FUEL PRICES DROP
Commissioner Thinks Dealers
Desire to Embarrass City.
INVESTIGATION TO BE MADE
Air. Brewster Says AVootl Cut by Un
employed Cannot Be Sold With
Profit for liess Tlian $5, but
Public Offerings Arc Lower.
"What is believed by City Commis
sioner Brewster to be a concerted plan
on the part of tha larger wood dealers
to embarrass the city in Its plan to
sell at retail the 10,000 cords of wood
cut by the unemployed at camps near
Portland, was unearthed yesterday
when announcement of big reductions
ir the price of first growth fir wood
were made by dealers. Hand bills an
nouncing the reductions "for a limited
time" were distributed in borne parts
of the city.
The city recently advertised for bids
for the wood which was cut by the un
employed, but the prices offered were
no low that all bids were rejected.
Upon advertising a second time no bids
were received. It was decided then
that the wood should be hauled to
Portland and sold at retail.
Wood dealers yesterday announced
reductions of 25 cents and 50 cents a
cord In the same class of wood the
city has for sale. Wood whicli -has
been held at no less than $S a cord is
now offered for by some dealers
and at $4.75 by other dealers. At cer
tain times this wood sells for as much
as $6 a cord.
The city's supply of -wood cannot be
sold at a profit even at $5 a cord. Com
missioner Brewster says. The sale of
the supply at 14.50 a cord would entail
a heavy loss, he says. It has not been
decided by the City Council just what
price will be asked for the wood, but
it will be either $5 or $5.50 a cord.
Commissioner Brewster says he cannot
see how the dealers can sell their
first growth wood at less than fa a
cord.
"While I have been expecting- the
wood dealers to object to the sale of
the wood at retail I am surprised that
there should be the cuting of prices
in this way," said Commissioner
Brewtser yesterday. "I propose to In
veetlRRte to determine what class of
wood is being: offered at $4.50 a cord,
because I know the city cannot sell
its wood at a profit even at $5 a cord.
"I will bring; before the Council
Wednesday the proposition of entering
Into a contract to haul the wood from
the unemployed camps. It will be
stored at Twenty-seventh and, Savier
streets. In the meantime I will look
into the cause for the reduction in
fuel prices."

To a Rose.
Te thee, the sweetest flower that Nature

Thou atandest. thai fairest of the fair, ot
such
Great beauty rare, to trim the warrior

Sut thee, oil, rose! that doth la Portland

O Rose, whose fragrance Is so fresh and

Or in the sun-kissed pastures, green and

Our Portland Rose Is fresher, fairer still
Than any I as yet have ever Been;
Of fragrance I can never drink my fill.

To see the deep pink Portland Beauty fair.

EXPERTS SCAN NAMES
MEX VERSED IX HAXDWBITIXG TO
CHECK JITNEY PETITIONS. -
Council Discusses Submission of New
Measure to Voters Since Old
Oie Is Held I p.
Careful check of the names signed
to the petitions filed Saturday, invok
ing the referendum on the jitney regu
lation ordinance, was started yester
day by City Auditor Barbur. Experts
in handwriting- are to go over the
petitions to see that there is no repeti
tion of the alleged petition frauds at
tendant on the recent recall election.
It is expected the names will be ex
amined within a day or two.
Although members of the Commis
sion are looking to Commissioner Daly
to prepare a new ordinance to take
the place of that which has been sub
jected to the referendum, Mr. Daly
said yesterday he has not decided what
he will do. He says he will take no
steps to get another measure before the
Council until the Auditor finishes
checking- the petitions.
As the proposition stands now, the
only ordinance governing the Jitneys
has been held up until the city elec
tion in June, 1917. by the Invocation
of the referendum. The time for sub
mitting referendum measures to the
voters by petition In the coming June
election expired April 8. The Council
may submit measures, however, until
May 22.
It is proposed to force the Jitney
Issue at the June election by repeal
ing the ordinance and passing an
other for submission to the voters
under the initiative. A majority of
the Council already has announced that
it favors such a plan.

The local wheat market was Inactive. For
the most part the bids were unchanged from
Saturday's, and there appeared to be but
little demand. Only on bluestem. which
was a half cent lower, were buyers and
sellers within reasonable distance of each
other. Offers for June red Russian Vers
raised materially, but did not come within
the range of sellers Ideas. The course grain
market was equally dull, and no sales of
any character were posted.
The condition of the growing crop abroad
was summarised by Broomhall as fololws:
united Kingdom Weather favors sowlnc.
but coldness is checking vegetation, f unDlirs
ot native wneat are light and foreign ar
rivals moderate. Country markets strong.
France Weather favorable for croDS and
where planted Is looking well. Native offers
are light.
Germany All advices confirm Winter
crops good, and Spring sowing favorable on
a largely increased acreage. Food and fod
der prices are very high, except where con
trolled by the Government.
Russia Winter crops and Spring sowings
are officially reported as favorable. Our
agent reports Spring acreage about 13 to 20
per cent short. Some authorities report
large port stocks, but out advices do not
confirm this.
Roumanla, Bulgaria and Greece Weather
and crops about normal.
Austria Food difficulties are very acuta
and bread riots continue, with famine over
a large area.
Hungary Weather favorable for the crona.
but the acreage will be small. Damage
continues to result from Invasion.
India Harvesting is progressing without
interruption. Interior arrivals are large, but
export offers small and dear.

