what of a : surprise ; to the trade, but tbe
fact - remains .tbat. tbe foreign stock was of
guod quality, and free from iowdery scab.
.Within about 'Jo weeks matured potatoes
from the south will be available in sufficient
supply to take care of requirements bete,
while there trill- be more liberal offerings of
both Oregon and California new growth,
it Market for potatoes continues to reflect
much strength. Practically nothing Is being
offered In tbe old potato market that.lv of
good quality below 2.25 a cental, this being

Portland exports this week 18,667 bushels
wheat. 2296 barrels flour. Last wek, T3.175
bushels wbeat; 16.304 parrels flour; 212,805
bushels oats; '. :
With - prospects for lower cbsrter rates,
there has been no inclination among Portland
exporting interests to do much in regard
to new ships during the lat few days. Those
tbat have high-priced charters are naturally
inclined to wait awhile to catch their breath.
With liberal chartering already shown for
the new crop and some additional shipping of
old crop to go forward, abort sellers are being
compelled to bid up for remaining small lots
of wheat." Requirements in this regard are
said to be even more liberal than stocks avail
able. .
Those .that have sold wheat short can well
afford to pay tbe advances demanded. It is
stated tbat soma of tbe big operators have
made more money during the last season than
during the entire career previously.

FOREIGN CUPS ARE :
USED TO DEPRESS
PRICES FOR WOOLS
'Wash" Sales In the East .Said to
Be for Purpose of Holding in
Check Legitimate Advances in
Western Territory.
- While higher prices have been offered and
paid Tor wool in tbe pacific northwest recent
ly, tbe manufacturing interests of the country
as a rule are still disposed to . "bear" the
trade. , , -.. :;? , ;4 -
They are still using foreign wools as a
wedge with which to best down tbe price of
domestic values. Some of these Interests are
alleged to be actually selling foreign fleece for
less than they cau import It. While on the
surface this would Indicate that manufactur
ers have practically all the wool they 'need
for immediate requirements, this Is Absolutely
cot tbe case. . '
. Selling of foreign wool at lower orices than
the import cost is generally of a bluffing na
ture. The selling of the foreign clips la
simply used as a means to depress domestic
clip conditions, nothing else. It is even stated
that many, of these so-called sales of foreign
fleece by manufacturer are "wash" affairs
that is. the transactions are not bona fide, but
are actually given as-such.
Somewhat heavier movement of wool Is re
ported at Pacific northwest points. Quite fair
selling is reported at .Willamette valley and
eastern Oregon points at the prices listed.
Some of the big manufacturers have been
rather liberal buyers here at higher basis
prices than they are said to t be of ferine; In
Boston. .

Indleatlona point to a lowering of the price
of mutton and lambs .at North. Portland dur
ing tbe coming week. ' While the top of tbe
market for lambs at this time Is not con
sidered above $7.15(37.25 a very limited and
elected lot was sold late yesterday at $7.35.
It is not expected that shipments of lambs
during the coming week will bring above the
$7 mark, bat naturally-almost everything de
pends upon the volume of offerings. Today's
price was about a dime off.

