CHITTIM BARK IN THE AIR
One Hundred and Eighty Dollars a
Ton Being Paid For 1t.

The selling mark for Oregon
chittim bark has in former years
sold at the home market at from
$40 to $50 ton; early this fall it
went up to $50 to 800 or A to Az
cents a pound, During the last
week, however the price OF bark is
booming. 1t has been strenuous
time for both buyers and sellers
and the end is not yet There is
much maneuvering and sparling
for advantages among all parties
interested, and it is difficult to
state the exact situation. Bark
was selling at 4 and Al cents a
week ago and the price gradually
came up TO 5 and 6 cents. The
latter was regarded as a high price
for the product and much OF it was
disposed Of at that figure. But the
price continued TO go up under the
influence Of competition until s to
81 cents was offered. At the latter
figure large quantity OF bark was
sold in Corvallis. The 81 was said
to be the price but it was rumored
that better figure was offered by
buyers in Albany and Toledo, and
only a half dozen sacks were bought
at that price. 1t is said 81 cents a
pound is now offered for the bark,
which would make $3.50 a ton
