I. nit i Production Is Increasing and for Four Years Prices Have Decreased. By Hyman H. Cohen. Will tha prlos of mohair continue the rscord It has mads In this atata during ths (aat fltrs yaara or will the market change about and accept tbs conditions that ruled from 1887 up to 1803T j Theae are moat aerloua questions to roat ownera of Orea-on at thla time and aa Oregon la noted aa a mohair- producing state, the action of the mar ket here will be reflected In tha market! for that commodity throughout the eWorld. . I To aum up tha altuatlon of former eara la but to ear that from 1837 to 1103 tha price of mohair advanced from HSc to IIHc a rlae of Just 17c In even years, while from 101 to 1807, a period of four year, the price went from tha high point at It Ho to lOo, a net lose of 8 He during that time. eThere are all aorta of reports regard ling aondltlona, but Just at present the buyers are on tha atage and their atunta 'point to a lower market They argue that while there la still quite a good demand for this product of the goat, 'the price of all raw materlala has (tended downward during, the paat year. $A year ago there was great competition among the buyers of mohair and tha (result was that none of them made any (money, while others lost on some of (their transactions.

In 1906 the firHp of mohair whs u fraction under 1400,000 while In 1905 It was about 850, 000. In thla Mate the production has been steadily Increasing of late years while the price has been corresponding ly decreased. It Is expected that the a-llp of 1908 In Oregon will amount to About 475,000 pounds, a natural Increase tin the face of the production of recent "years and the mildness of the past win der. I A nominal amount of . mohair has een received In this city during the Vast week and has told at 26c a pound. tWhllo this Is somewhat of an Indication of what course prices are taking. It l.loes not necessarily show what price ithe regular pools will sell at. Organized pools have always sold at a higher price .than Individual shipments. GOOD SALMON PROSPECTS. indications of larger Catch Market I Is in- Good Shape for Canned. I Indications point strongly to a 'greatly increased run of salmon in tho AJolumbla and Willamette rivers during itha spring seanon which opena April 4ft. I lie present season enan on marni a6 and will remain closeu ror a monm V, . V. aK-i,,,. ,,n n'lll .T'l rl I At this time the river is full of sal Pmon and the catch to date lias n.-on Ijone of the most liberal for a steady tene in recent seasons. A remarkable feature about the present run of fish Is 'the uniform large sizes. According to Reading handlers the run of fish was never so uniformally large as this sea- eon. The fish are said to snow a mucn batter appearance and the colors are brighter than usual. 1 The canned salmon market Is In very 'iroort ahaoe with all supplies entirely -out of first hands. For several years inhere has been a shortage In canned Usalmon production. Therefore the re- '"nort of John Pease Babcock. provincial edeputy commissioner of fisheries, la of jmuch Interest: I "The entire salmon pack of the Fraser Trmr aistriL't wiuun ma province 111 !1I99 waa 480,383 cases. In the tabu lated returns for that year the pack of ockoye was not segregated from the father varieties of salmon canned. How Sever, a conservative estimate places the iftockey pack at 75 per cent of the total, lor 36(1,285 cases. The sockeye pack In irhe American waters of the Fraser river Aifctrict In that year was segregated. fentT la given at 497,700 cases, making la total of 857,985 cases of sockeye for fthe entire district In 1899. In 1903 the Ipack of sockeye for the dlstriot con- lsted or U4,84 cases pacxea inprovin- lai waters and JS.2H cases in tne imerlcan waters of the district, a total f 372.057 cases, a decrease of 66 Vi Per ent from that of 1899. The pack of sockeye- In provincial waters of the HFraser district tnis year consisted or ,69,015 cases, and tnat 01 tne American jfwaters of 96,974 cases, a total of 156, 1789 for the entire district, showing a Idecrease of 216,268 cases, or 67 per icent from that of 1903. The catch of In 907 waa 699,200 cases less than that Pof the previous eighth year, 1899, a -decrease of 83 per cent; truly an aston ishing showing. In addition permit mo again to call attention to the fact that the catch of 1904 was 66 per cent less jkhan that of 1900, that of 1906, a big Lan am 99 nar rent ltfaa than that rir 'AiOl. tlie preceding big year, that thef ''pack of 1906 was 26 per cent less than Jn 1902, and that or 1907 is 57 per cent ,CBS man umi vi juva. FOREIGN HOP BUSINESS. ome March Contracts Are Filled at Wee Prices During the Week. The return of hop buyers from abroad nto the 'local market seemed to Indi cate- to some that the roreign trade waa phort of supplies and that the re ftentrance meant that prlcea were soon ilto Jump sky ward. 1 The buying was simply to fill a few (March contracts and the prices paid Hwers in no Instance an Improvement 'over what was paid recently. However, j there is a report in circulation that some of those who have sold short for a term of years, ars about to begin a small bull campaign In order to get the 'growers to cultivate their yards and thus allow the buyers to purchase the ops at less than the cost 01 production.

