'Columbia Klvcr Delegates Declare
Jlicy Must Be Sure Local Trade
f Will Be Protected.
BAM FRAXCISCO. Jan. 21. (Spe
eial.) The day after the Pacific
coast shipping conference was occu
pied by the San Francisco and Port
land delegates In removing misap
prehension as to Portland's reasons
for not voting on the resolution to
appoint a committee to negotiate
with the shipping board and a com
ir.ittee to form plans for organization
ana ownership or operating com
panies. -
The Portland delegates felt that the
men who assumed charge of the con
ference did not reveal enough facts
and did not give them enough op
portunity to consider the plan, so far
s It was disclosed to justify them
on voting for the resolution, yet they
did not feel justified in voting
against them, when it was possible
that further development of the plans
might prove them to safeguard Port
land's interest. But the northern
California delegates took this atti
tude to mean direct opposition and
refusal to participate.
Impreaxlon la Corrected.
Explanation has removed this Im
pression and Portland will partici
pate In negotiation for transfer of
hipping board vessels to the com
bined Pacific ports, while reserving
freedom to withdraw if the plan
adopted should prejudice the freedom
cr. Columbia river ports to make tuo,
most of their advantages In competi
tion. Portland is willing to be shown,
tmt must be shown it it is to con
tinue a party to the scheme.
The Portland delegation united In
Jthe following statement:
"Plans of a far-reaching character
were presented," said the statement.
"They Involved the greatest de
partures from steamship practice
und-cr the American flag on the Pa
cific we have yet studied. It was
clear that the moat practical steam
fthlp and business men were puzzled
to decide whether these departures
were attainable, and if attainable,
whether or not an operating corpo
ration could be formed that would
permit the impartial' development of
each port participation under com
petitive conditions. .
Analysis Deemed Necessary.
"Careful analysis, In th light of
the moat complete inforjnation pos
sible, as to what the government
could and would do seemed Impera
tive. In fairness to all considerations,
especially, that of the future of the
American merchant marine on the
1'aoifle, we did not feel it proper to
rerwlor a hasty decision and refrained
J or the present from voting In the
affirmative or negative.
"Columbia river ports have an Im
portant and rapidly growing com
merce. Adequate safeguards for this
business and its expansion under
normal competitive conditions In re
lationship to all other Pacific ports
was naturally a factor in our con
siderations,, but not the controlling
one, as we believe that the prin
ciples which give us our best oppor
tunity will be best tor all other
American ports."
Itrport Promised Monday.
JTerbert Flelshhacker, who was au
thorized yesterday by representa
tives of chambers of commerce from
American Pacific Coast ports to learn
from the United States shipping
board what vessels could be obtained
lor a pool to carry on trans-Pacific
trade, said today he would announce
on Monday the names of the men who
will accompany him to Washington.

PORT SKKVICE NOW CHEAPER
Absorption of Wharfage Charge at
San Francisco Aids Ship Owners.
BAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21. (Spe
cial. ) Absorption of the wharfage
charge of 15 cents per ton on freight
moving in' foreign trade over San
Francisco docks by the carriers per
mits this port to give much cheaper
service to ship owners of the world
than any other Pacific coast port,
according to a statement made today
by Captain Robert Dollar.
Under the new arrangement, he
steamship lines and the railroads
agreed to absorb 74 cents each per
ton and allow the merchandise to and
from oriental ports to pass pver the
local terminals free of charge.
Pointing out what the absorption
of the charges means to this port.
Captain Dollar said:
"As it now stands, ships will pay
In San Francisco 754 cento tolls
(wharfage) and 35 cents for handling
freight, or 43 14 cents in all. At
Seattle the same service cost the
ship 25 cents for. wharf age and 40
cents for handling, or a total of 65
cents, 21V4 cents more than San
Francisco. Besides. Uie railroads in
Seattle have to pay la V4 cents a ton
wharfage against IVi cents a ton
here.
"According to this new arrange
ment a ship carrying 10.000 tons of
cargo entering Seattle the cost would
be greater by J2150 than at San
Francisco, and it would cost the rail
roads to handle this same cargo
through Seattle $1750 more than at
this port.
"Furthermore, our belt railroad
only charges $3.50 a car for hauling
cars from any railroad and deliver
ing them promptly to any of the
wharves or industries located on '54
miles of belt line tracks, which
charge Is absorbed by the railroads
when shipments originate at or are
destined to stations served by two
or more lines."

