BIRDS AND BEASTS THERE Vessel Which Firm Will Oonstrnct Will Be About Length of Biblical Ship and Will Make Abont TwpItp Knots an Hoar. Fred 8. Mil Ilea n. of New York, said to be a pioneer circus man. has stared a part for himself that will be largely patterned after the role essayed by 'oah, though In the modern feature It will be for financial purposes and not to escape a flood, as he Is the originator of a scheme to build an ark, stock it with birds of the air. beasts of the farm and forest, fish and other life and give circus performances at various ports. Paul II. Sroat, of this city, manager of the Columbian National Life In surance Company; James T. Stapleton, of Vancouver, Wash, and N. A. Davies, f Philadelphia, are the other incor porators, and articles have been filed at Olympia, Wash., with the Secretary of state showing the capitalization to be $1,500,000. The name of the com pany Is "Noah's Ark." Mr. Mtlllcan has plans prepared, it is said, and in addition to various in habitants of the earth in pairs, there will be many circus performers, as the vessel is to be 525 feet long, about the length of the Biblical ark, have a beam of 80 feet and a draft of IS feet, a model that, driven with Diesel oil burning engines, is expected to develop 12 knots an hour. In order to care for spectators aboard the ark, regardless of harbors called at, there ill be no necessity for se lecting grounds or shifting a single ex hibit from the vessel, as seats will be operated on a screw and will be projected beyond the bulwarks of the ark during a performance, and when she is under way they will fold aginst her sides. Braces are to be provided as sup ports to help carry the human load. Her masts will also serve as tent poles. If weather conditions make necessary a canvas covering. The promoters cal culate that they can show 300 days annually, as the cruise will be lald'out according to seasons, showing in Alaska during the Summer and then following the sun to South America, then across the Pacific to visit the Hawaiian and Philippine groups, along the Japanese and Asiatic coasts to the Mediterranean and on to the Scandinavian territories. George S. Shepherd, an attorney of this city, filed the articles in Wash ington on the ground that the state's corporation law permits business to be transacted in foreign countries with out difficulty. TITLEY IS NAMED AS AGENT 'Port Has Not Decided to Make Sweeping Changes at Astoria. Harold M. Titley. of this city, has been employed by the Port of Portland to act as representative at Astoria, suc ceeding W. A. Mahoney. who has held the agent s berth for over a year, ana 111 take up other work. Mr. Titley win leave for the lower harbor tomor row in company with Captain H. T.

Talbot, manager of the Port, who says that Improve ments are under consideration as to the general system of handling the tug fleet and supplies, and by January 1 some details regarded as undesirable will be remedied. OM BUOYS FOTJXD MSSSIXG Government Makes Correction to Clear Present Records. As a means of correcting charts and other records for the guidance of mari ners who may have occasion to look for buoyage that once marked the channel to Vancouver. Henry L. Beck, inspector of the 17th lighthouse dls "trict, has Issued a notice that the buoys were discontinued November 20. As a matter of fact the buoys have not graced those waters for several years, having been missed Immediately after a heavy freshet, and as the chan nel changed before stepr were taken to replace them they were found un necessary. Hence the notice, which is as follows: Columbia River Above mouth of Wil lamette River The following buoys were discontinued. November 20: Vancouver Bar buoys 1. 2. 3, 4. Gov ernment Island buoy. 1. spars. There are some post lights main tained where needed in lieu of the buoys. Mr. Beck says that the two new gas buoys for the Columbia River entrance are ready for establishing, but weather conditions have prevented them being anchored in position. BIG BARK RICKMERS LOADED Record Sailing Ship Wheat Cargo From Here Goes Today. Bearing approximately 268,800 bush els of wheat, appraised at $220,400. which is destined for distribution abroad and goes on record as the most of the golden grain of the Northwest that has been floated on a sailing ves sel from Portland, the big German auxiliary bark, R. C. Rtckmers. is to leave down at 9 o'clock this morning, bound for Queenstown or Falmouth for orders, a journey that Captain Schwet mann thinks he can complete in 80 days. He says the Rickmers has made four" successive voyages from the Golden Gate "home" In 94 days, and he thinks he can clip time from that showing. The vessel will draw about 27 4 feet. Since reaching port the hull of the ship has been given a fresh coat of green paint and new white trimmings have been added, while on deck every thing has been stowed snug and she is as spick and span as a Uner. She is the largest windjammer afloat, and with her five masts towering b.ah above deck, giving her an aspect char acteristic of old American c Upper ships, she has been the attraction on the waterfront during her stay. As the vessel finished loading late yesterday her exact cargo will be filed at the Custom-House tomorrow. Schooner Strikes Bridge. ABERDEEN. Wash, Dec. 7. (Spe cial.)

