TRADE HERE ASKED
Eastern Asiatic Steamship
Company Agent Inspects.
NEW LINE IS IN VIEW
Otto Jclstrap, of Copenhagen, Trie
for Full Cargoes Shipper Favor
Serrlcw to Wrt Coast, but
Cant Promise Big Freight.
In the lt few days Portlna export
ers hare been solicited by Otto Jelif rap,
ff Copenhagen, rvnmork. representing
the Kastern Asiatic Steamship Com
pany. to outline what cariro they would
pledge for shipment from Portland to
the Went Coast and the Cnlted Kingdom
In event a regular line of teamtn la
established. Mr. Jelstrap Is said to
hire sought full loads for every vessel,
hat shippers would not puarantee such
heavy patronage and he has proceeded
to Seattle to ascertain what Induce
ments will he offered there.
Portland has no direct service to the
West Coast and exporters are deslroua
of obtaining facilities with which to
reach that market. If the Eastern
Asiatic Company places steamers In op
eration from Pusrrt Sound and this port,
it la believed that plenty of cargo can
be contracted. There would be regular
lota of wheat available, parcels of lum
ber and at times canned Roods and oth
er commodities mlKht be handled once
the Wert Coast trade Is reopened.
Mr. Jelstrap has been spent for the
line at Singapore for five years and Is
familiar with the class of carsro floated
from the Pacific Coast. He has prom
ised that he will make an extended re
port to his principals covering prospects
here, harbor facilities, channel condi
tions and other details.
One point discussed was that of ob
taining coal for the steamers and It
may result In more activity being; dis
placed In the proposal to erect bunkers
nt Astoria under the supervision of the
newly-farmed Port of Astoria. At the
same time, as the vessels would come
from Europe with camo for Pan Pedro
and Pan Francisco, fuel could do loaaeu
In the south for the voyage.

day and said that owing to the fact
the new Harrlman bridge spans had
been erected on both sides of the draw
piers. It was Imperative for the
tenders on the Steel bridge to clear
the draw and open It as soon as pos
sible after the stsmal is given by a
steamer passing through the Burnslde
strcet bridge, because with the cur
rent running In the river It Is diffi
cult to check the headway. Another
point made Is that the draw piers of
the new bridge are not lighted proper
ly, the red lanterns shown being too
small to be seen by pilots until but a
short distance away.

thousand shares, there were indications of
distress amunr the bears and buying from
that quarter undoubtedly strengthened the
list temporarily.
Ex-President Roosevelt's utterances on the
trust question, also, were referred to as
having stimulated the market. His remarks
concerning the Government's suit against
the United Ftates Steel Corporation, in par
ticular, were noted because of the pro

Weak at Opening and Closing With
, Flurry by Shorts In Middle
of Session.
CHICAOO. Nov. IT. Wblpsawed specula
tors In wheat today laid the blame for their
troubles to contradictory dispatches about
weather conditions In Argentina. After a
day of nervous fluctuation, wheat closed ,ln
ragged fashion, varying from 4e lower t
40 advance. Corn finished l-loo to 40
down, oats unchanged to Sc up and hog
products from 2 4 134c decline to S cents
advance.
it waa an unsatisfactory day all around
In the wheat pit. At times It was as hard
to sell as at other times to buy. Weakness
came In evidence near the opening and the
close. , Between the periods, the shorts
caused a flurry on cables news of wind,
rain and hall In portions of Argentina,
Other dlsp&tohea declared the conditions
fine, just the sort needed. Near the close
the market was unsettled. During the ses'
slon May ranged from 31 to 11.004, and
closed 4 O40 down to 31.00; 0 1.004.
A forecast of cold weather weakened the
props under corn. May swung between
64 4o and 664c closing Ho net lower, but
steady, at 65o even. Cash grades were In
limited supply. No. 2 yellow was quoted at
104c for old.
Buying gave strength to oats. Top and
bottom figures touched by May proved to
be BOSe and BO40, with the close 604 0
B04c. lust ths same aa last night.
Provisions paralleled wheat with an In
terval of high values, but early and late
suffered some selling by packers. At the
last gong work showed a decline or 1047
124c lard was unchanged to 24c off and
ribs at an advance of 2 4e to 5c.

