The steamship Columbia, of the
Portland and San Francisco Steamship
Company, which left tills port Wedncs-
day evening with 50 passengers and
I lOO ton or ere uura 1 merchandise for
San Francisco, ia stuck in the ice at
Warrior Rofck, two miles oast of St.
1 Irlens. on the Columbia. River, and it
! impossible for her to mov lr either
direction. Small boats and river crart
are nnablo to approach the steamer,
and It may ?e several days before she
in relieved from her present uncom

While passengers are cut oft from
nil rommiiniratlon with shore they are
in no distress, a nd friends need hove
do worry. 'J' lie ship is amply provided
with supplies and fuel.
The channel in the Columbia ia nar-
row at Warrior Rock and for the past
week there toes ben more or less
trouble from ice Jams at that place.
Wednesday afternoon the steamers Su
vorle and Strathord mado their way
through, but with" area t difficulty. The
Columbia is in command of Captain

In as pilot.
The steamer Is lyintr In mid-channel

Captain Dunham was afraid to rislt
th heavy ice. He put back to a place
of safety.
Rivpr conditions are more serious
than they have been for many years.
At VancJUrcr the clear ice has at
tained a thickness of 14 inches. The
steamer Jessie Harkins, operating be
tween Vancouver and the Oregon shore.
had a. rousfh. experience yesterday. She
made two trip3 after 5 o'clock, but it
is not expected that she wilt be able
to run today. Snow began falling at
dark last nijjht. and this will add
greatly to the discomfiture of mariners
on the Columbia and Willamette
Rivers. Snow will aid greatly in clos
ing both rivers. ..
Manager Kullor, of the Portland
Kailway Company, will arrange for a
steamer to make a number of trips
below the bridge at Vancouver today
in caso the river in In such shape that
a r han no I cannot be cut through be
tween the rcjjular landing- places. For
a dhort npuce below the Northern Pa-
ciflc. bridge piors there is considerable

passaere can bo cut through at some
po mt.
The ppssongrrs of the steamer Roan-
okr. will bo brought to. Portland by
rail. The steamer in full up with cargo
b n a larre quantity of outward-bound

MAY BUY GLIPEARLY
Wool Market May Be Repeti
tion of 1905.
CONTRACTING LOOKED FOR
High Opening of London Sales Is
Expected to Stimulate American.
Dealers to Early Purchasing
In the Vest'.
Wool men are wondering It the ISO" mar
ket will be a. repetition of that of 1905.
In' 11 the hulk of the domestic clip wks con
tracted for on tlie .heepa back. The alsma
certainly point that way. The -Condon mar
ket has opened at an advance over the high
prices of a year a bo, and If this advance
is maintained, which la almost a, forcgon
conclusion, it la more than likely that the
merchants will enter Into sharp competl
tion for the new clip, contracting wherever
posslbla at such ierrnn .a they can male
below the coat of .corresponding foreign wool
lanaci in Boston, It is probable that such
buying- Is already under way In the West,
but If there Is any business of the kind be
ins executed. In Ore-if on, local dealers say
they know nothing; of It.
At the opening of the 100? sales In Lon-
n Tuesday, qunrter and half -blood wool
Id. at an advance of & per cent, but fine
id fine medium brought the prices that
prevailed at the closing ol the previous
sale. On Wednesday and yesterday the
firmness was fully as marked. The demand
froui America was a feature at the sales.
A ire from Boston yesterday said that
market was quiet and unchanged, and St is
explained, that the advance abroad has been
fully discounted.
However this may be, the markets of the
world have been strengthened to a consid
erable degree by the London opening, following-
the firm . tendency of the Australian
markets. The Christmas holidays had
hardly passed berbre advanced were scored
at Melbourne and Sydney, the rise, accord-
Ins: to some advices, amounting- to 3 per
cent, while others grave it as 7 Vs per cent.
American importers have been asked to sub-
rait tresh bids to Australia, showing that
the markets are still working- in favor ot
tbe seller. American purctiaaes Id Australia,
have tlready been heavy, making; a total
of 70,000 bales, of which 15,000 bales passed
through the hands of the Consul at Sydney
and 55.000 at Melbourne.
Should wool contracting start on a lares
scale, there will be exciting times In tlie
West, while the 11)07 crop, which Is esti
mated at 260,000,000 pounds, is being cor
ralled. Some conservative members of the
trade, however, scout the notion that mer
chants will repeat what they call the Tolly"
ot 1005. If dealers refuse to contract at
growers' prices another season like that of
1 VKV1 will be assured, with late purchases
both by dealers and manufacturers, with.
little, If any, profit for the middleman.
FUKRr IN THE EGU MARKET.
Dealers Believe That Stocks Are Being: Held
Back In the Country.
There is a flurry in the cs market, as very
Hsht arrivals are coming; from the country
and the demand continues strong. Prices
asked by dealers ranged from 51 to 40 cents.
Dealers are of the opinion that there are lib
eral stocks) In the interior, which will be
moved as soon as the weather settles.
The !nqulr for live poultry ia very slack,
as Eastern dressed poultry is still being of
fered freely. Ijoeal receipts are small and
this alone holds prices, together.
There Is nothing new In the butter situa
tion.
Strong: Kaatera Iemand for Hops.
Xhe strong Eastern demand for hops con-
tinuea unabated. Aside from a few email
purchases, nothing was reported In the local
market yesterday. A number of the dealers
went to Salem In the afternoon to attend the
Elks' celebration.
The latest date of the Watervllle N T.
Times estimates that in the two counties of
Madison and Onclda there arc not to exceed
15U0 bales of hops unsold and in Otsego and
Schoharie not more than 2500 bales.
' One Car of Bananas Mauled.
Four cars of bananas In good condition
wore in the yards yesterday, but only one
was hauled. A car of Japanese peanuts aleo
arrived. Cabbage and cauliflower are higher
mt San Francisco and will be advanced here
the latter part of the week.

