HARBOR IS STUDIED
Visiting Port Officials to Con
tinue Inspection Today.
LUNCHEON WILL BE GIVEN
Prominence of Portland as Grain
and Lumber Center Is Attracting
Interest of Easterners Cargo
Handling Method Xcw.
Portland's harbor, new and old dock
facilities, dredging operations, port
regulations and general conditions are
being inspected by prominent officials
of Kastern ports, who are on their way
home from the Los Angeles convention
of the National Association of Port
Authorities, September 13. Delegates
from Pacific Coast ports opened an
other cession at San Francisco MOB'
day.
John Meigs, director of the Depart
ment of Wharves, Docks afid Ferries of
the City of Philadelphia, Pa., was in
the city yesterday, and as the gruest of
tt. B. Hegrardt, of the Commission of
Public Docks, was taken over property
improved during- the past two years
under the direction of that body.
The municipal boat landing at Stark
street was visited first, Mr. Mel?s
Ktudyinfr the work under way there
for adding a second story to the struc
ture for the headquarters of the Com
mission. In turn he was taken to
Municipal docks Noa. 1 and 2, and to
cain a comprehensive idea of the gen
eral harbor situation.
Great Northern BrlnsrH Guestx.
There arrived yesterday from the
south on the steamer Great Northern
W. O. Ross, Colonel A. K. Labette and
Frank Panzi, members of the Montreal"
Commission. They were entertained at
the Chamber of Commerce last night at
a dinner given in honor of the water
power delesates. Mr. Meigs being also
In- the party, but he left last night to
continue to Philadelphia.
The Montreal visitors will bo escort
ed through the harbor today and at
noon will be guests at a special lunch
eon at the Chamber of Commerce. The
harbor trip will be made in a launch
unless weather conditions are unfavor
able, in which event automobiles are
to be used. The principal docks, steam
ers now loading here for offshore ports
and other scenes of activity will be
visited. It is understood that other
delegates will stop at Fortlaid en route
home from the California meetings, at
which Portland was represented by F.
"H Mulkey. chairman of the Commis
sion of Fublic Docks.
Loading; Feature Found.
Portland's prominence as a grain and
lumber exporting center on the Pacific
Coast, the fact its business by way of
the canal has grown to such propor
tions and the channel and dock im
'provement projects under way have at
tracted the interest of .Easterners.
One feature in the way of cargo
handling gear that is not in vogue else
where on the Coast is the cargomast
used on the public docks and tests
made at Dock No. 1. in which it was
shown that two gangs of longshore
men could work one hatch without
interference and with increased speed
in loading and discharging, while with
one gang the increase -was at least 25
per cent, have proved surprising to all
port officials visiting here.
Another thing Is the usa of heavy
mill construction, while at many other
harbors steel and concrete are recom
mended, but wooden docks, properly
protected as is the case here, also some
of the material being treated with creo
sote, are favored as less expensive,
with the choicest material close at
hand, and sufficiently durable for ex
isting requirements.
ABER DEE HAS LAKGE FLKET
Seven Steamers unci Three Sailing
Vessels to Load.
ABKRDKK.V, Wash.. Sept. 22. CKpe-
rial.) This week promises to be a busy
on along the waterfront, for by Mon
day night seven steamers, and possiblv
eight, and thre sailing vessels will
be loading here. There are also three
Fhlps at the Lindstroin yards under
going repairs.
Respite several recent arrivals the
inbound fleet of windjammers from
foreign ports numbers 11. Most of
these vessel, however, are not due un
til the first of next month.
I'P until Monday 19 vessels, or one a
rlH.v. had cleared from Grays Harbor
during the month. Three of the vessels
sailed for foreign ports. ' The ship
ments to Australia the past six months
are the largest ever made from this
port. South America and Mexico, how
ever, are remaining closed to lumber
dealers here, due to the failure of peo
ple there to get exchange. It is said by
lumbermen that the South Americans
are willing to buy. but that they have
no money.
WORK OX AUSTIULIA Xira
Two of Four Carriers Kequired Kc
ported Ucady for Service.
In ten days definite information is
looked for bearing on the establish
ment of a Portland-Australian steam
ship service, which was recently taken
tip by If. M. Williams & Co. Jlr. Will
iams said yesterdny that two American
steamers of about 40no tons capacity
wero available and that nejroti.itions
were under way with owners of two
Norwegian steamers, each capable of
rarryinar about 7000 tons, the idea be-lna-
to start the line with four carriers.
There is said to be an abundance of
carKO that can be handled in both di
rections and Mr. Williams expressed
the conviction yesterday that such a
venture no doubt would prove a prof
itable one for the port. Australia has
bought large amounts of grain in the
Xorthwest this year and there is a
steady demand for lumber, much of
v.-hich could be moved In parcel lots. It
is thought that return freight will be
obtain l?le in considerable volume..
ROCK WANTED l OK XEV DYKE

