bia river will be in operation in
Astoria. It is to be operated by
John V. Tynd, who is now erecting
his cannery at Smith's Point, a short
distance south of the Wilson Ship
ping company's plant.
Every year, beginning about Aug
ust . 1 and continuing until late In
the fall, large schools of sardines
come up to the mouth of the Colum
bia and occasionally enter the river.
They areof prime quality, and while
a small quantity of them were packed
few years ago as an experiment,
they have never been put up In com
mercial quantities.
As the sardine runs come when the
spring fishing season is practically
at an end, many fishermen will prob
ably engage in catching the smaller
fish.

I am triad that the chamber of
commerce has taken a nana in ims
iffair. I wanted a committee to probe
the building. , housing and plumbing
code but I wanted no person in my
department on such committee. The
work of Dast committees has always

Commissioner Barbur has written
and received answers from a large
number of cities about the size of
Portland relative to building and hous-
, in ft. codes in effect in such cities.
All such information will be re

Code Too Stringent.
"Portland needs no stricter laws
than are in vogue in other cities. We
cannot drop our standard of Ban it if.
tion, and we must always keep the
safety of the public in view. But I
am certaiii that the present code. has
many restrictions which do nothing
but retard toe growth of our city.
"There is no use in spending time

Sensational drops In wheat quotations
on the Chicago and Portland exenangea
yesterday resulted in practically halting
all purchases of grain In the country dis
tricts. Dealers were unwilling to make pur
chases at the prices which had been of
fered the preceding day and the majority
of the farmers were not ready to accept
lower quotations. - The consequence was
that no. sales of importance were re
corded. "r
The drop in wheat quotations at the
noon session of the Merchants' Exchange
yesterday ranged from 6 to 11 cents. The
drop was "the greatest In the case of red
Walla Walla, which went- down 11 cents.
closing "with a quotation of 12.17 bid for
September' delivery. Hard winter and
northern spring dropped 10 cents each.
both closing Tat $2.20.
The least change was recorded in the
case of red winter, which went down Q
cents under previous quotations. Bid price
for that variety closed, at $2.20.
Hard white registered a bid price of
$2.23 yesterday, a drop of 7 cents. Soft
white and white club dropped to $2.22
which was 8 cents below quotations for
the preceding day.
Following the sensational drops yester
day dealers were predicting that wheat
would go to $2.00 at Chicago before the
present movement was completed. Wheth
er there would then be a reaction result
ing In an advance in price again, they
declared, would depend on developments.
A report from Broomhall received yea
terday by the Merchants' Exchange gives
the following advices with reference to
world conditions:
Argentine The visible supply of wheat
is estimated at 3.700,000 bUBhels, compared
to 4,440.000 estimated last week. The vis
ible supply of corn Is 4.800,000 bushels.
compared to 6, 200.000 bushels last year.
The government has already refused to
Issue some permits for r exportation of
wheat to foreign countries. It Is calcu
lated that there are only 270,000 bushels
of wheat left for' shipment, excluding
6.000.000 bushels already purchased by the
French government. -
Roumania The acrestge of wheat and
rye is larger than last year.
Bulgaria The 1920 crop Is reported to
be about 25 per cent under that, for- the
previous yesr.
Liverpool Yellow La Plata com; eon
tract grade, opened weak today. Corn
turned very weak, sellers liquidating at
the best price obtainable. The British gov
ernment has announced .Its intention to
liquidate all holdings of corn which Is in
storage at the present market rates.
Weather conditions were reported clear
and fine yesterday all over the grain belt
with no rain. The Sioux City district was
reported to have had a light rain Thursday
night. Predictions for today were generally
fair and oooler.
In Canada yesterday a light rain was
renorted in the Regina section. In other
sections the weather condition was re
ported to range from clear to cloudy.

fleeted by the general decline In for-
lgn remittances, sterling demand falling
to within a fraction of $3.70 to the pound,
with concurrent weakness of rates to other

intc foreign buyers are expected to be ou

anxious sl ler. there is little stability to
the market even at the present decline.
Corn opened steady on lack of r

by late temperatures and tne previous low
point liquidation became, general" A cab I
from Liverpool substantiated the statemen
of a leading authority that supplies of cdrn

Argentine corn in store there is said
almost be unsalable and British . govern
ment has announced Its Intention to liq

emphuslze that tha world's position in
grain forecasts price depressions. Our
suggestion sent out about mldday to the

corn temporarily was based on pit con
ditions, which in all probability will bring
about a further recovery, especially if
there is no rain over night in tha dry
territory.
Oats Range was comparatively narrow
in face of a large volume of trad. Pres
sure was heavy at times but subsided on
tha declines. The July was relatively
weaker than other months, reflecting easi
ness in cash. Country offerings were said
to be somewhat smaller, although there
is no reason to believe that the producer
will not market freely. The surroundings
of this grain are Just as bearish as every
thing else, in fact, more so now that the
new crop is made and is a large one.
