n Idea thera will t a scarcity of ton

through tha customary channela ana
they prnposo to forestall a possible
wheat blockade, to ask tha railroads
to lower their tariffs temporsrily. so
tha strain may be transported across
the Continent and transshipped irom
Chirac or Nasr York or. soma other
.Atlantic port to Europe.
Shortaae of Sblpa laiarohable.
As to any scarcity of bottoma to
carry thla year'a crop or wneai aortrna,
. the fear seems to be unfounded, ac
cording- to shipping men here. Mora
ships and steamera bare oeen cnar
tered already than were available at
thla time last year and plenty more
are to be had with tha wheat crop lit
tle If any lancer than a year aao. As
compared with this data two yeara ao,
the fleet under ensraaement now Is
per cent larger and it Is twice as
larse as tha chartered tonnage of three
ears ago.
There are ten mere grain carriers
tinder charter for new-crop loading to
day than were available on tha corre
sponding date last year, and they rep
resent a gain of :t.I0: tons above what
was In sunt at this time last season.
At the Jlrecflanta Exchange there are
41 Teasels listed for Portland and fully
three-fourtha of them are expected tp
be here before January 1. and most of
- them will bo dispatched between early
In September and the last of Novem
ber. They represent a combined ton
rage of X.S13. In port there are two
ships for grain of 2314 tons. A year
ago today thera S ships listed for
Portland of a total of .:; tons, but
Included In that list were 13 German
hips of I5.0S tons that could not be
made available because of tha war.
While three of them proceeded here
they remain In tha river, having been
Interned by their owners on arrival,
and the othera were held In ports
where they chanced to be whan war
was declared.
Rates Higher Taaa Before.
Ocean freight rates, however, are de
cidedly higher than they were a year
ago. and here is where tha farmers are
most concerned, as tha Increased cost
of transportation must come out of the
price of wheat. A year ago freights
were about 30 hillings for steamers
and now they are 5 shillings. Port
land wheat prices then were about the
asms as now. Tha English market, of
course. Is higher than it was at that
time.
la the past few months freights have
advanced at a rapid rate, whereas the
wheat markets of Europe have de
clined. The result has been an even greater
drop in Pacific Coast grain prices from
fie exteremely high quotations that
prevailed In tha middle of last Winter.
It is the hope of a repetition of those
high prices that Is causing the farmers
t- hold back now and turn down offers
from buyers.
bewd Profit Predicted.
flraln prices have not been estab
lished vet" said T. H. Wilcox, presi
dent f tha Portland rlourln- Mills
Company, yesterday. "But tha present
conditions will admit of remunerative
prices to the farmers or about so to a
rents, .which Is greater than tha aver
age prire received by the growers last
Tear. The movement of Kastern wheat
to market will begin In volume In
August, and Eastern prices are likely
to go-lower. It Is the movement of
Kastern wheat that will nx pricea In
European markets, and freight rates
will fix the price of wheat in the in
terior here.
faarreo Are tasspared.
"Freights are about S shillings now.
and soma owners are asking more.
Last season, when wheat was selling
here at about SI.o a bushel, freights
were around 4') shillings, and the Eng
lish cargo market was 19 shillings
higher than today. I ran see no chance
to secure a reduction in freight rates
at present, nor any particular object
for tha farmera to hold wheat for $1.
The Idea Is that wheat will ba higher
between this date and January 1 than
It wtll ba after that date. Foreign
buyers do not care to take bold of dis
tant cargoes."
Grain men here do not believe the
trans-continental roada will lover their
rates to such a point aa to make It
possible to ship wheat to Europe by
the overland route. A reduction from
e V to 54 cents a hundred has been
made, effective August IS. and they
think tnia la all the roada wilt grant.
Water Declared Only Roate.
"Wheat will continue to go from the
Tactile Northwest to Europe by water,"
raid r. YV. L. MaeGregor. of the grain
department of Balfour. Guthrie Co.
"Against the present high ocean freight
rate of S shillings, it would cost 100
.shillings to transport tha grain over
lend, and. in addition, there would be
tha difficulties and expenses of grad
ing, cleaning, handling, transshipments,
etc Ocean freight rates on tha Atlantic
are ascending as they ara on tha Pa
, clfle."
To get grain to Europe by way of
. Chicago, it Is pointed out. the farmers
- of this section would have to meet
. pricea In the Middle West and compete
with tha grading there. September
wheat In the Chicago market yester
day was quoted at I1.07H for Septem
ber delivery. In Eastern 'Washington
it cents wsa bid.
Traeaportatloa Cast High.
With the rate of 30 cents a bushel
that is soon to go Into effect, this
wheat, when It reaches Chicago, would
cost T cents more than Mississippi Val
ley grain. Therefore, to get the markets
on a parity, the railroads would have
to make a radical reduction in their
tariffs. Whether they will consent to
do this to meet the emergency remains
to ba seen. At any rate they will pnt
It up to the railroad companies.
Tha grain trade of the world is pretty
well adjusted thla year to war con
ditions There Is not the speculation
there was last season, and pricea ara
likely to be more uniform throughout
tha period of active trading than was
the case last year.
In tha lata Summer of 1911. the Port
land wheat market stood at about 95
cnta. The advance was steady until