Blasters Aid Chart-Making. In the receipt from Chile yesterday of a report as to wind and weather encountered bv a vessel on the voyage from the Columbia, coupled with daily readings of the barometer, District Forecaster Beals thinks is an iiiustra' tion of how the average mariner re gards the assistance he can give tne Government in the publication of monthly meteorological charts for the benefit of navigators.

Low Qualities Stronger at London. A strong upward tone has developed in the hop market in the past day or two. The fact that unsold supplies In Oregon are reduced to such a small amount has caused competition for the remaining lots to become keener. Growers are not offering their hops on the market now, as they were a week ago, but are compelling buyers to come to them. The presence of more buyers in the country has, therefore. stiffened the views of sellers, who are asking more money and gettimi it, Prices yesterday were fully 2 to 3 cents higher than they were in the middle of the week. Values are also setting nearer together on quality. Offers of 16 to 17 cents were made to growers for choice lota, and 18 cents was paid for one fancy lot. For an other lot of strictly top quality there was a bid of 13 cents. The lower grades were firmer and higher as well. In the Aurora section 13 cents was paid for hops which did not command over 10 cents a week age Another lot was bought at 15 cents. which was turned down at 13 cents by the same buyer early in the week. Over 1000 bales were secured by local dealers yesterday at the new range of prices. Seavey & Johnson bought tne Porterfleld crop of 17 bales at inae pendence at around 17 cents. Klaber, Wolf & Netter secured 250 bales at 12 H to 15 cents. The Davis & Hedges lot of 150 bales at Independence was bought by Williams at 12 cents. O. O. McClellan bought the McCarty lot of 41S bales at Independence at 14 cents. Other lots that have been sold are those of Schmidt & Scheckler, 74 bales, at Tualatin; Noack, BO bales, at Aurora; Bernier. S3 bales, at St. Paul; Morris, 70 bales, at North Yamhill; Roberts, 80 bales, at North Yamhill: BcnucK, iuu bales, at North Yamhill; Glover & Trul linger, 70 bales, at Eagle Creek, and three lots of 200 bales at Brownsville. The California market is also more active. In the past two weeks 3000 bales have changed hands at from 9 to 17 cents. General buying continues and the market is firm, but growers are selling. Wolf & Netter yesterday bought 560 bales of California. The following London cable was re ceived during the day: "English mar ket shows signs of strength tor poorer srrades.1 A letter from saaz reportea mat oniy 6 to 8 per cent of the German crop was unsold. WHEAT 8KIJJ.NO IN WALLA WALLA Congestion' In California Cuts! Out the De mand From That ouarter. There was considerable movement In wheat In the Walla Walla section at the close of the week at good prices. The California demand , has Deen checked, as the trade there is loaded up and buyers are out of the market for the present. Large quantities were sent from here on consignment, jmucn frosted, bleached wheat has been shlnDed to San Francisco from Idaho and Utah, and as it is Just as good for feed as northern wneat ana is ooui 6 cents cheaper, it has cut into the trade from here. Until this cheap wheat and the northern grain that has piled up is absorbed a dragging California demand can be expected. The southern market also appears to he overloaded with northern barley and consequently the barley market la in no better shape than the wheat market. Local receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as fol lows: Wheat Barley Flour Onts Hay Monday 113 2 lz - Tuesday A3 10 " Wednesday ... o Thursday ..... 52 7 Fridav 128 - IS Saturday 3.1 S T 8 12 S 7 7 S 3 3 4 6 19 Year aso z Total this week 440 72 4 54 4 Year ago 50 44 133 Season to date.052 1225 108S S49 1043 Year ago 6772 240 1267 825 1689 SMALL STOCK OF WOOL AT BOSTON Firm Markets Abroad May Partly Off set Effect of Tariff Change. m, . i ....... ne wml . now IRQ UnBUlO ftlliwuii k v. available In Boston is estimated at 25, 000,000 to 30,000.000 pounds.

