Court Makes Decision.
If a hougecleaning Is needed in af
fairs of the Port of Portland Comrais
ton. om will bo conducted at the con
ricFion of an exhaustive checking of
.rcounts In all departments by H. K.
Hacdr. an expert connected with the
Kmt York Municipal Research Associa
t.on. who is to be paid $3S a day and
expenses. It la estimated that a week
"w ill be required In which to complete
ttie task.
The matter came up at a special Kth--rlns;
of the Commission held yester
day, when S. M. Mears. president of
the body, said be had met Mr. Sands
and gone over the proposition with
l.im.
-We have extended a general Invi
tation to the public to visit the office
and go over our books, but they hare
not availed themselves of the oppor
tunity." aaid Mr. Mears. "As the mem
bers of this Commission are serving
without compensation. I think toe in
flection should be made, and if there
nre any loose ends we should learn of
them."
It was unanimously voted to employ
Mr. Sands, and he will begin the work
noon as possible. The Port of Port
land has its booka audited semi-annually,
but it is hoped that Mr. Sands
may be In a position to suggest Im
provements in system and methods on
ending his contract.
Secretary Goodaiaa Reals as.
Joseph Goodman, who was elected to
the Port of Portland In July. 1911,
and succeeded John Drlscoll aa secre
tary of the Commission, tendered his
resignation yesterday to take place as
soon aa a successor Is named. The
resignation has been In the hands of
Mr. Mears for a month, but It was
thought that Mr. Goodman could be
prevailed on to reconsider the step. He
said yesterday that press of business
that made it impossible for him to
serve the Port of Portland well was
responsible. Different members of the
Commission sought to dissuade Mr.
t'.oodman from resigning, but he In
sisted, and at the next meeting hi
resignation will be accepted.
In connection with a report that Cap
tain E. D. Parsons, formerly a tug
master In the service of the Port of
Tortland. and latterly with the Puget
Sound Tugboat Company, had Quoted
pilotage rates on the bar 13 per cent
below the tariff, as he had branched
out aa an Independent pilot, a discus
sion waa carried on as to the wisdom
of lowering the tariff. It was agreed
that for the present there would be no
change, as It was not thought the op
position would materially reduce the
Port's revenues. It was brought out
that Captain Parsons had quoted a Saa
Francisco linn a rate of Hi cents a
ton and $L2S a foot draft, while the
tariff is 1 eent a ton and $1.50 a foot
draft.
Dredge 'Well Iimrti.
As fire Insurance carried on the
dredge Columbia, which Is engaged In
digging a channel to the north of Sand
Island, so rock barges can reach Port
C noy. was not cancelled when marine
insurance was taken out. there Is $75.
00 on fire and .121.230 on marine In
surance, the latter also covering fire,
while $i8.000 additional is to be placed
on disbursements, the aim being to cov
er the vessel In the sum of $150,000
without the fire policies. It was voted
to accept the marine and disbursement
insurance and at the next meeting it
will probably be decided that the fire
policy be cancelled.
It was agreed that there will be no Joint
meeting of the Port of Portland and the
Commission of Public Pocks until the
Supreme Court has decided the question
of title to land lying between low water
and ordinary high water. By that time
the Port of Portland expects to have
another opinion from its attorneys and
Attorney-General Crawford will have
passed on the question. It is under
stood between the two organizations
that the filling being done by the Port
rf Portland will not be Interfered with,
but in each case in the future the Port
will notify the Commlslon of Public
Pocks of applications for fills, so the
area to be covered may be surveyed
and cross-sectioned, and the dock In
terests will then enter formal protest
against the work being carried on.

of the two entering Into a request to
Oovernor West that a friendly test

Supreme Court decision does nox cover
ail points.
A survey of the harbor to ascertain
what amount of dredging will be re
quired waa not ordered, pending the
production of additional Information
that Is to be available at the forthcom
ing session. Captain Pease said the
survey would be carried out by all
. Kn rntln RMnMp warn In
clined to the view that the survey of
the Corps OI Engineers. . o. a. waa
sufficient for all needs.

C. F. LAKISZ STARTS MAY S
German Line Has Three Steamers on

Hamburg-American line officials have
given out that the German steamer C

Calcutta March 8 for Hamburg, to load

a looked for Jane 15.
The C. Ferdinand Laelax Is a vessel
of $151 tons pet register. As the fleet

more steamers will be added and by the
time the canal la opened competition
will be keen.

