Leading Interests today acknowledge that It peace waa today declared in Europe, the price ot wheat here would be even higher than if warfare continued. The difference between, the price of new cron 'wheat here and in the east is far too great. ; Crop condltkma la the east are said to J ba mneh laaa favorable than anticipated S. short time ago. t Iamage reports are coming from various sections. Pacific northwest con ditions are usually considered A-l. Grata bag speculative Interests are" still try ing to force prices higher. They are using the probable late arrival of some of the bags as a basU to force the farmer to pay more for his requirements. In some quarters there Is doubt about the wisdom of tola coarse.

Sales of wool at Willamette valley points and lu eastern Oregon, as Well as In Idaho, fully confirm the forecasts of strength la this paper during the last few months. : Sales of wool were made at Selo yesterday sfternoon st 31 c a pound: 2500 fleeces going at the extreme msrk. . The . regular sales at Echo, the second of the series at that place, snowed the buying interests to be - rather : anxious to take - bold. The American Wookn company, the " concern that has received milliona of dollars' worth of urders tor foreign delivery, and the French Worsted company were the buyers. Sales at .Echo were r.m fallows; ; s "' r B. P. Doberty, fine wool clip, 37,000 pound. 17f4 -eenta. J - s ' ; j. C. Cox, fine wool clip, 10.O0O ponnds, 18H cents. ... W. W.

' The great strength of the wool market is In dicated by the following late mall advice from Boston: - - ; The wool market "eoatlnues ; active and strong,' buyers eagerly picking up .foreign wools and showing a good deal of Interest In domestic clips. There has been a really big business In fine Australian aad Cape wools. One house alone reports a transfer of 600,000 pounds of South American quarter-bloods. witch leavea the market rather bare. ' Increased ; Interest has been shown in the new territory wools, the best B super-pulled wools, commanding more money than the next higher grade, while the clean ap ot old fleece wools la still In progress.'.: New Missouri clips coming in are finding a prompt- sale. - Save for palled wools and ; the old fleece wools, the prices : paid have been the highest of the year. Superior warp Australian 64s hsve brought 6870e clean, while nothing ex cept very short wools of this grade have sold below a clean cost of 66c. la the grease, these wools range from 84336c, and abow sell ers a handsome profit. The range on fine Cape wools la 6865c clean, which Is a rise of 3c per pound on the lower sorts over recent prices. South American quarter-blood wools have sold at 39c for low snd 41c for high, easily the highest pricea of the year, while 40c has been obtained for Montevideo 58s. Very little South American wool, particularly of the me dlnm grades, , is left In dealers' hands. New territory wools, especially the three-eighths and half-blood, have stood buyers at least 65c clean, a price also quoted for new fine wools. More than lOO.OOO pounds of old Ohio de laines bave changed bands at 28c tor un washed and 83e for washed, a few eenta be-, low the last previous sales; but holders were anxious to clean up at a good profit, and new clips aer beins offered here on a basis of about 2Uc. New Missouri -quarter and three eighths bloods mixed have sold at 35c Com mon and braid wools from that state are rated at 82e, slightly burry clips at 29c, B super pulled wools '65c. . The new movement of wool is explained by the war and the practical elimination of for eign competition.. Many expect more foreign orders for American mills. MUTTON, LAMBS .
