THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 27, 1915. 3 WORLD'S WOOL TRADE IS EGG MARKET HAS A WEAKER FEELING IN IT ST. T Case Count Kales Xo Higher Than 1 Oc Now, V!th Large" Storage Operators yitrurin jr Upon Lower Figures for Xext Week. Egg market Is -weaker with the extreme top price for case count of ferings along the street today at ISc a dozen. At this price the trade has been quite willing to disposeyof Its - holdings during the last 24 huuis , ' Receipts of egg continue very lib eral locally. While there Is a email amount of business reported to north ern market, stjll the bulk of the stock is either being marketed or stored here. - Few of the larger storage operators have yet started their movement into the tee houses. Most of, them have been anticipating a lower price range, figuring upon the presumption that above , the price was dangerous for storing purposes. Only the fact that one valley cream crv started to boost the price and be- , gan storage operations early, caused the recent strength In the trade. 'Home of "the smaller operators have followed the lead of the valley cream ery but the larger ones have refused to take hold. Mt , , Naturally this latter condition Is having its effect upon the trend of the trade and forecasts are for lower nridAfl day r X7 tCz HHUBAISB MARKET IS LOWER Market for rhubarb is weaker and lower. While boxed, stuff in fancy . array is mill at $1.75. a package, loose fttuff is tquoteu down to 2c a pound in order, to clean up. Some of the latter Is not really farn.-y.- CniCKEX MARKET IS HIGHER f - Further advances in the poultry market are shown along Front street today with ordinary fowls at Hc a : dozen and demand twice as liberal as -offerings. Heavy hens for the Jewish trade would bring a premium. .FAXCt TURKEYS ARE WANTED For fancy, dressed turkeys a rather f' rood demauo is showing today in the ocsl trade.

Owing to the change in tides, it is believed that quite liberal receipts will be shown during the latter part of next Week. MORE IDAHO SPUDS HERE Another carload of Idaho potatoes was reported on the local market to - day, following the scarcity of local ' offerings. Trend of the wholesale po i tato trade remains firm with no fur-:- ther change in prices here. If BRIEF NOTES OF THE TRADE Sllghtlv better feeling Is shown for veal at 12c for tops. A carload of Los Angeles head lettuce was among the day s arrivals. Smelt supplies are again more liberal with improved quality shown.

RO HADING ARRIVALS OF MOHAIR TO BECOME GENERAL DURING COMING WEEK Shearing Is Well Under Way in the Willamette: Valley and Early Shipments Indicate Good Quality Jjimited Bales at 30 Cents. , t Mohair arrivals are h beginning- to como In more regularly from Willam ette valley points and within a week it is expected that the movement will be in full swing. Shearing- operations are now general In the Willamette valley and initial shipments to the trade here indicate that the qualltv will be very favor ablo for the year's output. Weather conditions are at present ideal for shearing and lor that reason goat owners are taking full advantage of the situation. Market for mohair is steady. Sales continue here in a limited way with 3H; being generally offered In toe val ley. There Is much difference of opin ion among the trade ua to the ultimate range of values. With Americans showing weakness for wool despite the foreign strength, it naturally follows that the mohair market miiBt pay heed. Just what effect the Turkish situa tion lwiU have is not known. In some quarters the idea prevails that it will force values higher here, but generally speaking the trade is not of the opin ion owing to general financial condi tions in this country. New Crop Options In Wheat Market Not Quite So Weak Chicago, March 27. New crop op tions in the wheat trade todav showed only fractional losses, while May wa off 2c at the opening. It regaine"d half Of- this later in the session.

