OPENING FOR FLOUR
Lower Freights Expected to
Revive Oriental Trade.
LOCAL MARKET VERY ACTIVE
Hops Are Dragging in the Abce'nce of
Eastern Buying Orders Wool
Contracting Ceases Marked
Slump In Eggs.
The blockading er Vladivostok ad th sht
ting off of the aontraband-cnrrying business
from jl largo number of tramp steamer, while
'topping the movement of oats, barley, hay
and Other army Mipplle?, may have the effect
of materially benefiting the export Sour trade
r-t this Coast. Thf demand from the Orient
'"r American flour has been almost of a hand-o-mouth
chaiaeter of late. While Blocks on
the other side are not large, the Japanese and
fhlnwe have refrained from buying, complain
ing that asking prices wore beyond their reach.
Millers could not make concessions in the face
of. a steadily advancing wheat market, and con
sequently flour shipments fell to a very small
total. Kcllef is now In eight In the 6hape of
lower transportation charges, which will en
able the working of business on a profitable
boeis. It Is figured that tramp steamers can
b secured on a $4 basis, as against the $5
tariff of the regular lines. No fixtures of this
kind have been made. yet. but a number of
rtiips are offering, and it is probable that when
several present deals with the Orientals are
fl-Mcd, the announcement of a charter or two
will be made. The local flour situation is very
god, and the strength of prices indicates the
possibility of an advance in the near future.
This fact has stimulated buying by the city
and country trade. Eastern business a elow
at thr moment.
TV HE AT The fluctuations In the Eastern
marked, incident to the Gates manipulation,
have had nothing more than a sentimental ef
fect on trade here. Local prices have moved
backward and forward In sympathy with Chl
cpgo, notwithstanding business on Eastern ac
frunt has ben very limited. Trading with
California has alwj been .mall. Of export
btutinriK there has been none.
The effect on European markets of the Ar
gentine and Indian movement is summarized
by the London correspondent of the Northwest
ern Miller, as follows:
It Is now generally recognized, notwithstand
ing the uwial very optimistic first crop esti
mates from the Argentine Republic, that the
decrease In the production in the Important
provinces of Santa Fe and Cordoba la so seri
ous that the total crop le bound to ba less
ban last year'. Some of our Argentine
houses put the falling off at as much ii 20
per cent, which would represent about 3,000.000
quarters.
It may be assumed, however. Hist lhcr will
be a surplus of 10.000.000 quarters, against
11.500.000 last year. It is a well-known ex
perience la regard to Argentine exports that
75 per cent of the total surplus Is exported by
the end of June, no that a surplus or 10.000,000
quartern this year (which would be the second
:arge5t en record) would supply an average
weekly shipment of 200.000 quarter.! in the first
fix months of the year, of which about 250.000
quarters -would be available for Europe.
Lnt year the actual weekly average ship
ments from January 1 to June 80 to Europe
wrre SSO.000 quarter. This means, of course,
a liberal supply during the coming five months
and constitutes perhaps the most important
bear fa(pr In the general position, because It
!t tolerably certain that India win also be free
Jn her shtpmcntR In this period, during which
!at year the weekly shipments wore 135,000
q carter.
I may indeed be expected that Argentina
and India combined may furnteh 450.W0 quar
ters a week in the first six months or this
year As Europe requires about 1. 1C0, 000
quarters a week, it will be s&cn how much
depends upon Russian exports If America and
Canada find themselves unable to supply more
than the lOO.OOu quarters a. week which has
been their rata of exports of wheat and flour
to Europe during these part six months. Many
People think that, as Russia, owing to the
tightness -of money, due to the war. has been
sMPi-ing with most extraordinary freedom
during the past six monthr, there will be much
1 to spare during the coming six months.
One point is clear, that the Russian visible
upply of wheat Hn the ports and inland cen
ters) on January' 7 was about 3,000,000 quar
ters, against 3,700.000 last year.
The marknt Is. therefore, in a very Interest
ing condition, owing, of course, mainly to .the
absence or American wheat, and the Indica
tions for th remainder of this reason point to
the portability of surprises In movements.
HOFS-TJio market continues to drag in the
absence of Eastern orders. The only business
reported in the past week were the purchase
by Beavey Metzler of a lot at Hubbard at
54 cents, and the buying or a lot at Eugene by
Kneus & Sons nt 20 cents. The belief eeems
to be well founded that prices will later ad
vance, but there Is a difference or opinion as
to how far the decline will go before the slump
1 checkod. Some dealers think the- bottom
has been reached, while others confidently look
fw a 20-eent market. It Is plain that values
wilJ continue weak as long as any growers try
to force "ales In the absence of buying orders
held by the trade.
