Dia mond tc Co. have informed the Colum bia Pacific Shipping company that more rates are being worked out by the ship ping board, and it is asked that an ef fort be made to determine when ships should be scheduled to sail. - It waa particularly desired, says the message, to load steamers for London ' and Liverpool, also continental ports and Scandivanian ports, and if full csr Kocs were not available the vessels may rail within the Golden Gate to com plete. Cargo Kaowledge Desired. "Having succeeded in bringing this line to Portland, we feel that much of the preliminary labor is ended, though there are general details yet to be passed on in connection with which we must have the aid of the shippers." said A. C. Stubba. general manager of the olumbia Pacittc agency. "The sooner we are able to obtain tangible krwl edge of the prospective cargo move ment, the quicker we can furnish Infor mation toward a permanent schedule. "Our aim will be to afford full con sideration to local products: that is. auch as originate in the territory for which Portland and the Columbia river (provide an outlet. Inquiries have been received from Astoria is to canned salmon: while there is copra to move and barley. Whether these may be accepted in large or small parcels is to be governed by the information we are given by all. The more diversified the cargoes are from Portland, the more they will represent our natural and manufactured products abroad, and the more satisfied we will be that the service is serving the general com mercial community." Humboldt Bay an advance of SO cents was made on cargo for southern Cali fornia totaling $7.60. the San Fran cisco rate remaining the 'same. $6. From Mendocino ports the Increase is 50 cents. Offshore freights are unchanged, ex cept to Valparaiso and Callao they are raised from $30 and $32.50 to $32.50 an $33.50. There is said to be no indication that lumber tonnage for the Antipodes and west coast will become more plen tlful soon. DOCKIXG SPACE HERE SCARCE Vessels Assigned to Load Cargo Find Berths Much Occopied. So rapidly are vessels being as that signed to loading berths here space for ships is becoming scarce. On tliv arrival lut nisrht ot the 3teniner Mahanna. from Astoria, arrangement had to be made with the San Fran Cisco A Portland Steamship company to berth her at the lower end of Ains worth dock, where she will complete her inspection today. Shipping board vessels are tKcn care of at different docks, some where they load supplies and others where cargo Is ready, while such as are not delivered to operating companies are held elsewhere. Naturally, the wood ship builders are desirous of gettin ships away from their plants as rap idly as they can be delivered, and tha keepa the Emergency Fleet officials busy searchir.pr out temporary berths. .

The Armenian was in Southampton for 10 months, the damage by the la torpedo having torn away her stern and effected a 20 per cent loss of the vessel. Mr. Magee had special opportunity to observe the labor conditions in Kng land during the repairs on the Arme nian, and frequent visits were made to other districts. He declares the labor situation in England is tense and those who are laboring are not working up to the speed found in America. Nearly everything there In the shipyards is done m-ithout improved facilities, auch as air drills, hammers and boring ma chines, he stated.

PLANTS MAY SHUT DOWN Hope Entertained Cancellations May Be Reinstated. Enabling; "Work to Proceed. Without undue haste, but under a steady pace, the wood shipbuilding pro gramme of the G. M. Standifer Con struction corporation is being brought to a close and when July passes there will remain only two steamers to be delivered, the By field and Mendora, which are. on tha stocks at the Van couver plant. An uncompleted hull re mains on the ways at the North Port land yard, that having been canceled and three hulls built there, which are not to have machinery installed, the Wabanaquot, Akanaquint and Kuda- pasan, have been accepted by the gov eminent. Previous to June 1 the corporation delivered the steamers Klneo, Bushong, Belding and Buttonwood from the Van couver woodyard and the first June de livery was the Benzonia, while ths Kangl, Bushrod and Aim well are scheduled for delivery this month and July the Butte, Umatilla, Moosabee and Oktya should be turned over to the Emergency Fleet corporation. The By fie Id should be floated July 15 and the Mendora July 20 and with the other carriers out of the way meanwhile the completion of the last two should bs rapid. Plaats May Close.

