12 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND. SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 18, 1908. WORLD'S MARKETS TODAY wool cur is SOME HEAVIER Half Million Pounds Added to Cut of Last Year : Market Improves. . 4, Oregon Wool production. l'nunds. JC8 lS.ouu.O'Hi 1907 15.30(1.000 4 1,06 ... 15.3OO.U0U ME HOGS TO S6.75 loony Kest Stuff Is Advanced 25c Petvijifs Small and Vis ible Supply Nominal. According to figures furnished The Journal by Stat Sheep Inspwtor . II. " Lytle, Oregon Klieep produced tt;a past . season the greatest amount of worn in three years. Mr. Lytle estimates from , his data that the wool Production of the state during 1908 totaled 15,800.000 pounds compared with 15,300,000 pounds JT year ago as well as during 1906. This Is an Increase of 500.000 pounds and mh rm extent will make up the do- . ficlency In the price due to the lower price caused by general business stag nation throughout the country at the start of the season. According to the state Inspector Ore gon wools In 1907 averaged 8.5 pounds per fleece, this being the heaviest clip - jer sheep of all the states In the union. However, the reports show that wool averaged a shrink of 70 per cent, the 15,800,000 pounds scouring out 4.590,000 pounds, valued at 68c per pound, total- ' In the sum of 13.162,819. This years ' wool will likely average a slightly heavier shrink and doubtless will scour . a greater number of pounds, as the season was mild and favorable to the ' growth of a good staple. Wool Market Is Improving. While no late changes are shown In ' local wool prices, the tendency of the market seems upward. The late sales in eastern regon were all made at liigher figures. This induced many of the Willamette valley clip owners to hold their wool and the result is that to date but a small portion of the local product has passed out or nrsi nanas. For the best Willamette valley wool the trade is not disposed to offer over 15c a pound, while in eastern Oregon this season several clips sold at a ma " teriall" higher value. There is nothing doing of Interest In the mohair market, but a few transac tions being reported and these at quota tions unchanged from those that have been ruling during the past two weeks. ; Eastern Wool Market Is Better. Fibre and Fabric of Boston, in Its . special wool market report says: "The wool market Is strong and higher on certain grades and descriptions, which have been particularly active the past week. In fleeces and foreign wools - there has been quite a large movement. and one or two sizeable lines or terri tories have been sold. Delaine wools - and Quarter and three-eighths wool combing wools have been In particu larly good request, a large" manufac turine concern makinr dress goods hav lng been a free buyer of delaines, and a well known worsted goods manufac turer has continued his purchases of these wools also, and has taken on some medium unwashed. It Is esti mated that nearly 1,000,000 pounds of delaine have been sold, comprising both unwashed and washed, but largelv un washed, which have brought 2$ 2 7. The washed delaines have brought 84 85c, the latter of course for choice selections. The going price for good washed delaines, as they are ordlnartly made, is S4e. Sides Are Tlrm bat Unchanged. Since the advance quoted by The Journal about a week ago there has " been no change In the local hide market, although quotations remain quite firm nd the market is showing an advancing tendency for some grades which are scarce. Improvement in general trade conditions in the east Is helping the hide market there, and this betterment Is being felt in the local market. Chittim bark Is not moving very free ly owing to the very small peei. Prices now ruling make the peel of chittim bark unprofitable even during times of low .wages. A small amount of old bark Is being moved by dealers who have held for years, but they are not obtaining the prices they could have received a year or two years ago for the same bark. - PORTLAND LIVESTOCK RI'S. lIoKB I'Httlo.

The Increased movement la certainly off set by the fact that cash premiums on both red and hard wheat were Increased over yesterday s price. 1 here was un usual activity on the part of foreign buyers for a Saturday session. Receiv ing houses here say country acceptances are very light on the bids sent out It looks as if Europe must have large sup- piles and have tnem right away. There was decided selling pressure In both December and May corn follow ing the opening bulges, both months closing practically at the bottom and nearly one cent decline for the day. Kansas City reports hot weather over Kansas where there was Indication of hot winds. There was better weather over the entire corn belt for the week with better reports on the crop rrom many sections is having its effect on the new crop months. There is a very tight situation In July oats. Local longs sold In sym pathy with the easier feeling in the new crop months. It Is generally be lieved that next government report will show a considerable lowering of the condition for the entire' crop. Provisions had another soft day no break such as that of Tuesday- but the selling was more or less the same as yesterdav and there was profit-taking on the way down. It Is claimed the packers are looking for a larger run of hogs next week and they were prob ably encouraging the easier prices for the day, for tiie eirect it nave on prices at the yards.

The week's stock market has been a notable one in Wall street, Inasmuch as several new high records have been made with final Quo tations for the week practically at the top. Steel common has been exception ally strong. News regarding the ad vance is meager, but gossip Is persist ent that some plan Is being formulated whereby the preferred stock will be re tired by an Issue of bortqs. The dis counting process Is sHtl on In Wail street, and has Its effect on the market backed up by cheap money. Improved business conditions, sanguine views of the outlook for increased freight rates The foundation seems strong for a big market later on. There is an abundance of money which will be employed to some extent In the stock market on reactions.

The trip, however, will be made later In the season. (United Praae Leasad Wire.) London. July 18. Although England boasts a lead of 22 points over Amer ica In the Olymplo games today, the athletes from the United Btates are not disheartened and declare that If givtn fair treatment they will be able to take the championship home with them. The loss of the tug-of-war yesterday waa a hard blow and the Americana are In clined to resent the arbitrary ruling of the committee, which refused to allow their protest. , . According to the American y"tm of scoring, England lends today, with S points. America has 40, Sweden 16, Germany 8. France 6. (Jreece 8, Nor way 8, Finland 1. Canada 1. Australia 1. England took first and second In the steeplechase, making eight points, and leaving but one for America, finishing third.

Again the Britons registered five when they won the first In the 600-meter swim, allowing Sweden to net three by gaining second. America came to the front In the dis cus throwing, when first and cond places netted the team eight polnls, the remaining score In the event going to Finland, but was able to pick out only one half of a point In the fancy diving, because Germany took all the rest and tied the athlete from the United Btates for third place. England next added eight more points to her big score by winning first and in iha flve miles flat race, and Sweden got one by taking third.

Hop grow ers of this vicinity are disappointed with the prospects for this years crops. Several of the large growers have al lowed their yards to remain idle and some who have worket. their fields are disappointed with the yield and will allow them to hang on the vines. The yards which formerly bore an Immense output have only a quarter of a crop and none are bearing over half what they did last year. Growers say unless they can contract their hops at a price that will uiiarantee picking they will work their yards no longer and a num ber of fields will be plowed under this fall. The uncertainty of the price and the fact that the acreage will return a larger Income when planted to walnuts or small irults has in a large measure Influenced the growers. It Is the gen eral opinion of all the growers of this neighborhood that the lion Industry no longer pays at the low prices at which they are marketed and a decrease in acreage is expected this fall. Tho wages paid for pic king this season will be the lowest since the business was In Its infancy. Mc: red. Tii'ifOc. Willamette v&il.v 81 & 12c bushel.