TONE IN WOOL TRADE Even Thdugh American Millar Are Xot Huy'ng at Home, They Are Said to Be Paying More Money Abroad Growers' Ideas Firm. WitH decreased output of wool shown in the leading shearing centers of the world, the undertone of the world's wool trade remains Very. firm. Only in the United states is there visible the-slightest sign of weakness in the fleece trade. Even in domestic markets mill interests are purchasing heavily abroad at better ..prices than they ark aid to be offering at home. W ool growers are not being fooled by the present lack of desire among the mill men to take hold of--their fleece and they are holding for still higher prices In a recent issue, the Christian Sci ence Monitor of Boston, says of the general situation: "Wool; is steadily going to many consumers in the Boston market, and future demand is likely to be met with a fair degree of promptness now that a better understanding has been reached with representatives of the British government relative to condi tions upon which supplies from Eng land and her colonies may be ob tained. "The current movement of stock lo cally is not in large individual lots, but it is indicative of well maintained requirements and probable absorption of a normal amount as rapidly as it conies forward. "The attitude of wool merchants in their negotiations with growers, and in deals put -through in primary mar kets, has a similar bearing upon the outlook. '"Receipts for the first quarter of 1915 are running behind arrivals for the like period a year ago. -especially as regards imports, while this feature is partly offset by an increase this year to date in the amount of domestic wool coming forward. ""To those fully conversant with pre vailing conditions this showing is not surprising. Wool merchants here-have been unremitting in their efforts to secure all the domestic clips possible from interior points, in view of the difficulty of obtaining wool from the British colonies. "For this reason also a large propor ton of the imported stock that has been secured to date has come from South America, the markets there be ing practically the only unrestricted ones outside of North America whose wools are easily accessible." Price Changes in Stock Mart Small Excfept Bethlehem New York, Jlarch 27. Pric changes In the stock market were riot violent. In fact, there was a slightly improved feeling in the general financial world. There Is much more tendency to look for higher price levels. Bethlehem Steel was the leadina- factor of the day, with substantial advances early on the report of excellent earnings for the year.

Something like $56,000,000 of govern ment money on deposit in national banks is soon to be transferred to the federal reserve banks, according to advices from "Washington. That this transfer will b made gradually, with the funds distributed among the dif ferent .reserve banks, is the general opinion. There has also been a re vival of the project of depositing with the federal reserve banks a major part of the $130,000,000 now in the vaults of the treasury department. This plan was suggested last fall, but several i members of the federal reserve board j are said to nave objected unless the ! funds were distributed ; throughout the system. i Kerr Case Dismissed.

S1.00S bushels of wheat. Last week, li:.3tK buahels of wheat; iy,07a bushels of barley; 47,030 bbls. of flour. . Australia is urging the sale by the Pacific northwest of white seed oats to that country. Australia shipped prac tically all its oats to Kngland and i ranee to meet the nee of war con ditions and found later that not only had it sold its surplus, but had actu ally sold what was needed in the colo "les for seeding the coming crop. Iherefore there is an insistent call for supplies of oats here. While no sales have thus far been confirmed, it is stated that the bids offered are within a, fraction of what holders of the Pa cific northwest have been asking.- . Australia made its first appeal for seed oats to Canada but it is stated that the northern country was in a like condition as the southern colony and therefore had none to offer except at higher prices than shown here. To date this season, it is stated that five shiploads of wheat have been sold to Australia by Portland export ers. There is a demand for more shocks and while prices offered are generally lower than were beirtV asked here, still further liberal business js expected. r While there was a further loss of 6d in the cargo price of wheat on the Lon don market today and Liverpool spots were lower, together with a further decline this . morning in Chicago, the fact that Australia is likely to want everything available here has really created strength in the undertone here.

Portland's municipal water bonds which have just been approved by the savings bank commissioner of Massa chusetts, will bring 1 per cent more than was expected, according to in formation received by City Treasurer Adams. The strictness of the Massa chusetts financial laws require a close attention to form and security. which, if complied with, mean a positive pre mium, the bond buyer accepting the approval of the commissioner as an added guarantee of safety. Mr. Adams has just forwarded to the Harris Trust & Savings bank at Chicago, purchasers of the $400,000 issue, the entire batch of securities. The Harris bank bid in the bonds for 93.03261. Without the commissioner's approval they would have brought but 93.03. This means a premium of about $4000. New Bank Clearance Plan. .

"The four test bets In county bonds In the United States are Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, containing Pitts burg; Milwaukee county, Wisconsin, with Milwaukee as its metropolis; Wy andotte county, Kansas, the home of Kansas City, and Multnomah county, Oregon, in which la your own Rose City." A representative of one of the big bonding houses f the country made the statement during a conversation re-i garding the proposed road bonds with County Commissioners Ugh titer and Holbrook recently. Another bond sales man standing by echoed the sentiment, Portland was named fourth because the. counties named were listed geo graphically from east to west, but the bond buyers said that Multnomah coun ty bonds are unexcelled as gilt edge securities. "This is certainly an indication of financial soundness,"' said Mr. Light ner, discussing the statement.