HART IS ACCUSED OF
AN IRREGULARITY iN
A REAL ESTATE DEAL
Ex-County Commissioner De
nies Former Partner's
.Charge in-; Court. :
JURY TO SOLVE PROBLEM
Aoeordias to.. Start Responsibility
Bests RitA'aaary O. Blbray;
, . Tsrtimony Xs Taken. ,
Daniel V. Hart, ;foraier, county com
missioner, was yesterday charged by
his former partner, Henry O. Slbray,
with being a party to the conversion
of a portion of ftSO belonging to Mta
Helen V. Knappenberg ana Mrs. Bl
bray, to his own use. Mr. Sibray waa
teatifying on the witness atand in
circuit conrt. Hart, In answer, denied
the charge and asserted that Sibray
alone waa responsible for the loss cf
the money to the two : women. A. Jury
today will decide which is responsible
or place the responsibility on both.
The charge was first made by Mrs.
Knappenberg. for herself and as as
signee of Mrs. Sibray,-in a suit' filed
against Hart Sibray in which she
seeks to recover $1200 and $560 col
lected, she alleges, by the partners
on two pieces ot University Park prop
erty sold for herself and Mrs. Sibray.
Neither woman appeared yesterday
when the suit cams to trial.
Sibray . made no appearance in an;
ewer to the suit, admitting by this
failure the charge made. He also ad
mitted it yesterday on the stand, but
in a broken voice told how he had. used
every cent be could gather together to
pay what he owed his creditors; in
cluding the two women.
Sibray Explains Transaction.
Sibray said that four University
Park lots were sold to James A. Mor
gan o( Mayville, Or., for $1200 anji
wo were sold to R. G. Roberts for
$550 for the two women by the firm
of Sibcay & Hart, real estate dealers of
University-Park. He testified tbat all
moneys received from these lots until
October i, 1911, when the partnership
was dissolved, werepaid to the part
nership and pat in a common fund of
the partnership in the United States
National bank from which checks were
drawn for all purposes Hart, ' he
said, benefited by this fund - as much
as he did.
Morgan was called to the' stand and
testified that Hart was present when
the deal was closed, and that he paid
all moneys until October 24, 1911, to
tbe firm, receiving checks signed by
the firm. Sibray and Morgan both said
that, after the, firm dissolved, Sibray
collected the remainder of the money,
and Sibray said the same of the Rob
erts contract.
Jart Makes Denial.
Hart denied that be had anything
to do with the deal saying that It was
entirely Sibray's affair and that Jt
was not a partnership affair. He
said that lie did not receive a penny
of the money collected. He admitted
that he waa a member of the firm
after the deal was made and while
collections were Joeing made until
October 24, 1911, and that on tbat date
he' made a settlement of the firm's
affairs and retired to devote himself
to his work as county commissioner.
He said he had never made a sworn
statement of the dissolution of the
firm's affairs as required. '
Sibray, on cross-examination, admit
ted that he had done everything in
connection with the deal and the col
lections, but said that he bad:. acted
throughout as agent of the firm until
the partnership was dissolved.
Attorneys Leonard and Slater repre
sented the women and Sibray, and At
torneys DennLson and Hall appeared
for Hart. A verdict is expected this
afternoon.
Child's Life Still
Hangs in. Balance
Scarcely any hope of saving the
child's life is held by Dr. Frederic J.
Ziegler, attending physician, for 5
y ear-old Ruth Dnrboraw, who was at
tacked try "her insane father as she
slept tn her home at Tremont station
early Wednesday morning. Slivers of
bone, penetrated the brain of tbe little
one, and 'the delicate brain fabric was
so badly torn, 2r, Ziegler states, that
recovery seems almost impossible. Tb
child was operated on Thursday, and
Is in a critical -condition, although con
scious.' She is at the God Samaritan
hospital. ' ' - '
At the hospital Durboraw made at

FEAR EFFECT ON ALLIES
Militarists Arrne it Germany Olves Za
, to TJ. 8, Earppe Will Think She
rears Eventual Defeat,
By John Edwin Kevin.
"Washington, June 19. (TJ. P.)
Leaders In German military circles have
determined to make a stand in an ef
fort to prevent the kaiser's diplomats
from making concessions to the Unit
ed States in the submarine contro
versy. This information reached Wash
ington today in official and unofficial
advices. .Their reason for opposing
the granting of concessions is said
to be based On the belief that If the
aemanaa ox tne united States ' are
granted the mistaken impression will
get abroad that Germany tears even
tual defeat. 4The present conflict be-
ween the dipiomatlo and military cir
cles in Berlin is declared to be the
first real difference of opinion which
has- arisen since the opening of the
war.
The military men are, declared to be
willing to concede that America tis are
entitled to protection. They are en
titled, with other neutrals, to the
rights under - international law to.
travel anywhere on the hlgH seas. But
they urge that inasmuch as the allies
are carrying passengers and munition
on the same ships, Berlin should axk
the United States to consider the sug
gestion made by former Secretary
Bryan that vessels transporting muni
tions be prohibited from taking pan
sengers aboard. The military influ
ences urge that the United States could
easily withhold passports from thone
who refuse to agree to sail upon
American ships or other neutral ves.
