LACK OF SHIPS IS FACTOR Lower Bank Clearings Accounted i For by Consolidation, but Real 1 Estate Trading Is Restricted. Postoffice Receipts Better. Two of Portland's principal indus tries hogs and grain are in a healthy, progressive stage, according to the analysis of statistics for the month of June and for the first six months of the present year. The lumber industry, as reflected by the figures, is not recovering rapidly from the stagnation which it has been tufferins- for the last few years. Prosperity seems to have been par ticularly kind in dealing with the grain industry. The volume of busi ness in this department has grown in substantial bounds for the six months' period and for the last month. Wheat receipts in Portland for the cereal year ended June 30 were 21,619, 000, compared with 20,525,700 bushels for the cereal year ended June 30, 1914. This is an increase of 1.083,300 bushels, or approximately 5 per cent. That Portland Is developing Into a lively grain center is indicated by the records of the Merchants' Exchange, which show that since trading has been established there approximately $6,250, 000 worth of grain of all kinds has been sold. The exchange began its trading operations some time after the beginning of the cereal year, so these figures do not represent a full year of activity there. Livestock Receipts Erratic. Livestock receipts continue erratic The hog department alone is reporting Increases. The hog receipts for June were "0.368 head, compared with 14, 435 head for June. 1914. Cattle and sheep receipts continue to fall off tsiightly, the losses in the former being 23S9 head for the month and 4184 head for the year to date. Sheep losses were 11,055 head for June and 43,179 head for the six months' period. Portland's gain in cereal exports compared with last season is repre sented by more than $6,000,000, and in wheat alone 5,200.000 bushels more were dispatched than in the preceding 12 months. New business was made available through the war in other than foodstuffs for humans, as approx imately 1.500,000 bushels of oats were bought and shipped from here, though in the past liurope has not purchased fcuch fodder. The inability of shippers to obtain vessels enough for the move ment, and the high freights demanded, is supposed to have prevented more commodities moving and at that, more wheat went to foreign lands than for several years. Bank Clearings Uwcr. 13ank clearings continue to show a decrease. The clearings for June were substantially lower than for June, 1914, and for the first six months of the pres ent year wereapproximately 8 per cent below the same period of the preced ing year. Kor June. 1913. the clearings aggre gated Ml. 662. 209.19. compared with J44.721.934.60 for June. 1915. For the first six months of the pres ent year the clearings were 1272,542, 801.38, -and for the first six months of 1914. they were $296,4 40,325.38. The losses in this department of the city's activity are accounted for par tially by the consolidation of the First National Bank and the Security Sav ings & Trust Company. Items that formerly passed between these banks through the clearing house now are handled direct. As both banks do a heavy volume of business it is believed that nearly all the decreases shown for the present year are caused by this consolidation. Realty I-e Active. A survey of the statistics on real estate transfers for the first six months of this year and last year indicates that the movement in realty was less active in 1015 than in 1914. For the half-year period of 1915 6460 deeds, stipulating an aggregate considera tion of $4,096,903, were filed, as com pared with 7947 instruments, totaling $5,450,153, for the first six months of 1914. Month by month the 1914 show ing surpasses the 1915 results, except for January. The fact that war stamps must be placed on all deeds filed for record this year undoubtedly has prompted many buyers and sellers of land not to record transactions, as it costs SO cents for each $1000 worth of property officially transferred. The actual value of the property governs the amount of this tax. In the listings the nominal con siderations and not the actual consid erations are given, so that the totals suffer in consequence. The number and significance of the real estate transfers recorded during the first six months of 1915 were: lonslderattons Month, IJM3 .January Vebrnary ....... March .Vprll May June Totals Month.

June receipts of the Portland post office arc not balanced yet. but an es timate, which is alwaj's a little under the total, is $92,181.89,' as compared to $92,426.41 for June. 1914. This Is a loss of less than and and one-half per cent, and is the best showing of any month of this year. Hecelpts for January, 1915, for example, showed a decrease of 11.4 per cent: for Febru ary. 7.2 per cent: for March, 6.7 per cent: for April, 8.3 per cent; and for May, 7.5 per cent. The receipts of the Postal Savings Bank for June have not yet been bal anced, but they probably will show a loss over June of last year. Postmaster Myers said yesterday.

Wheat shipments from Portland for the cereal year terminating; yesterday reached a isrand total of 1S.078.710 burhela, of which close to 1 2.000.000 bushela were exported. Tha combined wheat caricoea floated durlnsr the 1913 14 season reached 13.3S0.36 bushela. of which less than 7.000.000 bushels were sent foreign. Kxclustve of general carxro the grain and flour exports represented a. valua tion of S18.2S4.25S. as against SIO. 21S.S72 for the 1S13-14 period. fcven farlntc a falllnir off In export lumber valuations, due to the war and conse quent lack of tonnage, the total value of the forelsn (rain and lumber busi ness for the year represents a sjain over the former season of SS.910.274. In the June summary issued by the Merchants Kxchansre. that month la credited with wheat shipments of 375. 2(3 bushels, while last June there were, only 278.970 bushels. In the yearly summary It Is shown that no wheat went to the Far fclaat, though last ses son 1.474.353 bushels found their way to Far K as tern ports. Ualsi e Korwpe datable. There was a gain of 4.123.241 bushela to Kurope as compared with the pre ceding season, but one of the heaviest buyers In the past. California, ordered sparingly, the year's purchase amount ing to 2.3S7.213 bushels, a falling off as compared with the 1313-14 period of 3.799. tl bushels. To Houth America ;S2.ii0 bushela were exported, while none went there the year before and the same Is true of South Africa, which took 1. 381. 41 busi.'ls for the year clos ing yesterday, while Australia bought 832. 60S bushels and that country did not draw in 1913-14. The canal trade resulted in 248.663 bushela going to Atlantic ports, which generally was supposed to be for Kuropean delivery, but at any rate It opened a new chan nel. Atlantic ports also took 69.935 bar rels of riour during the year, which la listed aa new business. The total flour business was 971. 10 barrels, thou eh 1.154.5(1 barrels went to all ports the year before. The Oriental movement fell off from 679.152 barrels to 1:3.423 barrels, the war, withdrawal of reg ular steamship servleV and a geneial falling off In the call for foodstuffs In that direction being responsible. Cal ifornia firms increased their flour pur chases from 452.129 barrels to 520.159 barrels.

The Harrison liner Merchant, which ar rived here last night front London with a general cargo for British Co lumbia and Puget Sound ports, pre sented a strange appearance, having been painted coal black from bow to stern and her name obliterated every where, as a protection against subma rine attack in the British war zone.

Aa Heavy.,, r.arley exports were not as heavy as a year ago, 1.398.479 bushels being sent away aa compared with 2.949.4"! bushels the year before, but the expor tation of oats climbed from a mere handful to 1.484.604 bushels. The falling off In foreign lumber shipments appears greater because the 1913-14 season was such an active one In that regard. In the domestic col umn the difference Is not so great. The building of the California expositions and other new construction in the South influenced shipments from here dur ing 1913-14. but In spite of the war the total of 158.740.192 feet Is above what was expected to be sent to do mestic ports. Iack of steam and sailing tonnage has wielded an effect in all lines of export, as grain now here would have been floated earlier had vessels been obtainable and numerous orders for lumber have been dropped owing to the same predicament. Freights for both have soared above all quotations In normal times, but even with vessel owners reaping the greatest harvest they have experienced, there Is a most serious lack of tonnage that shippers s.ssert can only be relieved through a termination of the strife In Kun.pe.