TONE IS STILL HEAVY
Continued Weakness in New
York Stock Market.
LIST. MOVES NARROWLY
Erie Underwriting Syndicate Dis
solves, as Latest Issue of Con-, .
T-ertiblo Bonds Proves Unsal
ableTime Loans Easier.
vttw YORK. Jan. 17. The dull and
heavy tone which prevailed for most of
tne day in the stock market eeemed to be
due to. tvmpathy with the continued weak
ness in- a handful or stocks. There was
nothing like tlie general weakness- whicii
developed yesterday at any time during
the day. The general list moved narrowly
-cHi-r.Ktrrir.iit The taesltatlnc and Inconstant
movement of the market kept sentiment
much confused.
The fart became known today that A
syndic-ate had been dlasoivea vrnich unaer
wrote t.tt n last lm.e ot Erie convert 1 11
rsinrl r"CI r- ial dptalla of" tlue transactloi
are lacking, but It ws generally Deuejea
that the largest part of. the Issue had
proved unrialoable, and Tiacl been- matriDUtea
hastv sales as a result ot wtcle concessions
rrom the price ot the unaerwritlng. The
. ,1 1 .!iia - . n ma nfAKA
nutoomA or tne unuerwni ik is h iciiuuilc
ment of the lesson of other examples, ana
its rfTef.t "is enhanced by tlie knowledge that
similar condltlonH exist In the case ot other
syndicates. In order to move the market
for such holdings it seems necessary w
make la rare conceeeiona in prices. A liK
loune is .Indicated as necceeary in tne
ecuritles overhanKinc the market to se
cure new. capital to proceed with .the great
enlargement of railroad facilities which
railroad authorities seem agreed In consid
ering essential to cope with the present
business. But the belief sained ground to
day that there were special causes affecting
the stocks which suffered most acutely in
yesterday's decline, having to do with the
speculative position in the market, rather
than with the financial afTalrs of the com
uanles.
The rata for time loans for all periods
yielded to below 6 per cent for the first
time since the recent stringency prevailed.
The action of - Amalgamated Copper for sev
eral days past has indicated the yielding- of
earlier speculative hopes or an Increase in
dividend rate. There was only a momen
tary dip in the stock when- the rate was
announced as. unchanged. The cloning tone
was irregular.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par

DOES NOT EXPECT TIE-UP

IVom Parade Tomorrow Xlglit.
Despite rumors of the intention of tlie
strikine strecteir men to make an at
tempt to tie up tlie city system when they
purade tomorrow nlgnT. tne sireeicar
company is apparently Indifferent to thw
reports and will maintain tne usuai
service throughout the city. The offi

dared to join in the union parade tomor

charged. The freighthandlors are strong
