SPORTSMEN ARE SELLING ENOUGH FISH TO OPERATE A CANNERY
MOHAIR MARKET IS
TENDING DOWNWARD;
PRICE IDEAS LOWER
Latest Sales Are 1 54 c Pound Less
Than First One- Turkish Situa
tion Not Generally Understood
No Substitute for Woof.
The sale of the Riddle mohair pool
yesterday afternoon at 31c a pound
or lVc a pound below the -first pool
aale this season, indlcafea a weaker
teellng In the trade as well as a lack
of speculative tendency.
Even tbe prevailing price is consid
ered too high or the big buyers to
participate In the trade. The first
sales of mohair this season were at
Walker where 32 c a pound was re
ported obtained. The next was at Ed
dyville where Norton paid 31e a
- pound for about 20,000 pounds. The
. third sale was the one at Riddle where
the market dropped to 21 He The
next one will be at Scio on Friday. It
is expected that 12,000 pounds will be
offered.
v.. There seems to be some mistaten
ideas regarding the mohair situation at
this time. In some quarters the belief
prevails that owing to the European
war and the fact that Turkey will not
be able to market its mohair, will mean
much to the trade here. This is a de
batable auestion. ,,., . ,
Practically all the Turkish mohair is
sold each season to English and Ger
man interests. None of this enters
- the United States except In periods of
exceptional prosperity and demand to
gether with the inability of the home
'trade to fill requirements. -Therefore
no far as the inability of the home
trade to secure the Turkish mohair is
concerned, this is not likely to have
any Affect upon the trade.
The only possible effect that the
Turkish situation can have is to force
buying of our "hair" by England, ir
this occurs there will be a liberal ad
vance in the price here. . .
In some quarters the report Is being
spread that owing to the high price
'of wool some manufacturers are fig
uring upon using mohair as a substi
tute. . This would scarcely force the
price higher because if mohair Is util
ized as a substitute for wool it would
be so used only because it was cheap
er. At the present time mohair is
higher than wool, therefore even ir
suc h a thing was possible, it would not
be likely. r
TWO CARS OF STRAWBERRIES
Two cars of strawberries, both from
California, arrived on the local market
i a ii'r.i ir,wer. One car
came from Los Angeles and the other
from Fresno. Sales of the former at
J2.2S and the latter at 75 85c, ac
cording o size of crate.
COOOANUTS COME IN ROUGH
Shipments of cocoanuts in the rough
.state arrived on the local market to
day and attracted considerable atten
tion The stock was carried in large
bundles. The shipment came via San
Francisco.
HOGS SCARCE OX STREET
Dressed hogs are very scarce along
Front street and the market is firmer.
Good veals are also scarce but poor
?uality is coming forward in quite
air supply. Prices generally un
f changed.
MORE EGGS ARE COMING
Front street reports in more egg sup
plies today than for some time past.
This Is believed to be due, to the fact
that the storage interests have been
securing more than they were able to
take care of. Prices about the same.
CORN PRODUCTS ARE HIGHER
Owing to the firmer trend in the corn
trade recently in the east, corn prod
ucts are showing fair advances In the
local market. Price rises were reported
today in syrup, corn meal and starch.

SALMON CANNERY IS
OPERATING HERE IN
THE CLOSED PERIOD
Sufficient Salmon Being' Sold by
Money - Making Sportsmen to
hive Ton a Day to Local Plant-"
Officials Are Astonished.
J,
ne of the "sie-hts" In the trade at
this time is the fact that a big salmon
cannery is being operated in this city
during tho closed season for commer
cial fishing.
Notwithstanding the fact that regu
lar! fishing operations are not allowed
by flaw, this salmon cannery ia said to
have obtained fully a ton of fish at
Oregon City from commercial fisher
men, ope.-ating as sportsmen with hook
and line.
According to an official of the state
fish commission, this is proving one
of the real weaknesses of the Oregon
law. The sportsmen are allowed to
catch three fish a day and can sell
them in the open market While net fish
ermen are not allowed to operate. The
sale of these fish, according to a state
Official, can scarce! v he ree-iilat un
der! present conditions, thereby defeat
ing me very purposes or the law
which seeks to protect the salmon dur
ingt the early spring run.
It is stated that measures will be
taken to either prohibit entirely the
sale of fish caught during the present
closed season, or else open the season
and rivers so that anyone can fish at
any time.

A better feeling is shown in the
cereal trade. California is asking for
millstuffs. Some purchases of bran
are reported for southern account, and
while no sales of shorts are indicated,
stocks of the latter are. said to be mod
erate here. Prices are now quite well
maintained.
California' is also a buyer of wheat
for milling purposes, although busi
ness is not brisk. Prices in this line
are quite well maintained, for cash
stuff. .
Oats and barley show a similar
trend.
Flour market continues extremely
limited. Millers report that prises' are
generally maintained, there being not
enough business available at this time
to fight about.
Grain bag market is erratic with
some anxiety expressed regarding sup
