STREET 41 NEW YORK Wl The stock? mar ket presented a mixed appearance Tuesday when an early decline . was reversed by a lew strong sec tions of the list. Prices spread out around a point either way with ft lew extending beyond those limits. Trading was subdued during pe riods when prices were depressed, i ,hA tntui nf business came to an estimated 1,600,000 abares for the day. That compares wun i,- cenmn .h.rx trnriPli MODdSV when the market was slightly low er Columbia Basin Water SusDivGood Mi n-iRTLAKn uPi snows are deep along much nf the Upper Columbia Basin headwater streams and already there Is spec ulation ot possible flooding In late PMarch snowfall will be one of the deciding factors and speed of the melt will be another. . But already, it seems clear, the Kootenai Basin of extreme north Idaho Is going to have a lot of water. ' ThMA ronelus ons were m ww water outlook report for March 1, suumI Tuesday by the U. S. Weallv r Bureau and the Soli Conserva tion Service, prepared oy Amnouy J. Polos, hydrologist in charge of the river lorecasi center nexe, j Morlan W, Nelson,' the Columbia Basin snow survey leader, the re port says this: . The outlook tor irrigation, power and other water needs from now throueh September, the end of the water year, is fine. All streams, except some in Idaho, are listed for more than 100 per cent of the long time average runoii. mis jear's runoff In the Idaho rivers of Importance range from 80 per cent on the Snake at Weiser to 87 per cent on .the Clearwater at Spalding. There will be water shortage on some Snake tributar ies in Oregon and Idaho unless March snows are heavy. The runoff In the Kootenai Basin is expected to be the third great est in recent years, exceeded only by that of the disastrous year of 1948, and by 1951. : Whether this means severe flood ing depends on how the melt .comes gradually or In a sudden surge as determined by tempera . tures and rains. And whether the rest of the Co lumbia River system gets flooding hinges too on" those factors plus March snowfall. r The April 1 report will concern . Itself with flood possibilities and Probable peak levels of the rivers rosea on normal lemperaiures cur ing the melting period. As of now, the water year run off percentages at designated points: Columbia at Grand Coulee 112, at The Dalles 105; Spokane at Spokane 104; Okanogan near Tonssket 121; Wenatchee at Pesh astln 1H; Yakima near Parker 117; Ekagit near Concrete 119.
