Mora than 5.000.000 bushels of wheat will be contributed from the Snake River territory this season, and start has been made on moving- a part of the rop. E. It. Budd. superintendent 01 the u.-w. K. t n. water im, r turned yesterday from a Jaunt of over MOO miles to view the Snake River steamers, as well as the steamer nar Ison, plying- on Coeur d'Alene Lake, ind savs orders for wheat have been ,-iven that will keep the marine force :usy for a time. "For immediate shipment there are 10.000 sacks at Asotin, 2000 sacks at wh 20.000 sacks each at Alpowa, Judkins and Mayview and 10.000 sacks at Central Ferry." said Captain Budd.

WHEAT RECORD XOT BROKEN Beaver Makes Good Time, but Co lumbia Had Faster Gangs. In three hours and 45 minutes the steamer Beaver loaded 800 tons of wheat at Irving dock yesterday, three gangs of longshoremen being worked. Re cently the Beaver took on more than 100 tons an hour at the same dock, but Feter Smith, superintending stevedore for the San Francisco & Fortland line, says the record made on the steamer Columbia nine years ago, of 200 tona in 45 minutes, two gangs being used, yet stands. Steve Galvtn. foreman on Irv ing dock, is credited by Mr. Smith with being the man principally responsible tfor the fast work, as he orders the cereal stacked so that tne nanunng to the ship's side is facilitated. There is a brisk movement of wheat on coasters, and besides the Beaver the steamer J. B. Stetson was cleared for iU Angeles with 600 tons, carrying 450,000 feet of lumber on deck, while the steamer San Ramon, sailing for San Francisco yesterday, carried 477 tona of wheat, 300 tons of oats, 80 tons of shorts, 25 tons of groats and (6 tons of miscellaneous stun, also 470.000 feet of lumber. The eteamer Yosemite was cleared with tSO.000 feet of lumber. WINDJAMMER FLEET COMING Lumber Will Be Loaded for Foreign Ports on Grays Harbor. HOQUIAM. Wash.. Sept. 27. (Spe cial.) One of the largest fleets of wind- Jammers engaged in the foreign trade to come to this port in recent months is now en route here to take lumber. Most of them are coming from the west coast.

West, from Val paraiso; J. Ia Stanford, from Mejilliones; W. J. Patterson, Apia and Wowona, from Pan Diego. All are schooners ex cept the Stanford, which is a barken tine. All Grays Harbor mills are now run ning full time. It Is stated others are plentifully supplied with lumber to go to foreign porta, but the milts are not hooking orders for long in advance, as they believe better prices will be of fered soon. All operators declare they could contract their outputs for months ahead for cargo business if they de sired. ELEVATOR PLANT FINISHING Wooden Bins Under AVay in Which Wheat Is First Received. In two months the building of 28 wooden bins for the storage of wheat, ar.d practically the reconstruction of what has been known as the O. & C dock, will be completed on the East Side, where the new concrete elevator of the Globe Grain A Milling Company stands. The entire improvement will represent an outlay ot about 1225.000 and Is rated among the finest plants in the West. The wooden bins are under way on the dock proper, and wheat that is placed in them will be carried from the bottom on a belt system t'irougb the cleaner and then to the concrete tanks for storage. The steamer Port land, owned by the company, is at the Craig yard. Long Beach. Cal., having tanks installed for carrying grain in bulk, and her overhauling will cost 140,000. She will be In operation as soon as the elevator is ready, and lit tle time will be lost in handling this season s crop.

FEARS FOR AMERICANA END Hope Yet Held Out That Eldorado Will Be Heard From. News received by way of 'Victoria that the crew of the overdue schooner Americana has escaped death, even though the vessel had piled up on Jar vis Island, caused relief here.

The fact that the Americana has been accounted for leads some to nope ior the safety of the crew of the schooner Eldorado, which left the Columbia River April 1 with a lumber cargo for Antofogasta.

If official Washington heeds the suggestion of Major Mclndoe, Corps it., (.,,... tt s A the dredge Gal veston, operated by the Government at Galveston, rex., win uo scui i Columbia River to assist the dredge Chinook In deepening and maintaining a channel across the bar. In recommendations forwarded to the chief of engineers, he mentioned the Galveston a well as the dredge Manhattan, the latter having been in service at New York. As the Galves ton has a length of 304 feet and the Manhattan is 288 feet, he believes the former will work to better advantage. The Chinook Is 460 feet long, so she will remain the flagship, though each of the others have a capacity for about the same amount of dredged material. Should the Government officials act favorably in the matter, the dredge selected will steam through the Pan ama Canal and be here in time to begin work in the Spring. Beaver Goes South Tomorrow.

