"20 THE 3IOISXnfG OREGOXIAX, TTJESDAT, JULY 29, 1919. PRE FREIGHT, CALL I OF STEAMSHIP Portland Cargoes Not Large Enough Yet, Is Report. REGULAR SAILINGS IS AIM Xocal Shippers Must Make Fresh i Efforts if Permanent Lines Are to Be Secured Mere, ' WItri the closer approach of the Sate that is to determine whether or not Portland is to have a steamship service direct to Europe, shippers of this city are being stimulated to great efforts to provide cargoes for vessels outward-bound. The steamer Eelbeck, the first of a line of vessels which the Columbia Pacific Shipping company will operate tor Williams, Dimond & Co., will be in port early in August. If a sufficient cargo is secured for this vessel, which is bound for London and Liverpool, an other steel freighter will be brought here soon after she leaves. Upon the showing made by Portland shippers with the Eelbeck, according to A. C. Stubbe, general manager of the Columbia Pacific Shipping company, will depend the frequency of future sailings from Portland to European ports. Mr. Stubbe said yesterday that although a quantity of freight has been booked for the Eelbeck, there is still considerable room. A good order of box snooks, he said, would balance the cargo. Not enough reservations have yet been made by Portland shippers for Australia and Xew Zealand on the promised steamship line to assure the coming of the Australian vessels to this port, according to K. X. "Weinbaum, secretary of the foreign trade bureau of the Portland Chamber of Commerce. It was announced through the Cham ber of Commerce last week that a per manent steamship line to the Antipodes would be established with Portland as a port of call if from 2000 to 3000 tons of outward and inward-bound freight could be promised every month. Mr. Weinbaum has been sending to Port land shippers a questionnaire asking what shipments may be made to Aus tralia and New Zealand, and what products from those countries may be booked for a return trip. In this way good results have been obtained, he said, in securing freight for the prom ised ships, but there is need for still closer co-operation on the part of ship pers to assure the coming of this line to Portland. ; Portland shippers have placed a sat isfactory tonnage aboard the new steel steamer Moriden, built by the Albina Engine & Machine works, which started loading in the harbor yesterday for her maiden voyage to Honolulu. This is the fourth vessel of the Matson line to the Hawaiian islands operated from Portland by the Columbia Pacific Ship ping company. The Meridcn is ex pected to leave today. CAFTAIX DEXIES COLLISION Charges Made in East Mystify Mas ter of Frank H. Buck. The mystery surrounding a collision frt New York harbor is expected to be r.lcared up in a few days when the oil tanker Frank H. Buck, well-known in this port, docks in San Francisco, whither she is bound from Honolulu. On the Buck's last visit to San Fran cisco she was boarded by a deputy Tn ited States marsha 1 who refused to let the vessel depart until sufficient bond had been given to cover damages to a Standard Oil vessel, inflicted in a col lision in New York harbor during the war. The captain of the Buck declared that trhe only collision he had had was with a submarine in the Atlantic, which he Sent to the bottom after an inter change of shots. He put up bond, how ever, and was allowed to leave port. The facts regarding the alleged colli sion are expected to be brought out upon his arrival in San Francisco.

STOCKS DRIFT AIMLESSLY MARKET IS IRREGULAR, BUT HARDENS TOWARD CLOSE. Volume of Transactions Lightest for Any Full Day in Weeks; Lib erty Bonds Reported Steady NEW YORK, July 2. Stocks drifted aim lessly and with many irregular price changes after the strong opening of today' session, but hardened again toward tne close on re newed absorption of equipments and steels. Transactions were the lightest and most contracted of any full day in many weeks, fulling considerably under the familiar million-share level. The market was noteworthy for the prom inence and strength of numerous special stocks hitherto Inactive or almost unknown, while many recent speculative favorites were relegated to comparative obscurity. Equipments and steels derived their main j p port from the trade advices over the week-end which continued to report progress in those industries, including another ad vance in the price of wire products. United States Steel fluctuated uncertainly after Its strong opening, but rallied from its partial setback in the rinal dealings, evi dently In the belief that the quarterly state ment, to be Issued after the close uf tomor row's market.

Coppers were not especially con spicuous at any period. but other base metals, notably American Zinc, were strong. Motors, oils and food shares reflected the further conitdence of pool, but tobaccos were active, also high-grade rails, although minor transportations proved a partial otf st. New York Dock common and preferred, led the specialties and North American and Montana Power the utilities. Salts amounted to ft."u.00 shares.

Experts and Others Render Farm ers of Oregon Serrlce. LA GRANDE. Or.. July 29. (Special.) A" a result of the efforts of George R. Hyslop, profescof farm crops at the Ore gon Agricultural college, and others, an op portunity has been afforded the wheat growers of this tMto to procure eed wheat that ia remarkably free from mixtures that would grade it down. Field? w here such wheat have been grown this year have been located by cot:nty ugents nd inspeced an certified by the representatives of the col lege. The production of wheat of this sort Is counted a real achievement and Is the re- suit of year of painstaking effort. For years the mora proa-reaslve farmers of the state have been on the lookout for pure seed, to avert the necessity of having- their a;ratn In the marketing- season graded doen and sold at low prices as compared with the best, and during- this time the Oregon ex. perlment stations have been, to the estnt of their ability, f urnlshln g "purel lnee cf the best varieties. The county agents have as sisted by inspecting and certifying seed wheat fields where special efforts werw made to produce the desired quality of seed grain. Much In this direction, it Is said, has been accomplished, and as a result Oregon now has several larve'lota of choice seed w-heat suitable for use this fall In the va rious wheat-growing sections of the state.
