'and , showed rood quality. : i ;-. Portland's first wool aaetloa sales held Thursday afternoon under the aus pices of the grovemment, are bow his tory Ib fact, i reeord-breaklny iilstory. Were It not for the f aet that some lots were offered here at the sales that eonld aot be utilized toy the; Paelfle Coast mills, the record would be still greater. In faet only about 28 iter cent of the wools were withdrawn from sale. If only the nsable wools were offered folly 90 per cent would hat been sold. Not only were the prices obtained for fleece at the government auction here hlirhlr satisfactory, but the sale dis posed of for all time the oft time re peated assertions of the eastern trade than Portland was not , a wool market center. Eact of the matter is that the Bale held here was the most successful held thus far by the government and eclipsed in interest the sales held at either Boston or Philadelphia. Total of ferings were approximately 1,150,000 pounds. The government sale is of double interest to the trade here. First of all it establishes the reputation of this city as a wool selling point, because the bulk of the supplies sold went direct to Pacific coast mills. Then the eales establish the fact that com paratively speaking the price f wool shows better net results and returns than do Pacific coast wools sent to the eastern triads. Wool growers of thel Pacific Northwest are now asbured of not only a suitable and prompt market for their fleece offerings, but they are also now assured that the big warehouse com panies here can finance their operations even better than can the eastern institutions.

Oregron vegetable growers are losing the opportunity to make heavy sales of spinach at liberal prices and create for themselves greater profits on Uieir farms. They are allowing both northern and southern growers to supply not only this market with spinach In heavy vol ume, but they are likewise losing trade with other cities that they could lust aa well obtain. Since Walla Walla placed its affilia tions in the spinach market with a Puget Sound fruit exchange. It has lost favor with the Portland trade for suppliea. Since that time Walla Walla spinach Is no longer given the preference by the Portland trade for Portland refuses to pay tribute to a Seattle distributor if there is any chance of getting away from it. With Los Angeles shipping fancy spinach to this market, Portland is giving the preference to the southern stock rather than to Seattle. Even the buying of southern spinach is not likely to be continued hero be cause local growers are beginning to realize that not only can they produce better stock than does either Los An geles or Walla Walla but it has a vast area that could be utilized for "this pur pose. This is especially true of the sections bordering upon the Columbia river. , ; . MILLFEED MARKET A .
