
cabbages was received here yesterday.
Hix cars of oranges arrived during the
day and plenty more are coming along
next week, but the demand is active and
- prices rule strong. Apples are moving
well at steady prices. It is evident that
most of the cheap apples are at last in,
and the trade wilt now be enabled to
draw on Its storage supplies.
LOCAL PLOnt STEAOY AT DECLINE
Kiport Still Hoping for Kvival of Ori
ental Demand.- -
The local flour market has become
steady at the reduction of 15 cents per
barrel, which is now general, and buying
Is fairly active.
Tlie export flour trade continues quiet,
but millers are looking for, some demand
soon, and should the steamship lines
grant a lower rate to-the. Orient, it-might
Induce the buyers on the other side to
take hold. Some of the mills on the
Sound are said to be stocking up In an
tMpathm of a revival in trade, and this
ueeounts for the high prices being offered
for wheat. Little business in wheat is
blng transacted, however, as the ma
j'riiy of farmers are asking several
cents more than even the-'millei will
pa?'. - . . -y 4 1 - - -''r .-
The 'Yokohama Chamber of Commerce
reports that Japan's flour milling indus
try has of late shown great growth and
improvement which baa affected foreign
imports. In the latter half bf last year
the demand was mostly supplied by the
home product,, our milling industry hav
ing -effected striking development since
the Spring last year, so that It Is now in
a position to furnish the market with an
ample supp!y of flour, no less superior
to" the imported article. The newly-
started factories are all enjoying un
usually prosperous business. Especially
promising is the condition of the Masuda
Flour Mill, at Hyogo.
Yklmitf Wool of line Quality.
NORTH YAKIMA, March 28. (Spe
cial. ). Wool is- arriving in the . city
dally from the ranges and owing1 to
the favorable season for the sheep, the
f leeeea are of very super ioc quality.
Wool' buTers now here adopt a very
pessimistic tone regarding; the outlook
in the wool market, but the sheepmen
say it is always thus when the season
opens and that they will get good
prices later. .
Krg Market Is Still Firm. '
There is stil a good outside demand
for eggs, which keeps the local market
in firm shape. Poultry cleaned up well
yesterday. There were no new develop
ments In the butter situation.

NKW YORK, March 28. The state

$39,788,525 more than the requirements

The percentage of actual reserve of
the clearing-house banks at the close
of business yesterday was 28.18. The
statement of banks and trust compa
nies of Greater New York not mem
bers of the clearing-house shows that
these institutions have aggregate de
posits of $796,755,500; total cash on
hand $57,339,200, and loans amounting
to $812,982,100.
The Financier saj's:
"There was a wide - discrepancy In
the report of averages of the Now York
clearing-house banks for the . week
ending March 28. and the report of
actual business of the same institution
at the close of business Saturday, the
summary of averages indicating a gain
of over $4,000,000 in cash and a very
moderate expansion In loans, whereas
the actual condition of banks at the
close of the week showed an expansion
of $15,354,000 in loans and an increase
of $16,898,500 in deposits, and instead
of- a gain ot several million dollars in
cash, an actual loss of $580,200 in this
item. The loss in cash is traceable
probably to the item of Government
deposits, -which were decreased $4,771,
Soo during the. week by the return of
public funds to the Treasury, and also
to-changes incident to the opening of
the Knickerbocker Trust Company.
The increase in loans was due in part
to some renewed activity in specula
tion, although the whole statement
was affected in a measure by the re
sumption of operations by the Knicker
bocker Company.
The statement of state banks and
trust companies in Greater New York
not reporting to the New York -Clearing-house
showed an enormous expan
sion of $37,642,000 in loans and $39.
546,400 in net deposits, these changes
being due. of course, to the inclusion
of the report of the re-opened trust
company. The increase in specie and
legal tenders held by the state banks
and trust companies, however, showed
a gain of only $3,748,700. The actual
reserve held by the New York Clearing-house
on Saturday was 28.18, the
reserve held by the state banks was
23.52 and by the trust companies 28.30
per cent.
The flow of money from the Interior
continues at large volume, the reserve
movement on account of Spring crop
requirements not being in evidence.

STRAIN ON MARKET
Stock Prices. Give Way Under
Selling Pressure.'
ATTACK BY THE BEARS
Situation Is Aggravated by the
I'lotation of a. New Mining Is
sue on the Curlj Bonds
Are Firm.
NEW YORK. March a. The stock mar
ket today showed quite plainly the strain
of the attempt to keep up prices which
hag been persisted in during the week in
the face of some natural tendency to
wards reaction, growing put. of the dis
position to take profits on the consid
erable advance already' 'achieved -since
the rise set in.
The character of the market was ag
gravated by an extraordinary movement
in the curb market, where a new milling
stock 'was introduced after a preliminary
flourish of the advertising trumpet,
which has been going on for several days
past. Accusations of manipulative oper
ations on the stock exchange in the last
few days, with the object of furthering
the curb flotation, found voice in the cur
rent discussion in the market and con
tributed appreciably to the disposition
of the professional element to attack the
market.
The metal industrials, especially those
connected with the copper industry, were
especially vulnerable, owing to the sym
pathetic relation they were supposed to
bear to the exploitation in the outside
market. There was a sharp recurrence
of pressure also on Union Pacific, owing
to the revised effeat of the proposed
scheme of financing announced by the
company earlier in the week. The nature
of the selling of United States Steel
stocks made an appeal to the reactionary
sentiment, owing to suspicions that the
selling came from Informed and influen
tial sources.
Moderate resistance was shown to
the depression at times, some support
centering on - Northern Pacific. The
passage of the Aldrich bill by the
Senate made a good Impression, but
the action had been expected and led
to some, realizing sales.
Mercantile agencies reported some
revival of Spring trade on conservative
lines. Additional curtailment in New
England mills was a counteracting In
fluence. Last prices were not far from
the lowest.
The statement of banking averages
for the week was much more favorable
than .of the actual condition of the
Clearing-house institutions on Friday
night. The $37,642,000 loan increase
reported by the Institutions outside the
Clearing-house is connected with the
resumption during the week of the
Knickerbocker Trust Company. An an
nouncement that caused' much grati
fication was that the last oS the Clearing-house
certificates outstanding since
the financial crisis which developed on
October 26 had been retired.
Bonde were firm. Total sales par
value $1,446,000. United States fours
registered have declined hi per cent on
call during the week.

Excellent Condition, but
in "eed of Kain.
CHICAGO. March 2S. Buying by com
mission bouses, based on small receipts

declined more than Vic from the high

in excellent condition. The market
closed weak. May opened unchanged to
4c higher at 94.394c, sold up to 9V,i.
declined to 92c and closed at 93'4c.
Liberal realizing sales by a leading
holder caused weakness in the corn mar
ket, the May delivery showing a loss of
l4c from the high point of the day. May
closed weak at 65?4S''c. '
Oats were weak in sympathy with
wheat and com. May opened unchanged
at G4c, sold off to 5Sc and closed at