M. Stan difer corporation, the head of which. Guy M. Standifer. has been tn the east for several weeks on business having to do with the reinstatement of the ships. Shipping board officials have been quoted in press dispatches as favorable to the Standifer Vancouver plant being allowed two or three of the five vessels, otherwise only ten ships would be turned out there, as compared to twice and three times the number at ther coast yards. Price May Be Cut. At the same time, it would not be sur prising if the five vessels were turned back, though probably at lower figures than originally applied, as the con- racts were signed during the war period. The yard is regarded In ex cellent condition for fitting in the ad- itional vessels, as the fifth will be floated the last of this month, leaving ve, or one turn over of the ways, for delivery. Should the five canceled vessels be regained provision will be made for another "turn over" that would insure the plant going ahead for several months, by which time private contracts are hoped for.

Thirteen tank cars are on the sidetrack at the Northern Pacific oriental docks tak ing on peanut oil, shipped to Tacoma for transfer across the country to the Proctor & Oamble plant In Chicago. The peanut oil is originally shipped to Tacoma in barrels. These barrels are emptied into a large tank on the dock and a steam pump is then used to pump it into the railroad tank cars. This Is a departure for the Northern Pacific docks. as the ships heretofore have unloaded at the Milwaukee docks, where the apparatus for transferring the oil from tne barrels to tbe tank cars has been in use.

Following a stroke of paralysis, John Martin Graham, late president of the International Trust company of Boston, Mass., died here late this afternoon. It was learned that Graham, who Is wide ly known in financial circles in New England and who is said to be a power in Wall street, had been in a feeble condition for nome months. System . Devised by Grain Corpora tion for Handling Crop Under . Government Guarantee. A general bulletin was isaued yesterday by M. H. Houaer, second vice-president of jrrain corporation, to mnis. aeaiers, bakers and other flour handlers, outlining the policy of tho corporation in the handling of wheat and flour during the ll'lO season. The bulletin in part follows: License All wheat flour mills regardless of sizo, all grain dealers and elevators, all flour jobbers, all bakers using. 50 barrels or more per month. While there exists the authority to license retailers, if found neces- ary, they will not at the present time oe put under license. A proclamation govern -In? licensos will be issued in a few - days. Then forms of application will be distributed from the zone manager's -office. License rules and regulations will shortly be Issued but co-operation of the various trades will be accomplished through voluntary con tracts, a separate contract for each trade, namely wheat- flour millers, grain dealers and elevators, flour jobbers and bakers. These printed contract forms wiii be in the hands of the second vice-presidents within a week. When contract forms are signed they are to be returned to the zone manager who will at once forward them to the general office for signature of execu tive of the grain corporation. Through these contracts the dealer and miller agree to pay not less than the corporation guar anteed wheat price basis and in securing a proper reflection of not less than that basis to the producer the corporation pro tecting the contracting party in the event of a lower" wheat resale basis established by the grain corporation. Certain provision is made in the contracts for the payment to dealers of ' storage before - and after the period of advancing premiums if shipping conditions prevent normal turnover; this protecting the dealer from tho necessity of reducing th price to the producer. Tt hats been determind to put in a premium basis over the guaranteed price basis and this premium reflected to the producer when the situation in the judgment of the wheat director makes such action advisable. It is decided that there will be no advance pre mium over the guaranteed price for the month of July; a proper reflection of the guaranteed price basis to the producer is the guaranteed price at the most favorable terminal minus freight and a reasonable maximum handling margin, is ex Dec ted that comoetition regulate the handling charge or buying margin on a reasonable basis. All mills, dealers and elevators in purchasing wheat from the producer shall buy on the basis of the federal standards, using their best and honest judgment. In the event of a difference of opinion as to the grade, sample of wheat shall at once be drawn in the presence of both buyer and seller, enclosed in a proper container, and sent to the rone manager for decision as to proper grade. Elimination of intermountain absorption In viaw of the doubt of our authority to continue to absorb on a theoretical $2 min imum at intermountain points, we shall retire altogether from that absorption. The new basis provides a net minimum of $1,964 at intermountain points included in the new rail rate and since the literal enforcement of the guarantee would only make effective the $2 price at the named points of Salt Lake City, Pocatello and Great Falls, and without this new gulf construction netting St. 964 the producer would oe obliged to deliver this wheat at these named points at $2, the result is that the grower is get ting better net return than under the literal application of the guarantee- as formerly construed. Reduced wheat resale nrice Tn the event of a, reduced resale price for wheat on the part of grain corporation that reduction will be based on wheat but Indemnification made only on flour, the guaranteed price to the producer remaining at the one price through the year.
