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.

DEPENDS ON EUROPE
World's Wheat Prices Made in
Continental Markets.
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.

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.

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.
