In six months from May 1 to No- vember 1 practically as much. freight was sent to Portland, Ore., from the Atlantic seaboard by intercoastal steamship services as during the year ifrom May 1, 1920, to May 1, 1921, a jtotal of seventy-two steamers being ithe record. Overtures, understood to have come from abroad, have been made by for- ¢ign shipping lines to the Shipping /Board to re-enter the conference to ithe Levant. The board has four op- erators maintaining services to Le- vantine ports. The White Star liner Teutonic has been sold by the British admiralty to a firm of Dutch shipbreakers, who towed the vessel away from South- jampton recently. She. was built in 1889, a vessel of 10,000 tons, and at one time was the world's crack ship. The United States Shipping Board | has an idle fleet of 1,301 merchant | Vessels—1,038 steel ships and 263 | wooden cargo carriers, and many may | never put to sea again. Bids for the construction of three| passenger liners for its coastwise service have been asked by~ the San Francisco and Portland Company. The Norwegian steamer Sierra' M randa has been purchased by the In- | {ternational Star line, renamed Maria |Borgia and placed under the I’ana- man flag. i 1 Approximately weighing 300 tons, will be aboard the {liner Willsolo when she sails today ifrom the northwest Pacific ports for Baltimore and New York. She will also carry 750 tons of copper, 1,000, 000 feet of lumber and 30,000 cases of canned milk, satmon and fruit. Between the middle of the year and the end of October the ve of sil- ver and gold~held against the note icirculation of the Indian government rose from 55.6 per cent to 58 per cent.

W YORK. December 12.—After many experiments a manufacturer of rubber goods has produced a rubber ball for children which has the eolors alcanized into the material. The pictures and nursery rhymes are in- laid in the rubber just like patterns in linoleum and cannot be rubbed off. When dirty the rubber ball can be washed with soap and water, a sani- the process used, and the article is practically indestructible. TERMS COMPEL WRECKING.

BY STUART P. WEST. NEW YORK, Decembel; 13.—Inter- est, which had centered yesterday in the sensational movement of the ex- changes, today returned to the secu- rity market. The reason for this was twofold. In the first place, the ad- vance in the exchanges was not main- tained, but, on the contrary, there was every evidence that the upturn had been considerably exaggerated . by speculation and manipulation. In the second place, the stock mar- ket ttself grew much more interesi ing. It threw aside the hesitation of previous days, completely upsetting the ‘reaction theories” which had been propounded in commission house literature for weeks past. It launched out upon an active and broad advance, under which one after the other of the speculative leaders went into new i high ground for the season. 4 No fresh reason could conceivably be put forth for this demonstration. The market was simply continuing along the lines upon which it has been moving for the last two months or more. For this movement there have been three main causes. One is ihe overflow of the tremendous investment ;demand, another is the return to easy !tary feature which, it is said, will be | money conditions,. with every prospect iappreciated. The resiliency or bounce | that thesc will last well into next year, ‘of the ball has not heen affected by jand the third is the confidence that while 1922 will not be a boom year in business. it will be a period of Teason able profits in most lines of industry. Mexican Olls. From a professional trading stand- point the ability of Mexican Petro- leum to get through its November! high-and later its September top also} was of much importance not only for the stock itself. but for the entire market. Beyond certain rather vague talk about new oil wells, there was nothing new in the Mexican Petro- leum situation. Right along there has been a sleeping short interest in both Mexican Petroleurn and the; pan-Americans. The dividends comef off these stocks on Friday next, and what apparently happened today was that some of the shorts decided that they did not wish to have these div- idends charged up against them. Starting with this sort of buying the Mexican oil move was eventually {turned into a bear rout. { Copper. zinc and smelting shares continued to forge ahead as they have been doing steadily for a week~or) more past. There was nothing at all spectacular abdut their advance, no effort to mark up prices. Rather the movement gave the impression of genuine accumulation going on. Chile Copper was the real leader. |There is # strong pool at work in iChile Copper, but more important !than this was the evidence that a; large outside following was being attracted largely on account of the low price of the shares. Inspiration !got through 40 for the first time and |Ghino through 29. There was un- usual activity at advancing prices in jthe zinc shares. especially Butte and Superfor and the Little Butte Copper | {and Zine. i 1 l Rubber Stocks. Rubber and tire shares were bid up again in further response to the an- nouncement yesterday that the price of crude rubber has risen to 211 cents a_pound, the highest of the year and a recovery of 10 cents from the lowest. This advance of nearly 50 per cent means, of course, a great !deal for the inventories of all these icompanies. Most of them had written their crude rubber on hand down to 17 cents and some of them lower st The rise of the 1 {month, will, therefore, make a con- isiderable difference when it comes {to the rubber concerns balancing! itheir annual statements. l ! ‘International Mercantile Marine {directors will meet on Thursday to] i{take action on the preferred dividend. Due to the sharp rise which Marine pfd. has enjoyed, there are some {people who think that something will be paid on account of back dividends. But those in close touch with the af- fairs of the company say that only the regular dividend of $1.50 will be idecllred. i iARGENTINE WHEAT TO RUSSIA | { NEW YORK, December 13.—The Ar- | igentine foreign office is reported to have granted the request made by! Russia to be permitted to send a iwheat buyer to the Argentine. The {commodity markets in the Ar-! gentine have been generally dull| ilately, savs a report. Commer jcial failures during November in- |volved liabilities of approximately | 5:500,000 pesos, gold,-as compared with {about 8,200,000 pesos in October. Total {liabilities of failures so far this year jare estimated at 60,700,000 pesos, com- i pared with 23,400,000 pesos for the i same period in 1920. ! POLAND'S FOREIGN TRADE. | { NEW YORK, December 13.—Poland’s foreign trade for first six months of 1921 "shows exports measured by weight to have amounted to 878,000 tons, as against 208,000 in the first half of 1920. Imports amounted to 12,470,000 tons in the first half of 1921, a8 against 1,908,000 in the correspond {ing_period last year. By tonnage, i therefore, the excess of imports had i fallen from 1,700,000 tons in the first ;hal( of 1920 to 1,592,000 this year. COAL BUYING STILL SLOW. NEW YORK, December 13.—*N tion-wide the toal industry has| struck dead center in the matter of demand, and, with few exceptions, | :price.” says the Black Diamond. “As I for production. there is a change due ito the fact that with buying at a jstandstil many producers of various {coals have seen fit to close thel | operations rather “than continue to move their outputs at a loss. Clos- ing of mines was particularly notice- j| |able in West Virginia, where the de- jmand has fallen off materially and i the situation was further aggravated | by cancellations of orders.” I LYNCHBURG TOBACCO SALES. 1 {- LYNCHBURG, Va., December 13.— | Sales ‘of loose leaf {obacco here last | | week aggregated 893,000 pounds, javeraging $21.20 a 100 pounds. Al- though the sales were heavy, prices held firm, except there was a slight weakening in prices paid for com- mon_stocks. This average is re- markable, buyers say, especially when .the amount of nondescript to- ibacco in the week’s sales is consid- feredi Dark red grades are very high and in demand. Lugs are selling | from $5 to $18, leaf from $10 to $50 | LINER IN YACHT FEAT. - BALTIMORE, December 13.—Tak- fifty tons, from the Atlantic clear across }to Los Angeles without a scratch on her newly painted, varnished sides, is a diffcult thing to do. Yet that is what the West Haven of the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific Line did. The West Haven arrived last week at Los An- geles with the yacht on her after deck.

