Inttreet again centered in the war news, which threw ilulo litht 5t.th cour of event across th water. The market's liquidated condition was clear ly demonstrated by the ease with which stanuard shares rallied from occasional pressure. A few specisjtlc wer fuiry active, but their movements elicited no pub lic Interest. . Hails wer sluggish but firm. Equip ment gained 1 lu points with coppers, motors and oil, sad shippings hardened after early hesitation. Specialties were fea turd by Industrial, Alcohol and Distillers, tbe latter leading the market at an ex treme gain of a points. Sales amounted to -'15.tHJ shares. General news aside from th progress of tha liberty loan dnvo and Dn.inri I Y ni.r. lng of large Government contract for rall- equipment waa mostly negative and without bearing upon values. In the market for foreisn remittances, an unusual development was the scarcity of ex change on SpHin. attributed to the n la rued trade operations of London and Tails with thst country. Th usual Irregularity extendlnr to Inter national Issues waa manifested by the bond market, th liberty division making slight gains. Total Sales, nar value, a.irr-riii a.l $J.0e.5.00o.

Bradstreet's to morrow will aay: War needs naturally grow at a great rate and industrial operations In lines essential to them continue to expand. Cereal crop news is exceptionally favorable, whatever av be conjectured as to storm effects on Northern fruits and Southern truck. Wholesale trade In staple commodities is probably as active as could be expected, seeing that aupplles are short, that quota tlons are Inordinately high and that the Government gives Indication of eventually extending a firm grasp over the price situa tion In many lines of manufacture. But prices aeem to cut less of a figure on civilian nurchaeea than does the evident fear of a paucity of goods, especially of textiles, and. therefore, many reports disclose heavy buy ing, not only for immediate delivery but for future shipment aa well. On the other hand, activity In retail trade has simmered down since Easter. Weekly bank clearings were f 5,641,ss7,oou. Coffee Futures Stiffened Up. NEW YORK. Anril 12.

Likelihood of big receipts here, including: ihlpmenls from HU Louts. Omaha and Toledo, had much to do with a sharp setback which took place today in corn prices. The market closed weak at tbe same as yesterday's finish to 3 He lower, with May $1.27 H and July $1.54 to $1.6414. Oats declined c to IV c net and provisions 17 to 30c Talk of an increase in the crop movement next week was current and considerable notice was taken of tbe fact that hedging ales, unlike other pit transactions, are not limited to any specific total. Authorita tive warnings were also circulated that if the removal of the maximum price rul ex ercised an- unduly bullish influence, spec ulative holdings would be cut to 10,000 bushels. Oals weakened with corn and as a result of ideal weather for the growing crop. Eastern demand seemed dead. Downturns In the hog market and in grain were responsible for lowering pro visions.

WOOD DEALER FINED $50 Third Appearance of H. Westerman for Selling Short Cord. His appearance before Municipal Judge Rossman yesterday for the third time, each on a charge of selling short measure wood, brought to Henry Wes terman. manager of the South Portland Fuel Company, no leniency from the court, but a warning that If the offense were repeated he would receive a long Jail sentence. Westerman waa fined $50 for charging for a full cord of wood which was found to measure but three fourths of a cord. The complaint was lodged by E. D. Jones, city sealer of weights and measures. When F. C. Hanley, attorney for Westerman, suggested that he would There Are Two Kinds of Americans One kind of an American shoulders a gun. The other kind backs him to the limit with, his dollars. MORRIS BROTHERS, INC. 201 Railway Exchange Building, Portland, Oregon take an appeal. Judge Rossman fixed the bond at $500. "This is the third time that you have been in this court for delivering short loads of wood," said Judge Rossman to Westerman. "If you appear again I will make the penalty so severe that you will have to go out of business. Many people are buying wood now, and they have to trust to the honesty of the dealers. If dealers cannot be hon est they ought to bo forced out of busi ness." DAILY CITY STATISTICS Births. LARSON To Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Larson, 400 North Twenty-fifth street, April 8, a daughter.

Call Strike, but Men Dae to Handle Cargo Are Bfiaslns When Boat Docks. ASTORIA, Or., April 12. (Special.) While no strike haa been declared by the Longshoremen's Union, none of the members of that organization in the Astoria district are working cargo ves sels today with the exception of a few who are loading the barkentine James Tuft at Westport and a few more who this morning finished discharging the cement cargo from the steam schooner Daisy Freeman. The reason Is a fail ure to secure an increase in wages. For months the longshoremen have been paid 65 cents an hour, with $1 for overtime. They are asking for 85 cents an hour, with $1.25 for overtime. When tbe steam schooner Halco ar rived at the Hammond mill no long shoremen reported to load her and the men said that unless they can get the advance asked for they will engage In other work. The same condition is true regarding the steam schooner Daisy, which shifted this morning to Knapp ton to finish ber cargo. In refusing to work the men acted as individuals and not upon a vote of the union. Both of these vessels are being loaded by their crews and men from the mills. At a conference this morning with representatives of the local Longshore men's Union, Manager Shaw, of the Hammond Lumber Company, offered to pay the men, beginning today, what ever scale of wages the Federal Adjust ment Board may fix. His offer was to pay the men (he present scale at once and later on allow them whatever in crease the board may set The men say this is the fairest offer that any of tbe shipowners has made them. They, however, decline to ac- ( CLARK, KENDALL &C0.
