Juat after the October unpleasantnesa, every . manufacturer and buyer In the east be : fan to cry that stocks were burden v soma and "that prices would go to the ; dors. Tha result was that raw hides touched an unusually low f igure and even- then " manufacturers scarcely cared whether . they bought or not Thla caused a . similar condition to rule her. The great shortage in came ana a re .' rival of business everywhere has caused , an unturn in the hide market and a . further Improvement, in the price la again noted today. Manufacturers have V suddenly come to reallro that there are not enough hides to go around during a normal market ana una is wni caused their return Into the buying arena. Local buyers are now much eager to ; purchase and the bidding Is quite live ly considering the conditions which ruled in the hide market about a month ago. For the ordinary run of dry hides the trade Is now freely offering coun try butchers 12 Ho and 13c a pound. For green salt they are quoting 6c and 6 He today and for green calves 8c and 10c a pound. While there la no change for the day in kips the market is firmer at 6c and 8e and at 4c a pound for green salt bull hides. Wool Market Is Quit Firm. While trade conditions la the wool market are not very lively at this time, . the tone Is oulte steady and prices on - Willamette valley stock are ruling "from IZHc to 16c. according to quality. In mohair there Is but little doing at - the moment, most of this year s clip be lnsr already out of first hands. While trade Is nominal, former advanced prices are being maintained. Most of "the late sales in mohair have gone to speculators who consider the present market a very good investment. While conditions this Reason aid not warrant the extreme high values of late years, the decline this season-has been far too great Some of the larger buyers did not enter the market at all for mohair this season because of what they con sldered the ridiculous values being of fered by buyers and manufacturers.

Three people have been seriously bit ten by dogs In that apace of time, while two otlmr doxs have been acting In such a way as to terrorise the neigh bnrhnnds in which they were seen. Those -who have been bitten are: TaUve Wakefield, years old, MS Hoyt street, severely bitten on the hip. ' J. A. Mutoh, 79 Worth. Third street. bitten on the leg. Charles Countryman, 11 years old. 618 Twenty-fourth street, bitten oo both legs. The three cases, coming so close to gether, alarmed the police, and patrol men have beon Instructed to kill any dogs seen acting suspiciously. Al though a genuine case of rabies na never been known In Portland and none of the persons attacked yesterday Is believed to have been bitten by a mad dog, the extremely hot weather of the past week Is believed to have driven naturally ill-tempered dogs to a point where they are liable to attack people. and possibly other dogs without cause. Beats Dog With Bucket. Of the cases reported! so far that of little Yetive Wakefield, the daughter of 8. L. Wakefield, a salesman for Eilers piano house. Is tho most serious, Mr. Wakefield and his daughter were walking towards their home at 681 Hovt when a large do, part Shepherd and part Newfoundland, rushed out of the yard of J. C. Shofner and fastened his farjKs in the girl's hip, knocking her down. Mr. Wakefield fortunately had bucket with him and he attacked the dog with it, beating It about the head until it let go Its hold. Mr. Shofner was out of the house by this time and snot the dog wntie Mr. wakeneia car ried the alrl home and sent for Dr, H. M. Pafton. The prompt arrival of the doctor and tne cauterization or tne wounds are all that saved the child s life. She was dangerously bitten, four or rive deep wounds naving Deen mane in her flesh while she also suffered from the shock. Bites and Buns Away. While J. A. Mutch was walking down North ElKhtn street yesterday after noon, and while passing 108 North Eighth street, a dog rushed out and attacked him, dlsappearang around the THE M 18 68 16 30 26 16 38 17 20 149 160 25i 26 96 40 108 66 I 65 40 108 148 65 65 25 96 40 107 65 66 141 25 123 93 29 87 116 82 82 18 69 17 30 26 42 16 8187 45 24 2U 149 82 26 96 40 107 32 65 16 37 6 66 Marlbel Seymour Benefit. As an antidote for the hot weather Maribel Seymour and her benefit at the Baker last night proved to be a complete success. The theatre was crowded with friends of the popular stock actress and not only was the hou,se large but It was full of enthusi asm for Miss Seymour and the other members of the Baker company who aided her In her evening's entertain ment. Most of the acts were written by Miss Seymour herself and all were novel and entertaining.