Uncertllgtydg:"g the .European financial situation, io- gether with downturns in forcign exchange, seemed to have considerable bearish effect. Estimates of a large exportable surplus in Argentina tended also to weaken the market despite reports that harvest weather was unfavorable. Opening quotations, which varied from % to 1 lower, with May 1.12% to 112% and July 1.01% to 7.02, were followed by a further decline. E Liberal arrivals of corn put corn and oats both on the down_ grade. After opening’a shade to % off, with May at 53 to 53%, the corn market continued to sag. 2 Oats started unchanged to %a¥% lower, May, 37% to 37%. and later showed a moderate general decline. Provisions were weak, in line with hogs and grain. Something of a wheat rally took place later, -owing to reports that Europe had bought 1,000,000 bushels. The close was unsettled, % to 15 net lower, with May 1.11% to 1.11% and July 1.01% to 1.01%. in the late dealings corn prices showed but little power to recover.

NEW YORK, December 13.—The stimulus afforded the bond market today by the continued strength of the foreign government gtoup raised the average of prices and affected every part of the list. Japanese bonds were in demand around their top prices of yesterday, and there was unusual activity in Chinese 58, which rose about 2 points to 46%. A mow high was made by the Italian 6! They got up over 2 points to 93 City of Tokio 55 also advanced sharj.- and sold at 68 for the first time this year. The reaction in sterlins exchange was reflected in_the Unitcd Kingdom 5%s of 1929. These bonds dropped almost a point from last night's final and then regained some of the loss. The other members of the group were firm. Liberty bonds rose slightly. Railway bonds were again irregu- lar, but, in the main, higher. Promi- nent in the dealings was the activity of the nmew Missouri, Kansas a Texas issues. ~Adjustment 5& and the second 4s both struck new high levels for 1921. On the other hand, a num- ber of the more speculative issues were weak, including New Haven s which fell over a point: Southern Railway first Reading 48, Lehigh Valley 6s, general 4s and Chi- cago Railway 5s fell off fractionall Among the industrials the copper and tire issues were especially strong Cerro de Pasco 8s reached 115 for the first time this vear, and Chile Copper 65 advanced about a half point. United States Rpbber 5s advanced about a point. _Mexican Petroleum 3s rose more than a point. New York city fifty-year 4% per cent bonds, offered publicly on Thursday. traded in on the curb around 104. The reaction whieh has character ized the bond market recently is gen- considercd a healthy condi- tion. but it has in no way affected the demand for new offerings. This (fact was shown again by the quick jsales of the $10.125.000 Wilson & Co 71: per cent gold bonds. The profit-taking that has occurred in the investment market has been that of speculatore.
