That Pendloton woolen mills are to be purchased by a large eastern con cern, their capacity greatly Increased and their output .varied by the addi tion of a number of new lines of man ufacture. Is now quite probable. An agent forgone of the largest manufacturing concerns In the United States, one which manufactures the largest and most unique line of Indian goods and which sells largely on etery Indian reservation In the United States. Is In the city today looking over the plant mid -is securing figures on the property 'from the Judds. If the mill Is purchased by this concern. It -will be greatly enlarged and will be made a subsidiary mill to one of the largest In the world, a mil! which has an established reputation and market, but which cannot supply its customer at the -present time on account of limited capacity. Pendleton beJng in the heart of a great wool district on through lines of transportation Is considered to be one of the best woolen mill ' locations in the United States and this company Is making a quiet Investigation of the outlook for the purt'hase of the prop erty. The name of the concern which Is looking over the ground la withheld on special request until the Investiga tion of the property Is made and re ports sent Into headquarters. How ever the East Oregonlan 'Is assured that If the plant Is purchased It will at once be enlarged to about a 30-loom mill. Its output will be more than doubled and a large scouring plant will be adde making a force of about 200 men and women necessary In the entire plant. H According to the agent wno Is now here, the market for special woolen lines was never better than at present and the demand for Indian robes Is constantly Increasing and It Is con sidered a most favorable time to en gage in this business in the northwest. The home plant of the company -which is Investigating is in the east, but the Pendleton plant would be headquar ters for the entire northwest terri tory.

"Honors" will go back to the Pacific Mall where he was formerly first officer. After a woman marries a man to save him she usually has all she can do to take care of herself. Henry Clews In his last New York financial letter says of the money sit uation and general business condit ions: The stock market has been suffer ing from over-exertion. Strenuous ef forts were made to lift prices to the highest level possible by driving out the short Interests, and the result was a pressure to take profits that brought about a more severe reaction than was expected. The late rise was beyond all reason; for prices had been carried not only above the pre-panic level but also above those prevailing last summer; and in face of a very serious decline in railroad traffic. A year ago business was extremely active and the panic generally unex pected. Now, we have fallen to a considerably lower level for all values, business has shrunk greatly In volume. and the railroads are threatened with a reduction of dividends. General business continues very quiet. The turn for the better, noticed two weeks ago, has become slightly more positive; and the tendency is certainly towards Improvement; the Iron trade and the cotton goods Indus try leading in this respect. There Is also a much more hopeful feeling pre vailing elsewhere than at any time since the panic. It would be unreasonable, however, to expect too much; and real recu peration will no doubt be a matter of slow growth. Something will depend upon the political outlook which steadily Improve," but more upon the harvest, the outlook for which must Involve more or less uncertainty. Both cotton and wheat are likely to show some depreciation In condition this month, owing to the excesslvo rains and low temperature. But the majority of the crops have had a good start this year and the outlook Is en couraglng, for experience shows that we always have one or two, if not three months, of deterioration after a favorable spring. The railroad situation seems to have reached Its worst. The number of Idle cars has begun to diminish, and traf fic in June ought to show signs of re cuperation. Earnings for April and May were very discouraging, showing a loss of 16 to 20 per cent. In the west a hopeful feeling Is prevalent, de presslon continuing .keenest In the eastern Industrial and financial cen ters. The market would undoubtedly be Improved by an additional decline. Fresh buying would follow, and ac tivity would be restored. The general financial situation Is sound, and after the liquidation of the past six months no serious reaction should be antici pated. A good trading market Is therefore possible. General Duller Dies. London, June 2.