GREAT INDUSTRIAL
MERGERS FORECAST
Large Corporations Prepare
to Form Combinations.
INVESTMENT MART KEEN
Money Kate Fluctuates, General
. Credit Stationary; Business
Outlook Is Unchanged.
BT STUART P. WEST.
Copyright. 1922, by The Oregonian.
NEW YORK. Jan. 21. (SpeciaL) At
the outaet of the. new year the prediction
was made that 1922 would be a period of
active competition, relatively low com
mercial prices and consequently small
profit margins.
To meet these conditions every energy
must be bent to reduce production costs,
and It was pointed out that one of the
most effective ways of doing this was
for large corporations which would make
little or no money going It alone, to get
together and form single units with all
that thla would mean In the way of
economy and eaving. Consequently. It
also was predicted that 1922 would be a
year of Industrial combinations, the union
of producers and manufacturers acting
under the imptrlse of a mutual necessity.
Great Mergers Pending.
In this prognosis lie the keynote of the
present Wall street movement. The stock
market foresees great mergers of enter
prises Impending and Is discounting their
effect not' only upon security prices, but
upon general business conditions as well.
It has long been appreciated that the
only way the so-called Independent steel
companies could hope to make a profit,
under conditions as they are, and are
likely to be In the eteel trade. Is to con
solidate on the lines of the United States
Steel corporation. Likewise, It Is no new
Idea that the Cuban sugar growers and
the American refiners would both do bet
ter If the two lines were Joined Into one.
But It has remained for this week's mar
ket to awaken to the great significance
of these probable consolidations, first as
a factor In reviving speculation, and aec
ond as a help to trade recovery.
Investment Demand Keen.
Everything that has happened In the
financial week is of some consequence,
beside the movement on the stock ex
change. It was clearly shown that the
investment demand Is as keen asever by
the wonderful over-eubscrlption of the
$30,000,000 Southern railway bonds, the
sequel to which was an allotment of only
20 per cent for the small-applicant and
of only 10 per cent for the large.
But there Is still no reason to change
to view that the greater part of the bond
lists reached about the -bAFt that could
be expected In the December boom, and
that the great advance from June to
January had pretty well measured the
decline In the Interest rate and rise in the
purchasing power of the dollar.
Money Rate Fluctuates.
This Judgment has been supported srt 111
further by the action of the money mar
ket during the last week. Wall street. In
lowering its bid for money to 3 per cent
overdid thing The effect was to divert
bank, balances, especially those sent here
from Institutions from out of town, to
other means of employment which offered
a higher return. In consequence of this
curtailment of the Wall street supply, the
money rate went up to 4 and 5 per
cent.
Thle made Itself felt 'as an additional
check upon the Investment market, which
had been planning an adjustment of Us
prices to 3 V per cent.
Credit Position Unchanged.
The advance in the Wall street loan
market has signified absolutely no change
in the general credit position. It is
merely a diversion of funds from one
quarter to another. The federal reserve
reports are the true guide to the banking
situation, and with the reserve ratio up
to TO per cent this situation i the strong
est In five years that Is, since before the
United States entered the war.
Within little more than a yesr the In
flation of the war period has been undone
while the nations of the world. In the
course of settling their trade rffhts, have
added the enormous sum of 1700,000,000
to our slock of gold.
Business Outlook Unchanged.
The general businees outlook appears
very little different from what H did at
-the close of last week. The steel manu
facturers are looking forward to spring,
anticipating that building and other con
struction projects will be resumed then
on a larger scale, and that this, added
to the railroad buying, will considerably
expand mill operations, even if It does
not bring much of a rise in prices. .
Th latest reports from the woolen In
dustry are good, but the cotton market
has bad another object lesson that the
trade is not ready to follow prices up
from the present leveL In othee words
the discovery tat the 1A2I cotton crop
was some 1.500,m0 bales larger than It
was estimated In October haa done away
with the fear of a shortage and has led
the cotton spinners to feel that they have
the whip hand of the situation and that
they can check any advance In cotton
prices by simply stopping buying
Franca and Harks Fall.
Whatever outside opinion may be as to
the policy of the new French goveanment
in Insisting Upon the most rigorous en
forcement of German -reparations. It Is
plain that the international money mar
kets do not like it. Not only has the
status of the German mark steadily fallen
since the Poincaire ministry came Into
power, but the French exchange has come
down still more proportionately.
What this weaknea in franca clearly
reflects is a revival of the old fear that
(;rmany, pressed to the wall, would ay
that It could not pay and that It would
not be an easy matter to collect Indem
nity by the forcible measures proposed,
a some French statesmen profess to
think.
SilRPOS READILY TAKEN
WHEAT SHORTS DRIVEN TO
COVER AT CHICAGO.
Bulns Results In Sharp Gains ml
Close or Market Export De
mand Continues Slow.
CHICAGO. Jan. 21. Fhorts were driven
to cover on the Chicago board of trade to
day. Improved commission house demand
for wheat making for a sterfdy advance in
that cereal which caused the rest of the
tl!t to strengthen in sympathy. Wheat
registered net gains of lc to lc; corn
was up to c: oats were He to Ho higher
and provisions gained from l-1 to 20
points, although January purk finished 50
points up.
The wheat pit was quiescent In the early
trading. Iocal traders were inclined to
be bearish but did not act on their con
victions to any great extent. When the
buying started the surplus in the pit was
rp-i ! 1 v w bcnrHij KTpTt CVmarid enn-

