Portlaal Yell-Adertled.
"Portland has been well advertised
In Japan and that Is being continued
by i;. Tait. of your port traffic
bureau." said Mr. Hisatomi yester
day. "We feet that with the distance
about equal between Kobe and the
Puffet sound cities as compared with
the run to Portland, this city wt.I
eventually draw much more trade as
ilk location as to grain and lumber
makes it attractive from our stand
point. "One plan we are working on now
is to increase trans-shipment busi
ness in the orient so that we can
draw more Timtn ports to the south
of ua for moving this way. The dis
tribution of American products from
Kobe at present is taken care of by
liKhtermsr to the port of Osaka and
beyond. There are some lighter draft
vessels making It above Kobe at
present, but it Is the aim to improve
conditions, especially with respect
to adequate warehouses, so freight
may be landed at aka and dis
tribution made from there."

WHEAT EX POUTS MODERATE
Total Outgoing Trade in July
Lena Than Year Ago.
Wheat exports for July, com
prising old crop, were slightly in
excess of S50.000 bushels, while
lumber shipped to offshora ports
amounted to about 16.S20.000 feet
and J.915 barrels of flour were
sent abroad. The value of all ex
ports was less than one-third that
of the corresponding month last
year. In the days preceding the
world war July seldom figured in
wheal experts to any extent, be
cause principally fully cargoes
were in order then and the crop
was moved from tidewater by May
or June.
Some new crop has moved to
tidewater, yet there is consider
able old crop wheat left, and ves
sels due the fore part of this
month are to load It. The engage
merit, of the Norwegian steamers

112 PILING DAY'S WOfiK
tfcKW AT WILLOW BAR RE
rOKTS RAPID PROGRESS.
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 of the cigar-shaped log
rafts assembled by the Benson Log
ging company at Wallace slough
rtached Astoria yesterday, where
the tua- Sea Lion was waiting to tow
the raft to San Diego. It was moved
from Wallace slough to the main
1 -ver a week ago. being moored near
Westport until about time for the
tug to report in the river. Material
in the rafts is run through a mill at
San Oiego for manufacture into mer
chantable lumber.
)longoiian Prince Arrives.
The British steamer Mongolian
Prince, coming in the European
service of the Furness-Prince line,
arrived In the river from Puget
sound yesterday and will be along
side Irving dock today to load
grain. The Siberian Prince is to
I? along about the middle of the
month and the Eastern Prince is
scheduled for September loading.
The ships are returning" from the
orient, each having made a voyage
from this coast.
Steamer Return for Repairs.
Due to a defective throttle valve,
which expanded at a rate that
prompted Captain Brown to return
for ' repairs, the steamer Georgina
Rolph of the McCormlck fleet came
back to the harbor yesterday. She
departed late Saturday bound for
San Francisco and ban Pedro, and
when la the lower river the valve
trouble developed.

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."

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

U. S. POSITION' IS BEST
Fortune Has Played Strange
Tricks With Investors and
Speculators Since War.
BT FRANCIS W. HIRST.
(Copyright, 1822, by the Public Ledger

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-

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.
