Bearish Trend of
Grain Market Is
Covered by Europe
Further DecIIao Looked for by Nw
Yorkers as AectuniilAtJon
Grows. , .
New York, Aug. 16. The New York Herald
says:
Sentiment of, the grain trade is extremely
bearish.
"Exporters who study the situation closely
say there u' so little wheat sold abroad that
when the present holes are filled up and
grain commences to iccumulate prices are
.likely to decline sharply.
There has been a setback in; -the winter
wheat owing to the nearness in the deliveries
of Manitoba. ' which are relatively cheaper,
and are expected to tie Better tbanj winters,
and It is regarded as a reasonable argument.
Hedging sales are expected from now on and
traders generally s?e more to, put prices
down than at any previous tlmtg this season.
"A few of the corn Bpeeialists consldet
the buying of a better clars than the selling.
The market, however, is a sn&ll one and
they are not looking for much change in
prices. They say It will be difficult to bull
corn with wheat values declining."

Merchants' Exchange wheat prices were 2c
off today with no salea.
The "dealers followed closely the tactics of
Saturday, the tendency being ' towards an un
loading. - This, say some, is bound to come
wltbin the next few weeks.
The local market felt the action of east
ern and foreign pits, all of which were off.
There. has been no foreign demand for the
past four days and but little ia expected for
the present.
Oats and bran felt the effects of the action
and were a trifle off also.

tion of the foreign exchange market was the
overshadowing infloence on the stock exchsnge
today. There appeared to be no stopping of
the decline In exchange at a low level 4.64
for eight - draft on London and the market
Sc. below the level wbicb prevailed at the
close Saturday.
There was almost aa striking a break In
New York exchange on Paris to'6-02.' mean
ing six franca, er not quite $1. Exchange in
other foreign markets waa unsettled and de
velopments In some respect were more ex
traordinary tbB during the first week of
the war.- s -
The floe t nation gave interest to the neces-,
slty for quick action by foreign bankera to
ward returning to- normal conditions and pre-,
venting further demoralization of exchange
rates. It ia evident eotne comprehensive pro
gram must be determined upon la London If
the decline is to be checked. Negotiations are
being conducted between - banking interests
here and in . London, but no announcement
baa been made. Indications are, however,
that some credit will be established so Lon

New Method of Handling
Prisoners Proposed to Save
Money, r . - ;
WOULD ELIMINATE GUARD
State Parol OfTloer Joe Keller B
. turns Trom San Fravnoisco with
Man la Custody.
The steamers Northern Pacific and
Great Northern may become modern
"Prison ships' If suggestions made by
State Parole . Officer Joe Keller and
looked upori-. favorably by officers of
the company are carried but. Cells
with bunks for four prisoners will
probably be bul.lt on each boat thus
making the bringing of prisoners from
California points and the taking of
prisoners to California safer.
Should these cells be provided. Sher
iff Hurlburt suggests that sending vt
officers to San Francisco for prisoners
would be unnecessary as prisoners
cculd be placed on board the boats by
authorities there and taken from thd
vessels by local officers at Astoria.
This, it is pointed, out, would save
the state and counties much money.
Has Two Ken In Custody.
Keller returned this morning with
Louis JPeldman, alias Fellerbaum, 17
years old, wanted on a charge of pass
ing checks to which the name of Dep
uty District Attorney Thomas G.
Rjan were forged, and W. C. Galloway,
a parole violator, ; sentenced from
Baker for from one to five yeara and
paroled after serving one year.
Keller said that Galloway issued a
$900 bad check in payment for an au
tomobile in San Francisco.
"I went in to look at a car," he said
Galloway told him, '"and the salesman
tried to bunco me. tI thought I'd play
the same game and gave him the bum
check." 1
Feldman was arrested in Oakland
and will face a charge in Portland of
passing worthless checks.
Would Bay Anything.
"Feldman said he would buy any
thing if only he could pay for It in
checks," said Keller. "He offered to
buy - the Northern Pacific, while we
were talking to the purser coming up
and I guess would have-done it If he
could have given a check."
Keller took with him a device by
which he could handcuff a prisoner to
a suitcase in such a way that the
handcuff would not show. The Idea
is Keller'a and the model was made by
George Zerr, a prisoner in the peniten
tiary, who before incarceration had
charge of the steel work on the Mult
nomah county jail.
Keller will take Galloway back to
Salem today.
Would See County Protected.
In a letter which will be submitted
to the county commissioners at their
next meeting District Attorney Evans
this morning advised them that they
have no authority to move the ferry
"Webster from its run in Portland to
the Vancouver ferry route for the
Clarke county fair, September 6 to 11.
He suggested that should the boat be
moved and rented to the Portland
Railway, Light & Power company as
proposed, the members indemnify
themselves and the county against
possible loss of the boat from fire or
other extraordinary cause.
Plan Trip to Mountains.
County Judge Cleeton was in court
this morning long enough to clean
up pending probate work. He will
leave this afternoon with Mrs. Clee
ton for a week in the mountains back
of Estacada. Next Monday he will
again open court for a short time.
Estate Estimated at $30,000.
A petition for probate of the 'will
of John Richen, who died July 30,
was filed this morning, in which his
estate is .said to be worth $30,000. He
left $100 each to- six young children
and the balance to his widow, Mrs.
Lena Richen.
Mrs. Langdon Files Suit.
Mina J. Langdon this morning sued
for divorce from Daniel G. Langdon to
whom she was married in Charles City,
Iowa, July 20, 1882. She eharged that
he deserted her in December, 1912.
Property rights were settled out of
court.

Belle Makin, alias Inez Altsman, ar
