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. -

There were no nt rivals In the yards to
day. The strength In all lines Is at
tributed to thin cause. Hogs are ex

some are being used ail the time. All

1 am verv sure sure that the coming

Chicago, July 18 It was a fighting
wheat market from first to last with
both sides rather determined and each
bucked by a fair amount of news. 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.

New York, July 18. 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 weather was extremely hot and its
continuance would have done consider

Some moisture was needed, too, for the

Forest Grove, Or.. July 18. The body
of an unknown man was found In a
ravine near Tlrnber. 17 miles northwest
of this city, yesterday. The head was
crushed beyond recognition. He had
been dead two or three weeks. The
murdered man is supposed to have lived
In a cabin In the woods two miles and
a half from Timber. The supposition is
that the head was crushed by an ax,
then dragged to the ravine a few rods
from the house where the body was
thrown Into the ravine, which is cov
ered with brush.
It was discovered by Mrs. Neighbor,
who was attracted by the odor of de-
comDosltton. Sheriff Connell and Cor
oner Brown of Hlllsboro are at the
place of the murder. No clews have
uecil iouiiu mm men uoj nui I't-c-ii
identified. It was not known that a
man was living on the place until th.?
body was found.

(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

leaving but one for America, finishing
third. The United Kingdom added Ave
more points in the 6.000-meter cyole
race, by winning first place, and France
got Into the running by carrying off
Fhi nt the honors In the event.
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. The
United Kingdom then pressed its soore
to a total of 6S, American count, or 2 4

La Fayette, Or., July 18. 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.
