East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-05-20
WOOL SALES At
HIGHER PRICES
VALLEY SALES REPORTED
AT TWENTY-FIVE CENTS
Reports Are UnConflrmed, However
Eastern Oregon Wool Sells for
2iH Cents-Cattle Run Expected
From California Within Two Weeks
Potatoes Are Still More Firm
Advance Slightly In South.

Several sales of wool are reported
during the past As hours which tend
to show the great strength now pos
sessed by that now very interesting
market. One traction is reported for
eastern Oregon at 24h or an ad-
vance Of lsc above the extreme high
point reached during the present sea-
son.
While unable to confirm all tran
sactions reported at Willamette val
ley points II is stated on good author
ity tina two deals involving small clips
were made on the east side around
24c a pound. Higher figures are
spoken of--even 25c--but the latter
stand unconfirmed at this time.
Cattle Run IN Two Weeks.
While II Is quote likely that liberal
receipts of cattle will be shown from
the California direction during the
next few days, the big run, the Flush"
OF the season, will not likely make
its appearance before about two
weeks, The grass season has been
just about as backward in California
as in this state, and the result is that
immediate offerings will be simply
the regular stuff that killers contract
for each season for early delivery, or
at time when there is but a noml-
nal supply of local stuff to be had.
-. -. There is n firmer tone gener-
ally in the local potato situation and
a ractional advance Is noted in the
range OF oregon stock i'm San Fran
cisco today. In a few quarters here
dealers are disposed to take profits
and for a while yesterday afternoon
the feeling was not so strong, but ii
was noted that whenever attempts
were made to secure large lots at the
price offered on small ones. the hold
ers began to strengthen their views.
The great firmness of the new pota-
TO market in the south because OF
the scarcity of old stock and the high
prices In effect has stimulated the
buying of old stosk here and at the
rate potatoes are going out the end
Will soon be in sight.
