For se lected candled goods values are ruling at 25 4l24e a dozen and first at that. Wbtle receipts of eggs continue quite fair along tbe street, little of tbe stock la show lr.g good quality. This la Indicated by the fact that current receipts are selling sTong the wholesale way at 21c a doaen generally, wbile candled stock of first quality Is quoted 4 5c higher. Outside markets are not at all Interested In current receipts because of tbe poor quality and quotations sent from "3 ere for such of ferings do not bring response from Paget sound buyers. In fact, the reputation of the present qual ity of current receipts la now so poor In this market that few of the local buyers are will ing to taks s chance and most of them are quoting prices to tbe country on the basis of cracka and rota eliminated, - Outside markets continue to show liberal strength for quality eggs, with prices well maintained.

The New Yorlr Evening Sun'a financial review says: Wall street discussed tbe Mexican situation to the exclusion of all other topics today. The developments over Sunday, Including Presi dent Wilson's proclamation, mobilizing the National Cuard of all states In the union for service along the southern border. Influ enced a lower opening on the stock ex change, but probably because the selling movement on Friday and Saturday, which va Influenced by the disquieting rumors con cerning the turn of affairs In Mexico had discounted something, Initial declines were nor as extensive as mo t 'observers had anti cipated. There were few. signs of nnesslnesa and no psnlcky breaks, bu 'n the absence of buying, except that originating with tbe short Inter est, was great offerings of nervous specula tors Influenced by losses which extended from 1 ,t IV, points In the standard rails and from 1 n to 2"a In the war stocks and spe cialties In the early afternoon. Mexican Pe troleum and Hntte A Superior were conspic uously weak and the former lst In exceas of 3 points, while the latter declined 4 points and more. Something strongly suggested a war mar ket, the characteristics of whtcb are weak ness In stock and cotton and strength tn cereals during the later trading Washing ton advices were far less assuring than at first on the prospect of escaping hostilities Munr special issues reflected biases of 2 to 4 s-.nie going 5 or 6 points lower. losses of 2 points or S'. were common among leading In dusirbiln.

Wllamette valley wool growers are boldlnr; back their fleece because their price views are somewhat higher than bidders will agree to. Several sales scheduled at Willamette val ley points recently did not materialise be. cans price Tlews of buyers and sellers were not close enough together. There Is more or less soreness among viK ley wool men. All sorts of prices are telng offered for clmllsr quality wools snd ltm sev eral occasions growers have come to the con clusion that a combination exists among tbe buyers. This Is deuted by tbe latter, who say that competition Is keen, but they can. not pay more for tbe supplies than they can get In the east, freight and a fair profit de ducted. Tills week a second attempt will be made to sell the pool at Slrverton. The first one about 10 days ago was a failure because nothing sbove S5Vc was offered. The next sales will take place June 24.

The of ficers were installed last Saturday night by National Director T. J. Rat chffe, assisted by the officers of Port land lodge. Loyal Order of Moose. The Portland party arrived late In an auto bus. having been lost on the road, but arrived In timet for the banquet that followed the ceremonies. Weakness of an Intense nature was shown In foreign wbest markets for the day, and lower prices were generally forced, but in Obicsgo there was an early showing of strength, with fractional price advances for option. There Is nothing at all doing in the borne trade. Even milling Interests are seemingly no longer Interested In the market, although here and there reports Indicate that some limited lets are being taken by parties from their own warehouses. Efforts tq, move new crop hay are still a failure. Growers are showing no disposition to weaken from tbelr previous high price Tlews and buyers are disposed to await a more favorable oportunlty to take bold.

Tbe most antagonistic domestic factor apparently Is the labor situation. There was a delnge of selling orders In tbe room Immediately follow ing tbe opening today, but absorption, seemed to be of good order. The rails opened generally weaker, bnt la the first hour almost complete recovery was posted to decidedly active and broader trade. Reading was In heaviest movement, and ad vanced from 10214 to 108 on first sales.