OATS BIDS OPENED
Dealers Evidently Expect Low
Market This Year.
SUPPLY FOR PHILIPPINES
llobinson, of Seattle, Offers to Fur
nish Government With - 70 0 0
Tons at $1,26 3-4 Per
Hundredweight.
Bids for supplying the War Department
with oats for use in the Philippines for the
coming year were rfpened in Portland and
Seattle yesterday. The bid were as fol
lows: Albers Bros . Portland $1.2S
Northern Grain. Portland 1.34
Albers Bros., Seattle 1.2715
W. W. Robinson. Seattle 1.20H
The Government order will call for 7000
tons, graded and double sacked. Shipments
will be made between November 1, 1915,
and June 30, 1916. The Government also
inserted the right to call for 25 per cent
more, if needed.
The bids submitted would Indicate that
the trade takes a decidedly bearish view of
the future of the oats market, as the lowest
offer tendered is equal to about $22 on tho
market. The Government Is, therefore, as
sured of a supply of oats at a cheaper
price than It has paid for a decade. Last
year oats for the Philippines cost the War
Department about $32.
Grain dealers look for no foreign busi
ness this year. Last season the North Pa
cific Coast ports sent 2,862, S50 bushels of
oats to Europe and Australia, and prices
were high here as a consequence.
At the Merchants Exchange yesterday
the oats market was steady. One hundred
tons of October oats were sold at S23.25.
the same price that was bid Tuesday. For
prompt and November oats $23 was bid.
The wheat market was lifeless. Offers for
fife were 1 to 2 cents higher, but there was
little change in other parts of the list.
Sellers seemed somewhat firmer than the
day before, and asked 2 to 7 cents more than
buyers would offer.
Wheat supplies for the United Kingdom
are dwindling fast. Port stocks now are es
timated at 1.400,000 bushels less than last
month and 8,000,000 bushels less than a
year ago. Com stocks -are 17.000,000 bush

FALIv TLOWING IS NEARLY FIJilSHJCD
Soil Too Dry for Seeding General Rains
Are Needed
Following Is a summary of the crop con
ditions In Oregon for the week, as reported
to the local office of the Weather Bureau
by special correspondents throughout the
state:
The past week has been dry and in In
terior western counties unseasonable warm
weather has obtained. Freezing temper
atures in extreme eastern counties on the
13th and 14th did some injury to tender
vegetation, but as a rule, weather conditions
w-ere quite favorably..
Threshing has been completed in some
sections and a few farmers have begun haul
ing their hay and grain to market. Irri
gated crops are doing well, and yields of
hay and grain in Irrigated sections are re
ported as being highly satisfactory.
Fall plowing in most of the western
counties is nearly finished, but on -account
of the dry condition of the soil little seed
ing has been done.
Many growers have finished their prune
drying, and the weather has been very
favorable for such operation. Cabbages
and rutabagas are becoming infested with
vermin in some Northwestern sections, but
most garden truck is still In good condition,
though needing water.
Corn is nearly nil matured and topping
has commenced in tho Umpqua Valley,
where the yield is heavy.
The light showers of last week have im
proved eastern ranges slightly. In spite
of the drouth cattle coming in off tho ranges
seem to be In fairly good condition. All
streams are now very low and the roads
are becoming very dusty.
In southwestern counties apple crops on
non-irrigated land and the pear crops aro
light, while about one-half of the peach
crop is going to waste, due to unfavorable
market conditions. Generalrains are greatly
needed.
HOP CROP ESTIMATK, 100,000 'BALES
Independence Tlrlrt Heavy, Light in Other
Sections.
SALEM. Or., Sept. 21. (Special.) Ore
gun's hop crop for 1915, according to the
average estimates of growers and dealers,
will equal 100,000 bales. To pick the state's
crop of hops and for other expenses, inci
dental to labor, growers have paid ap
proximately $1,000,000.
In figuring the hop output, -growers and
dealers vary in their estimates. The Oregon
Hop Crowers' Association officials announce
that the crop will be about 80,000 bales,
while Independent dealers place their figures
higher.
Offsetting, the partial failure of the crop
In the St. Paul and Gcrvals districts is the
increase In the production of the yards in
the Independence district.
Conditions in this section were remarkably
good, growers declare, and nearly all the
yards bore heavily. Fourteen prominent
growers in the Independence district this
year have a total output approximating
20.550 bales. In 1914 these growers had a
total production of 16.000 bales.
Reports received here by dealers are to the
effect that in Lane County tho crop will be
about 6000 hales, practically the same as last
year. In Washington County advices arc
that this year's yield will approximate 10.000
bales.
With 5200 bales, the E. C. Horst Com
pany, of this section, leads all other grow
ers. The Horst yards last year produced
3800 bales. C. A. McLaughlin's crop this
season Is 2350 bales, as compared with 165i
bales in 1914. because of disastrous fires
which destroyed seven kilns belonging to
T. A. Llvesley & Co.. at Livesley Station,
south or" this city, this firm has approxi
mately S0O bales, while last season the pro
duction equaled 1800 bales.
WOOL SELLFXG 3IOTESrEVT EAST SLOW
Prices Tiot Materially Changed on Territory
Grades.
The word selling movement in the East
has slowed down, but prices are not ma
terially changed. Among the sales at Bos
ton in the past week were 200.000 pounds
Soda Springs half-blood at 29 cents: 50.004
pounds fine and fltw medium Utah at C4
cents; about 100,000 pounds Montana at 27
cents; 60,000 pounds three-elghths-blood
Wyoming at 32 cents; a good-sized parcel
of half-blood Montana at 30 to 31 cents, or
about 70 cents scoured.
Another Boston house reported sales of
800,000 pounds of various grades and prices,
but did not glv out the particulars.
SWEETWATER GRAPES" IX MARKET
Concords Quoted Lower Cling; and Free
stone Peaches Firm.

