thorized the issuance of $4,000, five

that time was not quote so favorable

whom the bonds were contracted re-
fused to take the issue on the grounds
OF legal negligence In voting, and re-
quired another election before they

STOCK MARKET
BEST IN YEARS
LITTLE TRADING BECAUSE
OF LACK OF ARRIVALS
Wool Market Seems I'm Splendid Con-
acknowledgements Extends to all
American Centers-Better Grades
I'm Most Demand but Poorer Grades
are Advancing-Oats Advance and
no Trading Reported in Wheat.

Portland Union Stockyards, April
21.-A total of ESQ head of sheep
formed the only arrivals in the Port
land stockyards for the past "a hours.
Sellers are unit in declaring the
present market to be the best in years
so far as the demand is concerned,
but the lack of arrivals brings about
very dull trade generally.
Sheared Sheep High.
Most of the late small run of sheep
in the yards has been shorn, but the
prices obtained have been unusually
good.
Wool Market Firm.
All through the wool market a bet
ter feeling is displayed. The better
ment in the market is not confined to
the local territory but permeates the
wool market at all American centers.
Ir eastern Oregon the activity is more
pronounced than at any previous time
and in some instances reports tell of a
fractional advance in the price of low
grade stuff. While demand continues
best for finer woods the trade seems
to have come to the conclusion that
values for poor quality have been put
at too low a basis. In the Willamette
valley the wool trade is increasing,
but so far as known no transactions
have been made above recently quot
ed values
Petntoes Advancing.
Potato buyers are paying an ad-
vance of 10c per hundred pounds in
some instances for the better grade
of shipping stock. Prices in the south
are better and as high as $3.50 per
hundred pounds il being paid at val
ley points. In iobbmg way the To-
cal market Is fErmer and almost every
one is today asking s1.75 for best
quality