ALL STOCKS ARE STRONG
TRADERS ENCOURAGED BV RISE I.
RAILWAY SHARES.
Trade Reports Are of Favorable
Xatare War Issues Hold
Recent Gains.
NEW YORK. Aug. 2. In view of the ec
centric performsnces of the market last
week, with its furious speculation in a few
volatile favoritea and evldencee of their in.
stability at the high prices to which they
ere elevated, traders were in doubt at the
opening today which way to turn.
There was no inclination to attempt a
further spectacurar marking up of the war
stocks. Public buying of these Issues and
the amount of demand accumulating over
the weekend was tne smallest of several
weeks. The Initial tendency was to take
profua vrhen opportunity offered, rather
than add to the load of speculstive holdings,
snd the rsther quiet opening wss marked
by small changes.
Ths list grew stronger, presently, as It
became apparent that the war shsres were
holding well snd there was no great press
ure In any quarter. Trading was no longer
concentrated in a group of favorites, but
expanded to all classes at stocks. A com
prehensive rise followed, continuing
through the dsy with no severe setbsck. The
war stocks made good gains, as did coppers,
fertilisers, oil sharea and industrials. In the
railroad division there was a broad snd sub
stantial upturn, which was regarded by
traders committed to the long side as one
of the most encoursging developments of the
dsy. Totsl rales were 600,000 shares.
Further trade reports of a favorable
nature contributed to the strength of the
market. These reports csme not only from
industries -occupied with war orders, but
from various other lines. Railroad stocks
benefited from Ineressing business, as well
ss from the good showing of June returns.
Pennsylvania reported an increase of more
than $1,000,000 in operating Income for
June.
The copper shsres were exceptionally
strong snd sctlve. Although no quotable
change occurred in the rates for copper
metal, there were reports that a further
shading of paces would be msde by the
Isrge producers ,
Speculative bonds moved Irregulerlr. There
was a further .substantial advance In the
coppers and WesUnguous Electric coavert-
iblee Issues.' The market at other points
showed some sensitiveness to liquidetton
from sbrosd Total sales, par vaiua.
$2,400,000. United States bonds were un

ORCHARD LOSSES CITED
North - Yakima Owners Cut Trees
and Ask Tax Reduction.
NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., Aug. 2.
(Special.) Amonfr the hundred appli
cations considered by the County Board
of Equalization today for reductions
on account of loss of orchard trees
were a considerable number who have
cut out orchards because the low prices
of the last three or four years have
netted them a loss Instead of profit.
The Board has about 400 applications
for reductions of orchard assessments
to consider.. The largest orchard re
ported today destroyed as unprofitable
was between 15 and 20 acres. Blight,
unfavorable soil or frost conditions ara
other causes of loss.
