TARIFF TIllieiHG
ISWUII
Probable Taking Away of the
Duty Checks Business in
"American Trade." .
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. '
Only one lot of sheep came forward
to the yards today and these . were
brought In by a local interest,

surplus stock now showing. There is
still quite a iair supply lert in the wi.
lamette valley, r but this Is being held
for more money.: "."
Msrket for wheat Is Somewhat firmer
In the country, and an advance of about
a half cent is generally quoted by those
most anxious to buy. Purchases recent
ly seem to have been altogether, for the
account -of - millers, as the export value
Is too low to admit of business on the
coast Just now. .
Flour trade is fair locally, but export
Is quiet .
