WOOLGROWERS1MAY GET SKY PRICES
NEXT SPRING BECAUSE Of EMBARGO
Action Of England in Cutting OF
Australian Supply Makes Manu-.
faCtureTS Squirm.

Reports from the east give many
indications of high priced wool next
spring and there is a possibility east
ern Oregon growers may be able to
secure figures that will almost make
their heads swim"
Wool prices are already strong and
seem in line to hold up war or no
war, but the biggest feature of the
situation n the fact England has
placed an embargo on Australian wool
as consequence of which no Aus
tralian wool may be shipped to this
country this season and probably not
until the close of the war, What that
embargo means to the United states
may be seen in the light of the fact
this country by itself produces only
one third the raw wool IL needs. The
remainder of wool for American use
has to be imported, chiefly from Aus
tralia. With the Australian supply
cut off by the embargo the eastern
manufacturers will have to rely en-
tirely on domestic wool 1t is a situ-
alton that is making the manufactur-
ers squirm and their predicament is
commented upon by Henry Clews in
his financial review for Nov Ia.
But the manufacturer woe is the
woolgrowers JOY in this instance. on
the face of things it seems entirely
safe to anticipate heavy advance
over the prices paid local growers last
spring. With two-thirds the coun-
try's wool supply cut off by the em-
barge II would seem all the woolgrow-
ers will have to do is sit tight and let
the manufacturers come to their
terms. There are men who look for
25 cent wool in eastern Oregon next
spring and the price may so much
higher than that. The only thing to
keep wool from going to the very
skies seems to be the fact that II the
price becomes too high people will
stop using woolens and will either re-
sort to cotton goods or make use of
heir old clothes, There is at present
almost no wool in the country and
some English wool recently purchased
by Americans in London was resold TO
English manufacturers.

PEACE PROSPECTS
BRIGHT IN MEXICO
CARRANZA AGREES TO FL1n.
NATE HIMSELF AS DOES
VILLA ALSO.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 17.-Diplo-
matte Agent Silliman wired Secretary
Bryan today that Carranza has agreed
10 eliminate himself under certain
conditions and that Gutierrez has
agreed to those conditions.
The dispatch was based on infor-
nation that Silliman had cleaned
from Mexican newspapers. The con-
ditions named by Carranza were not
stated.
Satisfied that peace is near, gov
ernment officials were considering the
best means of aiding the restoration
Of normal conditions in the southern
republic. The United States will not
ask Mexico to pay an indemnity or
the expenses OF the American occu-
patton of Vera Cruz.
1t was expected here that Carran-
"a will leave for Savannah. Georgia,
within a fortnight for a lengthy stay.
The prediction was freely made
that Carranza will leave before the
evacuation OF Vera Cruz. which will
start next Monday. villa also was
expected to come to Washington to
see Bryan and others.
Bryan could not explain why Car
rama has not quit vet but was GER
tain he would leave Mexico soon. Ad-
officials were confident
that only unforeseen complications
can upset the peace program now.
