NEW YORK. Dec . Th n.wg from
Washington affected stocks adversely today.
Throughout th slon th market wa.
alow until th 1st afternoon, when quota
tions wer depressed rapidly by an active
sealing movement. The attack was aimed
chiefly at tha railroad Issues. Many of
them were forced back from 1 to 2 point.
Two bills befor Congress seemed to sir.
trader, concern. They wer thos providing
for ths abolition of th commerc court and
for th physical valuation of railroads. Th.
former measure was cited as tb reon for
th sever pressure against Korthwest rail
road stocks, th explanation being that It
was tbea line which wer benefited I by
the camroerc court's action In prevendng
for th tlm at Last ths reduction In
freight rates ordered by th Internal Com
merc Commission.
Uncertainty as to what plan the Wabash
reorganization will adopt and as to whether
It will Involv n assessment on sharehold

The figures of the November Iron produc
tion showed a decresse of 66.600 ton, but

BREWERY AGENT ACCUSED
SaJooiunan sued- Says He Was
Forced to Sign Power of Attorney.
Answering a suit filed against him
by the Northern Brewery Company.
Tom Nlcklea. former proprietor of a
saloon at Jl North Fourth street, de
clares that he was defrauded by a man
named Hlrsch. agent for the brewing
company. Into signing a power of at
torney. Hlrsch, he asserts, promised
that the brewing company would pro
tect him from police Interference should
he violate the law and would aave his
license from being revoked by the City
Council.
Nlcldes gave a mortgage on his fix
tures to John Sourapls January 13.
1911. to secure a debt of (750. The
mortgage and note were purchased by
the brewing company. Subsequently.
Nlckles says, he sought to pay off the
note, but Hlrsch Insisted that he pay
also $2500, the value of the license.
Nlckles further asserts that he was
arrested and taken to the Justice Court
by J. D. Mann, whom Judge Gatens ap
pointed receiver of the saloon. He was
acquitted by Justice of the Peace Bell
and declares that the charge against
him was false and malicious and pre
ferred for the purpose of Intimidating
him Into offering no further resist
ance to the alleged theft of his busi
ness. '
The suit la also directed against
Sheriff Stevens, who has attached the
saloon to satisfy a Judgment obtained
by 8. J. Kamlnsy against John Pappas,
who says he owns an Interest In the
business and who was placed In charge
by Receiver Mann. The Edwards Com
pany declares that the fixtures belong
to that corporation because they had
not been paid for by Nlckles, who. It
Is asserted, had consequently no right
to mortgage them.

LONG LINES DUMPED
Extensive Liquidation Carries
Down Wheat Prices. -
MAY IS SLIGHTLY LOWER
Northwestern Crop Said to Be Large
ly Underestimated Stocks Ac
cumulating at Minneapolis,
World's Visible Decreases.
CHICAGO. Dec . Wheat sank today un
der liquidating- sales by hlsh-prlced holders.
On local capitalist alone cut loose from a
line estimated at 1.500.000 bushels. It was
a nervou. close, varying from the same as
last nlRht to o down. Latest trading left
corn unchanged to o up. oats at a de
clln. of o to o. and hog products within
S4c either way from 24 hours before.
Depressing as the day's developments
were In the msln aa to wheat, all th. new.
wa not of a sort disheartening to th bulls.
Late In the sesalon big sales of flour were
reported at Minneapolis and there was a
good-slxed decrease tn tho world'e aval lab Si
supply total. Predictions that th. crop In
the Northwest had been underestimated and
that nearly 30 per cent waa still In farmers'
hands, acted, however, as an offset. State
ments that the crop now would reach 170.
000.000 bushels. Instead of tha 142,000.000
bushels figured out by the Government ex
perts, had some show of confirmation in
the fact that Minneapolis stocks gained 1,
160.000 bushels in the last four days. May
wheat ranged from $7o to 93 o with the
wlndup at 98c. a net loss of c.
May corn fluctuated from 2 to 68c,
closing steady at 62o precisely the same as
last night. Cash grades were easy. No. $
yellow was quoted at 7071o for car lota.
Top and bottom figures touched by May
oats were 49 4 o and 48 4o with last sales
48 c, a loss of c net.
At the finish provision prices were prac
tically unchanged.

CITY'S GROWTH IS MARKED
Figures of City Auditor Surprise
Even Most Sangnine.
A. L. Barbur, City Auditor, revealed
to the members of the Rotary Club at
luncheon Tuesday some facts and fig
ures about the growth of Portland In
the last five years that astonished even
those under whose eyes this growth
had been going on. Reduced to terms of
exact statistics, the story of develop
ment of the city appeared more mar
velous than could have been suggested
by the most flowery of general state
ments. In 1905 the total receipts in the Au
ditor's office, according to Mr. Barbur,
were 2,1 55,711.65, while the total of
the first 11 months of the present year
overshadows these figures with the
enormous sum of $13,726,992.09. Dis
bursements in 1905 amoutned to $1,990,
550.62 and In 1911 to $10,448,471.03.
"The' number of building permits Is
sued in 1905," said Mr. Barbur, was
2050. During the present year 7245
building permits have already been is
sued. Hard-surface pavement has in
creased from 18.2 miles to 22S.6 miles
and the cost of street improvement
this year has been $6,415, SOI, as com
pared to $468,840.23 in 1906.
The number of city employes has In
creased nearly thrice and the cost of
Bewers laid In the city this year was
about 12 times what it waa in 1905.
The number of places connected with
the water mains has increased more
than 100 per cent and there are now 26
fire stations in the city and seven more
contemplated, where there were but 18
five years ago.
