"I cannot tell whether Oregon wools will bo worth 1G cents, 18 cents or 20 cents, but I do know that the market indications nre very favorable to tho buyer and that the indications point to a prico about four cents higher this year. So Charles H. Green of Port land, the most prominent wool- buyer in this section of the coun try said this morning, when nsk ed about tho prices for the com ing clips, says tho East Oregonian. Mr. Green is stopping at tho Pendleton while on a brief busi ness visit to Pendleton, Ho de clared that ho was much gratified with tho conditions of tho wool market. "Tho market is much stronger than it was at this timo Inst year nnd without a doubt thero will bo considerable of nn ndvanco," he said in discussing the situation. "Thero aro many reasons to which wo may contribute it but in my estimation tho ndvanco in prico is duo to tho restoration of confidence. In nil tho other wool states thero is quito a bit of wool being contracted for nt an ndvanco of four or five cents over last year. "No, I do not consider tho nd vnnco in tho prico duo to tho plan of a notional woolgrowers ware house, although many of tho sheepmen attribute it to that " Solionk wants more met. HI My caWnullull II &'&. ply a speculative riso in prices duo to tho fact that a hotter de mand may bo oxpect"d. "Although there Is considera ble contracting in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming nnd also in other alatoH, there is ns yet none in Oregon, nnd the local conditions nre such that I would not venture to sny what tho price may bo other than thnt in my opinion it will bo bolter than last year." WXX GOOD VUKl 1'ouruary opens Willi good prospects for livestock values. While thero was some dullness in the general situation Monday, this was merely tho usual Mon day showing. Tho few sales re corded wcro at $5. 25 for top stuff, an ndvanco of 15 cents over pre vious high mark recently. Over Sunday there was only a slim showing of arrivals. A total of 130 head of cattle were received for tho 48 hours com pared with a nominnl number on Saturday nnd 13G head tho day previous and none on Thursday. That tho cattle market will hold very firm and prices stay at the top is the general opinion of the livestock trade. The trade is making every ef fort nt this time to induce ship pers to send in better quality so that a better showing of values can bo made by tictual sales. There is u better demand at this lime for finished steers and cows than during nny period of the present season and prices are fully as high. While of course demand is best for Al quality, there is always a call for ordina ry stuff and for this reason the small late shipments of cattle have been eagerly snapped up by killers' representatives.