Eastern and foreign advices show no change
in the s-ltcallon. A New York report of the
1 7th said:
Business continued to be reportod as flat, and
the tone of the market was easy. Advices re
ceived from primary points reported a limited
amount of hops offering for sale, but no busl
ines resulted, flue to the indifference shown by
buyers, both dealers and brewers being re
ported as slow buyers. Foreign advices con
tinued to report dull, sagging markets.
A letter from Nurnberg-Saaz. dated Febru
ary 6, eald of the German market:
During the past few weeks a rather quiet
tone has prevailed on our market, and Inquiry
was less active. Prices consequently have
ellgrtly given way, and arc. at the pre.mt
moment, at buyers' ravor. Stock is In a
s:r.a;:er compass than it ever was before in
the last 20 years at this time, for this reason
aw advance In price Is expected If weather
favorable for beer consumption sets in.
WOOL Latest advices from the East report
a eteady market. There Is some talk of lower
jwnes. but It Is not certain that thee will
develop. So far as can be learned, little or
no contracting is being done In this state now.
In addition to the reports from tho reveral
euniis that hve ba printed, the following
rom the Canyn City Blue Mountain Eagle of
February 17 is of Interest:
hr wool market does nt seem to be as
firm as it was several weeks' ago, and while
he prlee has apparently declined, the wool
grewers of Grant County, who refused to con
Ira tKHr next Spring's clip at 10 cents per
:ouni. are not alarmed. It was only a few
wrcks ago that Robert Starkweather of Baker
n-y interviewed many Grant Countv hcep
men with l He Mew or contracting their wool
o Judd. Root & Co.. of Boston at about 16
" ,J" npr Pound on an average. The most of
wool-growers declined to contract. Since
M' Starkweather's return to Baker City he
eerned a mrag from his company to make
" future contracts at a rate of 16 cents. At
.he present time but very few of the wool
trtwers or Grant County have contracted their
t it;, and those who have nevcxpect to realize
equally as good or a better figure In the open
market next Spring. ThlF. however, remains
be een.
i'OI-NTRT PRODUCE Front-strcet mer
hants and other handlers of farm produce
rte been mott' Interested In tho past week
"n watching the toboggan elide in the egg
market. Prices have tumbled at the rate of
a cent a day. and the bottom is apparently- not
yet In sight. Large receipts and the refusal
of local, buyers to enter the market axe the
cause of the trouble. Some relief was bad
yesterday by tho discovery of a shipping out
let, which may yet cause the tide to turn.
The poultry market, as Is usual when eggs
are low. Is tending to a higher range of values.
Farmers are keeping their egg producers at
home, and consequently there Is a shortage
of good chickens.
Butter Is quoted steady to firm at former
prices. Receipts of both butter and cream are
Increasing, but there is no enlargement in the
demand. The unusual slowness of the butter
trade this yfar Is attributed by many dealers
to the high price of other commodities and the
rapid advance in rents.
There U a good local and California demand
for fancy potatoes, but common stock, wbleb
has become more plentiful. Is hard to more.
Onions are quoted strong.
Receipts of dressed veal In the past week
have been heavier, which has caused the mar
ket to sag somewhat. Pork, on the other band,
remains very firm, owing to light arrivals.

"ITS PRINCIPLES AHE RIGHT"
Rev. T. L. Elict Writes on the Work
of City Board of Charities.
PORTLAND. Feb. 22. (To the Editor.)
Tour columns are open to complaints against
the policy and management of lb City
Board f Charities; and I am sure will be
equally hospitable to the other side. This Is
shown by your publication of the full state
ment of the president in yesterday's Issue.
I writo mainly to express the hope that all
subscribers to the work of the board, and
all others who are falrmlndcd will read
that statement In its entirety. It Is to b
feared that the critics and malcontents will
not take the time to do so, and that for
too many of your readers the loose general
charges or a few specific cases of alleged
misjudgement or of dlsgruntlement. will be
allowed to count too heavily against both
tbe character of the faithful offlolale. and
their equally specific , disproofs disproofs
which are ready at hand for any one who
will hear what the office has to say.
