Prices are far above normal, but growers aare eonftdmt that still better lines will be forthcoming and they are in no hurry to sell. With the Use of mohair textiles steadily wid nlng, niohatr prices are more in dependent of the wool market than they were a few years sgo. latent reports from the sotuh wet to the Oregon Angora Jour nal lndisjite reduced weights in the spring clip, duo to drouth. It Is estimated the Texas clip will not ia over $.000,000 pounds, as against 8,500,000 pounds last year, with corresponding reduced rut nuts in Armona and New Mexico. The hair will be of good quality, however. Prices there run shout 0 cents for mature hair and 7$ 80c for kid hair. Conditions In the eastern mo hair market are not much changed accord! n gto the Boston co r r en po ri de nt of the New York News Rec ord. The demand la slow, but what business there is seems to be at prlcos about on a parity with those which have been prevailing for the last fortnight. Stocks In the hands of dealers are none too large, and with no additional sup plies from primary markets avail able for several weeks bidders of stork aro no Inclined to reduce their price i . Air. " ' s I CENIS OFFERED OTIS SKINNER Here is an unusual combination a dramatic version of Cervantes' immortal "Don Cjulxute" and Otis Skinner. Taken singly, one of these occasions might be looked upon as something of an event, but both on one program Is In deed a feat of fat things an en ticing theatrical table d'hote. This apropos of the coming of Otis Skinner to '.he Giand theater for one evening, Wedaesday, March 1 A, in Alekhnlr Lcngyel's comedy, "Sancho I'anza" batted on several of the more popular epi sodes in Miguel de Cervantes' story, "Ltm Quixote de la Man cha." If yo j know your "Don Quix ote" (and who does not?) you will recall the adventure of Sancho Panza and his donkey. Dapple, when they set forth to govern the Inland of Uarataria It is on this plsodo In the Cervantes story that the play "S-uuho i'aiiza" is boxed. Mr. Skinner, of course, plays Sancho, and from all ac counts the donkey Miares honors with him throughout the action. In tho play Sancho does nut fall in his government contrary to tho book, his relyn Is of eu2h success ful proportions as to cause the townspeople to demand his perm anon: retention as their lord and master. Jiut the sorrows of the populaco are too much for the tender-hearted Sancho and he eventually leaves for his own lit tle counlrysid.', and takes his faith fi:l l;applu hark with him. His ch.lfmg speech is typkal of the .haractcr, "Kmpty In pocket I came, iuid empty In pocket I go so you see I am not like other gov ernors!" Wo aro promised a most elab orate production of this play, with the ht.-iglng In the hands of Rich ard Holelawky, of the Moscow Art theatre. Thra are songs and npecial tmihic by Hugo Felix, com poser of "L.issle," "Pom Pom," "M irjolalno" and other successes, and lha dances and . ensembles have been arranged by Pert French, late of tho New York "Music Jiox Revue."

UNNAMED BUYER An earthquake rocked the local strawberry market today when Karl Pearcy made announcement that he hd contracted with a re liable northwest cannery outhlde of Salem to purchase 150 tons of Wil son strawberries at 7 cents pound, hix cents a pound Is the best that has so far been paid for Wilsons this year and the e noifiiccment means a straight cent advance on that variety. 1 livery ol the berries is to be at the Salem Fruit Milon. Aside from the significance of the gtmlxnt 1 cent advance pos sible In general reflection In the efitiro fruit market, tho movement as another significance of pei liar interest to W.lson 'Towers. Up to two ycirs ago Wilsons sold to canneries right shoulder shoulder with Kltersbercs and were deemed generally in the same class. Two yenis ago many ran tiers hid trouble with the Wilsons softening ln the cans and as a suit they dropp-.-d back with the soft berries, leaving the Klters- berg.f to lead the field as a can nery berry. This they continued to do this year with the Wilsons celling at 6 cents and the Klters bergs at 8 cents and in a few in stances as high as ft cents. This latest price fixe I by a north west cannery puts the Wilsons back up ln striking dbajice to the Kttersbergs and will wunn the hearts of numerous growers, par ticularly in tho hills where about all they can grow Is the Wilson vat: let y. J rowers in the hills had been hard hit by the decision of the canneries that the Wilsons were nofr in a class with the letters bergs and apparently some relief ie In sight for them.
