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.
