The market for mohair is rather un settled jwlth prospects, good, bad or In different, according to ths way Inter ests lie. . In a nominal way 2flc and SOc a pound Is being bid for hair but so small are the offerings the market can scarcely be called ooen for the new season. Eastern Interests seem to be -more Indifferent regarding mohair than they were a short time ago. . All of them sneak of tariff tlnkerlne- aa the cause- There are saw to oe nuge supplies 01 foreign mohair ready to enter the Amer ican trade the moment tne tarui Dare are taken down and buyers say this will naturallv affect the orlcs and de mand for domestic goods. Turkish mo hair has the reputation or oeing cue best In the world, and therefore with out a tariff to hinder Importations the trade would go mostly Into that article. While Oregon's output of hair this year will likely show less volume than usual, advices froiA Texaa Indicate that the growth tnere is greater man norniat. COVER AND PUT STOCKS HIGHER Following the heavy errlvals In the cattle market during, the past week there wss another big ahowing of sup plies, over Sunday, A total of 858 head were received. , This left the cattle market in a very poor condition and all thoughts of an improvement have ooen cast aside tem porarily, commission Handlers are re ceiving many letters from the country regarding the high oiices quoted by some papers snd their inability to se cure them when maklnir shipments. - The plan of sending out high quota tions is to. secure grester shipments to the yards, notwithstanding the fact that the market is overloaded and has been topheavy for some time. Handlers of livestock are commend Ing The Journal on Its accurate reports regarding the- recent slump while all other interests have been telling that prices were high and the demand fully aa rood as arrivals. There was a further drop In the price of hogs at Chicago and South Omaha today. The former market was vsry weak with prices cut a dime, while Omaha was 16c to 20c under Saturday's average. Thia means, therefore, x that Paclflo northweat packers are able to purchase hogs in the Nebraska terri tory and ship them to their plants at a total cost of $7.86, including freight and handling.