The official weekly market report
follows:
"Receipts for the week have been:
Cattle 1751, calves 28, hogs 3284, sheep
2292 horses 20.
"Cattle cars were full and buyers had
a fine layout on hand for Tuesday
morning; from the delayed Monday's
stock train. Business was active on a
somewhat weaker basis, but tne aver
age beef quality was so rood that kill
ers could not fail to rive 8c or better.
Bulk sold Tuesday around 8c, but the
tendency downward was In evidence
Wednesday. A conservative steer top
for the remainder of the week at least
1b $8.00 and it Is doubtful if buyers
could be induced to bid higher. The
sentiment Is decidedly bearish and price
basis Is not firm. Cow quality was
ordinary, only one head selling; at $7.00
and ranging down to $5.00. according
to quality. Veal market steady to firm
at $9.00.
"All the rwlne business was con
tracted Tuesday and Wednesday. Prices
fell on Tuesday when buyers refused
to give over $9.15 for the best quality
light hoga Wednesday's top was $9.10
and weak. There Is a downward ten
en cy to the swine market and opera
tions are uncertain.
"Not enough 6heep and lambs to
satisfy one good killer. Only sheared
wethers and lambs squeezed through
the 3000 total unloaded. All prices are
firm and there la an urgent demand

LARGE NEW BOXP ISSUES DRAG.
Deadlock Betwen Borrowers and Investors
Is Not Broken.
NEW YORK, April 19. The absorp
tion ot the financial community In the
question of enlisting new capital con
tinued throughout the week- An ex
traordinary degree of attention was
given to the course of the new St. Paul
4 per cent bonds, because of its ac
ceptance as a barometer of the new
conditions to which other borrowers
must conform. The result cannot be
said to fix definitely the new Invest
ment basis or to break the deadlock
which has existed between investors
and seekers of capital. Active dealings
in 8t Paul bonds did not prevent a
drop to below the price of the public
offering. The announcement that 20
per cent of the issue was left unsold
when subscriptions were closed con
trasted with heavy over-subscriptions
of successful bond offerings In pro
pitious times.
The inference was plain that the rate
of return, high aa It Is. compared with
older bond issues, did not attract In
vestors In effective numbers. On the
other hand, dissatisfaction was shown
by corporate borrowers, which found
expression in warnings of the necessity
of curtailing outlay for extension and
improvements to meet the situation. It
was assumed that only railroads with
half completed improvements or with
floating debts and maturing note issues
to be funded would follow EL Paul In
offering long-term bonds at present
prices.
Reduction of the Bank of England of
ficial discount rate from 5 to 4 per
cent waa hailed with satisfaction with
an indication of easy money conditions.
Foreign financial commentators, while
expecting a further early reduction In
the England bank rate to 4 per cent,
are not sanguine of any marked decline
of money rates. The admitted policy of
the central government banks is to
build up reserves in preparation for
coming Autumn needs. The programme
for armaments, with the financing of
the Balkan war debts, show formidable
requirements.
Returns of National banks of April 4
show a low stage of reserves among
the interior banks and the likelihood of
calls on reserve centers to replenish
them.
Weakness in pig Iron having become
more pronounced, the effect on senti
ment was disseminated all through the
trade. In the stock market the move
ment was slow and dragging, with a
heavy undertone.

an exceptionally favorable exhibit for

Money continued to flow In New

oats had a net upward movement of

Wheat was strong at the start on
the foreign markets' firmness, the
French market particularly showing
strength. Covering by shorts was early
in evidence here and opening prices,
which were He under to He above the
previous close, at once hardened.
There were reports of decreases In
wheat stocks because of milling sales
and this brought on buying that sent
prices up to the highest point of the
day. Predictions of rain, which will
delay Northwest seeding, also helped
the upturn.
Primary receipts of wheat today were
494,000 bushels, against 285.000 bushels
last year. Seaboard clearances of wheat
and flour equalled 443.000 bushels.
Corn was narrow and dull most or
the day. The market followed the up
turn in wheat, and advanced a little on
fair buying near the close.
Covering by shorts gave firmness to
oats after a sluggish session.
Lightness of lard offerings and good
demand gave firmness to provisions.
Realizing sales were light and scat
