So far aa tha local demand' la con cerned, the mohair market Is beginning to boom and several small Sales are re ported at 21c and 33c, or an advar.ee ., of Ha over pre v Iowa high figure.

The betterment ; In the rnarket Is not confined to the '" local territory but -permeates the -wool ; market at all American centers. In eastern Oregon the activity Is more pronounced than at any previous time and in some instances reports tell of a fractional advance in the price of low grade stuftV While demand continues est for finer wools the trade seems . to have come to the' conclusion ; that v values for poof quality have been put at too low a basis. In the Willamette valley the wool trade Is increasing, but so f.r-aa known no. transactions- have 'been made above recently quoted values. Strawberries Are Bows somewhat. ; Receipts of strawberries from Cali fornia points were heavy today 'and none of the fruit gave satisfaction. The Los Angeles stock was all right "Tor city trade and sold well to' these inter ests around 11.75 a crete, but the Florin roods were too green to admit of much business and therefore prices were cut to 2 a box.

According to the reports which come to The Journal this morning from Wil lamette , and Clackamas fishing, the run of salmon in these Streams shows considerable decrease for the past it hours. Because of the very liberal de mand the price Is holding quite stiff. ,W5M and Butter : Are :rat.-.';V;;, For best known brands" or local cream ery butter the market continues to bold its own, but there Is an undercur rent of weakness and consequent dull ness in outside goods not so well known. Outside markets continue to hold their own and none of the eity creameries changed their values this morning. ' Eggs are firmer, with mosf transac tions In small lots today at 23c. .