and further advances are looked for. No
change was reported in the butter market.
Eggs are firm with light local receipts
and withdrawals from storage are largsir.
The poultry market continued weak yes

Rev. W. II. Haines, pastor of the
Free Methodist Church of Attica, Ind.,
took four members of his congregation
for a ride in his motor-car the other
day. On a narrow road the minister
sought to pass a team of mules. As
the car was directly opposite one. of
the mules the animal whirled about
in its. harness and drove both feet
against the side of the machine. The
impact threw the car from the road
and turned it -over ajrainst the fence,
pinnlne its passengers under it. All
escaped with bruises.
STEEL IS FEATURE
Advances to Highest Point
Reached Since 19T2.
ENTIRE STOCK LIST FIRM
Wide Gains Are Made In War Shares.
Kxchangc Market Awaits Out
come ot Loan Negotiations.
Bonds Are Strong.
NEW TORK. Sept. 22. Further extrava
gant speculation In specialties, chiefly those
Issues known as war shares, helped to swell
today's trading to the very large total of
1.123.000 shares. Of this amount tj'nlted
States steel and Westinghouse Electric alone
contributed one-third. Steel Incidentally ad
vancing 214 to 78t, It's highest price since
1912. Westinghouse made a maximum gain
of IS at 124H and closed at 120. losing
a considerable part of the rise shortly be
fore It became known that the quarterly
dividend had been Increased from 1 to 14
per cent.
Other prominent features were Amerlcsn
Car & Foundry. American Locomotive, 'Bald
win Locomotive, American Smelting, Mexi
can Petroleum and the automobile issues.
New high prices were recorded by Bethle
hem Steel, which rose 4 i to USD, Crucible,
Steel preferred H to 107 TJ, Maxwell Motors
common 24 to 57i, the first preferred l'i
to 94 . the second preferred 5H to 49 Si,
Studebaker 5 to 145. Continental Can 3N
to 0;t4. Texas Company 4 to 157 and
American Woolen 734 to 05H.
General Motors, whose meteoric rise of
recent days made It the most conspicuous
of the specialties, opened at 345, an over
night gain of 22 points, fell off lO and closed
at 340. Other special stocks of no particu
lar designation rose two to four points.
In the railway division Reading, Erie first
preferred, Canadian Pacific, "Soo" preferred.
Southern Railway preferred and Atlantic
Coast Line improved their positions one to
three points. But the inquiry for investment
Issues was relatively narrow.
Cnited States Steel's greater strength
probably had Its origin In the reports of
the trade journals, which state In effect that
export business now constitutes the domi
nant factor In that industry. It was tho
demand from foreign sources rather than
home Inquiry that caused the recent advance
in various manufactured specialties.
Kxchange markets continue to wait on the
outcome of the loan negotiations, no ehanges
of note being shown by today's rates. Ster
ling wa a trifle steadier than continental
remittances.

Export Buying; Said to Have Been
Largrer Than Trade Obserred.
.Millers Laying; In Supplies.
CHICAGO. Sept. 22. Decreasing stocks In
the Northwest and disappointingly small re
ceipts gave a decided advantage today to
the bull side of the wheat market. After
a nearly continuous advance, prices closed
steady. 3c to 4Ho net higher. lth De
cember at 95'-c and May at OSc. Corn
finished i4vc oft to U higher; oats, with
a gain of ' i !,o to iij,c and provisions
varying from 2Vjc decline to a rise of 12ic.
September wheat-shorts in particular found
themselves In a tight position, the advance
In prices for deliveries on this month's con
tracts being of a character bordering on the
sensational. According to one authority,
the scarcity of supplies was explained to
a considerable extent by assertions that ex
ports have not been so restricted as tho
trade has In general assumed, and that
millers throughout the Mississippi and Mis
souri valleys have been buying with un
usual freedom at Minneapolis and elsewhere
In the Spring crop belt. Bull leaders here
went even so far as to venture predictions
that Minneapolis would not accumulate
much in the way or a surplus stock: until
after the close ot navigation.
Despite frosts over Illinois. Ohio and
Indiana, the corn market ranged lower.
Traders discounted reports of damage and
gave attention to a forecast of warmer
weather.
Oats rallied with wheat. Northwestern
Interests sold, but otherwise offerings were
light.
Higher prices for hogs strengthened pro
visions. On the bulge, however, packers took
to the selling side.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
