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

turns, and according to officials, is In
a position to rorce recognition.

A very small volume of business is
passing In the wheat trade. 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.
While the barley market is quiet,
some business Is passing at $23 a ton.
Flour market is quiet at the closing
of the week with little export business
in sight,

The market for hop contracts is very
firm, although little' business is pass
ing. 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.
The absence of more than a handful
pf spot hops in any of the leading mar.
nets 01 tne woria is saving a goo ei'
feet unon contracts. ,. .
. F. V, Flint & Co of San Francisco
nave just prepared the following sta
tistlcs of the California cron:
"Hops for 1912 averaged about 18o
per nound. Because of the promised
good prices." the acreage increased.
"For the state, the 1912 acreage was
13,667, as against 11.168 for the year
previous. The production Increased
2S7r9 bales, from 93,981 bales. In 1911,
to U7,i70 oaies for 1913. ,
"The Sacramento valley outmit ln
creased 11,765 bales. Sacramento valley
is one of the largest nop producing sec
tions In the world, ana Sacramento
county, admittedly, -ets the largest pro
duction per acre, showing that the cli
mate and soil here Is most favorable,
The 1918 valley outnut was 165.848.
Flint says the prospects are that the
1913 acreage will be about the same
as mat 01 ivn. -Alameda county, witn
160 sores, is to retire from the hop
business, and Tehama will have an in
crease that will about offset the reduc
tion in Alameda.
"The hop market is reported as in
good condition. In the warehouses at
present in California are about 5000
bales of hops, and a like amount In
Oregon, The total number of bales on
the coast is reported ss less than 15,'
000 bales, or less than a month's sup
fly for the brewers. Contracts for
913 crpps sr being made at about 13
cents. The 1912 stock is selling at from
16c to 17o. f
"Production ' of Sacramento valley

Coast Oats Are-Leaders
A. Department For Consumers
Many attempts have been made b
manufacturers of eastern rolled oats
to invade the Pacific coast markets.
Most. Of them Tiave been extremely cost
ly but all hav been failures. Time
and; time again the big corporations
have tried to "break the market' but
they are today Where they started when
me itrsi exiori was maae.
Consumers hare been tha means of
keeping 'the eastern oats out of the
Pacific coaat markets, to a very great
aegrvei ueue tuey nave Deen aemanu
ing the local product. ? ;
Oats grown in the Pacifld "horth
webtareQntildercd thiJ?C8tfor roll
ing in the entire world. 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. Th stock now
being offered by coast manufacturers
la freer from hulls than ever before
and the rolling is far. superior to ths
old method. -
..JThen again the former "sticky", oats
are being forced out of the market be
cause of the appearance of .better qual
ity. The "stickiness" is taken from the
oats simply by removing the fiour from
the grain afteroninpatswiMi.the
flour reiuovod tookTbetter andstay
whole. . , ., . ,
While there have been many breakfast
roods on the market of recent years,
rolled oats continue . far in the lead of
all others, v , ; , . . .

'. (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.
