THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX.. WEDNESDAY, MATT 26. 1920 LOCAL F FOR EASTERN GLEN Vessel to Be Used in Grain Exporting Business. FULL CARGOES BOOKED Steamer to Arrive Were WKb Dewey June 5 IBakersficId to Fol low Three Days Later . The shipping board steamer Eastern Glen, built in Japan and recently turned over to the emergency fleet corporation at Seattle, has been chartered by a local grain exporting concern to come here to load a full cargo of wheat or flour for export. She is the sixth vessel to be fixed for wheat or flour carrying on private account since the termination of gov ernmental control over exportation of these commodities. One grain ship the steamer Eel beck already has loaded and gone, the steamer Kaysccka is now load- ing at the Portland flouring mills, and four, including the Eastern Glen, have been fixed to come here in June for wheat or flour at the option of the charterers. The three others are the steamers Dewey, Eakersfield and Effingham. According to present schedules and expectations, the Eastern Glen and Dewey will arrive here June 5, the Bakersfield will follow three days later, and the Effingham will arrive about June 30. Besides the full cargoes booked for t hese six steamers, large part car goes of wheat have' been carried by the steamers Steelmaker and bteel Vovaarer of the Isthmian lino and the West Katan of the European-Pacific line. Besides the vessels loading wheat or flour for private account, one the steamer Uigho has been assigned to the grain corporation to carry flour and will be here about June 15. Kego tations are now under way to Uring the army transport South Bend into the Columbia river at about the same time for a cargo of flour. The South Bend is now en route from Honolulu to San Francisco with sugar and nrobably will come here after dis charging at San Francisco. While providing an Interesting spectacle for visiting Shr?ners and Rose Festival visitors, the heavy grain movement booked for June causing considerable concern among stevedores. If bookings for July equal those of June, as they are ex pected to, the heaviest wheat export movement from this port will take place during the highest water of the year, and during this period the wheat must be moved upward from the docks into the ships instead of down ward by force of gravity.

BUYERS WITHOUT ORDERS Mill Cancellations, Financial Con ditions, and Transportation Dif ficulties All Depress Market. Business In the wool market in the northwest la almost at m complete stand- till. Buyers are without orders and no disposition is shown In any quarter to speculate. What wool is worth no one appears to know, except that It does not have the value it did two weeks ago. Can cellations of .orders on manufacturers' books have put a stop to the demand from that source. Financial conditions. transportation difficulties and strikes have also combined ' to cause a cessation of business. While the market Is being adjusted to the new conditions It Is not likely that activity will develop In any quarter. How long the present state of things will last cannot be foreseen, but It Is the hope of wool men that the market will soon settle to a workable Basis. The goods orders that are being withdrawn are bound to be replaced at an early date, and when the manufacturers know what they can realize on their output, they will again be in the market as buyers of wool. Commenting on the general wool sit uation, the Boston correspondent of the New York News Record says: "The woo! man's troubles are, by no means, confined to the difficulties Inci dent to his own business. Word seems to have been passed around recently that the financial situation was such as to uceest the utmost caution in every line of trade, but especially with regard to mak lns commitments at nresent hih i-i- that -would require considerable time for tneir working; out.
