First wool of the 191 iea0B Has been
received In Portlands the Initial cob
Itrament com I iff to the Colamala Basin
Wool Warehouse Co. '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wools were withdrawn from sale.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.

By Hymaa H. Cohen ,.
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 are again gathering weakness in the
local market and with heavier offerings from
outside sections and witb a decreased demand,
supplies are being offered tt lower prices in many
instances.
some of the mill are still asking as
high as $40.00 for carload lots and $42.00 for
leeser amount, others are willing to do business
at $1.00 to $2.00 a ton below these figures.
Special reports received by The Journal from
country correspondents indicate that spring work
is well along in the wheat country and that in
some places sowing operations hjiie started. As
soon' as weather conditions become more settled
general seeding will start in the interior. Re
ports indicate that the ground is in better con
dition to receive the spring grain than for many
years past while the condition of the fall-winter
planting is moat excellent with very few excep
tions. .