NEW TORK, Sept. Z7. With the ex ception of Reading- and Union Pacific, each of which made grains of about a point, the stock market closed today with prices of the active stocks little altered, Trading; was light, and at the opening- the market sagged silently. Early losses were made up In most cases, al though another dip downward toward the close resulted in small net declines for many of the leaders. Strength of Reading and Union Pacific exerted lit tle influence elsewhere. Union Pacific rose to the highest quotation of the present movement. The bank statement made a disap pointing showing. Instead of the ex pected train in cash of $8,000,000, the increase was only $2,250,000. Berlin was in this market as a bidder for funds. For loans to carry over the settlement period, V4 per cent was of fered, but so far a could be ascertained New York bankers have declined to ac cept these terms. Bonds ruled steady. Total sales, par value $800,000. United States 2s de clined , the 4s common and Pana ma 2s a point on call on the week. TREASURY DEPOSITS HELP MARKET October Settlements Abroad May Be Fol lowed By Gold Imports. NEW TORK. Sept, 27. Uncertainty over the outlook for business was be lieved to be the principal cause of the halting tendency of stock prices during the week. The easing of the money market, in spite of seasonable demands, left no obstacle from that cause to the use of funds in the stock market. Opinions over trade prospects are con flicting. Mercantile and commercial circles express confidence. That tone is perceptible also in the great textile centers. Iron and steel trade and rail road traffic officials are not so confi dent. The decline in the price of re fined copper, in spite of the strong sta tistical position, also affects trade sen timent Corn-carrying railroads are estimating the probable losses of traf fic by reason of damage to that crop. An Increase of $288,000,000 in the op ...iinff in.nmA of the steam railroads is shown in the report compiled by the Interstate Jommerce uommisniuu mi . v, fi ...... i Aririo1 .Tn n a 30. Such a growth, even with a parallel Increase in net earnings, uoo u". out a plea of poverty or of oppression of the railroads. The exhibit la dread ed, nevertheless, for the Influence it may give to claims of all sorts on the railroads. The domestic money market was ben efited decidedly by the Treasury depos its with National banks in the South and West. The approach of the Octo ber settlements hardened discount rates abroad, but confidence was maintained that ease would follow the settlements and possible gold imports to New York. Disquiet in the Balkans also disturbed foreign markets. Strength of a few individual stocks, including Union Pacific, Reading and People's Gas, from rumored special causes, was lacking in sympathetic ef fect on the general list, owing to the obvious attempts of profit-taking sell ers to take advantage of their sustain ing effect.

Hogs Have Held Well During Past "Week Heavy Liquidation in t Sheep Market. Only a moderate amount of buaineaa waa put through at the Stock Yards yesterday, as usual in the half duy's trading on Sat urday. No feature developed aside from those previously reported. Receipts were 2 cattle, 2 calves, 125 hogs and 1753 sheep. Shipper were A. S. Hardee. Lyle, 8 cars sheep; O. Lucke, Canby, 1 car hogs: O. Lucke, Condon, 6 cars oattle, calves and hotrs; W. L. Owner. Nampa, 1 car hogs. The day's sales were as follows: Weight.

"Sentiment in the cattle market has not been such as to warrant optimism recently. While receipts have not totaled so much aa a week ago, there has been more than enough beef to supply trade needs. The 38 steer has been displaced, at leaat temporar ily, and extreme top quotation is $7.50 to $7.75. Butcher quality failed to attain the high standard of six days ago, and prices on cows were generally lower. Prime heifers at $7, cows $6.75, bulls at $5.50 and calvea at $0 are liberal price tops. Demand for any but choice finished cattle ia slow and outlet very unsatisfactory. "Bumping the hog market is not proving as easy a task aa buyers anticipated. No other explanation Is needed than supply paucity. Statistically, the market Is 10 to 15 cents higher than it was a week ago, and prime light swine are resting around $8.75. Some fairly good lots brought $8.50 to $S.60 and $8.7U, too, and amooth weighty stuff moved readily at $7.50 to $7.75, If receipts for the week had been larger -perhaps a more active market would have held forth, but growers are not rushing to mar ket as yet and liquidation la spasmodic. Of course, hogs are beginning to carry more weight as Winter approaches, and quality will be a better packing proposition eventu ally. Until receipts become steady enough to deluge the trade, ewltie prices have a good chance to range between $8 and $8.5u, "Mutton and lamb liquidation continued liberal last week, and there waa so much fat killing stutr in the run buyers did not have the nerve to shade bids. Choice moun tain wethers sold $1 to $4.25 and ewes at $4. Packers took to the lamb offerings in great style, bidding $5.25 for all the best ones. Pessimists said the markt would quickly subside to $5 if too muny lamb were liquidated this week, but they were disappointed. However, the trade ia not ao short-handed on lambs and mutton as it waa 10 days ago, and buyers may not manifest so much Interest during the remainder of September if liquidation is abnormally large."

CHICAGO PRICES LIFTED Shorts Stampede to Cover When News Is Received From Ottawa. Early Market Arfected by Huge Receipts. CHICAGO, Sept 27. What appeared to be authentic advices that Canadian duties would not bo removed until after the meeting of Parliament in the Spring had a decided rallying effect to day on the price of wheat. The market, which at first had been depressed, closed firm. V4c to c higher. Corn showed a net loss of ',4c to ,c and oats a gain of Vic to He Provisions finished Irregular, varying from 5 cents decline to an advance of a shade. Wheat traders who had overloaded stampeded to cover as soon as thty heard from Ottawa that there was good authority for a belief that the Canadian tariff would not be disturbed before next Spring. Until this buying flurry set In, the market was heavy, owing to the huge receipts from the Spring crop. Liberal deliveries on September con tracts, with fine weather for market ing, gave courage to the selling side in the corn crowd. Oats rallied with wheat. Provisions held steady, influenced by strength at the yards. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low.
