HNE WOOL 50 CENTS
Buyers Freely Offering Price
in Eastern Oregon.
MARKET GREATLY EXCITED
Sales Daring Week at Echo, Hepp
ner, Pilot Rock and Pendleton.
Growers Now Ask TTp to
60 Cents.
The- wool market la Eastern Oregon is
strong and excited. Buyers are steadily
advancing; their bids and the demand was
never keener than it Is now. The only rea
son there is not more business passing; is
because growers are more bullish than buy
ers. The entire clip could be sold out in 24
flours, according- to leading members of the
trade, if sheepmen would take ..the prices
offered them..
Bids of 80 cents for fine wool were freely
made In the latter part of the week, and
in some sections even more was offered. A
dozen clips of fine wool In the Echo. Pilot
Rock. Heppner and Pendleton sections were
old at 60 cents. The total business for the
week amounted to about 200,000 pounds, a
very small total considering the urgency of
the demand. It la evident the bulk of the
clip will be held for the regular sales days.
Coarse wools have been more or less neg
lected. Growers are asking 55 60 cents
for these, and some also want the same
prices for fine wools.
The wool is coming off In excellent shape,
and buyers declare the staple la better than
for many years past. The fleeces are aver
aging about a pound more than last year.
Shearing has been materially delayed by cold
weather and probably not more than 10 per
cent as much wool has been shorn as one
year ago.
Similar market conditions prevail in South
ern Idaho. Washington is being gradually
cleaned up, and in the Ellensburg section
practically all the wool has passed out of
first hands.
"Wool merchants In the East are figuring
an a bare market by the time the new
Western clip is available there, and as the
ownership of a good part of the domestic
clip has already been transferred to manu
facturers, they are facing a short period of
activity. A late trade report from Boston
says:
"With the foreign sources of wool offer
ing nothing further. It Is figured that deal
ers will have little to offer by the time the
1917 domestic clip becomes available In
quantity. Several houses already have their
lofts nearly empty, according to report, es
pecially of the grades most In demand at
present. When the domestic clip does begin
to move, however, the situation of stocks
will be aggravated by the fact that consid
erable wool under contract by dealers, that
Is. supplies which they secured originally
had been transferred to mill Interests before
shipment from the West, Indeed, previous
to shearing. Thus, with Imported stocks
down to a low ebb. It looks as though the
mount of domestic wool which dealers will
have for sale from the current clip will be
the lightest for years.
"Naturally the exceptionally heavy buying
f manufacturers has given them a good
supply of raw material upon which to work
for the time being. The extraordinary de
mands upon the trade, however, make these
supplies appear less than they would under
other circumstances, and the shortage of
wool now seems to be in a way to make
Itself more noticeable than It has to date.
The prospective lack of supplies indicates
that the future will bring with it a quiet
period in the wool market, unless the Aus
tralasian centers of production are allowed
to send something to this country, either
directly or via London. The trade has had
little to stimulate hope In this direction, but
would welcome favorable action at any time.
Advices from Great Britain recently have
Indicated that the English trade Is favor
able to the allotment of some wools under
the control of Its government to the United
States."
FLOUR PRICE IS AGAIN REDUCED
Forty-Cent Decline Is Announced
Local Millers.
by
The flour market declined 40 cents a bar
rel yesterday owing to the continued fall In
wheat prices. The new quotation on patents
Is 812.10. The total flour decline to date
has been $1.80 a, barrel. Local trade la
quiet.
aim lee a prices were readjusted to a
lower basis, the day's declines amounting
to 8498 a ton.
Wheat was dull and weak, with bids at
the Merchants' Exchange reduced 6 to 8
cents, 82.47 being offered for bluestem and
82.45 for club. These bids were evidently
lower than the condition of the market
justified, in spits of Its weakness, as 5000
bushels of June bluestem were sold on the
Seattle exchange at 82.57,
Oats and barley were inactive and bids
were unchanged from Friday.