Stocks wars buoyant today, largely because of a let ter received by Charles Knobloch, mem ber of the stock exchange, from Presi dent Roosevelt In which the president is said to have stated that he is not trylna to Injure the stock market, but Is really trying to help it by destroy ing bucket-shop gambling. As that Is what all respectable wan street wants to do. the letter caused treat excite ment and frightened the aborts Into covering. An unfortunate feature or tne situa tion la that bucket shots get their quo tations from the stock exchange lndl-. rectly and In euch a way that the stock exenange could not cut off the quolA- tldhs If It tried.. It is a well-known fact that there Is twice as much nominal business done In buc. -t shots throughout the country aa real business In brokerage houses. Most of the customers of bucket shops believe they are trading In stocks. If the bucket shops were all closed the le gitimate business In Wall street, even on a dull day, would be about a mil lion ahares, while On active days trad ing wouij be between 3,000,000 and 4,- 000.000 shares. The bucket shop Is a thief, and. legitimate Wall street gets blamed lor It. The Dresldent'o letter la Important also because 11 means that the Hepburn anti-speculation bill Is not to be pushed. ror ti l bill la a blow to leaitimaie tradlna and would multiply then umber of bucket shops just ss the two cent tar In New York has done. The statement that the New York stock exchanaa could out the bucket shops out of business in 2 4 hours oy investigating Its own wire service excited much com mont on the floor of the board, where a board of governera is making itself very unpopular by permitting the ex change wire service 10 u auuacu. in many cases the bucket shops are able to beat members of the stock exchange on quotations in small towns by as much as five minutes. But the stock market would have been strong had the presidents letter never been writ ten. The street was discussing tlx opening of the KnicKemocKer irusi company. A sharp advance, such as came today, would naturally lead to the uelief that proilts Should De taKen Mon day, but Roosevelt's letter may force the rally still rurtner.

WHEAT LOSES IN PRICE. Nominal Business Reported In Local Market No Oriental Trade. Wheat lost In- price during the past six days both here and abroad, owing to the smaller demand. Locally there was but a small amount of business transacted and this was generally at a lower range. While buyers did not seek to buy liberally there waa no dis position among Holders to nurry saies. With an entire abaence of any orien tal flour business, most of the mills In the Pacific west remain insVlve. This has caused a continuance of the short age in mlllfeeds and prices in that line are still at record heights. In order to relieve some of the demand It Is statd that interior millers are mixing alfalfa with feeds. There was a very dull tone In the flour market during the weeli with of ferings liberal but buyers here showing no disposition to purchase except in small lots. Prices are nominally un changed. Early Truck at Brownsville. Brownsville, Or., March 7. Browns ville has experienced some real winter in the past few days. The thermom eter has fallen to the freezing point and soma snow has fallen.

