With the completion of necessary
repairs, costing $208,000, the Morrison
street bridge can be made to render
excellent service for 12 years more
under the heaviest traffic loading
that reasonably might be expected
snd at a saving to taxpayers of
Multnomah county of $1,181,000 over
the cost of replacing it -with a new
structure.
This sums up the state highway
commission's investigation of the
condition of the Morrison bridge,
presented in an exhaustive report te
the county commissioners late yes
terday. Months of work, in which
a submarine diver was employed to
examine the subaqueous portion of
the foundations; experts were en-j
gaged to make microscopic analyses!
of the steel superstructure, test for
stray electric currents which might
cause electrolysis, and make a chem
ical analysis of bridge materials; and
engineers of the highway commission
conducted a thorough inspection of
the physical structure and made a
detailed study of traffic conditions,
were embraced in the report.
Repairs Are Recommended.
'Complete reconstruction of ap
proaches, extensive modification of
the floor system, renewal of strained
trusses, remodeling of the wedges and
end bearings, reconstruction of the
draw span fender pier and minor de
tails such as new joint connections
and machinery parts will be neces
sary to place the bridge in first-class
condition, it was held. With these
exceptions the entire bridge structure
was found to be in an excellent state
of repair and adequate for all present
and estimated future traffic loads.
As a purely financial proposition,
the preservation of the old structure
of the bridge for 12 years will net
the county a saving of $1,181,000, ac
cording to the highway commission's
figures. In arriving at the estimate,
it is calculated that the annual main
tenance charges, based on past ex
penditures, will amount to $9250 a
year or a total of $111,000 in 12 years.
Cost of repairs, renewals and replace
ments would be $208,000, making a
total expenditure on all accounts in
12 years of $319,000.
Herbert Nuao Directs Report.
The report was prepared under di
rection of Herbert Nunn, state high
way engineer; by C. B. McCullough,
bridge engineer for the highway com
mission, and J. A. Dunford, assistant
bridge engineer. It included photo
graphs, sketches and tables showing
physical condition of bridge materials
and overstresses. The report proper
was 61 pages in length, closely type
written. With the remedies suggested, traf
fic load restrictions would be removed
entirely from the bridge, said the
engineers, except that any loads
which exceed those for which the
structure has been calculated con
sidered extremely improbable should
be routed over other bridgeB. Trans
portation companies, both railway
and truck, however, should be re
quired to file sworn statements as
to maximum load concentrations in
use or contemplated, it was recom
mended. Overstrrss Is Fonnd.
The investigation was made at the
request of the county commissioners.
Similar investigations were asked of
the Burnside bridge and the ap
proaches to the Hawthorne bridge,
but are not yet completed.
The approaches were built entirely
f Oreeron fir and have been so ex
tensively repaired and reconstructed
that little of the original material re
mains. It was recommended that they
be entirely rebuilt as they "are in
poor physical condition, making them
not only difficult and expensive to
maintain, but unsafe for the travel
ing public."
The floor beams show a very severe
wrtress. the intermediate beams
helnsr overstressed 39 per cent and
the end beams 82 per cent. The rivets
in the connection angles are also
overstressed 91 per cent for the in
terior 4tloor beams and 101 per cent
for the end floor beams, it is found.
The bridge engineers recommend the
reinforcement of the entire floor
system.

Market at Chicago Closes Unsettled.
Early Prices Establish New
Top Records for Season.
CHICAGO. April 16. Active European
demand for breadstuff s did a .food deal
today to make the corn market rule high
er, but waa later greatly offset by con
tinued heavy reselling of oats purchased
for , France. Corn cloned unsettled at the
same as yesterday's finish to lc higher
with May tl.GUhb to $l.tt9 and July
1.W4 to S1.84. Last prices for oats
ranged from c decline to lc advance. In
provisions the outcome varied from 10c off
to a rise of 40c.
Until the final hour, bulls had things
their own way in the corn market. Per
sistent commission bouse buying rushed
values upward to new top records for the
season and there was much talk that India,
Australia and Argentina would sooner or
ater have embargoes against the exporta
tion of wheat.
Oats paralleled the action of corn.
Provisions averaged higher with grain.
