WOOL SO Two Hundred Thousand Pounds o Heppner Ptvduet Are Disposed Of in I'ast Week Early Minton-Shorn Clip iu. (OrcRonian) Two hundred thousaud pounds of fine staple wool, grown In the Hepp ner district, were sold In the past week by the Portlaud Wool Ware house Company at 33 cents. This is the highest price ever paid for wools of this class In the North west. The sales netted the sheep men 6 cents a pound more than :hey could have obtained during the selling season following shearing last Spring. The market movement has been steadily upward since the 1916 clip came on the market, and 'he growers who delayed selling pro fited in every instance. The ad vantage of marketing wool In this sity was also demonstrated since the Portland Wool Warehouse Company initiated the pojicy of .. interesting Eastern mill operators to make their purchases here. The first consignment of 1917 wool shorn from early mutton sheep was received during the week by the warehouse company from Rock Creek, near Arlington. Wool shorn ay packers at the local yards during fhe Winter has ben forwarded to the East. There Is nothing whatever pass ing in the wool contract market in Oregou, and but little is doing else where in the West. The early sell srs have disposed of their clips, and Dthers have raised their views be yond the point that buyers will con sider. The slowing down of business tn the Boston wool market is regarded as only temporary. Commenting on '.he lighter operations by the mills, the Commercial Bulletin says: "Possibly- the announcement of 'he quantities of wool which Great Britain is willing to allow exported to this country may have had some thing to do with the reluctance to iperate, annougn me iaci uiai ureai Britain is willing to allow 50,000 bales of Australian wool exported to this country is hardly considered much of a bear argument consider ing the fact that more than 10 times hat quanity was taken from Austra lia last year and more than 50,000 bales were bought in New Zealand alone. Of course Great Britain may find that she can spare more wpol a little later when the" military neces-ji cities become better established, but !n any event, the quanlties of colon- al wool are not expected to be any hing like as heavy as were obtained a year ago. "It may further be noted that the method of distribution is not yet do- ermined upon, and, besides, what ool is permitted to come to this :ountry will undoubtedly be' of the more defective type, thus yielding a minimum of clean wool. "There is the additional conisder ition of what quantities of tops and arns may be exported. No anncun ement has been made on this score et, although it seems unlikely that my very large quantities of either lass of stock will be brought in vhile the war lasts and the military equirements of the allies are so reat." Advices frrm the Cape report the market as less active and state that, aside from super combining wools and native sorts, the market is a bit easier. Cables from the River Plate show no change in the offerings now being made from that center. Off arings of Argentine wools have been made at about 50 to 51 cents for Uncolns, 52 -53 cents for average uarters and 54 cants for high quar ters, while below three-eights are motable at about 55 56 cent?, Montevideo offerings are not heavy, Sut thex also are on about the saru basis adhey were a week ago.
