UKACTION IS WHEAT MARKET FEARED Buver Are Caullous t View of Recent Swift Advance. The recent swift upward movement in the wheat markets of the United States is caus ing grain men here to proceed with cau tion. They are asking whether or not the top has been reached.

Just about a year ago that the cre.t of the 1914-15 market was reached, and a .lump disastrous to many set In. While there may or may not be a permanent check to the rise, a reaction, at any rate, is looked for. and for that reason there has not been the keenness to buy this week that was witnessed In the pre ceding week.

COMMON DIVIDEND IS SET -Corporation's Statement Shows liast Quarter's Earnings to Kxceed All. Previous . Kecords Price ol Stock Advances. ; NEW YORK, Jan. 25. The one absorbing feature of today, dull and restricted market was United State. Steel, all other consider ations and developments being relegated to comparative obscurity. Of recent weeks. Steel had come to be regarded a. the ba rometer of .pecolatlve as well as Industrial conditions, and the prosperity attending the corporation's business in the last half of 1915 pointed almost indubitably to a resump tion of dividends, which were suspended In the last quarter of 1914. The meeting of the Steel directors., at which Steel common was restored to its 5 per cent status, was not held until after the close of the market. Meantime, however, Steel, which opened at M to b4i. a max imum over-night gain of 114, rose to So, reacted a small fraction, then made .a new high lor the day at 85 H, and closed at Stii, a net gain of a point Dealings in Steel amounted to about 122, 000 shares, or over 25 per cent of the day's turn-over. Publication of the corporation's statement for the fourth quarter of 1915 dis closed total earnings of $51.2 32.788, which exceeds all previous record for any quarter by $5,729,084. Incidentally, the amount of cash In hand was stated to be about $105, 000.000. Trading In other usually active stock, was stagnant, except for the first and final hours, when coppers and. some speculative specialties were rushed forward with gains of 1 to 4 points. War share, averaged i point gain, and motor stocks moved un evenly, while high-priced Industrie!, were irregular, Cuban-American Sugar advancing 4 polnta to 186, and General Motors 10 to 4S5, recovering its dividend, while United States Industrial Alcohol recorded a net loss of 4H to 156, and oil. were again liqui dated in-moderate volume. Rails were distinctly disappointing, firm ness in Canadian Pacific and Baltimore & Ohio being offset by heaviness in Eries, New Haven, and some less conspicuous shares of that division. Total sales of stocks amounted to 460,000 shares. Leading Pacific roads submitted state ments for Deoember, Northern Pacific In creasing its net Income by $1,656,000, Union Pacific by $1,180,000, and . Atchison by $1,251,009.

Wilde, assistant general pas senger agent of the Great Northern Railway, was in Portland Monday. He was on a tour of the western end of the Great Northern system.

Preparations for even a greater number are being made this year. CITY MAY DRAIN SLOUGH Eugene Council to Put District Is sue lp to Voters. EUGENE, Or., Jan. 25. (Special.)
