TITO SUNDAY OREGOIAX PORTt-A, 5IAT 17, 1914.
CLIP IS GOING FAST
Sixty-Five Per Cent of Oregon
Wools Sold to Date.
BUYING HEAVY IN WEEK
All Scheduled Public Sales Win Prob
ably Be Abandoned Except Those
at Shaniko, Madras and
Pilot Rock.
Wool buyinp has been very heavj- In
Oregon, Washington and Idaho in the
past week. Buyers have taken hold
freely of both shorn and unshorn
wools.
In all parts of Eastern Oregon trad
ing1 has been on a laxse scale. A num
ber of good-sized clips changed hands.
The largest Individual sale during the
week was the clip of Lee Brothers, of
Baker, There were 23,000 fleeces in
this lot. but the price paid for it was
not made public. In general, ' choice
fine wools in that section sold at 17
cents and a fraction better, and coarse
grades brought one to two cents more.
Operations in the Central Oregon dis
tricts were not large.
It was estimated that by the close
of the week 5 per cent of the Oregon
clin had Daaaed out of grewers' hands.
It is now certain that all the wools
grown in Oregon will be cleaned up
before July 1.
Because of the rapid selling move
ment all the scheduled wool sales, it
is said, have been practically called
off, except those at Shaniko, Madras
and Pilot Rock. At the latter place
there will be a sale on Thursday, May
21, when about GO.OOQ pounds will be
offered.
Although ' the clip Is of excellent
quality, dealers figure that it will run
about 1,600,000 lighter than that of
last year. There has been a large
decrease In Wallowa County, where
they have 85,000 sheep this year,
against 120,000 a year ago. Other sec
tions also show decreases, but not so
heavy.
In Washington not over 500,000
pounds of wool is known to be un
sold. Western Idaho has passed
through an active contracting period
!n the past 10 days, buyers paying 15
and 16 cents.
BIO DEMAND FOR A I J, STKAWBKBKIES
Receipts Are J--arKeMt of Season anal Prices
Ara Good.
The strawberry market cleaned up
yesterday In good shape, although
l eceipts of Oregons were the, largest
nf the season. Prices for the most part
ranged between 2 and $2.25. Receipts
of California ' berries were large, 4400
'rates coming on tha street. A car of
these was loaded out for Seattle, and
that relieved the congestion. Florin
Dollars soil at U to ?1.25.
The season for California berries in
this market was thus brought to a
close. The Alamedas received during
the week turned out rather poorly.
Wither the weather was too hot when
they were loaded or the patches were
too ripe for long distance shipment.
At any rate, most of the berries were
on their last legs on arrival in Port
land, and when taken away from the
ice would not hold up. The last car
of Fresno berries of the season arrived
in bad condition, but the Dollars con
tinued to show good quality, - and
throughout the season have beep the
favorites for reshipment to the coun
try. Local berries are coming in now at
the rate of 500 to 600 crates per day.
This week two or three cars dally will
be coming from the Springbrook, Rex
and Xewberg districts.
These berries are in very strong
hands this season, and, while some of
the growers in former seasons have
lost money by lack of organization in
their marketing, it is expected that
they will recoup this year, as the ber
ries are showing fine quality, and
when not packed too high in the
crates will no doubt carry to British
Columbia in good shape. These berries
from the early districts around Port
land have completely shut out the Ken-
newiuk and Hood River berries from
this market.
XBW HOI'S HOUIiHT AT 14 CENTS
Government l'lfrurea Miow Kxports of Over
120.0OO Bales.
Nearly all the members of the hop
trade attended the meeting of the as
soclatlon at Salem yesterday and nq
business in the spot market was re
ported. The Uhlmanns have pontracted
for 40.000 pounds of the new crop with
a Chinese grower at 14 cents.
The Government reports hop exports
to England for the nine months ended
March 31 at 21.0a7.798 pounds and -ex
ports to ail countries at 22,850,979
pounds.
Bernhard Bing writes from Nurem
burg, under date of April 30. of market
and crop conditions in uermany:
"The stocks in our markets are not
large at all, and first-class green colored
hops are very scarce. 1 can safely
say that this quality of hops has shown
an advance of several marks. Should
this nice weather continue then we
shall seo still more activity and I can
predict with certainty that the stocks
of 1913 crop will be pructically sold out
by the beginning of the new crop.
'The warm weather also favored the
new plant, and the stocks stood the
Winter very well. Work in the hop
yards has been taken up ull around
and we all hope to get a large crop
this season, which we shall certainly
need.
ORANGES AN 1) IJSMON3 ABE 1'lKMKlt
Independent Bananas May Be on Market
This Week.
The orange market continues to dls
play a remarkable firmness and the
movement, considering the advent of
the strawberry season, is exceptionally
heavy.
The lemou market had a slight ad
Vance in the past wtek.
Florida grape fruit handlers have
taken such a bumping the past few
weeks that it resulted in a stoppage
of orders, which has enabled the mar
ket to clean up and put it in a healthy
tone again. There is a car in transit
from the Floweree Ranch, which it is
expected will bring around So.
There is a steady tone to the panan
market and in spite of the fact that
Vaccaro Bros, put a small train Into
Pugt Bound, and are figuring on ship
ping three or four cars to Portland in
the poming week. It is not expected
that there will be any war started
among the dealers, as their recent ex
perience in this line is too- fresh In
their memories.
WHEAT rMCliS ARK HOLDING STEADY
Strenslh East end Abroad Prevents Local
Market From FaliiBg.
While the wheat market was dull at
the cloee of the week, the strength of
the European and Eastern markets
held prices steadier than would other
wise have been the case. There was
only a limited demand. California Is
not bidding up strong, as the wheat
offered seems sufficient for ail pur
poses. Everyone who has a sack of
wheat en hand Is evidently now dis
posed to get rid of it. The Japanese
are also out of the market and will
probably remain out during the re
mainder of the season. Although the
demand for wheat is small, tt is likely
that stocks in the Northwest will be
entirely cleaned up before the new crop
comee.
Business in the barlev &od oats mar
kets is as dull as lra wheat. Dealers
quote oats at 33 and barley at 1S.50.
They may not be able to buy at these
price, but "they declare they cannot
pay more and sell at a profit. -

