TKALS ARE WEAKER AGAIN "While much strength is displayed locally in the market for first class butler, there is practically no call here tor me cheaper grades. Kor city creamery and for the best outside make, values in general are oelng maintained at. recent figures,-but there Is absolutely no call for .the poorer stufr. - This Is especially evident In dairy stock. California is usually a very heavy buyer ol dairv butter in this and other Pacific northwest markets, but at tne moment there Is an entire ab sence of demand from the south for this product, . Dairy butter stocks here are today the greatest .ever known at this time of the year, and receivers are unable to find anyone .willing to make a bid tor the offerings. Ruby A Co., whi"h are considered extensive factors in the dairy butter trarket here, have recently wired their California connections for offers on dairy butter, but could re ceive no bids. Then the firm notified their California representative to sell the product for anything: he could se cure. . Instead of replying by wire atf usual, the-rsouthern broker wrote a let ter explaining there was absolutely no demand he could find there at any price. , The trade was simply not in terested in dairy butter, he reported.

Haia 86.1 There is a firmer feeling in the wool trade throughout the world, and higher prices are generally in eTfect for the last clip. Not only is interest great irt the 1914 clip, but strenuous efforts are being made by mill Interests to -on tract the coming clip at Pacific noithwe-st points. Special reports received by The Journal indicate that for thj better ola&s stock mill representatives are freely ottering: 22c a pound for next year delivery in the Pacific north west. Htgardlng the trend, of the fleece trade, a late Boston advice says: fhe local wool market is strong, but not -very active outside of foreign crossorede, which aie in excellent de mand both from foreign and domestic consumers, while the possibility of profits has led to more or less specula tion In tnem among dealers. Probably more than 200 bales of these wools, in ouuiiig - .Australian, New Zealand and South American clips, : have changed hands one way or another during the paat we.k. Fine foreign clips have not done' much and business in domestic atuca, with the exception of scoured and pulled wools, has not amounted to much, though ,one sale of 250.000 pounds of fine delaine fleeces is re ported. "The situation, viewed from any agle, is a stiong one. Not only is there an embaigo on the export of wtol from England, save of merinos and then only to neutral countries, but the. English colonies, as a result of an order from the home government, for the present at least, must ship all their wools through England. Direct shipments from Australia, New Zea land and the Cape Colony, therefore, are out of the question for the time being. Moreover, the prices which prevail in the foreign primary markets are away above what buyers are pre pared to pay. That oi ltseu wouia tend to delay purchase for this coun try and if the wools have to be shipped through England, their arrival here would be delayed at least io - . - men 1 C r.ar ( It la nor H'hnt h fAr ?n wool can " be bought at, but of getting it to this country. ,that influences the domesic markets. If wools were actually De ing given away in Australasia prices in this country would hardly be af fected, unless it was possible to get them here promptly. While it is thought unlikely that the embargo will be. maintained without modification for any considerable length of time, since that would work a hardship on the woolgrowers of the English colo nies, there is nothing to indicate that there will be anything like a normal movement until well into the new year. "If domestic users of wood are. not able to secure supplies from over" the seas, they must of necessity depend on domestic supplies until the im ported wools are available, andjpresent signs are that it will be along in Feb ruary before anything except domestic wool will be offered in quantity. Since stocks of the latter are already small for the time of year, it can readily be seen that matters are more in sellers' than buyers' favor. The man ufacturers do not seem alarmed about the future and are moving cautiously In the matter of purchases, but then the weather has been a 'little unsea sonable and orders for goods are not as large as they probably would be if temperatures were more in keeping with the time of year. '.'Wool merchants, in view of the foreign - situation, generally believe trftit every pound of wool they own will be wanted, and this belief is re flected - in absolute lack of pressure to sell and a quick refusal of bids be low what they think their holdings worth. They are perhaps more confi dent holders of the medium and low grades than of fine wools, but they are not disposed to sacrifice the latter, notwithstanding that it is a certainty that eventually materially lower prices must prevail for that class of stock. ."The business locally in Australian and New Zealand clips has been at 25 4 29c, while South Americans have sold at 24c for Hncolns and 25c for quarterbloods. Scoured wools have shown a fair degree of activity with sales anywhere from 58c for fine wools down to ,43c for low. and defec tive stock. Pulled wools, which have been taken by Canadian and English1 mills, have sold at around 48c for B supers. There lias been a rise of fully 4c a pound in these wools since the foreign demand sprung up. No busi ness of any account has been done In territory wools and details of the sales of delaine fleeces, aside from the quantity, have been withheld."

With no capital and with no capital stock, but with the good will of 8310 affiliated fruit growers, supplemented by the good will of several large banks, as assets, the North Pacific Fruit Distributors have dohe a busi ness exceeding a quarter of a million dollars per month since, tliey began operating 16 months ago. According to a report issued by the distributors October $1. they had passed the. million mark by $43,000 in the volume of this season's business on that date, and they consider them selves only fairly begun on apple ship ments. The report shows their gross receipts so far this year to be $1,043, 562.63. It is their practice to collect and remit to the subcentral organisa tions for payment to the growers Just as fast as a sale is made, the money received and the transaction properly completed and recorded. Last year the Distributors' receipts tuuuuuieu io J,uo3.03.oi net, not a single penny being lost through fail ure to collect, and this season they are considerably ahead of their pre vious record at the same period. - On October 31, the Distributors had shipped 3306 cars of fruit from tha northwest. 1737 cars being apples and the balance or 1069 cars, being soft fruits.

It Is nrobable that an official re count will be required before the mat ter is fully settled. Thompson stated yesterday that, regardless or wnicn way the matter went, he was. in favor of a recount of the hallots cast, and said that he would probably ask tor- a recount were he defeated.
