This will be because there will be insufficient money left as a oaidnce at the end of the present fiscal year (December 1 to carry the city's payroll and other expenses over until the first of the 1916 tax money conies in on March 1. Payroll Kund Are Short. 'fcro;,,"';6' C'e'k f the Council. ZJZ , h A. question before that body with the information that the citv treasury will be short sufficient fund's to meet the payrolls. He suggested that, commencing this month, the Coun ', ta" the employes only half of their alarieH. thereby holding back sufficient to carry over the period of stringency. Either that." said Mr. Grutze, "or repeal the ordinance which prohibits employes from assigning their salaries. Ion cannot issue any evidence of in debtedness and you can give a man nothing to show that he has anything coming. However. loans probably could be arranged by the employes." "-it's a serious situation isn't if" BBid Mr. Baker. "I- have figured," said Mr. Dieck. 'that that we can go ahead and meet our payroll and other expenditures un til February 16. Then, we can let the February payroll slide over until March 10 or 10. when there will be plenty of money in from taxes. That plan in volves putting off all possible pur chases "There are a good many things in the way of purchases that can be held off for 30 or 60 days, are there not?" asked Mayor .Albee. Discount Sacrifice Suggested. "Yes," said Mr. Dieck. For that mat ter we can sacrifice the 1! per cent dis count allowed for payment of bills. It teems to me to be better to lose that i" vtni. iiiaii ivx.k tuo employes to pay big rates to loan sharks to get their money." "That seems to me to be the best way." said Mr. Daly. "I don't like this loan shark proposition.1' "I believe it would be better to let the payroll slide by March than to cut It off now or during the holiday seal-on, when there is a maximum need for money." said Mr. Dieck. This plan seemed to bo the most favorable so it was decided" upon defi nitely. The trouble has come up largely by reason of the majority of the Coun cil trimming the tax levy for 1915 down "below where it should, have been. As a. result of this reduction, the city will carry over at the end of this year rrobably $100,000 as compared with 3S10.000 at the end of last year.

Retailers to Be Permitted to Carry Dozen Pint Bottles of Gasoline, bot Bottling Right Denied. . Druggists of the city expect more liberal treatment in the ordinance now under consideration by the City Coun cil than was thought likely a' few days ago in regard to the limitation of the quantity of gasoline that may be car ried in stock and the manner and place of its bottling. Following a special meeting yesterday of the grievance committee of the Portland Retail Druggists' Association. it was ar ranged that the city ordinance will be submitted to this committee for its approval, and Fire Marshal Stevens, after a conference with the druggists, outlined what will probably be re quired by the ordinance. It was understood at the meeting of the committee yesterday that the ordinance will allow one dozen pint bottles of gasoline to be carried in stock by the druggists. The gasoline must, however, be bottled elsewhere than on the premises. This, it was decided by the committee, would be satisfactory to the druggists gener ally. A full committee was present at yes terday's meeting, as follows: A. "W. Allen, chairman; Lloyd Crocker, Ralph Crysler, John M. A. Laue, Frank Pozzi, F. A. Nichols. What Wallace. E. A.

(Spe cial.)

