Fji route tonnage Is somewhat slow in reporting, so that it is Improbable there will be much change over the total hipped since October 1. An Increase will be shown, however. In the grain and flour movement, so that the falling oft In lumber will not materially affect total export valuations. CAKGO DAMAGE IS MAGNIFIED j..inin n Hark Hoche Seems to Have Caused Utile Ix.ss. Wr..n hatches were yesterday re moved aboard the French bark Hoche, preparatory to beginning the discharge of her cargo at coiumoia mju -a . It was found that previous reports re warding damage had been decidedly magnified. There was found only one "barrel of plaster with the head broken. On the way from Europe the cargo shifted and had to be restowed. whl gave rise to rumors that the consign ments had surrered saaiy. Captain Le Bcaupln. of the French tiark Rabin Chevaye. which anchored -vesterdav In the stream, evinced dls inclination to discuss details of his rn.in. from London, except than -to characterise the Journey as an "or iinarr one." He declined to make known whether any gear had been car ried awav in storms or whether he arrived with less canvas than when ke Mlled. and said, when pressed, that lie was not a master ot Knglish. The cargo of the Babtn Chevaye. consisting r l.S:4 barrels of cement, has been old. Half of It Is consigned to Notting ham Co.. and the remainder will be delivered to local contractors. While foreign cement has suffered to an ex tent because of being- in competition on the Coast with the California prod uct, it Is said that prices have been lowered by the producers to an extent that has caused it to move more read ily. The fact It is shipped In barrels makes It more desirable for Winter use. The California cement Is for warded in sacks and has virtually no protection from the weather. The Babln Chevaye is under charter to the Northwestern Warehouse Company to load wheat outward. MIXERIC IS FOR AUSTRALIA Velr w Vessel Is Not Coming and Rrdhlll Is Released. Portland people will not be In a posi tion to Inspect the new steamer Min nie, ot the Weir line, which was to have loaded at Eureka and this port with lumber for Calcutta, as Water Iiouse & Co. have substituted the ves sel for the British steamer Croydon. In the Australia mall service. For that reason the new carrier will take on rargo at Taoma for Australia. A later vessel, the Uucerlc. was completed re cently and sailed from Kurope last week for the Coast. The Hedhill. which Is loading; at St. Johns and will all for Seattle to take on flour and sreneral cargo In time to leave for the Orient October IS, is to be released ty the Waterhouse Interests after her present voyage. Her place will be taken by one of the new carriers. It was reported yesterday that the Norwegian steamer Elr. which left bere early In July with a lumber cargo for the Far East, had been chartered for another cargo and would load before January 1. The Elr was taken by the American Trading Company, for Aus tralia loading, on time charter at a rate of ISSS a month. When the Knight of the Garter sails she will carry back to the Orient a Japanese stowaway who was discovered on the craft when she ar rived here. The Nipponese has been cared for at the County Jail, where he as gained many pounds. He fails to resemble the emaciated specimen who emerged from his hiding place In the hold. BLUTR HAS A UST OF 561 Captain Kidston Likens Steerage Croud to Departing Regiment. Chivalry on the part of local officers of the Sttn Krancisco A Portland St cam -ghfp Company, in permitting; women to occupy staterooms In company with friend, as several parties of two or more made tho trip, prevented Captain Kidston from taking; a record load on the big steamer Feaver yesterday, but as he Ordered the lines cast off from A In worth dock the passenger list, including; Astoria reservations, numbered 54.

Glenalvon Rushed to Start Wheat. Rush orders were yesterday Issued for lining; the British ship Glenalvon. which has finished discharging coal brought from Newcastle. A crew will be started In one hold today so that by noon Monday she can begin taking wheat at Montgomery dock No. 2.

The Mackinaw is to sail October li and the George vl Fenwlck October SI. It Is undcrstool that the firm Is In the field for addl tional vessels.

Any hope entertained by shippers that the move of the Port of Portland Com mission Thursday, In eliminating- the 10 cent tariff on lumber vessels being; towed from one berth to another on the Colum bia River, might Include the rate charged from Portland to Tongue Point, were shattered yesterday by Superintendent Harry Campion, who said that the tariff would not be disturbed.

