Sharp advance took place during the first part of the day, but were practically wiped out in the latter trading. The eastern buying- which carried values upward was ascribed for the most -part to a prominent speculator, who apparently had been short aid who had changed his posi tion. NeaKernesof the visible supply total and of the stock on hand here facilitated the upturn In valtlcs. Sub sequent heavy selling was ascribed more or less to profit taking and to a setback in the price of May delivery at Winnipeg where there was said to be free country selling, crtving out of support in the corn market here count- ed also as a bearish factor In wheat to ward the last. Weakness which developed In prices for corn and oats seemed to be due to enlarged rural offerings of corn, the result of the fact that corn planting is Hearing completion. Increased supplies of lard hero had a bearish effect on provisions. THE OLD HOME TOWN. l- I get-on' S-S N 1 tn" is y Q5x s& TO TAKE CARE OP TUB T 45tS?

Kails I'mrrtaln Oil Dull Market. NEW YOHK. May 18. (A. i.) Yesterday's operations in the slock market were perfunctory and dull. Men ere public participation seemed restricted to the selling side. Some rails suffered additional moderate losses as a result of pessimistic views uttered by transportation officials and believed to foreshadow more dividend readjustments. Similar conditions applied to many steels, equipments, motors and other issues. Although cull money held at seven per cent, shorts were driven In before the close by purchases of local traction issues, as well as gas issues, coppers and shippings. Final prices In most instances were considerably above low est levels. Sales amounted to 575,001) shares. Continuance of the holiday period abroad detracted from activity of for eign exchange. Except for the Dutch rate, all important international re mittances were firm to strong. Foreign Issues were the most con spicuous features of the bond market. Chilean S'a reacted on dissolution of the underwriting syndicate and Mex icans lost ground with French munici pals. Domestic bonds were steady, al though the liberty group showed fur ther irregularity. Total sales, par val ue, 110,750,000. OUTBURSTS OF EVERETT TRUE HcRCS'S.

Astoiians who were admiring the sun set across the great harbor at the mouth of the Columbia river were re cently treated to a rare sight when the schooner Edward R. West, with all sails drawing, came a-sailingout of the sunset, to drop anchor off the city. Wholly unassisted, the windjam mer accomplished what is considered impossible In most seaports, and came the whole distance into harbor under sail. Under ordinary circumstances a sailing vessel cannot enter a port without the aid of a tug. because few channels will permit the tacking ne cessary, the wind is seldom exactly favorable and the river currents arei likely to swing it from its course. The channel at Astoria was deep and wide enough to permit the West to come in when sho found no tug available at the time she reached the entrance to the hurbor. The schooner sailed the distance of 12 miles from the open seas into Astoria in less than two hours. OFFICE CAT BV JUNIUS COPvftiQMT 1921. 0V COGAft ALLAN MOSS. TRADE MARK NEQISTEneO U. ft. PAT. OFr.