For the rest. 1 simply wish to give my
individual judgment, and testimony, for
Just no more and no less than It Is worth,
to-wit: That the principles upon which the
work of the board are conducted are the
rteht ones; that there is no greater fallacy
than th old motto, "Better help ten un
deserving cases of charity than neglect or
turn away one deserving case," for the sim
ple reason that careless almsgiving Is a
fountain-head of pauperism and destroys
the fiber of manliness; and that the cost of
investigating the tn cai.es and testing their
unworthines or f.abblness, is wholly Justi
fied, though It cannot be put to the credit
Of the "disbursement for charily," I will add
r-ihat after an experience of teveral years as
r member of the board, and since I have re
tired from the board. I am sttlsfled that Its
funds are conscientiously expended, end that
Its officers and management are exception
ally qualified for their work. It would be lit
tle short of a public calamity to break
down the chief Instrumentality which has
been created In this community against the
unwise dispensing of charity. And. more
over, I venture to say that more true and
helpful sympathy and Just aid has been fur
nished from the City Board, or by Its ad
vice, when deserving cases arc found, than
from any other source, and perhaps all
sources together In Portland. Mistakes may
have been made, but let tnem be put down,
not to sloth or hard-heartedness. They
rather belong to a zeal for Justice and true
charity: and to the desire that nothing of
a trust committed to their hands shall be
violated. J believe that a canvass of the
principal subscribers will indorse the views
here presented. T. L. ELIOT.
WILL SELLW00D GET MLLS?
Citizen Says Woolen Manufacturing
Plant Should Be Encouraged.
SELLWOOD, Or.. Feb. 22. (To the Edi
tor.) Being & citizen and resident of Port
land I have Tyatched with some little In
terest the proceedings In general of the
locating of the proposed woolen mills at
Eellwood.
Here Is a worthy enterprise that comes
to us without the asking of a dollar In the
way of subsidy, with $60,000 Eastern capi
tal, and. as I understand It. with contracts
for goods for all It can manufacture, from
one Eastern house. The manager of the
enterprise la a well-known manufacturer,
and for the pest six years hae made, a divi
dend of 18 to 20 per cent operating upon
the one class of goods referred to.
Here, with pure water, free water power,
with electric cars passing, also the South
ern Pacific, and the central location as to
shipping, the enterprise should do us
as well or better. The managers have al
ready acquired the old Portland Woolen
Mill site, and If tbe people of Sellwood and
Portland will subscrlbo $35,000 of the
stock this enterprise will locate at Sellwood
permanently. I. for one. have subscribed
all I can. and I am pleased to see that
Messrs. NIckum and Mowery have each
taken $5000 In stock, and some of the la
dies have already subscribed.
The business men, as well as the real
estate men. should join hands and make
a strong pull to get the amount of stock
taken. It means a big help to all concerned
the employment of 150 hands, work for our
girls and boys, and the general upbuilding
of this section of Portland.
Nearly every newspaper I pick' up I ses
there Is abundance of money In Port
land to organize new corporations pending
the Lewis and Clark Fair on the "get-rich-qulck
plan." Now let us first of all
locate this woolen mill here, and, once lo
cated, it will be a permanent and prosper
ous business long after the Lewis and Clark
Fair has come and gone. CITIZEN.

FLEET TOO SMALL
Growing Traffic Crowds Port
- land & Asiatic Steamers.
WILL SECURE ANOTHER SHIP
Full Cargoes Assured for Liners a
Long Way Ahead Big Tobacco
Shipment for Arabia Move
ments In Harbor.
Westbound traffic on the Portland &
Asiatic Line ia Increasing: at a rapid rate,
and it is found that a steamer sailing
every three -weeks is not enough for the
growing business. It wan thought that
when the Hnmburc-American vessels re
placed the Indra steamers the Improved
servlco would be sufficient for a long- time,
but It lias been found to he Inadequate.
Negotiations are understood to be under
way now or the chartering- of an extra
steamer to sail some time next month.
All tho space on tho Numantia, the next
steamer to xali from Portland, ha3 been
engaged, and enough cargo is in sight for
the Arabia to insure her a full cargo.
The largest item on the Numantia's
manifest will be flour, of which there will
be 45.000 barrels. Tho steamer will also
carry 1500 bales or cotton and a quantity
of Iron and machinery. She is duo next
Saturday. A shipment of WO hogsheads of
leaf tobacco has been made from Virginia,
and will arrive herQ in time to be trans
ferred to the Arabia, which should be hero
by March 18. It Is probable that 250 more
hogsheads will t added to the shipment,
as space for that quantity has been en
gaged on the vessel. This tobacco will
I comprise almost half of the Arabia's
cargo.
HOLIDAY ON THE WATER-FRONT
More Activity Yesterday in the
Lower Harbor.
Yesterday was observed as a holiday
along most of the waterfront, the steamer
Nome City, taking lumber at Inman.
Poulsen & Co.'s mill, being the only deep
water vessel working. The next big lum
ber carrier to get away will be tho Ger
man ship Carl, which "will complete her
cargo today, and will leave down the river
Saturday, bound for Taku.
