Stock Market Today
More Encouraging

New York, Nov. 23.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Today's stock market clearly reflect
ed encouragement in two directions. In
the first place, the short interests which
were rendered extremely cautious by
lreeent steps takenoby the stock ex
change authorities to look into short
selling, are gradually getting back THEN
courage and the accession to selling fol
the short account shows some expan-
sion in consequence. On the other hand,
news developments, as well as the psy-
Geological element have proved propit-
ious in imparting impetus to investment
buying and in a more limited sense
speculative as well. Stocks were not Of
fered freely. While there were, there
fore, occasional reeessions in the gen
eral list, strength underlay the market
and gains were at times one to four
points and were we'll sustained.

City of Salem Must
Build Adequate Wharf

If the city really wants any more
money spent on the Willamette river in
order that Salem might be granted
water rates, the city itself must get
busy and provide an adequate wharf,
according to communication to the
Commercial club from the war depart
ment. In other words, the war depart
ment puts it up to Salem to build a
municipal dock and then take the
chances of securing greater river traf-
fic and then after the river traffic and
wharf are in evidence, there might be
an appropriation for deepening the river
Instead of deepening the river to bring
about river traffic and doing what it
can to bring about this business, where
by a municipal dock might be neces-
sary, the war department intimates
there should be dock first even if
business does not justify it. F. G. Deck
ebach is chairman of a committee ap-
pointed several months ago to take up
the municipal dock proposition, but it
was dropped as the city seemed to have
plenty of trouble on its hands solving
the Willamette bridge proposition.

Wool Market Awaits
Arrival of Foreign Clip

Portland, Or, Nov. 22.-Rather quiet
tone is shown at the moment in prac.
ltieally all worlds centers for wool.
Arrival of cargoes of Australian wool
lis being generally awaited by the trade
of the United States. While some bus.
liness was reported recently in the At
llantic coast markets at previous priel
les, the tendency of mill interests has
been to hold back to see what effect
the foreign offerings would have upon
the market
The Philadelphia Public Ledger says
that pending arrival of Australian
woods in the United States is acting
Jas drag on the local market. This
first shipment from the $4,000 bales
of released wools is due at Vancouver,
B. c., some time this week, and those
mill men not holding off entirely are
to make use Of the event
as a means of beating down prices. As
a result of the attitude of the manufae-
turers, the market is more or less quiet.
Although values Of wool are no higher
than week ago, prices continue firm
and sellers are obtaining asking fig.
ures.
