Penetration in Diking Project is 20 Keet Below River Bot tom; Dredge Shift. Driving of 10! piling In one day. whereas ordinarily 30 to SO piling are reckoned a good days work, w as accomplished one day last week by a crew engaged at Willow bar, where four dikes are under way. The crew is of the force under Major Klchard Park, corps of en gineers. V. S. A. Each piling is driven so the pene tration below the river bottom reaches a depth of 20 feet. In un dertaking the dike work a pro gramme is followed of driving from the shore so aa to take advantage of the higher stage of water, which makes driving easier. While there la but one piledrivtng crew on the Job, the four dtkes are under way at the same time, the driver moving from one to the other as the line of piling' reaches deep water. The piling are driven In a "stag gered" line and a timber is fastened between, with another on the down-river ride, while on the tipper side plank is made fast above the low water fllne. When the piling Is placed rock is dumped along the bottom on the down-stream side and gravel on the upper aide. As thi piling Is sufficiently close to hold the material, a barrier Is formed to divert toward midstream the current that causes scouring In the channel." The dredge Clatsop has com pleted clearing sediment from the channel at Kureka and shifted to Dobelbower, where she Is to be en gaged the remainder of the week. As the digger is self-propelling, she Is being assigned where only nom inal dredging is required that can be removed iulckly in her bins. Uigur Raft Reaches Astoria.

SECOND JUDGE WANTED MUNICIPAL COURT IS DE CLARED CONGESTED. - Mayor Baker to Submit Ordi nance Providing Help in Deal ing: With Violators. In a conference with interested city officials yesterday Mayor Baker reached a decision to submit to the city council tomorrow an or dinance, providing- a second munici pal judge for the city. He instructed City Attorney Grant to draft the ordinance and announced that he will lay it before the council at its regular meeting: tomorrow. The mayor stated, however, that h will present the ordinance not for immediate passage, but for consid eration, as- a mean; of setting forth the need for added municipal court facilities. , He will present argu ments for the second judge and court at the 'council session, he said. "The municipal court is getting behind -with its work," said the mayor," "and it is a physical impos sibility for one man to clear it. Fines are being, assessed by the traffic departments indirectly, through bail requirements, and this is not good policy. The city is losing money through, this situation. It is my duty when I see these conditions to make them known." At the conference held in the mayor's office were City Attorney Grant, Chief of Police Jenkins and Judge Elk wall of the municipal court. STOCK TRADERS WAITING INDUSTRIAL SITUATION WAIili STREET TOPIC. IS Hope of Early Settlement of Coal and Railway Strikes Still Generally Prevails. BY ALEXANDER DANA NOTES. , (By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) NEW YORK, July 31. The present week opened aa last week opened and closed, with the Wall-street mind ap parently concerned Vith nothing but ne gotiations over theS coal and railway strikes. Financial Europe's numerous and crit ical uncertainties appeared to find no reflection whatever, ' except in foreign exchange rates. Even those -moved with a good deal of indecision. Early in the day the German mark fell to 14 hun dredths of a cent, the lowest recorded figure, comparing with 159s Saturday nd 17 Friday, but even the mark re covered In the later trading today, end ing above last week's final figure. Other European exchanges also moved downward, then upward again. This presumably meant that the panicky phase of liquidation of the mark had for the time passed again, and that the ex change markets in general are now mere ly speculating on the nature ox the .Brit ish premier's forthcoming declaration to parliament regarding German reparations and the inter-governmental war debts. So far as concerned the labor- situa tion, there was nothing in the day's p.ctual news to discourage the hopes of early settlement which became preva lent Immediately after the mood of Washington, in the middle of last week, seemed to reflect complete despondency. What seemed today to be going oh was maneuvering by both sides for position in th'e settlement rather than the raisiag of obstacles. . The early stock market was particu larly strong; some industrial shares ad vanced 2 to 4 points; the railway shares moved similarly. This pace was mani festly a .hit rapid, with so many uncer tainties still surrounding the financial situation, and a considerable part of the early advance was lost