There ia reason to believe that at least one ship of this type has al- raady got away successfully from New Orleans. It ia known that four weeks ago i »ne merchant «hip left an Argentine port, ostensibly under the Swedish tlag. and that one other ship left Rio de Janeiro three weeks ago, also living the Swedish tlag. Both of lheer ships are in reality German raiders. One vessel which ia supistm«! to have left Rio de Janeiro «even wacks ago was a self-interned German freight carrier which sailed away practically in ballast, alleging as its destination an American port. Thia vessel ha* not yet been heard from. It ia believed that the British authorities are keenly alert to thia situation and that they have recent ly largely increased their cruiser strength in lx>lh the North an«l South Atlantic on the lookout for the«* escape«i veaeeto.

Grain Prices Decline Rapidly For some reason the price of grain in Portland has dr<>p¡<e«i rapidly within lhe past ten daya.
