East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-04-15

OIcss April Ars-toCNCAdi
small sales of Willamette valley wool
are reported In this market for the
past 4S hours as high as zoe pound,
This is an advance Of 1c q pound
above the extreme high limits reached
heretofore the present season. Acl
cording to buyers the position of the
wool market Is now the best in several
years and they are more willing to do
business at present high prices than
ever before. In eastern Oregon the
situation shows a similar tone. Sew
eral transactions have been reported
there around Ice for very inferior
quality which would mean that best
eastern Oregon grades would sell
around zoe or fraction better. In the
east the wool market is quoted very
firm with manufacturers showing a
disposition to take on large quantities.
Record Price for Flour.
As has been frequently forecast In
this report during recent days. several
OF the smaller millers today made
sharp advances in the price Of flour.
One miller put his patents 4Oc barrel
higher than the previous list, this be-
ing the heaviest advance ever scored
In this market at a single bound.
Other millers forced their prices zoe
higher. No change In price is today
reported by the larger millers, but a
general advance will likely be shown
within the next day or so.
There is only a nominal interest In
wheat buying here because OF the very
small offering and the high values
asked. Several small sales Of blue
stem have been reported during the
past "a hours, one transaction OF a
lot OF slightly off grade stock being
given at sl.25 a bushel. while s1.so
was paid for Al stock. Several deals
In club were likewise reported around
;1.16 a bushel. Holders are generally
asking more money.