While there may have been periods wherein there bad been a great scarcity of sheep In tne local yards the past six days take the prise the booby ono too ror the smallest numoer mai naa appeared In the local' market at thla time of year. Just 74 aheep. a mere handful for even a country town for alx days, arrived here during the week and the wonder of the whole matter is how the market price remained station ary binder such circumstances. In a way. however, the past week ) far to explain that the Portland sheep market has reached Its top level as far aa this season Is concerned. Un der like circumstances a handful of arrivals the market would undoubted ly hav.i advanced quite materially during- o;her periods. The price of sheep haa bci"n to suh a high level In this, and other Pacific coast markets, for so long a period that the trade lias been forced to foreao Its use on the block. Sht-vp values had rt-ached such a high record ami had remained there for so lon a period that consumption wni stifled snJ if the arrivals showed much of in Incrrase the market would un doubtedly have broken In plooes and the pieces would be so badly scattered that shippers would scarcely know where they stood. Pnbllo Concerned la Advanoes. While Duttlne- ud the crlce of live stock Is all very nice for the producer for a lime, In the end it Is one or tne worst thlnas that could happen. The public generally rallies around the flag of tne producer even tnougn prices are enormous for a time but when they re main at record-breaking helgbta ror months and months, tha public gets tlrod of the game, the result is that the high-priced product Is cut off the bill of fare and from that time forth the producer begins to reap the whirl wind. hearing to Begin Boon. Khearlna- time Is rapidly approaching and sheep men are much concerned at the moment regaraing prices, supply and demand. Dealera are anticipating the thoughts of the producer and are talking lower prices. In fact late sales of old wool have been made at material reductions from the figures pn)d the sheep owners a year aaro. A fnw lots of new wool have strayed Into the local narket during the week and for Y 11- lamtt9 valley stock the prices ranged belwetn 15 and 17c a pound. In the Boston market a lower ranee of values has been lately ruling for both Oregon an4 territory wools. For well-finlshod steers the trade Is now expecting an early advance In price. While this advance has been expected 'or some time the trade seems of the opinion that the change will oc cur soon. Durlnc the past week there was only a small run of steers ,in the yards and prices were held quite well, although at no time were they strained. Hogs nhowed scant fdupplles for the week and th' market was firm although prices shewed no change for tho period. The few tupplles that came, .however, were in better request at last week'a figures. A year ao for the past wek there was a very weak tone In cattle up to the Inst day, when values strenathene'l. However for the week cattle showed a loss of 60c.

Jacksonville, Fla,, March 7. One of the most Interesting features of the state of Florida are ths Indian mounds to bs found scattered throughout the fienlnsula, and which may be divided n,to two classes the shell and the burial. In those of the shell no re mains of any kind Jiave ever been dis covered, this being tha first and most marked distinction between the two kinds of mounds. The shell mounds are themselves of two different kinds, the natural and artificial, and are of differ ent sices, though both large and small of ths artificial type are either oblong or circular, laid out mathematically to, proportionately, certain heights and cir cumferences. There are numerous artificial mounds near the St. John's river, and along the coast many, both natural and artificial, are to be found. The action of wind and wave easily accounts for the for mer, but concerning the latter,; of man made origin, there are several theories. Some are supposed to have been strictly residence mounds; some observation or ceremonial, being connected with the re ligious rites of the ancient Indians, and others are believed to have been either open-air ballot boxes, where, as In the early history of Greece, votes ware cast by means of shells, or were deposits of tribute shells from Inferior tribes pass in thronrh the country of some great chief tor, possibly, coming at stated times to pay their dues). At. Bt Penteraburg, on the southwest coast of Florida, there is an Interest ing collection of both shell and burial mounds, the smaller heaps composed entirely of magnificent specimens of oyster shells, varying from six to 12 Inches In length and about two and one-half . Inches In diameter, laid like brickwork, overlapping. Ths largest re maining shell mound (many have been carried away for street paving, etc. Is conical in shape, 80 feet .in height and 100 feet In diameter. It is cov ered to the top with grass growing under live oaks and pins trees, which are not less than a century old. Boms of the burial-mounds-aro circular and others ars "sugar .loaf."
