Seattle .this week to 215 cars, against 112 cars a. Tear ago. but there- has been no Increase at Tacoma, which reports 200 cars in this week, compared with 290 cars in the same period last year. A great enlargement In arrivals is expected in all the terminal markets from now on. There is already some congestion at the Albina yards, where delay has been expe rienced in unloading cars, and some of t)ie grain men fear the situation may grow worse as the movement Increases. It will be a long time, however, before the docks are overcrowded, at the rate that wheat Is now reaching Portland, as the warehouses designated by the United States Grain Cor poration have a capacity of over 200,000 tons The Government docks and their capacity follow: Tons.

Stocks reversed their recent course today after an early period of indecision, in which some specialties made further material recessions. The rally, which seemed to proceed from a combina tion of substantial support and short cover ing, embraced many active issues, but was most effective in the investment division. Ralls rebounded 1 to 4 points. Low-grade Western and Southwestern issues, as well as coalers, kept pace with this movement, though, in minor measure. Industrials were irregularly responsive. United States Steel assuming its accustomed place of prominence, on the rise from 105, yesterday s low quotation, to 108Vs and clos ing at 108, a net gain of 2Vj. There was further liquidation of Bethle hem Steels, Midvale Steel, Colorado Fuel, oils, tobaccos and utilities. Sales amounted to 770,000 shares. International bonds. Including the French municipals, were heavy, other war flotations showing a lower trend on wider distribution. Domestic issues were irregular, the liberty 3 Vis varying from 99.76 to 99.82. Total sales, par value, aggregated $3,475,000. United States coupon 3)ti gained V Per cent on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. bid. Am Beet Sugar..

The change in conditions has in some cases resulted from the growing appreciation that for ordinary requirements supplies of some materials and products are likely to become even scarcer, with the needs of the Gov ernment the dominating factor in many di rections, and in other instances the improve ment reflects the enlargement of con sumptive demands with the advancing sea son.
