TITE MOItXHsG OKEGOXIAX. "WEDNESDAY. APRIL 9, 1913. is RISE WILL DELAY IT Contract for Public Landing Awarded and Work Will Start in Summer. PROSECUTION IS ORDERED City Attorney Urged by Dock Com-ml.-Mon to Take Legal Action Against Violator of Ordi nance Regulating Fills. There will be no motorboat landing built for the accommodation of the general public this Bummer at the foot of Stark street. The landing will be built, but tho Commission of Public Hocks has decreed that the work can not be undertaken during- the present stare of water. As the Weather Bu reau forecasts that the Willamette will average in height from eight to nine leet above xero until the June rresnet passes, it i thoiiRht the work win be Inaugurated in the summer. At an adjourned session of the Com mission yeMerdav It was decided to ward a contract for the landing to t!e Lewis A. Hicks Company on a bid of til. 000. Tcndsrs were opened Thursday, and as It was stipulated by the Hicks interests that the project would be carried on during the low water stage, the bids were referred to City Attorney Grant, who Deported to the Commission that they could reject all tenders and readvertlse. G. R. Hfgardt. chief enslneer. in formed the t'ommlsslon that the bid was the came as the estimate he had compiled of the cost, which waa based on the work being carried on during low water, when the expense of con structing a cofferdam for the founda tions would be less than during a rl.-e. and In his judgment, ho said, the low est bidder probably would make the same progress as others who sought the work. IVerk WltNoot Oclr.y Ira-erf. John Burgard said he favored get ting the landing ready without delay when conditions would permit the foundations being started. Ben Selling waa In favor of the bid being accepted, but K. W. Mulkey. chairman of the Commission, urged the rejection of all figures and readrertistng. When a vote waa taken and the bid accepted. Mr. Mnlkey asked that the minute show a rradvcrtlsement. Mr. Burgard being of the same mind. Mr. Hegardt raid that when the time was deemed right to begin operations the contractor would be notified and that he must complete the landing In (0 days. Mr. Selling carried a motion that City Attorney Grant be notified that section 61 of the waterfront ordinance, regulating fills on submerged land, was being violated and that be take steps to proecute. The action Is the outgrowth of the refusal of the East ern St Western Lumber Company to sign a waiver of title to land created through a fill being made by the Port of Portland. In that connection a let ter waa received from the Port of Portland, explaining that a communi cation from the Commission of Public Docks, dated February 17. In which It was asked that the Port of Portland report all applications for fills so sur veys could be made of the area to be covered, had not been answered be es use It had been overlooked and was filed when the offices were moved from the City Hall to the Courthouse. Mr. Mulkey said the explanation was sat isfactory. Jolat Mretlas Coaaldered. At a meeting of the Port of Portland tomoirow the matter of a Joint session with the Commission of Public Docks will be taken up. There was also a letter from Gover nor West In which he acknowledged receipt of a copy of resolutions passed Thursday, covering the objection of the Commission to the fill in question, and lie said that the matter would be given hla attention at once. A communica tion from Attorney-General Crawford was of the same tenor. Mr. Burgard said he thought it strange that tha dredge Portland was continued at work on the fill in the face of the attltuds of the Commission. Papers forwarded to the East for ex amination by legal authorities In con nection with the proposed bond issue of St. 750.000 were reported to have reached their destination yesterday, and an early return is expected. The Commission decided to have ex tracts from the waterfront ordinance printed and ent to owners of dock property, calling their attention to the most Important clauses. Including the teps necessary before filling could be carried on. Mill. PKPORT XrX.KO BAILOR Three Indoirables Are Sent from Portland Across Border.

