i (Wire of Downing, Hopkins ft Co.)
New York, Jan. 4. Today's short ses
sion was a thoroughly professional af
fair. After sn Irregular opening the
marxec gave 'an exhibition or strengtn
with -periods of heavy short covering,
characterised by sharp advances ex
tending from 1 to $ points. lOn the up
turn, profit-taking and distributive e li
ma- oacame eviaeni. witn a resultant
violent reaction in all departments.
Copper held firm on further strength
in the -metal market The withholding
of the bank statement until after the
closing tends to curb business and de
prive trading or a good deal of interest.
so tne market closed dull but firm.
When the statement waa issued it
was seen it marked the continued move
ment toward restoration of normal con
ditions, ahowing a further reduction in
the outstanding deficit, and bankers
are confident the entire deficit will be
made up in the course of the next few
weexs.
The United States Steel corporation.
In its yearly statement will probably
show a net earning of about $160,000,
000. On account of the curtailment of
about 40 per cent in the production of
steel. It is not surprising of the shrink
age in the December earnings. Direc
tors of the corporation, while admitting
their earnings w411 be smaller, will not
say aa to what percentage. The falling
off In business since the financial trou
ble If of a larger percentage than ever
in its history and is the first serious
decrease since the steel market turned
for the better in 1908-04. It is thought
tnat iq win Do a rather slim year,
but it is not expected any of the lead
ing steel companies will reduce their
preferred dividends unless the depres
sion lasts longer .than Is generally sup
posed. Tne steel trust has announced that
the nroflt-Bharlna plan to be broua-ht

Port;- Patrick Bumps Into
i ;: Lightship at Entrance

SERIOUS ACCIDENT . 1
. .. NARRpTTLY AVOIDED
Grain Carrier Crosses Out Bound tot
' Europe but Meets Contrary Winds
qd Drifts Back and Into Some
Trouble." ',. '
Tha British ship Port Patrick, .which
collided with Columbia river lightship
No. 60 yesterday, has gone to aea while
the lightship, partly disabled, Is' being
to-wed Into Astoria for repairs. There
la little probability of the Port Patrick
returning, and her going to sea la taken
to mean that her damages were not of
a serious nature.
The Port Patrick was seen last night
until darkness hid her from view stand
ing out to sea under small canvas.
Lookout Kelliher at North Head failed
to find a trace of her this morning
and he believes she is now on her way
towards Europe.
The lightship is expected to reach
Astoria early this afternoon. Captain
Peter Olson sent word yesterday to
Captain p. J. Werllch, lighthouse In
spector of this district, notifying htm
that his vessel had been damaged In a
collision with the British ship Port
Patrick. He remained outside over
night, however, and 'this morning the
tug Tatoosb. was sent out after him.
According to Captain Olson's report
tha Fort Patrick was towed out yester
day shortly before noon. Pilot Mo
Vlckar left her when well oWtside aa
the vessel put offshore and to the
southwest In a strong southeast wind.
Later In the. day she came back In
the vicinity oFthe lightship, about six
miles off the mouth of the river, and
in maneuvering about hit her a glancing
blow about midships on the port side.
The lightship's bulwarks, covering
boards, house And lifeboat were
amaahrA and the smokestack, fore try
sail and mast were carried away.
It was announced this morning that
a gas buoy will probably mark the en
trance to tne river wnuo uw hiiihihii
Is being repaired, or until one . of the
relief vessels can be sent to the po
sition. . .
Captain Stuart and his lifesavlng
crew from Cape Disappointment went
to the lightship laat night and remained
on board over night, bo as. to be on
hand in case of anything serious hap
pening. .
The Port Patrick, in command of
Captain Salnty. left Portland for the
Unltea Kingdom m irw uj a win,

many sensational escapades, het latest
In that line being a wild run across
the Willamette river when she broke
her moorings in a gaie ana arutea irom
the coal bunkers; to tha east side land
in. aiin nt tha Mwer Albina ferry. Her
bowsprit tore off, the roof on the north
end of Montgomery dock and nearly
frightened to death a number of em
ployes peacefully eating their lunches
on the inside of the warehouse.
In 12 tne fort t-airi a waa
doned with all sails set In the break
ers on the Australian coast but instead
of going on the rocks she rode out the
storm and was picked up a few hours
later by a tug and towed into port
without a scar. .
r.rfii eaintv was not in charre of
her at tnat time, oi wi nmyii,
his crew were confident that she was
about to hit the rocks when they took
to the lifeboats. The next moment the
anchors held.
TWO VESSELS CHARTERED.
One Will Bring Cement, the Other

a oahiaa-nim announces that the Ger
man bark Albert Rlckmers will load ce
ment at Antwerp for Portland in the
near future. This Is the first charter
from Europe for Portland reported for
several weeks. The Rlckmers will carry
about 20,000. barrels.
It was announced nere un mumms

..hl Aatnrta thla week from a wt
coast port and accepted a lump sum for
the cancellation or ner cnaner re

WEATHER REPORT
The disturbance noted over British
Columbia last evening has moved in
land. It Is of very moderate character,
the highest wind velocity along the
coast attending its development being
42 miles from the south at North Ileal,
Washington. Rains were, however, gen
eral over western Oregon and western
Washington. Eaat of the Cascades no
precipitation occurred except a amill
amount at Walla Walla. Moderate
rains have also fallen over central and
northern California and light snow over
northern Nevada since yesterday morn
ing. An extensive high area overlies
the Missouri valley and much colJar
weather prevails In consequence over
that region. The temperatures, how
ever, are not much below the season
al average. The low area over the Da
kotas yesterday morning has developed
during the lsst 14 hours into a disturb
ance of decided character. It is now
central over northern Michigan, but Ita
Influence extenda over the entire lake
region and Ohio ) valley, causing ben
reglon and Ohio valley causing general
rain or snow with ranch higher tern-'
peraturaa over those portions of the
country. -,. - . .
. The Indications point to occaalonal
rain tonight and Sunday over western
Oregon and western Wsshlngton, and
to rain or snow over eastern Oregon,
eastern Washington and northern Ida
ho. It will probably be fair ever south
ern Idaho. . .,..,... -.