Six Cars of On Urn Received.
The movement in Texas and Califor
nia onions has been very heavy. Six
cars came to Portland in the past week.
There are very few en route, however,
and it is expected the markets will be
cleaned before any carlots of Stockton
reds arrive.
The coming week will wind up the
season for California cabbage, head
lettuce and peas. Asparagus, however,
has been short all season and is still
being brought from California in car
lots. A car is en route from San Fran
cisco for Portland, packed in pyramids
and flats.
Florida tomatoes recently have been
arriving in fine condition and the mar
ket is firm.
Upward Tendency o Egg Market.
Eggs were firm at the close of the
week with the demand fully equal to
the supply. The coming week may see
a further advance in the market.
Poultry reciepts were smaller than on
any day of the week, but were suffi
cient for the day's requirements. Prices
were steady and unchanged. Pressed
pork was easier and veal was steady.
Both were quoted at former prices. '
mere were no new developments In
the dairy produce markets.
Fotato Trade ' Slower.
Trade in the potato market has
slowed down again. Los Angeles, San
ranciaco and fetockton are overstocked
and that affects the shipping demand
here. The market, however, is expected
to recover in a few days. New pota
toes are in good demand and steady.

NEW' YORK. Mav 18. The mast
direct influence brought to bear on the
stock market today was from abroad.
lxmaon opened with selling there by
Paris, which, in turn, was attributed
to unsatisfactory financial conditions
in Russia. American stocks were de
pressed sharply in London. Specula
tion here, was lifeless and at the open
ing the list followed the line of least
resistance by easing- off to about the
level reached in the English market.
At the lower range, better demand
arose, and the decline was quickly can.
celed.
The movement thereafter was nar
row and variable, with a majority of
slight losses at the end.
The bank statement did not come up
to expectations. A large cashgain
had been predicted, but the amount
Shawn in the aotuai table was less than
$3,000,000. The loan expansion of f 22,
7a3.000 reflected the large syndicate
operations of the week.1 The ' surplus
reserve fell elf by nearly J2. 000,006.
Trading in bonds was Quiet. The
course of prices was irregular. Some
strengta appeared in Rock Island col
laterals. Total sales of bonds f10,000.
United States 8s registered advanced
Vi on call on the week.
Encouragement came to the finan
cial community this week from sev
eral sources. When the advance in
stocks halted, there was little . dis
position to give ground. The sustained
prospects for crops of record size, bet
ter feeling In the ateel trade and hope
01 avoiding lurther entanglement in
Mexico were features.
Steel trade authorities based their
new-found hopefulness on anticipation
of better things rather than on actual
improvements. These vlewa had little
tangible basis to go on, but the stock
market's decisive response to the senti
ment worked back to confirm it in the
iraae.
Relief came from patching up of
weak positions in the London market.
There were intimations of the early
issue of a f -loo, 000,000 French gov
ernment loan, which has long' been
awaited for breaking decisively the
deadlqck 1n foreign Investment
markets. Outgo of gold from New York

FACES TO MATCH GOWNS
Milwaukee Girls Go One Better on
" Paris' Latest Styles.
MILWAUKEE. Wis.. May 12 -Pooh
for the green wigs of Paris, or the red
wigs, blue wigs, purple, or crushed
strawberry effects in head draperies!
Milwaukee has Paris looking pale
mauve when it comes to a freak fad.
Swains hereabout now address their
Duleineaa, saying: "Ah. Imoarene. -
adore your sweet, Sevres blue counte
nance!" or, ""Precious Alice, how ex
quisite is the mandarin yellow tint of
your fair faoe!" Qr, "Deborah, thrill
ing is the spectacle of your purple
cheek!" Or, "Gretchen, your violet
map certainly gets me!"
The answer to this is that Milwau
kee girls have gone in for the use of
face powders colored to match their
dresses. Just now a lovely shade of
lavender has the call.

NEWPORT, Or.. May 1. (Special.)
The prospect for a big Summer sea
son at .Newport has never been so good
as this year, according to John M.
Scott, general passenger a sent of the
Southern Pacific lines in Oregon, who.
wun w. . Jenkins, traveling passen
ger agent, and John H. Stevens, super
intendent of the Corvallls & Eastern
Railroad, visited Newport the latter
part of last week.
'My trip is one of inspection to eee
what progress has been made in the
re-construction of the Corvallis & Eas
tern Railroad and what improvements
have taken place In Newport since my
ast visit almost a year ago, ' said Mr.
Scott. "I am much pleased w-ith my
observations.
With half of the Corvallia & Eas
tern road reballasted and the other
half laid with 75-pound rails and all
bridges renewed, the Southern Pacific
s ready to give improved service, not
surpassed on the Coast.
"The Yaquina Bay train will carry
an observation parlor car of the type
used on the Shasta Limited. The sched
ule will be cut an hour in each direc
tion between Albany and. Yaquina and
tne rerryooat Newport with its new
engine has reduced its running time
la minutes between laquina and New
port, so that we believe there will be
no harsh criticism this year by vaca-tionists.-
"The first excursion was by the Ore
gon Agricultural College today. The
Sunday excursions commence tomorrow,
and the second or noon train will com
mence early in June, when the fast
schedule will go into effect."