There was more activity In the lower
harbor than here, two steamers sailing
and a steamer and two schooners making
port. The departures were the Roanoke,
for Coos Bay. "Eureka. San Francisco and
Port Los Angeles, and the Aurclla, for
San Francisco. The steamer Cascade, of
Taylor. Young &. Co.'s Line, crossed in
early In the afternoon, followed later by
the schooners Polaris and Andy Mshony.
from San Pedro, both of which arc com
ing here for lumber. A ship and a
schooner were sighted off the mouth of
the river at nightfall, the former probably
being the British ship Ionsdale, from
Port Los Angeles.
SHE RACES AGAINST TIME
But Steamer Forest Brook Loses Her
Charter by Margin of Two Days.
The British steamship Forest Brook ar
rived at Seattle at 2 o'clock yesterday
morning, and by the narrow margin of
two hours lost her charter, which expired
at midnight. She reached Port Townsend
from tho Orient ojdv lSmlimtea before
sundown, "and" Tieroffi?c1rs'"Yohgra!tulated
themselves that In the race against time
they had saved the charter, as had they
made that port 15 minutes later, the ship
would have been forced, under the quar
antine rules, to have anchored until sun
rise the following morning. On reaching
Port Townpcnd, her customs, quarantine
and immigration affairs were speedily at
tended to. and at 6:30 P. M. the vessel
headed for Seattle, black smoke pouring
from her funnels. It was all of no avail,
however, as she failed to reach the Puget
Sound port by the specified time.
Tho Forest Brook Is a Eritish steamer
of 1720 tons. She carried a cargo of case
oil from Batoum. on the Black Sea, com
ing through the Suez Canal to Moji.
Japan. Being slow, the vessel had a
strenuous time on her long voyage of 32
days from Mojl across the Pacific, en
deavoring to reach port before the expira
tion of her charter.
AT EXPENSE OF GOVERNMENT
Hulk of Schooner Challenger Will Be
Removed rrom Willapa Say.
SOUTH BEND. Wash.. Feb. 22. (Spe
cial.) United States Engineer Carpenter
arrived here this evening ?nd took charge
of tho hulk of tho schooner Challenger,
which came In here on fire last fall with
a cargo of lime and was sunk In the Wil
lapa Rlvr in front of the city and right
In the channel. The schooner has been
a menace to navigation ever since, but
too owners declined to take her out. It
will be done at Government expense and
bids will be asked for.
The oystermcn have feared that the re
lease of such a quantity of lime in the
water at once might Injure the oysters at
the mouth of the river, but it is believed
that the volume of water is too great and
that the Hmo will be too widely diffused
before It reaches the beds to have any
effect.
St. Elmo's Fire.
The British bark Inveramsay. which
arrived at Vancouver, B. C. recently
from Antwerp, had an unusual experience
during her voyage. One night In a heavy
thunder storm which was encountered
while off the River Plata the ship was
suddenly enveloped with th peculiar
phenomenon known ah St. Elmo's fire.
For a few moments every mast, yard and
rope on the ship stood out In startling
fiery outline agaln&t the blackness of the
tropical sky. Though exceedingly bril
liant, the fire has no power to burn, and
03 suddenly aa the light had come It dis
appeared. Takes Place of M. S. Dollar.
The Norwegian steamer Thode Fage
lund, now at Hong Kong, has been char
tered -by the Dollar Steamship Company
to bring a cargo of merchandise and sul
phur from the Asiatic coast. The steamer
Is to take the place of the M. 8. Dollar
in the trade across the Pacific. The crew
of the M. S. Dollar, recently captured by
the Japanese while bound to Vladivostok
with a cargo of hay and grain, has been
released by the Japanese and Is expected
soon to arrive on this Coast on one of
the Oriental liners.
Making Use of Esquimalt.
The masters of steamships entering at
Victoria, are taking advantage of the
abandonment of E3quiraalt by the Britlah
navy. Since the number of war vessels
stationed at the navy-yard was reduced
and the great majority of the fleet sent
to other waters. ahlp3 of the merchant
marine have not been slow In adapting
the harbor for their own purposes.

NORFOLK. Va.. Feb. 22.-The crew of
the United State collier Abarenda. at

TO SLAKE TILLAMOOK'S THIRST
Latest of "Commercial Clubs" to Re
lieve Towns That Are Dry.
To defeat the prohibition lav.-, citizens
of towns which were voted dry are start
ing commercial clubs, in which member
ship Is solicited by the promoters of men
known to favor indulgence in an occa
sional high-ball. Tbe argument advanced
In favor of such clubs Is that everything
used Is a Joint purchase, owned equally
by all members, and that the prohibition
law doe3 not prohibit a man from drink
ing his own liquor. A woll-known attor
ney has been kept busy of late preparing
articles of incorporation for such clubs.
The latest request he has received of this
nature Is for the necessary documents for
a commercial club at Tillamook, which I3
promised a large membership roll.
