Sept. 2S. (A. P.) Kxtremely conflicting conditions pre vailed in the financial markets yester day. Stocks were dull and frequently reactionary, while bonds were active, some of the liberty and victory issues mounting to new records for the year. These contrary movements were ren dered more obscure by stiffening of money rates, further cross currents In foreign exchange and mixed Industrial conditions, including the less promis ing labor outlook. Heaviness of foreign oils, especially Mexican petroleum, and pressure against standard rails with Pennsyl vania as the main objective, helped to unsettle the-general list. Steels, equip ments and various specialties which owe their rise or fall to pools also were lower in the absence of support. Sales were 435,000 shares. Call money opened at 5 per cent, but an unusually heavy inquiry forced the rate to 5 1-2 per cent at midday, hold ing at that figure for the remainder of the session. Time loans running in to nexi year were made at 5 1-2 per cent. The fall of marks to a level where they were represented at a value of 8-10 of one cent affected central Euro pean remittances. Austrian, Polish and Czecho-Slovakinn exchanges es tablished minimum quotations. Sterl ing was firm, French, Belgian and Italian bills eased, but Dutch and Sweedish rates rose substantially. Far Eastern exchanges again were note worthy for another decline in the Jap an rate and the further advance of bills on Shanghai by 1 1-2 cents. All bonds were carried forward in the first half of the session by the ex tensive demand for liberty and victory issues, but the movement was checked later, when realizing sales caused gen eral reactions from best prices. Rails and Industrials became irre gular and most foreign issues devel opea similar tendencies, sues, par value, aggregated $18,850,000. 1 DOM '1 BSLI.Vt THS UlAT 2fiJ!1 Tm im.tvms swimmimc pooc has ,,rnpJ .....

Fine wools have been in fairly good request, but stocks of desirable wools of those finer grades are not in plenti ful supply and so the buyers have been obliged toturn to other wools. Decrease Shown in Sheep in Kastorn Oregon. PORTLAND, Sept 2S. A survey by counties of the present status of the wool Industry in Orergon and Wash ington Is being made by the Oregon Wool && Mohair.Growers' association. The work is only partially completed, but sufficient statistics have been gathered to ; show some interesting data. For example: The majority of east ern Oregon counties report a decrease of from 5 to 25 per cent in the number of sheep on hand at present as com pared With last year. In the western Oregon counties the association finds that as a whole, the decrease over last year. If any, has been very slight. In fact, some counties show a slight in- rrease. The survey also shows the need of holding over ewe lambs in eastern Oregon to replace many of the ewe bands which are becoming quite aged. The survey showsthe demand for pure-bred bucks in the entire state to be much less than in normal years. Manufacturers are buying wool steadily in the eastern markets as their needs require. The demand is pretty general as regards grades, however, fine, medium and coarse descriptions being In request and prices for all grades steady, with low grades some what stronger than they were. During the pa3t fortnight the gnit- ting yarn mills are reported to have been more active and have taken fair quantities of quarter and three- eighths combing wools, showing a preference for quarter-blood grades. which hitherto have been rather neg lected and were consequently easy in price. The demand has had a tenden cy to strengthen prices on these wools slightly as the demand for low grade wools for sport clothes has had a Railway Strike Prosect Helps Ixiwcr Wheat CHICAGO, Sept. 28. Wheat had a downward slant most of yesterday, bearish aspects of economic conditions receiving much notice. The market closed unsettled &lc net lower, with December $1.2314 iff 1.23 H and May $1.27 3-4. Corn lost l-8(fi)3-8c, and oats showed an equal setback. In provisions the outcome varied fom 10 cents decline to $1.75 advance. 'A further drop in the value of Ger man marks counted as a special de pressing influence, and bo did the do mestic unemployment situation and the possibiliy of railway strike trou bles. Subsequently, however, prices hardened as a result of word that low er ocean freight rates and higher for eign exchange had brought about some export buying, estimated at 600,000 bushels. Corn and oats were weak In sym pathy, with wheat. September and December corn touched .the lowest prices yet this season. Shorts bid up the September deliv ery of pork, but failed to obtain anw offers. Besides higher 'quotations on hogs helped to lift. the provision mar ket. ; .

BACHELORS SUICIDE CHICAGO, Sept. 28. (I. N. S.) Suicides have Increased 34 per cent during the first seven months of 1921 as compared to the same months Inst year, according to figures made public by Coroner Peter M. Hoffman. The suicide toll was 365 for the seven months, with the month of May high est with 57. Three times as many men took their own lives as women. In age, the sui cides ranged betweeif thirty and forty years, while the married men was two to one over the bachelor. Almost one third were asphyxiated, with shooting a close second as the "means." Temporary insanity wa the motive In tho most cases, with despondency, due to 111 health, a close second. More Than Four and a Half Million Dollars Increase in Business The first eight months of thia year shows an in crease in business in Penney Stores of $4,700,735.76 over the corresponding period of last year. Such an increase under conditions as they are gen erally understood, immediately pompts the question, "What's the reason?" Under present conditions there is but one answer ' VALUES Pendleton has done her share in making the above increase possible and no section of the store has been more instrumental in the increase than the ready to wear department.