EFFECT OF THE WAR SCARE Supplies Being Accumulated In An ticipation of Possible General Dis turbance Assurance of Peace Would Mean Decline. There waa no wheat business to speak of under way yesterday In the local or coun try markets. . Price were nominal, but the undertone was Arm. as holders were not offering, except at outside prices. t- .i... . n frnm .11 ouarters was ex- ceedlngly slack. The large miller are well supplied with wheat and th small mills In th Interior are not buying and evidently have enough to carry them for th pres ent. California buyers continue to hold bHfk. The future course of the market is a mat ter for speculation. Stocks In the North we.t are light and wtth an active trade could he easily wiped out. but omo or the gralnmcn' are convinced that this will not H.nn.n and th.t prices are Douna to There does not seem to be any prospect for the Orient coming in. unless wneat ana flour prices are lowered. No help for hold ers Is found In any other direction. Th mills are doing a good domestic nour dusi- .... h,n me of them hsve stocas sum dent to carry them Into the nw- crop and they are all said to be well supplied. Whatever hanpens to the European mar ket will be rellected on this side of the water. The continental countries are now and have been for some time liberal buyers of wheat. There Is little doubt they have been stocking up as Insurance against a oos.ible European war. This ha kept con tlnental European prices up ond the Eng lish market have closely followed. Should th Balkan trouble b fettled soon and nenca assured, there Is little doubt mat wheat values would decline sharply on th other side and ll th American markets would, of course, be affected. Commenting on the European situation, Rroomhall says: "It is persistently rumored that Russia ha purchased two Plate cargoes for Odessa nd actually two Plat cargoea afloat have been taken by North Africa. The general demand la now centering with Australian wheat, possibly due to th fact that all nearby available Plat wheat ha already been purchased and thla ha been empha sised In th actual ale of Australian car goes thla week. French advices Indicate that reserves ar smaller than expected. Germany is offering native smaller than hitherto, but atlll fair, but leading German nrms are predicting continued large foreign buying, owing to th poor 'quality of native wheat. Importers' stocks ar light and this encourages expectations of continued large import. Export are likely to con- lnue liberal and millers and merensnts are now considering the possibility of a sub stantial Increase from Canada at reopening of lak navigation. 'Russia's possible ship ments are much debated. Local receipts. In cars, were reported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oata Hay Monday -'3 '- J Tuesday .... 11 14 1 1 Se"atoad.'tV. 13.351 162W 15 12i 1?

The two cars of Louisiana strawberries that were expected did not com to Port land. They struck a washout on th way north and vers diverted to Chicago. The shipper hv substituted two other cars and these will reach this city Thursday. A few left over crates wer on th market yesterday and, not being In good condition, some of them sold a low as 11.75 snd 2. Two cars of Florida grapefruit were re ceived yesterday. They were quoted firm at !5o.75 per crate. A car of Sicily lemons Is out from New York for Port land. Vegetables were In fair supply and all kinds were steady. Advices from Newcastle. Colo., were that Dollar strawberrrles will be moving from that point by April 10. The acreage is large snd the crop is in good condition. FOIR-CENT DROP IN BITTER MARKET Prices Forced to Lower I-evel by Decline In California. Local butter prices w-IU be reduced 4 cents a pound today. The new quotation on cubes will b 33 cents and prints will jell at the usual premium. This decline was expected In view of the fall in the Csl Ifornla market. Cheese Is moving out better and as stocks aie not heavy, the present price is likely to be maintained for some time jet. Th egg market waa firm and closely cleaned up. Hecetpts so far this week have not been heavy. Poultry arrivals were on a fair scale and the demand was sufficient to move them at steady prices. Dressed meats also cleaned up well. WORK IN HOrVARI.f IS UEI.AYEU Condition of the Roots in Oregon Not Yet Known. No deals have been closed In the hop mar ket this week for either spots or futures. The backward Spring has prevented any work being done in the yards beyond the first plowing and until the hills can be hoed It win not be known how the rooots hsve wintered. Conditions In N.w Tork state are reported by the Watervllle Times as follows: "Rain, high winds and occasional flurries of snow- have prevented much work being done In local hopyards during th past week. Hoppole setting la going on when possible, but so fsr we, have had no reports as to how the roots hav w-lntered. - No sales or business of any kind come to light on this market and things are at a standstill generally.

GOOD GAINS ARE RECORDED FayoraWe Crop and Copper Reports Are Important Factors Presi dent's Message Has Small Effect on Trading. NEW TORK. April 8. After pursuing an uncertain course with prices first above and then below yesterday's closing range, the stock market developed strength today and trading ended with a number of substantial advances. Fluctuations seemed to be chiefly the reflection of activity on the part of pro fessional traders, who found it about as dif ficult to move stocks In one direction as the other. Evidences of underlying strength were not lacking, but operators on both sides of the market were unable to attract a following. . - Of the various influences brought to bear upon the market today, the President's mes sage reoeived first attention, but its effect upon the market waa comparatively amall. At the time of Its delivery the list sold off sharply, but the movement was short lived and had the appearance of a bear drive, timed to th hour of publication of the message. The market grew dull. Renewed confidence was exhibited In the upward movement of the laat hour, and best prices of the day were attained. Reading and the copper stocks were especially strong. The highly favored character of th Gov ernment crop report on Winter wheat was a factor In bringing about the final upturn. Tho March decrease of 18,000,000 pounds, shown by the copper producers' figures, was in line with predictions. The bond market developed an easier tendency. Total sales, par value, $3,110,000. United States 3s declined U on call. CLOSING STOCK CANDIDATES. Reported by J. C. Wilson & Co., Lewis building, Portland. Closing Pales. High. Low. Bid.
