19 THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11; 1915. SHIP RELIEF DENIED Senator Chamberlain Declines to Accede to Chamber's Wish. BILL ADMITTED MAKESHIFT Oregon Representative In t'pper llonrt Deaf I'j Pica for l.mcr 4cm Pleasure Allowing TTm; of Foreign Bottoms. Although i.i his letters to' th Port land Chamber uf Commerce Senator c'harabrlain declared that he believed h ship pun-haeft bill before the Con stress 'simply a makeshift" and ex pressed his Jubt that it would "give muoh relief to producers and cosifitim era. he declined to consider the re quest of tho Portland Chamber of Com merce for an emergency bill Allowing shipment of Kood between Atlantic ud Pacific ports in foreign bottoms. The Chamber nlo registered It oppo sition to tho ship purchase bill, but Senator Chamberlain In a letter re ceived here yesterdaj- declared that he intended to support the bill. The. blame for conditions be placed upon "crudo navigation laws." which, lie declared, "were gotten up not to advance shipping interests, but to ad vance the, interests of shipping trusts and monopolies. "1 think next session," he wrote. "I will formulate a bill having for its puroose the creation of a commission to look into the, matter and to report lo Concress ou a general revision of tiie laws on the subject." in response to an urgent telegram sent In reply to his letter asking that the emergency bill providing for ship ment in foreign bottoms be introduced, he telegraphed back: "Your telegram opens a wide field for controversy. In my judgment it will not be possible to get Congress to net favorably on the -suggestion contained In the telegram." l.p to date all Senator Chamber lain has promised will be the for mulation of a bill for the next session. to provide a commission to investigate and report on a revision of the navi gation laws. In the meantime he fa vors the ship purchasing bill, which he holds to be a makeshift and not probable to bring about material relief for shippers, producers or consumers. The original letter of the Chamber of t ommerce, which brought about flis messages stating his position, follows "Our organization wishes to register its opposition to present ship purchas ing bill, but advocates the change In th shipping laws which will enable citizens of I nited States profitably to enter into the purchase, construction and operation of .ships. Also, we ask for an emergency hill from year to year allowing foreign bottoms to carry freight between the Atlantic and Pa cific coasts, being impossible at pres ent to get tonnage, which Is working a great hardship. Also, reiterating ur former recommendation of ap pointment of a commission of compe tent men to e-tnmine into and thor oughly revise shipping laws."

Th rorSar.d Flourins- Mills Company ts cnlar;nr Its field, of operations by frolnsr after trade on the Atlantic sea board. II. R. Spencer, who has bean in the local office for many years, has started for New York to become man ager of the Eastern office, which win be opened there immediately on his arrival. Mr. Spencer visited the Eastern states last Fall to investigate the possi bilities, and liis favorable report caused tire company's decision to establish an Eastern branch. The, purpose is to sell Oregon flour In competition with the Eastern article. This, It has been found, can be done satisfactorily, as the Panama Canal af fords a means or quick transportation at a low rate of freight. The company Intends to go after the domestlo rather than, the foreign trade of New York. For a population of 20, 000.000 in that section a. great quantity of soft wheat flour, as well aa hard wheat flour, must be provided. The supply of soft wheat In tha Eastern states Is not eitenslve, and the stocks rs usually exhausted by the first of the year. This, It is believed, will make an opening for the Pacific; Northwest ern product, and It is thought large trade In Oregon flour can be built up there. t , Mr. Spencer is one of the best-known flour men here, and Is considered well qualified to build up the company'e business in Its new field. APPLEMOVEMENTSTEADY AVI1NTKB G'O.NSI'MPTIOX IS AT GOOD RATK, Cold Sre Holdlncs Are Hnvjr, lint Mar Be AV.rkcd Oft -VltB-ut !.. WASH1NOTOX. Feb. 10. Although dealr teurally report that the nmiuy demand for opplei did not prove to be aa expected, the reiult ot Investigations con duLterf tv the otiica ot niaikota ot tno Inltea Slates Uepartment of Agriculture would Indicate that the movement of culd storane apples durlne the month of Deccm br was satisfactory under the conditions. Three hundred and sir firms reported for Januiry I. ot which number 231 reported for December 1. It the average condition for th.s number of storages situated in all parts of the country Is a criterion, approx imately 1 per cent of the total cold-storas .nt,4in iw,mr 1 were marketed prior to January 1. The decrease In barrel holdings was much Kreater man tor analyzing- the movement, it is seen that dur ing tho month of December 1 per cent of barreled