The New York Evening Sun financial review today said: Today s stock market was the dullest session for Beveral days past and sug gested a more or less pronounced scarc ity of securities. Sentiment was geuera ly cheerful, but there is a tendency on all sides to discourage speculation and the result is to render trading almost wholly professional.

In the afternoon, However, there was a general recovery in which several issues touch ed new high levels for the day. The undertone remained firm, however, a reflection doubtless of a more confi dent feeling with respect to this coun try's financial and.industriai position. l tie government financing bill as drafted calls for nn issue of $5,000,000, 000 in long term bonds and $2,000,000, 000 additional in indebtedness certifi cates to run for a year. When the bill shall have gone through tne per capita indebtedness in thi country will be increased eight fold, but it is interesting to note that tne govern nient can still issue up to $35,000,000,000 in bonds before the per capital debt reaches the amount of Great Bri tain 's.

The minimum membership w planned to be not le than i.Tou men and women who are interested in (giving help to. the suffering in both peace end war, It was emphasized that the memher- sbii) is not confined to doctors and nurses but people in every walk of life are wanted as the red cross work takes up every phase and something useful can be found for everyone. At a meeting yesterday afternoon, about twenty officers of the society and other citizens were present. In conducting this campaign for mem bership, the assistance of the newspa pers and the moving picture theaters is requested. At the meeting yesternay rtev. iticn ard N. Avison, of the First Methodist hurch. was deleeated to get the min isters of the city interested with the purpose of having a Red tross Sunday soon. On thin day the work of the Red Cross society is to be discussed and requests for membership made. Tho publicity committee was author ized to get out a catchy slogan that will arouse interest and attract mem bers. For instance, a slogan that will say "100 members in 25 days,'! or "Be one of 5000," etc., or of similar nature is wantc;!. Mrs. Lawrence T. Harris, wife of Judge Harris, and chairman of the ed ucational committee, was authorized to start the work of iirst nid instruction and to cooperate with the nurses and doctors. Mrs. II. D. Trasker, who for three years fas in Canada and is familiar with the work of red cross auxiliaries in making garments and preparing bandages, will instruct the auxiliaries in preparing for this phase of the work Arthur Balfour Coming On Special Mission! London, April 11. Foreign Secre tary Arthur J. Balfour is about to leave for Washington on "a special mission," according to official an nouncement today. During his absence Lord Cecil will act as foreign secretary. Lord Robert Cecil's duties as minis ter of blockade will be handled by one of his subordinates during Baltour s absence. Arthur J. Balfour was formerly first lord of the admiralty iu the old coali tion ministry in England and it was his support, with that of Andrew Bo nar Law, another unionist, that made the Lloyd-George ministry possible. England could hardly have selected a man of greater knowledge of war con ditions and of war organization than Balfour for such a mission. The decision of the supreme court yesterday iu the Twelfth street cases in which Judge tralloway was attirmeri at fects only those who were parties to the suit, according to city attorney, B. W. Macy. Tho decision declares void the assessment levied on the property of plaintiffs and cancels the lien of the city for the cost of the paving. Mr. Macy also says those owning property abutting the improvement who were not parties to the suit are not affected. The suit was originally brought to test the legality of the procedure followed by the council in making the improvement. The decision, Air. Macy says, Uoos not affect other paving assessments, not even that of the property owners abut ting on the street who were not parties to the suit.

The an nounccmcnt was to tho effect that the marriage woi-ld take place some time this tall. This niorningf at 8:20 o'cloc Mr. Prunk appeared at the Oregon Electric depot with a well filled grip.

EARLY MORNING FIRE (Continued from page one.) fire down and confined the damage. Cause of Fire Unknown. At 9 o'clock the whole corner was a mass of charred and blackened ruins. So effectively was the work of the de partment doue that scarcely any steam was arising anywhere. This is the sec ond fire that Chief Hutton has attended at this place and ho declared it was a hard thing to fight, on account of the rear portion and the Becond story being cut into small rooms. When it did catch fire, the blaze spread with start ling rapidity. Although it is not known just how the fire started, it is believed it must have been bnrninp n. considerable time bet ore being discovered. This tune is ! estimated to be between 15 minutes and j one-half hour. It is said the blaze may nave caugnt iroin a neaiing stove 111 inn of the back rooms of either the millin ery store, the pool hall, or tho barber shop, or from defective wiring. So com plete is the destruction, however, that little evidence was left as to where or how it started. It appears from the stories of those who arrived cn the scene first that the fire was centered in the vicinity of the pool hall, the barber shop ami the mil linery store. It is stated there were 'heating stovcs in I tablishments. all three ot these es Belonged to Farrar Estate. The property on which the various small frame buildings were located be longs to the Squire rariar estate and; the buildings are a. total loss. On ac count of the fact that it has been im possible to check up the losses, a close 1 estimate of the total loss can not be' made as yet, although it is not believed it will run much beyond $12,000. This' is a large estimate and it may be con-1 siderably less. j The loss on the buildings will amount to between $2.5(10 and $3,000, on which i there is very little insurance. No plans j for rebuilding will be" given out by j Johnny Farrar until the wreckage has; been cleared away. It is expected that! when a new structure goes up it will be of the best modern type and add con siderable to the downtown district. The loss of the Scotch Woolen Mills is estimated to be about $100 on which i insurance was placed. The amount that i will be recovered can not be estimated until the insurance adjusters make their report but it is thought the am iount will be about two thirds of the I actual loss. ! The Scotch Woolen Mills saved prac I tic-ally .all their woolens and samples. and will go on with business in the j store on Commercial street vacated by Kcinhart's Shoe company in the Eckerlcn building. The Heaviest Losers Levy and Sons who conduct the Mid get Meat Market report their loss to be about $2000 with about $600 insur ance. Their market was- damaged prin cipally in the rear where considerable meat was stored. Ml CKY DAY ttv saiv litHa Probably the largest loss will fall ou Kae and Palette, proprietors of the Central Cigar store, with damaged bil liard and pool tables and wet tobacco stock. An estimate placed on their loss is given as between three and four thousand dollars. On this it is said tlir had about $1500 insurance.

A canvass of all the wool in the northwest ware houses, similar to the canvases now be ing made in eastern wool centers, will be undertaken by tho government. Lo cal wool men declare today that gov ernment control of the wool trade, in cluding the arbitrary regulation of prices is not far distant. Because of the great amount of wool required for sailors' and soldiers' uni forms, blankets and various other items, the government is expected to be in the market for all or nearly all the wool produced in this country this year. It is understood here that the government proposes to commander all the wool it needs. All that remains will then he sold for domestic consumption but the government, it is believed, will fix the prices. Wool growers in the northwest de clare their willingness to turn over their crop to tho government at a rea sonable figure. Will fix the price of the Finished Product. It does mean this The same thing that occurred in Great Britain Will occur here. The price of alii woolen goods will be three times the present price.