It Is presumed that the child crawled through a fence and under the train while the train was standing still. William Howell is confined in a local hospital with a crushed skull sustained yesterday when he was kicked by a horse. His recovery- is doubtful. Mrs. J. !. Dodson, ,of Galvin, was badly cut about the face when an auto In which she was riding crashed into a pole. SEWER CASE TANGLE BAD Filing of New Court Action at Che lialts Is Latest Phase. CHEHALIS. Wash., Nov. 2. (Special.) The Murphy sewer assessment case, which has caused all kinds of grief for the Chehalis city officials and the courts for the past three years, is in a worse tangle than at any time in its history. At yesterday's meeting of the City Commissioners, announcement was made that Murphy will again go into court with an action against the litigants who already 'have taken him to the Superior Court four times, in an effort to compel them to pay him the full amount which he declares is due him under his contract. The non-constesting property owners will probably be asked to pay on a basis which will be un satisfactory to many of them. BRIDGE WORK IS BEHIND Contractor on Lebanon Span Subject to $25 Daily Penalty. LEBANON, "Or., Nov. 2. (Special.) The liability of a penalty of $25 a day does not seem to be adding much ac tivity to the Pacific Iron Works, of Portland, which has a contract for' the erection of a steel bridge over the South Santiam River at this city. The contract provided a penalty of 25 a clay for each day that the bridge was uncompleted after October 25. The bridge is yet a long way short of com pletion, in fact, little beyond the erec tion of the concrete piers is now completed. 1 1 ' 1 1 rlTlTnM - mxxt, UKtbO.MAy, WEDNESDAY, FLURRY IN BARLEY Bids Raised Sharply at Men chants' Exchange. , UNSOLD SUPPLIES' LIGkHT Reduction or Stocks In Northwest Occasions Speculative Buying at Highest Prices or Season. Wheat Is 1'irm. '-The barley market snddanlv ilv.!an.i the- strongest feature of the -grim tradeJ ems at the Merchants- Bxchange were raised to the hichest points of the season, but the advance did not tempt hold era to let go. The trade- has come to a realization that barley supplies remaining In the Northwest are not heavy, and this baa prompted a good deal of speculation In the country. There is export demand for this cereal, but It Is figured that the prices now ruling here are above export value, as based on lOOs freights. Barloy has been coining out of the In terior in the past few months at a faster rate than last year. So far this season, the receipts at tidewater have been 54.610 tons, of which Portland received 21.120 tons. Ex ports lor the season to dato have' been 46S.SJ7 bushels from Portland and 5.-7.057 bushels from Puget Sound, the total of 1,005.874 bushels comparing with 503.011 bushels shipped from all North Pacific ports In the same- period last year. For November brewing barley, $28.75 was offered at .the Exchange session, an advance of over the previous day, while Decem ber bids were raised $1 to $28.50. Feed bar ley offers were also advanced 1 as compared with Monday. The wheat market was also inactive, but exhibited a firm undertone. Whit wheat bids were raised H cent to 1 cent. The oats market was quiet and nut materially changed. . Broomhall says in his weekly international wheat review: "Market during the week has ruled firm, with a difficulty in purchases consequent upon the American exchange and the scar city of workable offers. "The ccarclty of spot hero is keenly felt, as American arrivals have been light and native movement disappointing, but it Is expected, that British wheat will soon be delivered more freely, as the Government Is relieving the scarcity. "Importing countries continue to depend upon North America, and it is believed that this dependency will continue during the next four and one-half months, because Australian and Argentine wheat cannot be come available for foreign consumption be fore the middle of March, and not eveif then unless the freight situation is re lieved. "Recent events m ITiuce may serve to reduce requirements there, moderately, but at best import needs are largo and Italy's recent purchases, when their own crop Is moving, serves to confirm requirements in excess of our earlier estimate. "I now reckon the total season's require ments at 472.000.000 bushels, and it official reports on American and Canadian outturn can bo relied upon, this quantity can easily be obtainable, even without aid from the Southern hemisphere. "Tho world's crop this season Is Indicated as a record, exceeding 4,000.000.000 bushels, but there is a strong growing belief that growers will continue to bold tightly and much depends upon the disposition shown by North American holders to market and the ensuing three wteks may suffice to show Uio tendency."

The marktit closed strong, tic to 2'82Hc up. with December at $1.04 Si and May at $1.05S. Other leading staples, too. scored net gains corn Ho to rfc. oats ic, and provisions a shade to 17M:C. Upturns in the wheat market began Tight at the start, and received at no time any Important check. Bulls gave chief attention to the foreign situation, especially advices from Liverpool telling of inadequate sup plies, nnd saying that the purchase of 3.000. 00O bushels of wheat by Greece from Bul garia had led to a fresh political tangle. Persistent strength, a'so. of quotations at Winnipeg was taken to mean further buying there for Europe. In the corn pit. assertions that the quality of this BeaBon's crop averaged only 76.0 per cent, as against K5 per cent for a series of years, gave an advantage to the bulls. Be sides, there w.-is talk of an Improved export demand at the seaboard. Oats were also helped upward by advices of a good distributing business in the East. Cnsh transactions here, however, were not enlarged to any perceptible extent. Strength in the provision marftet resulted chiefly from a radical cutting down of Western stocks .of meats. Packers sold on the bulge. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close. Dee $1.02 $1.04S $1.0; $1.04 May 1.01 1.05 1.04 i 1.0S54 CORN. Dec.
