The fatalities due to automobile ac-
cidents are distressing enough, but
one encouraging fact in connection
with them, as stated in a government
report, is that during the last five
years the number of fatal accidents
has not increased nearly as fast as
the number of cars. The cars have in
creased 775 per cent, while fatalities
have increased only 25S per cent. This
seems to indicate more careful driv-
ing at present.

Feed Grain Prices Remain Firm.

Portland-The oats and barley mar
kets became stronger at all points on
the Coast as it is believed the govern
ment will require a considerable sup
ply of these feed cereals on the border
and in Mexico. No army orders have
been issued for supplies other than
those already contracted for, so far
as known, but traders look for buying
for this account before long. For the
present it is likely the quartermaster' 8
department will be amply supplied with
feed stuffs previously ordered sent to
the regular army posts, which will be
delivered to border points.
Although the oats market has gained
in strength, there has been no specula-
tive trading in the country Oats
holders are still willing to sell at SIG.
At the Merchants exchange $3.50 to
25.75 was bid, prices 25 to rs cents
over the offers of Wednesday. No
barley is being offered for sale here,
but at San Francisco futures were
higher. California barley can be laid

Atlantic Freight Rates Decline.

Several commodity markets have
been more or less influenced by the in
creased supply of freight room and a
consequent reduction in freight rates,
says news bulletin issued by Rens-
korf, Lyon & Co., of New York.
Coffee has declined and cotton has
had an advance in this country as a re-
suit of the improvement in the freight
situation, but so far sugar has not re-
sponded by any decline. The fact that
the stand taken by this country has
checked the activity of the German
submarines has improved the freight
situation and reduced insurance rates.
There has been a large fleet that was
tied up by ice in North Russian waters
released and the allies have turned
back into commercial life many boats
that have been used as transports 1t
looks as if during the summer freight
congestion at the ports will be, in q
great measure, relieved and this is
bound to benefit generally American
business.
