EARLY CARGO IS DESIRED Etranss & Co. Obtain Vessel and Also Bark Spring-bank, According to Keport Colon Is Getting Ready to Work Here. Registering another drop In grain freights is the engagement of the Brit ish steamer Veturia, which was taken by Strauss & Co. at 82s 6d, for August September loading. Previous fixtures of steam tonnage were done at 90 shillings. It was indicated in cables re ceived last week that there was a weakness in freights, and 85 shillings was talked of for steamers and 80 shillings for sailers. The Veturia. which sailed from Nor folk June 20 with a cargo of Navy coal for San Diego, is a large carrier and has been offered for Pacific Coast load ing for some time, recently being under firm offer here at 82s 6d. but her own ers were desirous of getting a cargo without delay, and specified lay days to begin August 1. Charter In Confirmed. It is understood that Strauss & Co. will load her at San Francisco with barley, though the Portland office of that firm has not been so advised. Her charter is said to have been made two days ago, and was confirmed in cables arriving yesterday. The vessel belongs to the same flag as the British tramp Verdun, on the way to Portland to load new crop wheat, and is 424 feet long, 66 feet beam and 28.1 feet depth of hold. She Is of 3529 tons net register, and her size Is one feature that made her unde sirable for early loading here. The Strauss interests are also said to have taken the Norwegian bark Sprlngbank recently at 85 shillings for grain, No-ember-December loading. Grain Ship Getting Ready. One lone grain ship getting ready to work here is the steamer Colon, which coaled yesterday at the Pacific Coast bunkers. Her bunkers were not filled rapidly, owing to a crankiness exhibited by the ship, so that when considerable coal was sent Into bunkers on one side she had to bo turned to fill the others to overcome a list. J. Lasa, manager of the American Mexican Steamship Company, owning the vessel; is in the city in connection with her loading, she being consigned to M. H. Houser. The same firm con trols the Gen. y Pesquerlra, which ar rived at Sydney June 19 with a cargo loaded here by Mr. Houser. The com pany has the steamer Balboa out of commission at San Francisco, and while she was talked of for a time as avail able for charter, it is said that there are no further negotiations for her by Portlanders. The Colon will get away the last of the week. HARBOR LINES EXTENDED SOON Portland to Take Over St. Johns' Mnnicipal Dock July 8. Formal transfer of the St. Johns municipal dock is to be made to the Commission of Public Docks July 8. though St. Johns' annexation to the City of Portland becomes effective July 1. A report was made to the Com mission yesterday by G. B. Hegardt. chief engineer, who went into the his toiy of the St. Johns dock in detail, showing that it was held at a value of more than $80,000 and that there is a bond issue against the dock of J60.000. The site originally cost $23,500. At prrctnt it is under lease to the Crown Willamette Paper Company until June 4, 1916. The Commisssior. determined yester day to request a joint sesssion with the Port of Portland Commissison July 8 for the consideration if harbor lines from wnere those marking Portland harbor terminate and extending them so as to include St. Johns and Linnton end probably to the mouth of the Wil lamette. The plan is for the to bedies to adopt recommendations and request Colonel McKinstry. Corps of Kngineers, United States Army, to cause the lines to be established, it being expected tiat he would conduct a public hearing in advance of the step. The Commission ratified an ordi nance submitted by the Council grant ing to the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company the use of tracks on Stark, between First and Second streets, formerly part of the United Hallways system. It also ratified an ordinance granting to the Oregon & California Kail road Company a revocable permit to construct a spur track at east Ninth and Division streets, which in cludes a common user clause. There is to be a joint discussion be tween the City Council and the Com mission July 6 as to the reconstruction or repair of lumber mills on the water front and an understanding is to be reached as to what will be required In the way of regulation in such cases. Data concerning Portland's Harbor, water terminals, docks and facilities and kindred information were fur nished the Dominion Royal Commis sion on the request of British Consul James Erskine, also to the Department of Commerce.

V BREAKWATER MAY BE SOLD Southern Pacific Expected to Give Up Steamer Next Year. That preliminary negotiations are on for the steamer Breakwater, now op erated between Portland and Marshfield by the Southern Pacific, la the latest along the waterfront. Work on the new road between Eugene and Marsh field is so well advanced that it is said service will be inaugurated early in January, so with the operation of that line the company must cease steaming the Breakwater between two points also reached by its rail line. There has been talk that the South ern Pacific probably would run the ves sel elsewhere on the Coast where It has no rail connections, but it la under stood that If a sufficiently attractive offer is made she will be given up. The vessel is now carrying steel rails in ad dition to her other cargo from here to Coos Bay and that end of the railroad is said to be advancing toward the Umpqua. where it will meet the line from Eugene. The Breakwater sails on the return to Marshfield tomorrow morning. STELLA BOATOWXER WANTS $10 Northern Pacific Said to Have "Busted" Craft to Pieces. W. J. Haston, of Stella, has written Harbormaster Speier to complain that his boat was severely dealt with Thurs day, through swells caused by the tur bine steamer Northern Pacific on her trip from Portland to Astoria, lie writes as follows: "Mr. Harbormaster: The Northern Pacific damaged me to the extent of J10 (ten dollars) when she went down, and busted my boat all to pieces." Needless to remark Stella is without the jurisdiction of the head of the Harbor PatroL who feels that he will have sufficient cares after today in taking over additional territory be cause St. Johns and Linnton become part of the municipality of Portland tomorrow. CAPT. MACGENN WRITES SONG "Poet of the Pacific" Swings to Melody In Which "Wets" Lament. "When Oregon Goes Dry," by Cap tain T. J. Macgenn, skipper of the Portland-Coos Bay liner Breakwater. Is the latest musical composition on the Port land market and the first from the pen of the "Poet of the Pacific." though he had dealt long and earnestly in prose and poetry. Captain Macgenn not only supplied the words, but the melody as well. The song deals with the victory of the drys and the tide of certain travel from Oregon to her sister state, Cali fornia, where the wets" are yet in power. The Breakwater's navigator says the number will be heard in Port land houses within the next week and that It will be followed by others. Ash-Street Dock Agency Changes. J. W.

PRICE TURNS DOWNWARD Clearing Harvest Weather Is Pre dicted and Threshing Returns Are Bettei- Leading Houses Are on Selling Side. CHICAGO, June 29. Renewed fear of pressure from a rapid movement of the 1915 crop brought about the downturns today in the price of wheat. Notwithstanding the early advances, the market at the close was c to mclc under last night's level. Corn finished 4 to He down, oats 4c off to He. up, and provisions varying from un changed figures to a rise of Sc. Weakness In wheat became especially no ticeable during the last hour of the session, when clearing weather and better thresh ing returns had led to predictions of an in crease of hedging sales. A long-range fore cast that gave promise of at least several days of clear skies and warmer tempera ture counted decidedly against the bulls, it being urged that the market was 25c to 27c above last year's prices, with a crop 150, 000,000 bushels larger than last year and two-thirds of the total almost ready to move. The selling that ensued was headed by some of the biggest houses on change, and seemed to show a nearly complete re versal of sentiment as compared with the feeling at the start. Commission, buying, based on higher cables and on stormy weather in the domestic harvest region, was general in the first half of the day. Corn was governed mainly by wheat. Slightly improved crop reports from Illi nois and Iowa tended to handicap the bulls.