Egg Market Closes Steady,
The egg market was steady at the close
f the week, with prices unchanged at
cents lor current receipts.
The butter market was also steady at last
prices.
Poultry receipts cleaned up with a good
demand for large hens at 20 cents. Small
broilers were lower at 16ft 3 7 cents, but large
sizes were taken at 20 21 cents. Dressed
meats were unchanged.
Small Movement In Hops.
In spite of the uncertain condition of the
Eastern brewing trade and the possibility
that Deer making may be stopped entirely,
there Is still a little business being done in
hops. Only small lots were taken and the
prices paid ranged from 4 to 6 cents.
Not many hops remain in growers' hands,
but there is a large stock of English con
tract goods stored In warehouses.
Soap Prices Climbing.
Sharp advances In a number of Eastern
brands of soaps and washing powders were
reported yestertfay. The strength of the
soap market la a reflection of the abnor
mally high grease prices now prevailing.
Several of the Eastern soap manufacturers
have withdrawn quotation! until they can
be adjusted to the new level.
CONSERVATISM IS STRONGLY ADVISED
Joint Council of Fruit Trade Studies War
Legislation.
The big Eastern fruit trade organizations,
comprlslpg in their membership practically
the entire body of fruit and produce mer
chants throughout, the United States. In
cluding the National League of Commission
Merchants of the United States. International
Apple Shippers' Association and the West
ern Fruit Jobbers' Association of America,
have appointed a Joint council, consisting of
the presidenand secretary of each of the
organizations, the duty of which is to watch
the legislative developments at" Washington
and to co-operate with the Government In
matters pertaining to the business of the
distribution of perishables. The report of
the Joint council summarizes the legislation
now before Congress and says:
"The Joint council feels that we should be
of all possible service in the emergencies
now before our country and that we should
co-operate In every possible way to keep the
channels of trade open and business active.
We also feel it to be our duty In view of
the many existing uncertainties to advise

MORROW COUNTY OUTLOOK IS GOOD
Rain Help Wheat and Sheep Fleeces Are
Unusually Heavy.
HEPPNER. Or.. May 26. (Special.)
Morrow countjre prospects lor the wheat
crop are excellent, steady rain fell durin
the week and the ground Is thoroughly sat
urated.
Shearing Is In progress at the differen
plants, but the work Is being hindered by
the wet weatner. bneepmen report axtraor
dinarily heavy fleeces.
The Farmers' Union will hold Its fourth
annual picnic in Heppner June 2. A plat
form discussion of the road bonding Issue
will be a feature of the day. Prominent
speakers for and against the measure will
be present.
Bean and Potato Acreage Increased.
ALBANY. Or.. May 28. (Special.) De
spite unfavorable weather conditions, Lini
County will have this year by far the big
Keat acreage of beans and potatoes in iti
history. The rains have not interfered with
the planting of these crops to the same ex
tent that they have with grain growing.
Land which has not been used for years
has been cultivated this year and much of
It Is being used for potatoes or beans.
While the Increased acreage in these crops
Is more noticeable in and near the towns
of the county, more farming land than usual
has been planted to these crops, especially
beans.
Aid for Flax Growers.
TURNER. May 26. (Special.) Harry A.
8choth, Government flax and forage crop
expert, has been in the vicinity of Turner
the past several days working among the
farmers .and aiding them especially with
the Spring flax work. It Is Mr. Schoth's
intention to be In this vicinity several times
during the flax-growing season to aid the
farmers In the production and harvesting
of their flax crops.
FUTURES ARE SOLD
Foreigners Buy Wheat for Im
mediate Delivery.
CHICAGO MARKET IS OFF
Total Yield of TTnlted States Esti
mated at 750,000,000 Bushels
and Domestic Consumption
Reduced; Grains Slump.
CHICAGO. May 26. Announcement that
foreigners were getting rid of some of their
future delivery holdings had a bearish in
fluence on the wheat market today. Ths
outcome was a heavy close at 4c to 6c net
decline. Corn finished 3c to 6c down,
oats -off He to lc and provisions 25a to
57 cents.
Notwithstanding that week-end evenlng-
P of trades gave the wheat market at one
tage an appearance of strength, breaks in
prices became pronounced during the last
half ox the session. Messages from the sea
board said European Interests were fairly
cttve :n letting go of future contracts ana
taking instead wheat for immediate de
livery. In this connection It was said that
premiums for cash wheat had dwindled 20
cents a bushel from the recent high point
nd that much more wheat was being of- 1
fered than was the case when premlus were
extreme. Other bearish Influences Included
an authoritative estimate that the total
yield In the United States this season would
be as much as 750.000,000 bushels. Asser
tions also were current that the domestic
consumuptlon this season would only be
bushels as against a normal average of
bushels. Such a reduction would mean
saving of about 50,000,000 bushels.
Corn prices fell sharply owing to ar
rival of Argentine .corn In New York and
as a result of the improved car supply,
which was said to be taking much corn east
for which there was no immediate domes
tic or export demand. Besides, corn reports
were bearish.
Oats went lower with corn. Field advices
were favorable and nothing was heard of
any revival of export call.
Provisions dropped because of the break
In grain values. Smallness of prospective
hog supplies next week acted as only a tem
porary support for the markets
TRADE IN WHEAT OF SMALL VOLUME
With Operations Restricted. Decline in
Values Is Steady.
CHICAGO. May 26. Shriveling id of the
trade in future deliveries of wheat has been
accomplished this week by 'price losses of
9c to 17c. Options In other commodities,
also, became less expensive, corn declining
c 10 ostec, oats 2 c to 6 Tic, and provisions
itC tO S2C
Despite the almost uniform downward
movement of whi st values. It was a fact
that rellers at first overreached themselves.
Reports were current that entente nations
had agreed to liquidate European holdings
of future contracts in the United States, but
no evidence of any such liquidation devel-
pea and temporarily ths market went soar
ing when short sellers who wished to even
up trades attempted to switch to the birr
ing side. After this Incident, however, the
volume of transactions In wheat became ex
tremely small. In view of pending legisla
tion at Washington, and because of stringent
xlstlng restrictions, prices fell almost un
impeded thereafter and the relatively few
brokers still engaged in wheat trading found
that the smallest grain pit on 'change af
forded ample space for all purposes.
A beginning of the 1917 wheat harvest
was reported from Texas on Wednesday,
but It was said that cutting would not be
general there for 10 days or two weeks, and
as a result would be a little later than usual.
Nevertheless, the nearness of general harvest
operations has counted to some degree In
depressing values, especially as the latest
estimates of the domestic yield this season
liberally surpass the 1916 total.
Enlarge country offerings broke the com
market after there had been a series of
bulges due to scarcity of receipts and to
misgivings about the effect of unseasonably
cold weather.
Excellent crop reports had a bearish ef
fect on oats, which were, also depressed by
a stoppage of seaboard demand.
Weakness of grain and hog quotations
eased down provisions. Selling of lard by
houses with foreign connections was at times
a leading feature.