PRICES HOLD THEIR OWN Bears Make Another Effort to Sell Down the List, bnt With No Permanent Effect Bond Mar ket Is Also Steady. NEW YORK, Dec. 7. While it Is yet to be shown whether the stock market has recovered its poise, the heavy-sell lne- movement, for the time being at least, has been arrested and fluctuations todav .were comparatively unimportant. The rally which followed yesterday's severe break marked the crisis in tne week's movement,' for there was no re currence today of the persistent pres sure which unsettled the list on pre vious days.' To what extent the im provement In the market tone repre sented the passing of the week's dis turblng Influences as market factors was a matter of conjecture. The market, however, has plainly re covered from the first effects of t. Harrlman merger decision, and the urgent liquidation of specialties appar ently has run its course. After an Irregular opening stocks gained ground slowly. A break of itt points in American Beet Sugar and 5 oolnts In Texas Company affected the general list adversely and encouraged bear traders to renew operations. The list sold off easily, but the movement was limited, and net changes for the day were small. The clearing-house banks and trust companies made their expected favor able return,, showing that the deficit reported last week had been wiped out, a surplus of $3,000,003 appearing in the actual table. There was a de crease of $43,000,000 in loans and of $40,000,000 In deposits. Indicating tnat out-of-town institutions had assumed a part of the burden of loans, as they were in a Dosltlon to do with the call from the Controller for a statement of their condition out of the way. The bond market was steady. Total sales, par value, $383,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. Reported by J. C Wilson 4V Co., Lewis euiiaing. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.

Wheat slid down under moderate selling, due mainly to fine weather for the Argentine harvest. The market closed easy and 3-8l-2c under last night. Influence against the wheat bulls continued to be found in millers' reports, pointing to good pros pects for the Winter crop in the United States. Cold weather, with increased coun try marketing, brought about a back set In corn. Oats went lower on account of selling by a few longs. Trade in provisions was slow.

The Financier will say: Preliminary estimates were that the Clearing-House banka of New York had gained to a considerable extent in cash as a result of the week's operations, particularly In the matter of flow of money from the Interior toward this center. . The statement of actual conditions Issued Saturday, however, showed s very small loss of $39,000 In cash, but the deficit in reserve reported at tne close of the previous week was mere than made up through the unusually large reduction of $42,048,000 In loans, which brought about a corresponding decrease of $40,041,000 In net deposits and a lessening of reserve requirements amounting to over $10,000,000. This was not only sufficient to wipe out the deficit in excess reserve, but left an actual excess of $3,015,200 above the 26 per cent minimum. It Is" difficult to explain the extra ordinary contraction In loans, which evidently was made for the most part by the banks proper, although the separate statement of the trust compa nies showed that they also had reduced loans by more than $15,000,000. The deposits of the trust companies alone decreased nearly $22,000,000 for the The statement, based on the system of the dally averages did not reflect the later operations of the week, al though changes were heavy, loans hav ing been decreased more than $31. 000,000 and deposits $35,338,000, while the loss In cash, reflecting earlier movements, was almost $7,700,000. The clearing-house banks. In the statement figured on the system of daily aver ages, still report a deficit of $73,550 in reserve. The tide In the flow of money has turned unmistakably In this direction and It Is expected that the banks from now on will show a quick recovery in cash reserve. OVERBECK & COOKE CO. Brvkera. (tacks.
