DECREAS13U WOOL IMPORTS.
or
From the figures furnished t.e
"Wool & Cotton Reporter" by th
jfleputy collector of the custom I
hou89 at Bston, it appears that
there was a very marked falling off
iq tb Volllffld of foreign woo
Vonght into that port dnring the
month of January, this year, in
comparison with the import move
ment of January, 1905. This fal
ing off is very noticeable in each
of the three classes of wool, Class
showing; a decrease of 2,170,349
pounds, Class 2 a decrease of 1,
873,361 pounds, and Class 3 a de
crease of 1,810,372 pounds, the
total imports for the month being
9,147,109 pounds, against 15,001,
191 pounds in 1905, showing
total decrease of 5,854,082 pounds,
The figures for the entire coun
try covering the month of January
are not yet available, but from
what is already known of the pur
chases made abroad for American
account, the total import movemen
into the Uoited States seems quite
likely to show a corresponding
falling off. The large supplies of
foreign woo's existing here towards
the close of 1905, as was evidenced
by the large amount of wool in
bond, reported by us, which was
far in excess of that of the corres.
ponding time in the previous year,
and the unsatisfactory margin of
Drofit realized on many of the
m. w
wools imported during the year
1905, have been the chief causes of
the decieasei purchases of wool
made in Australia and South
America for American account,
which are now being reflected in a
falling off in imports into this
country. But if importers had
been anticipating a strengthening
markpt on wool, it is hardly con
ceivable, even after allowing for
the supplies carried over, that they
would not have contioued to buy
on a fairly liberal scale, asthesup
p'ies of domstic wools, barriDg
some of the short clothing and felt
ing wools, wpre very small. The
wool trade were evidently appre
hensive as to the future and were
determined to buy within con
servative limits; and they did so.
The question now suggef-ts itself
whether the importers of woo
have ben over conservative in
their purchases made abroad
whether they have correctly gauged
the future needs of the maiket
whether the requirements of con
Burners will not be such as to
justify the securing of more foreign
wool than has been arranged for.
Total imports for the year ending
December 31, 1905, were close to
150,000,000 pounds, bat if the cur
rent import movement is con
tinned, relative to last year, the
total volums of imparts for the
yer 190G will fall consideiably
short of that amount.
A feature of the situation has
been the thorough cleaning up of
the new foreign wools in primary
markets, the rapidity with which
they were taken, notwithstanding
the backwardness of Americans in
operating. The rest of the world
wanted the wools and they took
them; and with the limited selec
tions to be offered at the London
auctions, maijy are congratulating
themselves that they did bo. Of
course, with the prices of wool on
their present high level, it may
not be that we shall see any
further rise of conseqaence; but
supplies are so well in hand, and
the textile industry is so well em
ployed both at home and abroad,
the needs of English and con
tinenttl coLBumers being evidently
ho large, that it is natural that the
consensus of opinion in London at
present, bb expressed in cble ad
vices teceivcd tLis week, should be
that wool values are to remain firm
at the March auctions. Our York
shire correspondent this week
takes the view that men have un.
derestimatel the increased con
suming capacity of the manufactur
ing world; and points out that
there is "aB much clamoring for
wool as there ever was, and those
who have contracts made are being
pressed for delivery." American

The State Printer's KiwpJ.iiiiien t.
It would seem that a campaign for
the nomiatton of republicans, waged
among KepubloianS, Dy jtepuoucan
candidates, should at leant be free to an
fml an extent as possible from thoee
little ways pf the pettifogger, of the
demagogue, and the cheap pohtican.
One cf the candidates for nomination
for the office of state printer, however,
publishes a circular letter which is both
on just and untrue, at least In its infer
ence, and which carries with it a reflec
tion on the past administration of that
office which is unworthy of any man
who asks the suffrage of the people and
expects their charitable consideration,
and shro'd have it, when his term of
office might come to expire.
He says in this letter that the state
printing office "Is the means of extract
ing large earns of money from the treas
ury for which the people of Oregon get
no equivalent benefit" and farther says
that he p'eikes himself to a great re
daction in the enormous cost of tbe of
fice if elected as state printer.
Tbe gentleman making this campaign
has had political experience in the past
and has served several years at tbe
capital building in a position of more or
less trust and honor. He knows, there
fore, that the state printer performs
simply the work demanded of him by
the various officials of the state, and
that he does no work that has not for its
warrant authority of law. He knows
also that the emoluments of the office
come through properly audited chan
nels, and that the amount that he shall
receive for his pay is reported to the
auditing officers by an expert printer
appointed by the chief executive, who
measures every line ef work done by
the state printer. The law fixes the
amount of possible charge ; it provides
how mmb tbe printer shall receive for
his work. A state printer could ask no
more tban the law allows and certainly
tbe people do not expect him to en
deavor to collect less than the law al
lows for bis services.
The man who has made himself a
candidate knows very well that be
could in no wise reduce the expenses of
that office noless he did it through re
fusing to accept his own just pay or
through doing cheap, and, therefore,
satisfactory work for tbe state. Tbe
rinter does not fix the amount of print
ng. Me does not provide wnai oianss
books shall he ued by the various
state officers end state boards. The
utimation in this man's circular letter
that he can leduce the expenses of this
offic-i he well knows is based on no
sound foundation. The people are too
ise to be misled by any such promise.

Asks County Judges for Informa

The foil twing is a copy of a letter
which Senator Fulton is tending to
Couotv Judges in various parts of Ore
gon, with a yiew to collecting data with
which to carry on bis fight against the
repeal of tbe timber and stone act,
unless tbe committee will yield to him
in his demand that 25 per cent of tbe
money received from the sale of timber
shall be turned over to the counties in
which such timber may be cut ;
"At an early date I expect the com
mittee on public lands of the Senate to
recommend repeal of the timber and
stone act, with the purpose of leaving
the timbered public domain so that it
cannot be acquired by private individ
uals. The effect of such legislation, as
I construe it, would be to prevent de
velopment of any of our timbered land
or use for any industrial need save for

passed into private control. As I know