before the close. The advance in stock exchange call money rates to 5. per cent in the afternoon had its influence in empha sizing such reaction as occurred. But this tightening of demand loan rates v, as, as usual, a passing incident, indi cating nothing as to the condition of the general money market, which as a whole, was easier. COAL PRICE HALT SLATED PRIORITY ORDER EXPECTED TO SERVE AS CHECK. Bituminous Dealers Think Plan ,AViH Force Observance of 1 Hoover Schedule. (Copyright, 1022, by the Public Ledeer company. Published by Arrangement.) PHILADELPHIA, July 31. (Special.) Bituminous coal dealers and operators' representatives in Philadelphia expect the priority freight order of the inter state commerce commission will halt the rising prices for that ' commodity and force observance of prices agreed on at the conferences summoned by Secretary Hoover, as it is planned not to allocate cars to shippers whose prices exceed those limits. Another important factor is the opera tors' plans for increased production. It s emphasized by Philadelphia and east ern leaders that the success of this plan will depend entirely on the service afforded by the railroads. Responsible operators declare they are confident- of being able to produce from 6.000,000 to ,000.000 tons weeKly. This quantity, added to imports, will almost equal the consumption before the strike, and be cause of the priority ruling will prevent serious shortage. One operator said yesterday he expected the production in mines near Johnstown to demonstrate the feasibility of the plans Representatives of the large opera' operators insist they are adhering to the Hoover agreements, but coal is known to' have been offered at fa and sales have been made at $8.50. Hesponsible producers ascribe advanced prices to the bidding of buyers as much as to specu lation. Receivers say shipments over the Baltimore & Ohio are moving quicker this week and movements at the Vir ginia piers are reported " to have in creased. Conditions in the anthracite industry are reported practically unchanged. Some' of the smaller operators are put ting their culm bank stocks through washeries. Operators' sales agents say they have no stocks of any size avail able. Resumption at anthracite mines is improbable unless an agreement is reached . between operators and miners because of the state law requiring a certificate of proficiency for hard-coal miners. .

POSITION' IS BEST Fortune Has Played Strange Tricks With Investors and Speculators Since War. BT FRANCIS W. HIRST. (Copyright, 1822, by the Public Ledger Company. Published by Arrangement.) LOKDON. July 31. (Special.) Our stock market provides the best rod for measuring the credit of nations, for v'rually ail countries are represented on the London Stock exchange, and in this market the most bankrupt government finds a valuation put upon its obliga tions: Fortune certainly has played strange tricks with investors and speculators since the armistice. In Germany and Austria those who saved money before the war and cautiously placed it in gilt edged securities, such as German 3s, Austrian 4 per cent gold rentes or Prus sian 3i4s. have lost practically every thing. Thdse who preferred to trade in the ordinary shares of industrial securi ties have, in many cases, come through with comparatively little loss. liver since the mark began to decline, the people of Germany have been eager to get rid of their marks in exchange for real things. Nobody hoards paper marks in Germany. You do not buy an article whose value has been depreciating month after month and often hour after hour before your very eyes. The peculiar thing is that the paper mark has looked so different to foreigners. To tiie optimistic American, for ex ample, a. year ago every fall in the marie constituted a reason for buying it. It seemed to be , growing cheaper and cheaper. Its appearance remained un changed. Nice, crisp parcels of newly printed marks arrived by every boat from Germany and were eagerly bought from the distributors. But after a time American, Swedish, Danish, Spanish an-d British speculators, who had held marks purchased at, say, 200 to the pound until they reached, say, 800, began to feer as did the Germans who had held them on the downward path from 20 to 80. I have no doubt that the precipitous fall In the course of a year from 200 to 3000 is due quite as much to the ava lanche of sales by tired speculators as to the activity of the German mint's printing machinery, The world's psy chology has changed. Instead of re garding the future of the mark with, hope, it regards it with despair. And yet there are many who say with reason that if only the mark could be stabilized and the public credit of the German government restored the