Grapes, especially Tokays, are doing their best to hold their own; but their glory will soon be over, and the apple will have no rival. This is as it should be. Did not the very word "apple" originally signify fruit in gen eralany other fruit than apple being denoted by a particular suffix? Study Welsh, If you doubt it. Or, as a recent writer has said: "Regard an unsophisti cated man in the act of eating an apple. You cannot fall to observe that some thing more than mere satisfying of ap petite is in progress. As he vigorously munches the fragrant and delicious fruit, his mind and his soul are carried back, unconsciously, to more primitive times. and he becomes almost barbaric" Any one who wishes to study, by this means. the soul of primitive man, may do so at comparatively small expense; for boxes of excellent Spltxenbergs and Northern Spies are available at $1.75 to $2. There is good supply of Baldwins, Greenings. Kings, Jonathans and others at prices ranging from $1 to $2.25 a box. Among the grapes. Tokays at 30 cents a basket. and Oregon Concords, at 20 to SO cents. are still abundant. The late-staying Cornlchons are beginning to come in, and Black Hamburgs, Oregon Muscats and Magaras are still to be had, at from 20 to 36 cents a basket. Pears are no longer plentiful, but the Fall Butter pears are now available. Sal- way peaches linger, at 10 cents a dozen, and a few melons are still to be seen. Huckleberries cost 12V4 cents a pound, and cranberries 10 to 15 cents a quart. Red bananas are Inviting at 40 cents, and yellow bananas at 20 cents a dozen. Per. Simmons and pineapples at 15 to 30 cents each are also among the available fruits. The new nuts are much in evidence and of excellent quality. Chestnuts cost 20 to 25 cents, and other varieties about 30 cents a pound. Splendid celery is now to be had at 5 to 10 cents a bunch. Peppers are still plentiful at 5 to 10 cents a pound and are particularly inviting at this sea son. Tomatoes can be had three pounds for 10 cents, and corn at 20 to 25 cents dozen. Egg plant and Summer squash are both good and cheap Just now. The same may be said of sweet potatoes at four pounds for 15 cents. -Beans are get ting scarce, but cauliflower and other members of the cabbage family savoy. kohl rabi, Brussels sprouts, white cab bage and red. are all of Increasing Im portance and slightly decreasing price. In the fish market there Is hardly so great a variety as usual. Crabs are In again, and cost US to 25 cents each. Sal mon and halibut sell at 10 to 12V& cents pound, and baby salmon 15 to 20 cents. Tom cod. smelt, perch and black cod all cost about 10 cents a pound. A few fresh herrings are available at about the same price. Clams have been rather scarce of late, but now seem to be coming in more freely. Hard shells cost 5 cents a pound and razor clams i cents a dozen. Poultry and meat prices remain about the same, showing a tendency to Increase rather than to decline. The best eggs sell at 40 cents a dozen, and the best butter at S5 cents a roll. BOYS' MEETINGS TO BEGIN T. M. C. A. Will Hold Services In Several Parts of City. Five or six meetings for boys are to be conducted every Sunday afternoon throughout the Winter by the boys' de partment of the Portland Young Men's Christian Association. These meetings will be held in suburbs and residence districts In response to requests that have already been made and others that are expected. The first of these meetings will be held In about a month. Sessions will probably be conducted at the same hour each Sunday afternoon in bunnyslde. Sellwood, llount Scott, the Association building: and elsewhere. Speakers will be secured to rive addresses In all these places on consecutive Sundays, and when one set of speakers has completed the circuit, a union meeting; will be held, probably In one of the large cen tral churches. The plan was followed by the Y. M. C. A. four years ago, and Is the most successful method of con ducting Sunday meetings for boys that has been tried. The regular men's meeting: In the T. M. C. A. auditorium will be held to- CATARRH A SYSTEMIC BLCOD DISEASE Catarrh is not merely aa affection of the mttcou3 membranes ; it is a deep-seated blood disease in which the entire circulation and greater part of the system are involved. It is more commonly manifested in the head, nose and throat, because of the sensi tive nature of these membranes, and also because they are more easily reached by irritating .influences from the outside. The symptoms of Ca tarrh, such as a tight feeling in the head, nose stopped up, throat clogged and dry, hacking cough, etc., show that the tiny blood vessels of the mu cous membranes are badly congested and inflamed from the impurities in the circulation. To cure Catarrh per manently the blood must be purified and the system cleansed ot all un healthy matter. Nothing equals S. S. S. for this purpose. It attacks tne disease at its head, -goes down to the bottom of the trouble and makes a complete and lasting cure by PURIFYING the blood. Then the inflamed membranes begin to heal, the head is cleared, breathing becomes natural and easy, the throat is no longer clogged, and every un pleasant symptom of the disease dis appears. S. S. S. is the greatest of all blood purifiers, and for this reason is the most certain cure for Catarrh. Book on Catarrh and medical advice free to all who write. THE SWIFX SPECIFIC CO., Atlanta, 8a. morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. It will be addressed by Dr. Benjamin Young, on the subject "Why I Believe." Spe cial music will be provided. CONTRACTORS GET MONEY Northwest Bridge Works Paid All but $2000 by City. The installment of $26,400 due the North west Bridge Works for construction of the Twenty-eighth-street bridge over Sul livan's Gulch was ordered paid by the Executive Board at ita regular session yesterday afternoon.