The Chicago market letter received yes
terday by Uverbeck A Cooke company of
Portland said:
Corn There was nothing in the day's
news to disturb bullish sentiment and con
sequently new high-price levels were re
corded. Some displeasure was exhibited
at the failure of receipts to increase in
race of the strike Improvement and spots
were quoted at 1 to 3 points higher. Re
ceipts for the week were 4.526,000, against
1.402,000 a year ago. Opinions are mixed
as to the possible corn acreage to be
planted this year. The general wave of
inflation that is In progress in other com
modities aa well as this market will prob
ably have to run Its course before the
bubble bursts.
Oats The early advance encountered
rather heavy selling construed as profit
taking and by houses with eastern con
nections and the reaction from this point
was further agumented by a report that
the French government had cancelled
7.10.000 bushels cash oats bought . pre
viously. Weather conditions are still
against seeding operations and various
persons are now predicting a reduction
In acreage.

Coast Manufacturers Have Made
Moderate Reductions In Prices
of High-Grade Article.
There has been no sensational decline In
the coffee market and there Is nothing In
tne situation to Indicate a severe break
in prices In the immediate fnr.ir thnnrh
the higher grades bava fallen slightly in
price and the low grades rather more.
The decline has not been sufficient to make
any change In retail prices. A review of
the actual controlling factors will be of In
terest.
For two days, July 29 and 80. 1919.
Santos coffee No. 4 sold on the New York
exchange at 30 cents. On the 29th of
each succeeding month the prlns were:
28 cents, 25 cents, 26 cents. 25
cents. 24 cents, 25 cents, 24 cento
on March 29, 1920, 24 cents yesterday
4 cents.
The variations In the price of No. 7
Rio, it is true, have been great, but the
reason for that Is that the United. States
consumer has called only for high-grade
coffees and the highef- grade coffe price
as Deen tne controlling factor. The sta
tistical position of the market certain.
gives no reason for a reduction la prices.
Europe's purchases have been greater than
was expected, and in some way they have
found money to buy coffee and are likely
to continue to demand and secure coffee.
The world stocks of coffee are the small
est In many years and advances are In
dicated rather than reductions.
Prices on the highest grades of coffees
In the New York market reached the top
notch at 32 cents. Today this same coffee
is worth 29 cents and Is being firmly held
at iaat price. Retail prices of higher
grade coffees at the very top advanced to
the consumer Just about 60 per cent over
tne lowest pre-war prices and today tbe
prevailing price is Just over 50 per cent
over the pre-war price. In view of the
enormously increased cost of doing busi
ness tnia indicates but one thins-, and that
is - that ths manufacturer h 1 1...
his profit and the retail grocer has even
more greatly reduced his profit on coffee.
It la true that there have been offered
on this coast some Central American cof-
tees at slightly greater reductions than
prices prevailing in the east. The reason
for this Is the purchase of alien-owned
coffees at auction In Central America, the
revolution In Guatemala and the probable
revolution In Salvador. All these things
have conspired to force coffee on the mar
ket In advance of the natural demand and
thus compel a forced price to make Quick
sales.
All of the manufacturers of the eoul
have made reductions In the prices of their
men-grade coffees and considerably great
er reductions on their medium and low
grade coffees and will no doubt continue
as always to meet the market regardless
of what goods may have cost them.
MANY LINES WILL BE AFFECTED
Sogar Advance Will Have Far-Reaching
Results.
Reviewing general conditions In the
wholesale grocery trade and In particular
the sugar situation. Wad hams A Co. say:
"he normal winter dullness has been
conspicuous by its absence this year. The
fall rush of business continued throucb
January, February and March, and these
usually quiet months have shows a phe-
uviucwi idutoh o.er any previous season.
Advances in staples wer j very numerous
In January, but have since gradually slack
ened, and recent market changes have been
nominal.
On account of the unfavorable rates of
exchange, the export demand for canned
milk, salmon and dried fruits has tempo
rarily ceased, and these three lines have
declined In price. However, the heavy ad
vances and continued strength in the sugar
market more than offsets, for the con
sumer, any saving made by declines in
other staples, as it will add greatly to the
cost of home preserving, and assures high
prices of canned fruits and abnormal val
ues for Jams and Jellies during the coming
season. Owing to heavy canning expenses
all canned foods will be as high and in
some Instances higher this fall than they
were last year.
'Aa to the immediate future we can only
say that while present prices do not war
rant speculation, an ultra-conservative pel
Icy should not be adopted, for as long as
the heavy demand for all merchandise
continues and production Is hampered by
uncertain labor condltlona, no great re
cession in values will occur, and dealers
should, without hesitation, buy their nor
mal requirements and keep their stocks
well replenished."
EARLY WHEAT HAS GOOD STAND