financial out look for Germany would be at least aa good as the financial outlook for France. A few weeks ago, so I have been as sured by experts, the internal budget of Germany balanced; but as everybody in Germany who had lent money to the government before and during the war had lost almost all of it through tho depreciation of the mark, the German government could not borrow, and its only resource for paying reparations was and is the printing press. In France it has been different. The French government has wallowed in deficits ever since the armistice. The debt has grown apace, but the thrifty Frenchman has hitherto retained his faith in the solvency of his government and has lent it enough money say (1,800.000.000 a year to enable it to bal ance its accounts and to pay interest on its national debt. But in the last few weeks the franc began to depreciate. To judgeTrom the quotations, it is doubtful whetftW the French government could borrow any large sum of money at 12 per cent. Its credit is lower than that of Finland or Czecho-Slovakla and not half as good as that of Iceland! Another extraordinary comparison Is rtrnvlrfed bv Portuguese 3s and Prussian 3s. Even in 1918, after the overthrow of Germany, the Prussian states 3 per cent loan did not fall below 45, as compared with 55 for Portuguese 3s. In the first six months this year the highest price for Portuguese 3s was 35 and the highest price for Prussian 3s was 2i. Who could have foreseen such a fate for the credit of thrifty, industrious, efficient Prussia? Americans may have the curiosity to ask what countries stand highest in tha estimation of the London Stock ex change. I have a convenient table show ing the yields and prices at the end of June. Dutch 3s (which have been fall ing) yielded rather more than M per cent. Swedish securities yielded about the same. The Swiss Federal railways, which are working at a heavy loss, have a 3V, per cen issue, which at 87V4 yields less than 4 per cent The Premier po sition is taken by the United States whose 4 per cent loan at the end of Juno stood at 117. . These facts may be Interesting to American bankers and Investors whn have been Induced by commercial and . other considerations to take more inter est In Europe than at any former peno. EARNINGS OF ROAD FAVORABLE Railway Stocks Active on Better Char- acter of Reports. (By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) NEW YORK, July 31. Wail street will focus its attention tomorrow on the con ference of the member roads of the As sociation of Railway Executives, wha meet to hear President Harding's plan for solving the railroad strike. Tho meeting Is considered the cractai point in the whole controversy. Wall street was interested in the dis patch from Washington that the railway labor board would propose a revision ot the Esch-Cummins transportation act. to strengthen the board's influence in preventing future strikes. The railway shares enjoyed another day of marked activity apparently ob livious to the strike.. Explanations cen tered around favorable June earnings, mostly well in excess of those a year ago. Figures for 53 class 1 roads, for example, showed gross of almost $340, 000 000, an increase of mortihan (0,000, 000, while the net at about (55,000,000 waa 1 7 ana wmv or 48.3 per cent ahead. New highs were registered by the stock of the Norfolk & Western, Central of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York Central, Great Northern and Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha, pre ferred. - The action of Studebaker corporation directors in Increasing the regular an nual dividend on the common stock from (7 to $10 a share annually, and In addi tion declaring an extra payment of $1.50 a share came as no surprise in the finan cial district. The size of the extra divi dend, however, was smaller than had been generally predicted. The stock ad vanced to 134 before the announcement appeared In the street, and soon after the dividend action was published the stock began to sell off, the selling no doubt being for the account of specula tors who were either liquidating stock bought at lower- prices nn putting out new short lines on the theory that "the news is out." Some of the banks are insisting that corporations, which are in a position to do so, Issue new bonds and shift from banking shoulders loans which have been carried along since the start of liquida tion. .Considerable o this. Is new busi ness and a great deal more will follow in the early fall, if the money market continues its easy trend. Among the corporations which will convert their bank loans into bonds within the next few weeks will be the Gray & Davis com pany and the Pierce-Arrow Motor . Car company. Chicago Oil Market.
