Efforts of buyers to depress the price of mohair this season are likely to be met by strong resistance from produc ers. The latter are now getting well organized, and at the present time are in a positlrm to see that no manipulat ing methods are carried through by eastern buyers. The' Northwest Anrora Goat associa tion will be a very big and Important factor in the mohair trade of the Fa cifie states this season. The organiza tion has over 200 members and better than 160,000 pounds of hair Is already tied up by contract to the association. . According to the organisation this hair will bring at least ado a pound this season, perhaps more. The association has a contract with this as a minimum pice, while if the market advances the better price will be received. It is. stated that the association has dug heavily into ' some of the former targe pools. No errort la made to ee cure unreasonable prices, but the or ganization Is standlna- for adeomate ra turns, and according to officials, is In a position to rorce recognition. There has been Dracticallv no offer. lng in the mohair trade of this section recently, owing to the cool weather, wnrcn jibs stopped sneering.

Club bids are ranging from 85 to 86a with most tidewater interests willing to take on supplies at the higher figure. There la much clflerence of opinion as to the worth of bluestem at thla tune. Borne of the millers are not of fering above 97c a bushel for tidewater delivery but recent sales of small lots at 1 show that the higher price must be offered if any wheat is to be se cured. There continues a fair amount of bus iness In the oats market. Bids for No. 1 feed are ranging from $27.60 to 23 a ton for Portland delivery with milling oats bringing above a half dollar above these figures.

Fifteen cents continues to be free ly offered for supplies, but this is not bringing out many contracts. The sit uation in the contract market Is the strongest in years, although some of the larger Interests are making a strong effort to keep the price from rising, a By keeping the spot market price to the present point, it is hoped by some of the big buyers to hold any advancing tendency for contracts in check. Varl ous efforts have been'made to bring tne contract market below 16c. but all 01 mem nave resulted in failure,.1 be cause none can be Induced to let so.

They are whit er and therefore look-purer than those of most sections, therefore- it has been an uphill Job to force consumers to take anything except the local product. . It has been stated on several occa sions that one of the big eastern oats companies was about to establish a fac tory in the Pacifior northwest to secure the excellent grain that Is grown here. ; Many improvements have been made In the manufacture of rolled oats with in .the last few years.

Flood Victims,- . ' '. (Splsl t The Joanisl.) Oregon City, Or., March 29. The business mra of Oregon City held a mass meeting in the publicity build ing of the Commercial club yesterday and -passed a resolution requesting the county court to set aside enough money to buy 20 carloads of potatoes to be sent to the flood sufferers in the Ohto and Indiana districts. The Pennsyl vania Railroad company telegraphed to Mayor Jones stating that it would haul free of charge any produce, properly aaaressea to tne relief committee m the stricken districts: Farmers have been asked to notify the publicity de partment of the Oregon City Commer cial club Just whit they are willing and ready to supply, giving ths number or sacks of potatoes available and ready for shipment upon demand of the club, when it is learned how many will be needed and Just where they must be shipped. A committee organized to solicit cash subscriptions reported it had made aome progress but has not yet received suf ficient money to accomplish much, so it was decided to send the potatoes instead of cash, as evidently food is the greatest need mt present among the flood victims. Onions will also be sent with the potatoes. It is probable more money will be forthcoming as the com mlttee continues its solicitation for subscriptions, snd if it is found ready cash Is needed more than supplies, the potatoes and onions may be sold at public auction and the money thus raised ba forwarded at ones to the dis trict most in need of lt. Telegrams of sympathy arid offers Of assistance have been Nunt to the authorities in Ohio snd Indiana and Oregon City Is anxious and wilting to do her full share.
