No action whatever aside from reading the cotrmnnlcatlon was taken by the Portland Merchant Exchange In regard to penalizing the wheat grower, who hlp their grain In bulk Instead of In Jute bag. Strenuous efforts are being made by hag Iqttrest to force Portland to cooperate with1 Seattle, which h.. already gone on coord. In placing the penalty for .hipping grain In bulk so high that the practice c.nnot eeenre a good tart. Everywhere In the Pacific northwe.t there I much agitation regarding the building of bulk warehouses for grain handling. The Lw l.ton. luaho. Tribune .ay. that Contractor J. H. Adam has returned from Neeperc, where be baa been In conference wltb official of tb Farmers' union relative to the ronatruetlon of number of elevators. The Nezperce union 1. contemplating the construction of three ele vators, two of which will be of very large capacity, while plans of other union would bring the number to be constructed In the prairie region up to 10 or 12. The Nezperce union will further consider the plans at a meeting to be held May fl. A matter to be Investigated I whether the season ha. ad vtneed to such extent that the elevator, could not be provided this year In convenient time for handling the crop. In which event con struction would be postponed to a later time. Mr. Adam etate that the union official are milking a moat thorough lnveatigatlon of all phases of the subject before taking definite tf I. hven In the TA'Ulamett valley the bulk sys tem la finding favor. At Albany a deal ba. Just been completed whereby M . Sender A Co. lias leased from the Oregon Electric Hallway company the red warehouse near the west end of Klfth street, opposite the Magnolia flour mills. The transfer wag made today, and M. Senders A Co. will take charge Immediately, fitting the warehouse up for the fall buslueaa. 'Ye, w have taken over the property." aald .Maurice Sender, today. "We are going Into 1 tie htiiness more extensively and the elevator will be a great couveniem e to in. It will particularly sjivc In the bundling of I (Train for. atortntr It tit hlns u- ii-ill nof ha I forced to buy so msny sticks when the market price Is so high. We will fix tip the old ma chinery which 1. now In the mill and Install what new machines are necessary." The elevator ha a capacity of from 100.000 to 120,000 bushels of grain, and the taking of this property over by the Senders company means a great deal to the fannera. IS WITH A HEAVY LOSS SHOWN Dealers Offering No Higher Than 45c a Pound and Are Really Not Anxious to Taloe Hold Then Bumping of Price Expected. A severe break In mohair price 1 the present outlook according to leaders of the trsde here. At the present time the trade 1s generally offering 45c a pound, but Is showing lime anxiety to take bfrld even at this quo tation. Quite a few goat lntrrests refused to ac cept the recent record qaotatlon for hair and tne result Is that they are face to face with enormoua losses as a penalty for holding be yond the market value., In fact, all along fhsjt trade her ha. con tended that the price of mohair was ele vated this .eaaon more hecnuse of the compe tition between local buyers than because of eny great strength In the eastern trade. While all agree that mohnlr prices should have been advanced, the advance. ' that did take place were beyond all expectations. In the meantime these continue strong tone for wool, although but little selling Is shown among sheepmen to offer.

S ) Anaconda led a break In th opening stock market today by posting first sales at 81, t point hVr yesterday' close. That stock was the first sole' and the balanc of th list followed It trtnd to a general break of'lVtS point, with some Issues posting early losses of from 4 to 6 points. Th German not wa th cans. It cam ta sections and the first portions received wer o ustrued by rice observer and conservative; rt ports as defiant and evasive and naturally unfavorable to th market. In consideration of this government threat against an unaatla fectory reply. Gradually, however, the mar ket regained Its equilibrium ss succeeding por tions of the German answer were received and read, with resultant deduction of a nuc conciliatory nature. During the first hour 811,400 .bars changkd r.M'ds. constituting a near record. The rail held better than any class of stocks. Selling .In this department was mors restricted and value less oppressed. Erie. Great Northern. Baltimore A Ohio, New York Cen tral, Reading and Union Taclfle were most active. The opening In the Issue was only frsetionally under In each Instance snd abe quent toa.es were confined within s narrow uargln. Th steel stock probably suffered th moit. Crucible opened t 78, 6 points under, but later recovered to abov 77. Lackawanna waa weak but not abnormally active. United States Steel was hevlly old on tb Ireak, and the price dropped to within H of the year low, when sale were reported st 80 u,. Aside from Anaconda, the metal list opened about 2' points lower, but later recov ered more rapidly than any other department. The Industrial stocks started at general range of from 1 to 2Vi points under, but to ward the close value manifested a decidedly f.rmer tone. Without exception., the leading specialties suffered losses during tb depres sive period. Mexican Petroleum was less ac tive than It ha been and sold around 960 to 98. - Tin r re of New York prices furnished bv Overbeck & Cooke Co., 21R 217 Board of Trsde Financial, Industrial, Development i More People at Work Makes Better Returns for Street Car Com pan j April Earnings Show Slight Improvement Over Some Month of Last Lear. .' , Uor Psopls " at Work Fa-tro nixing Strsst Cars. C. N. Huggins, treasurer of the Portland Railway. Light and Power company, Is of the opinion that to the fact of many more people being at work now than at th same period of last year is due the Improvement ahown In th earnings statement of the company for April. The latest re port, when compared with the corresr ponding month of last year, and a comparison of the earnings for the 12 mocths ended April $0, 1916, and for the corresponding period of 1814-15, both show a nice Improvement. The lumber mills are employing more peo ple Is one cause of the Improvement, according to Mr. Muggins. The Jitney competition Is about as keen as it has been for some time past, the improve ment having been made In spite of this fact. The betterment in gross earn ings for the latest month Is quite small, however, only equaling 1 per cent. The gross earnings of the Portland Railway, Light and Power oompany for April, 1916. were $447,967, and for the corresponding month of 1915, $442,526. The gross earnings for the 12 months ended April 30, were $6, 9S3.483, compared with $5,886,596 for the 12 months ended April 30, 1915.

Chicago, May 5. (I. N. S 1 Wheat con tinned it. downward trend tod.y. When the pit opened May option, hsd changed bands st $1.13, and before the first hour had been spent values were l4e lower. The July snd September opening price rang wa about Vjo lewe than the close and a further drop of 1 cent In both classe occurred in the early trading. The general political situation was sscrlbed as the dominant factor In th lower market today. Professionals yesterday freely predict ed a bulge hould the German reply fa vorable and a break if unsatisfactory. A re covery movement was well nurtured on the strength of the Improved tone of the last section of the German note. This change in the aspect of the political situation put the market back Id Its position of vulnerability to the influence of domestic cron conditions. Lat est reports from the belt substantiated crop dnmage opinions and Indications now are that liic acreage yield In g'od territories will not be normally heavy In generSl. Corn opened about steady to tb Close, while ont sold fractionally down. A sym ppthctic reaction was pnsted in both of these grains when wheat started on Its downward cenrse.

The plant of the Crown-Willamette Pulp and Pa per company in Oregon City will be enlarged In the near future, according to a report from an authoritive souro.

According to Louis Bloch, vice pres ident of the company, a $2,500,000 pa per mill will be built at Ocean Falls, as an addition to the pulp mill now there. The sulphite mill equipment, now a part of the Coos Bay plant, will be moved to Ocean Falls, and two new paper machines have been ordered for the mill at Ocean Park. The property at Ocean Falls consists of 60,000 acres of timber, adapted for pulp and paper purposes, and a saw mill that is capable of cutting 400,000 feet of lumber per day.