In offering my services to the afflicted I am giving you
the BEST that can be had anywhere. My reputation and

my ability, honesty and Integrity and should be sufficient
to convince ths most skeptical that 1 am the FOREMOST

leal attention. I have the ability and can give you this
service. I have always charged a very reasonable fee. so that my services may
be obtained by any man who slncerly desires to be cured. I make no mis
leading statements, false promises or unbusinesslike propositions. I would like
to have you for a patiant if you will 00 me to me on a strictly professional ba

one treatment In such a satisfactory
way, pain ceases, swelling subsides, a
healthy circulation la rapidly re-established.
Instead of the depressing condi
tions; I guarantee you a cure to stay
cured or refund the money.
KIDNEY AND BLADDFK
With these diseases you may have
more complications than are presented
by any other disease. By my
searching Illumination of the bladder I
determine accurately the disease and
by microscopic examination and urin
alysis I make doubly sura the condition
of the kidneys, thus laying foundations
tor sclentlflo treatment. ,
SPECIFIC BLOOD POISON.
Sclentlflo treatment only should be
used In combating this loathesome dis
ease. I cure Blood Poison by the new
German Remedy which I Introduce di
rectly Into the blood, purifying It, neu
tralizing it and expelling poison from
he system. New blood thus formed
upplKis and rebuilds the tissues In such
a way that the patient recovers his
normal state of health, strength and
soundness. .

nlze the shipping master and signed
the men without paying; the fees.
Chairman Canons;, of the Commis
sion, said yesterday that If the law Is
to be upheld, only forelgm Consuls and
regularly appointed shipping; masters
have the power to sign men and the
low fee of 110 was provided so that the
business could be regulated. On the
other hand If captains are to be per
mitted to sign men there Is little In
centive for shipping masters to pay the
annual license.
During the last three years. 71 deaths
were caused In England by ammonia, S3 of
which wero accidents and 88 suicides. Here
after every bottle In which ammonia Is
sold must be labeled with the words "not
to be taken." In addition to the word
"poisonous."
HOW TO CURE
BLOOD POISON
Contagions Blood Poison is a viru
lent germ, and like most other bacte
rial organisms is very diffcult to kill
or destroy within the 6ystem. It
would therefore be useless to endeavor
to cure the disease with some strong
medicine intended to destroy the dis
eased blood cells and virus. The
proper way the only way is to
REMOVE the germs and poisons from
the blood by purifying the circulation.
Thousands have cured themselves of
this powerful disease by the tise of
S. S. S., the greatest of all vegetable
blood purifiers. Thjs is a medicine
of unquestioned ability in the treat
ment of Contagious Blood Poison.
For more than forty years it has been
prepared and sold as a cure for this
trouble, and not only its efficacy, but
the fact that it does not contain a par
ticle of mineral, or other harmful
drug, should be an inducement to any
Contagious Blood Poison sufferer to
begin its use. S. S. S. goes right
down into the circulation, and re
moves every trace of the destructive
virus. It heals all sores, stops falling
hair, and by cleansing and enriching
the blood, soon clears the body of
every symptom. S. S. S. cures to
stay cured; there is no future breaking
out of the disease. Home Treatment
book and any medical advice free.
&. S. S. is sold at drug stores.

specialists not excepted, are attempt
ing to overcome It by methods that
have been In constant use and have
always failed for half a century. They
dose the system with powerful stimu
lants and tonics, calculated to restore
nervous force or strength that Is not
and never has been lacking, with the
result that tha functions are tempo
rarily excited to the positive detriment
cf the patient. Weakness is only a
symptom rssultlng from many local
conditions and Is curable by local
treatment only, without the giving of
a single Internal dose, which demon
strates the absolute accuracy of my
understanding and treatment of this
disorder. In years I have not met
with a single failure and I have entire
confidence In my ability to cure all
cases that come to me for treatment.
I am equally certain that no treatment
other than that which I have perfect
ed can completely and permanently
rertore strength and vigor.
NO MONEY REQUIRED TO COM
MENCE TREATMENT. Many patients
have no confidence In their doctor, be
cause he demands pay before a cure
haa been effected and there are many
who have been misinformed about
helr condition or through unsuccessful
treatment have become skeptical and
think there Is no cure for them. I
want an opportunity to treat such
men. It makes no difference about
the financial part, as I accept pay for
my services as benefits are derived;
when I am satisfied the patient is re
liable. Healthy Is capital at Interest,
I will prov my ability to cure before
asking pay for my services.
