Reports that representatives Of the
steel makers had reached an agree
ment with the government on the
question Of prices were accepted as
favorable if true, but not much con-
fidence was placed in them. Though
there was a great deal of Irregular
ity in the price movement, majority
of the iron, steel and equipment is
sues closed with ret losses. Cop
pers did rather better, on the report,
apparently well founded, that the
government had purchased 60,OO0,-
900 pounds of that metal at tenta-
tive price of % cents a pound, but
such gains as were recorded were
only fractional. Railroad shares,
which have shown pronounced
strength during the last week for the
most part, dropped sharply. A few
of the inactive issues advanced a
trife, but all those in which dealings
were heavy sold well below Tues
DAYS close. 1t was the weakness In
these issues which was mainly re-
sponsible for the general reaction.
The decline was attributed to re-
port, without foundation so far as
could be learned, that the Commerce
Commission had decided to postpone
a decision in the rate case for sixty
days, while making a further ex-
animation of the railroad situation
That would be disappointing to Wal
Street, not only because of the delay
but because earnings exhibits in the
next two months might be such as tC
upset the case for higher pay.

Dear money and fears that 1t
would become still dearer have exer-
cised an adverse influence on stock
market operations of late, and yet
the market made no response to the
drop in the quotation on call and time
funds. Perhaps this was owing to
the fact that the decline in rates did
not come until we'll into the after
noon. when the days demand for
money had been practically filled.

Camp Expects
Stiff Battle

Interest at Camp Lewis is high
In the Multnomah-Camp Lewis
game scheduled for Saturday aft
ernoon. The game will be played
on the camp parade grounds and
no admission will be charged.
Lieut.. Nahum, manager of the
camp eleven, says that the game
will be played at the camp in Or
der that men who could not at
ford the transportation and admis-
sion to the game played in Taco
ma, may have a chance to witness
one good scrimmage this season.
The Multnomah folks are toutsd
as the creme de la creme of foot
ball and the camp players are no
slouches, so It seems likely that
there will be a lively battle Satur-
day.
A large crowd of civilians from
Tacoma and Seattle is expected.
