Trade in Wool Is
Active in Interior
Sales Are Increasing and Prices
Showing Strength Less Trad
ing in the Valley.'
Trade In tbe wool market at Interior points
continues rather liberal with further business
reported ss high as 30c a pound for best
qunlily.
Sales of wool in the Interior have been so
liberal at extreme values of late that a
greater per cent of the clip has been con-
trr.cted than normal.
Kor this stock Oregon-Idaho sheep interests
r.sve received more money rtlan ever before
In the history of the industry, Uklng tbe se
gregate sales ss a basis.
In tbe Willamette valley there Is not quite
so much activity. Trice In tbe valley have
been uiiusiially erratic! While there b.i beep
ti.lk of business as high as 37c a pound,
practically nothing can be confirmed at this
figure; jn fnc.t a 35c market 1 considered
cmewhat high by the average trader. Owing
t i the many rumors lacking confirmation In
the valley, It Is Impossible for even leaders
of the trade to state definitely what the mar
ket is.

No real strength Is showing in the grain
market In aqy part of the world for the day.
European oisrkete are very Indifferent to
American offering at the moment. At Chi
cago there was a disposition to weaken and
become depressed In tbe early day's trading.
Locally tbe market has been drifting for a
number of days. At interior points some small
lots sre reported sold, but there Is no keen
ness among luiyers to take hold. Exporters are
scarcely Interested, and millers seem to have
secured their immediate wants, and are there,
fore not anxious for additional supplies at
piexslling prices.
Oats and bnrley markets are quiet In the
Interior, although some showing of strength Is
Indicated for the former. Locally the gen
eral tfade lias been quiet.
I'.roomhaJl cabled from Liverpool that spot

Wheat steady. American strength later
eased with freer native offers, ami spot were

lighter export clearances elsewhere. Continen

As exclusively forecast in these columns, the
official opening price of Columbia river spring
peck salmon has been placed at $1.30 for
pound talis and $2 for pound flats. These are
exactly the same a, a year ago. Other .be.
ere likewise unchanged at the 1915 opening. I
W'bile It Is true that a abort time ago there
was some likelihood oT an advance of 10c per 1
dozen being named this year in the price f I
fi-noed cbiuiK)ks because of tbe higher cost j
of all materials that enters the cans, still
j the fact that there baa been a very liberal
carryover from last year, caused lesders of the
t olumbia river industry to Insist upon keepiug
values from advancing.
One or two tired holders were Inclined to
speak for a fractionally lower price, but wh-Ti

lnhoma and Kansas today eut the prh n of
wheat downward. All three wheat options
ojened slightly under the close and lost be
tween 1 and 2 cents during the first hour.
At tbis point the market took on a firmer
tone and many believed that it would hold
steady or advance slightly. Tbe bearish trend
was noticeable in both oats and corn and had
Its effect on the provisions market. Oats and
corn opened under and sold slightly below
the opening quotation. The majority enti-H-ent
on corn was bearish, with a tendency to
sell on the rallies. Oats sentiment was simi
lar The weakness and decline In the pro
visions market waa attributed mainly to the
efforts of the packers to gain lower b .g
prices. Outside fpeculstfve trading was light .

Orpet May Kiss
Mother Each Day
WauSegan, 111., May 27. (I. N. S.)
William Orpet, on trial here for the
murder of Marian Lambert, may kiss
his mother each morning when he is
brought into court.
Prosecutor Dady, who at yesterday's i
session declared that the usual greet
ing between mother and son might af- j
feet the jurors, and asked that It be
stopped, relented today. He asked
Judge Donnelly to disregard his re
quest. When Orpet entered the court room
this morning he walked over to his
mother, threw his arms about her neck
and kissed her twice. Then he lookec"
defiantly at Dady, and the latter rose
and withdrew his request. Orpet eat (
down with a self-satisfied smile.
Later Judge Donnelly voiced the pri
vate opinion that Dady would have
erred if he had insisted that Orpet and
his mother be separated.
Both sides today tentatively accepted
three jurors of the third panel. Only
one now remains to be chosen refore
the taking of evidence begins.

Peace Talk Has
A Bullish Effect
New York Mav 27. (I. X. S. With peace
talk strong, tbe "bear sgaln gripped tbe ni-r.
Vet here. and. led by tbe Industrials., the en
eutire stock list declined, fractionally In K'tue
, Instances and 12 points tn others, iraoing
was heaviest In tbe Industrial rlssw and rat'.icr
. light in the majority of tlse'rsil'.
! Reading opened st 103','j. fractionally over
' the close, and during the first bour'a trading
lost 3 points.
Steel snd copper storks also were affected
, by the bearish movement. The disposition In
j the msrket, it Is believed. Is to await some
! new Initiative. In ibe meantime an irregubir
n.isrket Is promised. It Is stated fhst no defl
' nite market can be expected until sfter the
j liepubllcan national convention.
Tbe preseut Irregularity is taken by many
i as a breaking spell after continuous hle'j-fcpeed
i buying. At the same time the professional
I element Is dissatisfied with market move
ment. Foreign liquidation has ts?en -a lactor
in holding the mils down. This class of
stocks, it Is predicted by many, will see a
strong bullish movement soon.
