L CUP IS NOT-
ONLY GREATER BUT
PRICES ARE BETTER
Oregon Producers Receite More
' Money Than for Many Tears for
Their Fleece; Total Shearing , Is
Valued at About $3,400,000.
By Hyman H. Cohen.
Of the 20.000, Opo pounds of wool
produced in Oregon this season fully
, 14.600,000 pounds have already been
Old, rnuklng the fastest selllnc move
rnent ever known- In the history of the
local industry. Not only was the sell
Ing movement quicker, but the prices
obtained for fleece one of. the best
known here.' While definite figures
' are still lacking Because some of the
late sale are not yet averaged, it Is
likely that the average price this sea
son in this state will run close to 17c a
pounu and some interests are inclined
to bHIeve that a fractional advance
w1H te Khown above this.
Not only did Oregon wool growers
receive more many per pound for their
fleece this season, but Instead of show
in a. . decrease in supplies as was
indicated by the wool trade through
out ihe world, there Is an actual in
crease of about 2,000.000 pounds in the
clip over recent years. Huch a. show-in-;
was wholly unexpected by both the
trsde and producer.
Taking the generally accepted aver
age -for thin year's price, the wool clip
of Oregon this season brought $3,400,
000 to producers compared with $2,700.
000 a year ago. Ij&hI year's wool clip
whs- sold under very adverse circum
stances mill buyers were very bear
It h in ttinir views regarding the tak
ing 4o"ff of -the tariff and 'producers
were quite willing to accept their
views. This year with free trade the
highest prices in years have been re
ceived and not only this, but the clip
Is much greater.
The estimated wool clip of Oregon
lor 1914 shows in detail:

Country Interests Want ' to Ship
Old Birds and" Are Asking for
Coops to Send Them to Market;
Production Greatly Increased.
Indications are pointing strongly to
a very severe speil of weakness in the
chicken trade along. Front street. There
Increase In offerings along the street
durinr tha wk ana for tht on
jo cvei j UKCiinuu vi a wry maiei iai
increase in offerings along the street
during the week and for that reason
it is expected that buyers will likely
hold back their purchases' until the .-
prices asked meet their views.
Almost every letter opened up by
Front street poultry sellers this morn
ing was an inquiry regarding tne snip
ment of chicken coops. The fact that
hens are not laying so freely at this
time is causing the country to get rid
of its old stock and the annual move
ment of old birds to market will 'likely
start within a day or so. . During such
period the market: usually shows a de
pressed tone.

rOOR CHERRIES COMING IN
Some very poor cherries are coming

Opposition Fruit Does Not Receive
Support of .Trades; First Ship

to the defeat of the independent

uniy one prominent dealer here was
represented in the former Mliiument
of Independent fruit to the local mar-
ket, and it is now stated along the
street that after the present shipment
arrives that interest, too, will go baeg
10 me xoias or me so-called trust.
Various attemtits have been mad.
by independent banana shipping con
cerns of the south to enter the Pacific
coast markets, but little success: ha3
been shown. The attempt previous
to me present one was mads witn
first class fruit, but even then the
small differences between the warring
terest- were settled and the b co:
cern again gobbled up the entire trade.
First shipment of independent fruit
to this market recently did not meet

Fractional Change
In Price of Wheat
Chicago. June 8. Closing prices for
wheat were Ae off for Julv and V. e
ior tseptemDer, while oecember was un
cnangeo. une market started with a
loss of c each in Jtny and December,
ana uncnanged ior September.
Trading was within extremely nar
row limits during the session on ac
count of the lack of definite news re-
f arding the crop. The advance -was
rom Liverpool that the wheat market
was slightly depressed at the opening
by tne navy world's shipments, par
ticularly the large contribution from
North America. The percentage of the
world's shipments to the United King
dom was light by comparison, and the
decreasing stocks here of contract
grade, firmness of Manitobas and the
firmer feeling in cash centers prompt
ed covering, and during the morning
July advanced '4d. The advance was
checked by the approaching American
government report and a belief In freer
offerings of winters.

p "V
j r
Manufacturers Ask Return of
1 Limb Which They Say Was
Not Paid for.
Vancouver. Wash June S. A pe
culiar claim was presented to -the board
of county commissioners last week.
when the manufacturers of a cork leg. j
worn by David Murry. whose bodv was
nmnH rinniin i k. i,,v.I i
on tne morning of April 20. asked for
tne return of th4. It v. ,ni. .,7.,".
i .! . . or l"' ,e u bein alleged
1 '
artificial The body was buried
by v. H. Limber, county coroner, who
kept the limb and refused to return It
to the manufactruers, on the grounds
that the county had borne the expense
vt burial. Another phase presented
Itself when the question arose as to
whether Mr. Limber could charge the
full price for burial. Inasmuch as he
had buried the body minus one of Its
members. ,.
After considerable discussion, the
commissioners finally decided that
Limber return the leg to the manufac
turers because he had made an over
charge. An item in the papers at the
time Murry was found, stating that
the cork leg had kept the body afloat,
was a clue to the fact that the limb
was in Vancouver.
