The trouble la that no -car are coming- west, either eupty or loaded with freight for use hr, or for Pacific export. Kastern terminals dre congested with cars that cannot be unloaded because warehouses are crammed with goods waiting loading on Europe-bound ves sels. The same Is true of the Gulf rlties. Embargoes on certain ports are now in force because of the futility of ending other commodities there only to lie undisturbed or remain in the cam for lack of room elsewhere. s " medy Is Sought. Beth the Oregon public service com- 'mission- and the Washington commis sion are seeklnir to relieve the situa tion so far, with little success be cause of the great quantities of lum ber and wheat that, has to be moved now and because of the comparatively 'few cars , being received from other points.. - . Oeaerel Xmbarro Dlo-ossed. ' Talks of a general embargo of New Tork on all export goods has been com mon among railroad men during the last ajreek. Buch a . procedure, while it would work' a great hardship 'upon the carriers) themselves, would give opportunity to use what cars thero are for general traffic while the port con gestion la being cleared away. The chief hurt being felt In the .northwest from the shortage la In the lumber districts, where mills ars . compelled to let good orders go by de fault because they cannot get cats to ship them in. It. was estimated yesterday that nearly 2000 more cars than are avail able are needed sorely In Oregon alone. The Southern Pacific had or ders . for nearly 1000 cars that it could not aupply, the 0.-W. RAN. had more than J0, the Northern Pacific,-Great Northern and North Bank were short many cars, the figures not being- available last night. Washington Is said to be in some what better shape than Oregon be cause more cars are being- received fit Seattle, leaded for the most part with ammunition destined for Vladivostok - When - these are unloaded they are available for lumber and grain. - V, W.

There fore, we, devote the next' fifteen day to the quick selling of nearly a hundred of the highest-grade player pian,os I ever shown in7 Portland. ; Nearly all jof them brand new ones; also some concert used ones and jaumerou player, pianos sold by other firms that we have accepted in part payment for the most highly per fected player pianos which are sold by the House of Eilers.