apples were moved aa against 4.i per cent of boxes. The percentage ot movement In December for box apples was small, but It is to be re membered that large quantities ot thla pa.k are held in common storage in the box apple producing areas, aud that box apples placed in cold storage under conditions ex isting thla )r were held largely for the later Winter markets. Remembering that cold-storage apples met with heavy competition in the distribu tion of common storage stock, it is apparent that the movement ot barreled r.pples In December, as Indicated by the above re capitulation, was liberal. It being under stood that common storage apples are chieflv marketed prior to January 1, and that the entire cotnmon-storase holdings as a rule are out of the way by February 1 those Interested In the cold-storago deal should not be discouraged in so far as the future la concerned. This does not mean that high prices can be expected, but rather that th fruit ought to move gradual!- to meet the heavy demand which has been created durinj the past few months as a result of bountiful supply and low prices. W itn common-storage apples out of the way. the demand for cold-storage stock will increase proportionately. . , The cold-storago holdings of apples are admittedly large, and a regular vlKor"'' movement tnrouguoui season may bo necessary to prevent disaster in the Spring. Growers and dealers are urged neither to dump their holdings nor to stand for arbitrarily high prices. Panicky selling usually means grid, dui an .uu - should seek to move old-storage apples gradually and with such rapldiiy as the market allows, so that the deal may be wound up in relatively good shape.

The big btorm in California Is the cause of high vegetable prices in all the markets of the Coast. It Is almost Impossible, be cause of the rain, to make shipments from the Southern state, and supplies In some lines here are at low ebb. Celery is prac tically off the market. A car was due yes terday, but will not arrive until this morn ing. It will sell at $4 a crate. The head lettuce market is strong and 15 cents higher at l.S."i2 a crate. A fur ther advance In this line is In sight. Local dealers also find it difficult to get a necessary supply of oranges, and no relief in this respect can be looked for until tho weather in California becomes more favor able. In the meantime, the orange market is very firm. Winter Killed Grain at Cislrkhton. CLARK3TON, Wash., Feb. lO. (Special.) Becaase of tho dryness and the recent freezing ot the soil, prospects for a good wheat crop in this section of the state are the poorest they have been since the dry 5P11 of Ii03. in the opinion of State Grain Inspector Jarboe. Many farmers have al ready purchased seed for resceding their Winter acreage In the Spring. They beliere their crops have been killed by the lack ol moisture that was prevented from entering the earth by the freese-up this season. These same reports also come from Eastern Oregoa and Northern Idaho point. The only pos sible relief Is in the snow that at present covers the fields. , Should this thaw out the soil, melt and penetrate the ground, much of the Winter wheat would be saved Three weeks before the first snowfall thlt saoa the fields were frozen unusually deep, and when the snow melted the moisture ran off without going Into -the ground. Hop Acreage to Be Increased. BURN A VISTA. Or., Feb. 10. fSpaciaL) Hopgrowers iu the Lwcklamute Valley are preparing to increase the acreage during the coming season. Old fields, heretofore used as grain fields and found to be unprofitable for sucb crops, wWl be converted into nop yards. New yards will ba set In the low lands of the Luckiamute River, where the water rises high In the Winter. During the season of 1914. the -crop was lesa than In previous years, while the qual ity was declared to be exceptionally high. The entire crop now has been sold. Ninety Per Cent Lewistoo Crop Sold. LEWISTON, Idaho, Feb. 10. (Special.) Grain . deal era figure that 00 per cent of the wheat crop of 1914 is in the hands of the dealers. Considerable barley la still held by farmers, although much was sold bn the recent bulge. The acreage In the Lewis- ton territory will he largely wheat this year and wll) bo larger than ever before. Owing to the -high prices prevailing for wheat con siderable corn will he planted on Summer fallow, which will furnish cheaper feed for hogs. Several of the larger farmers are building silos to handle the corn fodder. No Snap te Egg; Trade. Receipts of eggs were much lighter yes terday, but there was no snap to the iriir- ket and the undertone continued weak Prices were unchanged. Poultry wes in fair supply. Hens sold readily at firm prices, but geese and tur keys were not wanted. Country dressed meats were firm. There were no changes in the dairy pro duce markets. Raw Sugar Slumps In East No change was announced In refined sugar prices yesterday. At Now York the market reversed Its recent course and raws broke sharply, declining So points.