HOPS ABE SELLING AT LOWER PRICES.
Trading in Spots and Futures on Basis
of lOVi Cent.
A fair amount of business la passing In
th hop market at the current range of
prices. H. L. Hart yesterday bought th
Lackey crop of 100 bales at Hillshoro at
10 cents, and th Mitchell lot of 7-0 bales
at Gaston at th same price. He also se
cured several lots, aggregating a small car
load, from dealers and growers at and
10 H cents.
Th new crop Is also on a slightly lower
basis. George L. Rose, of Independence, has
sold 40.000 pounds to Lewis and the same
quantity to Durbln at 104 cents. Shafer
& Hartley, of Independence, sold 40.0UO
pounds to Brown at 10 H cents. Two 20,-OOO-pound
contracts were made at Alrli
at lO cents.
In its comment on the general market,
the Chicago Brewers' Bulletin says:
"For the time buyers and Rollers alike
manifest but little Interest In the hop trade.
That condition is apparent not only so far
aa trade with brewers is concerned, but also
in the primary districts on the Pacific
Coast and at interior New York state points.
The growers are occupied with the care of
their yards and at tha relatively low prices
now offering for 3015 crop contract, they
appear but little disposed to tie up their
coming crops. Crop reports from nearly all
districts are very favorable, the roots hav
ing wintered well, and the impression lb
that under favorable weather conditions the
crop on the Coast will exceed that of last
year."
Reporting oa crop conditions In New York
State, the Watervllle Hop Reporter says:
"Grubbing Is under way In the yards and
the roots are found to have wintered well.
Although the ground is somewhat dry on
the surface, yet the growers are congratu
lating themselves on the excellent weather
of the past week, which has permitted work
in the yards to be pushed very rapidly.
"We can learn of no sales of 1914s. It
would seem that the prices for last year's
crop had reached their lowest level, yet with
the entire absence of demand It is pointed
out that the market may go even lower bo
fore ther is any resumption of business."
Imports of hops into Grat Britain, leas
exports, for the month of September t
March last, both inclusive, were 83,155 cwt,
as against 20O.50B cwt. for the correspond
ing mouths one year ago, and 215.350 cwt.
two years ago.

Fine Prospect Lead to Selling; In Chi-
rag Pit ana Market la Not
Able to Rally.
Chicago, May 3. Prospect of a bountiful
and early harvest turned out to ba too much
of a handicap today for supporters of wheat.
In consequence the market, notwithstanding
a display of power to rally, closed heavy at
cent to 1 cents net decline. Corn fin
ished 1 to m4i144 cents down, oats off
Ts to 1 H cents and provisions unchanged to
7 hi cents lower.
Fairly general rains that fell over districts
east of the Mississippi, where drouth had
been threatened, brought about a rush of
elling In the wheat pit at the start.
Growth conditions for wheat west of the
Mississippi wer said to be ao ne.rly per
fect that the Crop would likely b the earli
est harvested In several years.
Com-sagged snore constantly than wheat.
Excellent field conditions and larg receipts
were chiefly responsible. Shipping demand,
although said to have Improved somewhat!
wss on the whole undeniably slow.
Oats weakened under hedging against
new-crop purchase to arrive. Rains East
gave an additional advantage to the bears.
Large receipts of hogs acted a a weight
on provisions. Continued liberal export
clearances, though, wer helpful in averting
any serious decline.
Leading futures ranged as follows:

Chief Sufferer,
NEW YORK, May 8. A succession of
substantial declines, with some slight re
covery toward the close, accompanied tho
course of today's trading In th stock mar
ket. Dealings once more were over the mil
lion shares mark, but a half dozen issues,
chiefly United Hiatea teel, contributed more
than CO per cent nt th whole.
Tha foreign situation. In its possible bear
ing on the attitude of th American Gov
ernment, was an outstanding feature, how
ever. Selling wa based on the belief that
Washington Intends to make formal repre
sentations to Germsny regarding alleged
aggressions agaln.t American vew.els.
Sales for London and Continental account
In this market, mainly of United Htates
Hteel, Canadian Pacific and Amalgamated
Copper, were the most extensive of any
single session since last Iecember, being
estimated at not less than 75.0OO shares.
War specialties were naturally the prin
cipal sufferers, becsuse of their recent phe
nomenal advances, but the entire liat. with
a few unimportant exceptions, manifested a
yielding tendency. Kteel, which early In the
day repeated Its recent high figure of 60.
fell back 3 joints, and other speculative
favorites. Including standard railways, lost
2 to 4 points. Bethlehem Steel, Westing
house Electric. New York Airbrake, 1're.aed
Steel Car and the petroleums and motors
lost 4 to 1i points.
Coppers fell in common with other active
Issues, their decline being attributed to ru
mors of private shading of recent high
price for th metal.
Moderate optimism was reflected in gen
eral advices from the West, although this
was neutralised by some further advene
railways returns by the grain carriers for
Maruh. The 8t. Paul system reported a net
loss of :72,000.
Total. sales of stock amounted to 1,040,000
shares.
Bonds were heavy, with an abatement of
investment Inquiry. Total sales, par valur.
aggregated $3,650,000. United States bonds
were unchanged on call.
