WOOL MARKET.
Little Encouragement. Given to the
Woolgrowers.

The wool report Of Fenno Bros. &
Childs issued April Is says:
Our market, under the influence of an
increased pressure to realize, has slow
ly but surely settled to a lower level of
values, and, as a result. a large number
of manufacturers have been tempted to
operate, believing that the present af-
fords them a good opportunity of secur-
ing supplies on as low a level Of values
as we are likely to see. The most con-
spicuous sale since our last issue, and
one which, unless properly understood,
might lead to a wrong conclusion In
regard to the activity of our market,
has been the taking of some 1900. 900
pounds of Eastern Oregon by a Rhode
Island mill, at a price equivalent to 20
to 30c the secured pound. This, while
helping to relieve our market from Its
burden, has been anything but a salts
factory sale for the owners
In the transactions of the past week
we see increasing signs that we are ap-
preaching the point when a broader
market will be established under the
influence of gradually receding values,
and we have hopes that when once
speculation is melted, manufacturers
will see the necessity of securing sup
plies to protect themselves, and in that
way the market will be relieved from
the congestion engendered by a large
accumulation of old stock. 1t is Of pri-
NAL Importance to the trade that old
supplies should be closely sold up be-
fore a movement in new woods becomes
general. as unless this is accomplished
it places the entire wool trade at dis,
tinct disadvantage when laying their
lines for the new clip, as NO one can
definitely tell how great an influence
a possible surplus Of wool will have
upon future values.
Sales for the past week foot up about
5000, 900 lbs, against about 1904, 900
lbs. for the corresponding week Of last
year, and about 2.7s4, 900 lbs. for the
preceding week of this year. The prin-
cipal sales have been of Oregon about
1.500, 900 lbs. of Foreign about $50, 900
lbs, Of Territory about 500, 900 lbs, and
of Domestic f1eeces about ESQ, 900 lbs.

FIGHTING THE SOUTHERN Pa
CIFIC.

The Salt Lake and Ogden people are
again mixed up in one of those freight
rate schedule maps that only an old
and experienced railroad man would
attempt to unravel. The Southern Pa
.ciic has long Disseminated against Salt
Lake on freight rates, and this has
caused no end of meetings and confer
ences. The last move is a pooling Of
issues by the Rio Grande Western and
the Union Pacific which gives Salt
Lake the advantage over Ogden. 1t is
deemed a retaliatory measure by the
two roads against the Southern Pacific,
and while the Salt Lakers are pleased
the Ogdenians are up in arms and de-
clare that it is a rank injustice. The
new order Of things and the new sched-
ule went into effect Sunday.

SOME AUGUST SALADS.
HOW TO HAVE THEM IN PERFECTION.

In August the tomato, celery and cauhower are
all added to the list of garden salads. 1t IS true
that by various tricks of forcing and imDorations
from the South these vegetables may now be
found in market nearly the year round. They are
never however found in such perfection for salad
use as when they gathered from gardens In the
vicinity still fresh with the dews of early morning
The garden tomatoes now arriving In market arc

mato lately imported from the South. BY various
efforts OF the gardeners art the newer kinds OF
tomatoes have been made almost seedess and full

The Italians have for years possessed small to-
mato which Is nearly all pulp. and from which
they make their famous tomato sauces. Our new
American varieties not only possess the deep GRIM

but are of fine size and form.