t!ned slow, but the weather map showed
that western Kansas received little or no
moisture over night.
Corn was Influenced by wheat trade and
remained within narrow limits.
' Oats exhibited some strength that was
1 all Its own and was helped by seme switch
ing of corn holding's to the oats pit.
Trade la provisions was not large and
was easily Influenced by the strength in
live hogs and in the grain pits.
Announcement that world stocks of
wheat had decreased nearly 6.0O0.000
bushels in a week and that estimates of
the Australian surplus were being sharply
reduced gave some point to hopefulness
during the week about a greater can aneaa
from Europe for wheat. The buying side
of the market was also favored because of
adverse crop reports from Oklahoma and
elsewhere southwest, and later because of
worn of the presence of the green bug pest
In Texas. Oklahoma and Kansas. Then
came farm reserve estimates, which, If ac
curate would seem to imply that except
for mill and country elevator stocks, the
United States was facing a shortage of
80.000.000 bushels of wheat before the 1922
crop would be available July 1. Timely
snowfalls in the southwest, affording need
ed moisture and protection to winter
wheat, led, however, to a moderate down
turn from the top prices of the week.
The Chicago grain letter received yes
terday by the Overbeck Cooke company
of Portland follows
Wheat The position or the market was
demonstrated in convincing fashion today
when prices advanced sharply despite
general tendency to liquidate holdings. The
absorptive power early In the session was
very impressive and had a telling effect
before the close. Attention was called to
large shipments by Australia and Argen
tina, which may In the trade be cons.de red
a bearish argument on our market; ordi
narily such assumptions would b- correct.
Tut with the Liverpool market, where
pressure from those countries should nat
urally be felt, showing underlying strength.
It would appear as though the grain Is
badlM wanted. Cash markets were strong
with a gain In pre mi us on certain grades
of winter wheat in Chicago. Perhaps the
most significant feature of all Is the way
the nearby position has gained on the
deferred, this In itself showing the devel
opment of a strong situation from a- cash
viewpoint. Spring wheat is now command
ing big premiums over the May, and with
the good grades of winter rapidly becom
ing scarce, it Is reasonable to assume that
the latter will soon be in much' the same
position as the former.
Corn It was a firm market. ' but less
responsive than wheat to buying by lead
ing Interests. The reason was assigned'
to selling -by longs and by cash houses
against country purchases. The cash mar
ket was relatively steady at yesterday's
basis. Shipping sales of 110,000 bushels
included 100.000 to exporters and. although
the seaboard failed to confirm any business
done today. It was Intimated that addl
tional foreign buying would take place
next week. The hog market continues te
display an advancing tendency, which will
undoubtedly restrict, to a certain extent.
the selling of corn by the country.
Oats The trade was somewhat larger
rhan recently, with the market showing
strength on buying by leading elevator in
tests and for outside Investment account.
Receipts were estimated at 105 cars and
the cash market was higher than futures.
The long side of this market may require
pa tie tree until the visible supply begins to
disappear, but in the final reckoning we
are confident that a higher range will be
established.

small volume of trade. Cash was firm.

Now is the Time to Plan Your Trip
THIS is the year to see Europe. Thousands of Americans are
going. A vast change is in progress throughout the Contin
ent and England Europe is seething with new ideas, new im
pulses, a cross-sea of conflicting aspirations, interests, hopes.
Side by side with this New Europe is Old Europe, the Europe
of ancient and splendid tradition, of Art and Letters and Music.
It is a situation infinitely dramatic- drama that may never be
played again. See Europe this pear, before this opportunity
passes. Visit the great battlefields before reconstruction obliterates
all traces of them. Get acquainted with changing business con
ditions. A vacation in Europe now costs less. The average
American salary is a rich maris income in Europe today.
U. S. Government ships are now among the finest afloat. They
are famed alike for comfort, cuisine and service. The S. S. George
Washington, flagship of the Shipping Board's great fleet, is an
aristocrat of the Seas. You will be proud to sail on such a ship