NEW YORK. May 26. Cumulative signs
pointing to the success of ths Liberty loan,
the Senate's proposed amendments to some
of the more unsatisfactory features embod
ied In the war.-tax measures, Italy's aggres
sive movements on the Austrian frontier and
ths Improved crop outlook were factors of
varying importance in this week's busy
stock market.
Daily dealings, which averaged fully a
million shares, were sccomplished without
strain on the money market. The leader
ship of United Stales Steel, at an extreme
advance for ths week of 12 points to the
new maximum of 134. was accepted as
evidence that banking interests are not
averse to higher prices.
Judging from the course of rails, which
were only moderately firm when not irregu
lar or heavy, less optimism was shown re
garding the attitude of the Interstate Com
merce Commission In the matter of in
creased freight rates. Rails were under ad
ditional handicap from the weakness of
trUnor Issues, notably Denver A Rio Grsnde
preferred and New Haven, due to specific
reaioni.
Technically the market has been weak

forced covering of an incalculable amount
of short contrscts. Trade authorltlea re
ported a slight check in various mercantile
lines, consequent In part to unseasonable
weather and Increased economies.

Heavy Purrhases of Pig Iron. Scrap and
Alloys In Past Week.
NEW YORK. May 28. Steel mills, over
whelmed with business, present and future.
have turned energetically to the market for
raw materials, purchasing pig Iron, scrap
and alloys In heavy volume. .
Ths greatest activity Is In basic Iron,
sales of which have aggregated nearly 100,
000 tons for shipment during ths last half
of this year and the first half of 1918, but
with furnace capacity largely sold for this
year's delivery, the demand Is not being
fully satisfied. Prices have advanced an
other dollar per ton and the prospect Is for
another sharp rise soon.
Plans of the Army Department are as
suming definite form. Ths indication li
that the steel mills soon will bs called upon
to supply a large tonnage of structural
spaces for the building of the warehouses
at Army cantonments for ordnancs and
commissary stores, for garages and hangars.
It is estimated that about 350.OOO tons will
be needed In the next year. The Navy De
partment has taken bids on 13.50O tons of
stsel for machine and atructural shops.
