There to but little idle labor, in mis territory and the increaseed cost of living is not severely felt. , No new shipbuilding contracts have been dosed, but additional business is pending. Operations et the yards have not been helped by the rupture with Germany, and buildera believe the In dustry will be further stimulated; The lumber markst continues slow. owing to the lack of ocean tonnage and the car shortage. There is a strong demand from the east for wheat, but prompt delivery is required, and this cannot be guaran teed by shippers here. Much of the surplus wheat remaining in the north. wast will probably be forwarded to California in the spring months, Oats are being held at a firm price by the government buying for use on the Mexican border. Farmers and dealers in the northwest are preparing to han dle large part of the new crop in bulk, and an inspection law has been paasad by the Oregon legislature which wlU facilitate the change in the method of handling. There is a stronger inquiry for wool on the sheep's back and over 100,000 fleeces to date have been con tracted for in gouTTrern Oregon. In the eaatera counties growers' views are still above the best prices offered by buyera. Tbe . last remaining lots of 181$ wool stored in Portland ware houses have bean sold to eastern mills. Efforts to contract for Willamette valley mohair at $0 cents have not been succeasful.

Agricultural prospects art vary sst isfactory. The season is not unduly advanced either for grain or fruit in eastern Washington or for such crops as are produced west ef the Cascade mountains. High prices are stimulat ing growers to increase the acreage as much as possible. With wheat at 11.50 or mors farmers are anxious te produce a maximum crop.
