Service BctvH?n Pacific Ports and
Boston and Philadelphia Likely
to Grow by June or July.
Service of the Xorth Atlantic &
Western Steamship company "between
Pacific ports and Boston and Phila
delphia will probably be Increased to
three sailings a month by June or
July In place of the present two sail
ings a month, 't was stated yester
day by J. Karcher Jr., traffic manager
of the North Atlantic & Western
Steamship company, who arrived In
Portland yesterday from Boston to
inspect local conditions and to con
fer with Frank J. O'Connor, general
agent here for the Pacific Steamship
company, which handles the affairs of
the Nawsco line on this coast.
Manufacturers in the Boston dis
trict, he said, have resumed produc
tion with a 20 per cent reduction in
wages, and all indications throughout
the east are for a revival of business
by the early part of next summer.
'Through these dull times in ship
ping." said Mr. Karcher. "it is en
couraging to note from a dozen to 50
new consignors and consignees on
the manifest of every ship in the
coast-to-coast service. This Increas
ing use of water transportation by
shippers who have heretofore shipped
by rail exclusively Is the best kind of
assurance that intercoastal shipping
will experience a big increase as soon
as economic conditions return to nor
mal and business in general picks up.
"If our line receives its share of
this Increased business, which, I feel,
is sure to come. It is safe to say that
additional vessels will have to be
placed on the run and the service in
creased from two boats to three
month."
Mr. Karcher is making his first visit
to the Pacific coast, and Portland is
the first coast city visited on his tour.
He expects to remain in this city un
til Saturday night, studying con
ditions and meeting shippers and
chipping folk. He goes from here to
Seattle and Tacoma; thence back to
Portland and then to San Francisco
and Los Angeles before returning to
the east.

ASTORIA, Or., Jan. 20. (Special.)
The pilots' association, which has
been endeavoring to induce the light
house department to set a gas buoy
to replaoe buoy No. 6, which sank at
the mouth of the river some weeks
hgo. ie meeting with but little en
couragement. The pilots stated this
morning that they had received a let
ter from the department saying there
was a gas buoy on hand, but It Is
being held in reserve for use in case
a buoy at Port Orford reef should
be carried away, and there is little
hope of a buoy being available to
replace No. 6 in the immediate future.
In the meantime, according to the
pilots, one of the most important
aids to navigation at the entrance to
the Columbia river is missing, and
delays to shipping entering and leav
ing the Columbia river at night are
bound to occur.
As a compromise, the department
in its letter offfered to shift No. 12
buoy to the position of No. 6, but the
pilots objected to that saying No. 12
was required in its present position.
They are willing, however, that as a
temporary means of Improving the
situation No. 2 buoy be used to re
place No. 6.
Another thing which the pilots are
asking for is the establishment of
two range lights to mark the nar
row and tortuous channel between
Astoria and the post light near Flavel.
This channel has two snarp turns,
and without the requested range
lights is hard to navigate at night.

Slackness of Kxport Business unci
Uncertainty About Argentine
Taxes Lead to Selling.
CHICAGO, Jan. 20, Uncertainty about
Argentine export taxes. together with
lessening- of new export business In this
country, had a bearish eflect today on
wheat. Prices clned heavy, S'-i to 4'i
cents net lower, with March M.llS t"
$1.69 and May $l.tHVi. to $1.60',i. t.or.i
lost tiWfcc; oats li&'.ic and provisions
12 to 40c.
Attention of wheat traders centered at
first largely on the trat ofa lv;ce; H at
the Argentine government l.r.Li tali n ac
tion which implied thvre would b" no .lax
on exports. It had been the generally ac
cepted opinion that such action would tend
to shift European demand to Argentina
from the United States. Resulting declines
in wheat were overcome temporarily b
evidence that the bearish Argentine ne.v.
was erroneous. Bulls, huuj.-r. appeared
to have lost confidence, especially as the
export call for I'nlted. States grain was
not so active as earlier In the v celt, l.ale
In the day It looked as thoujli leading
longs were trying to ii-:t r, i o: iiicir
holdings. '
Corn and oats held .rcl iu"e y firm aw
ing more or less to w.t.'in Heather iiKely

Provisions were weak in line with hogs.
Packers sold.
The Chicago market letter received
yesterday by Overbeck & Cooke company
at Portland said:
Wheat Conflicting nl-ws on the Argen
tine tax proposition caused irregularity
at the opening, but liquidalion soon began
percolating Into the pit and persisted
right up to the close of the market,
which was at the low point of the day.
t this writing no authentic news lias
been received from Argentina. The
opinion seemed to prevail, however, that
there would he no tax imposed and the
advance In the Buenos Ayres market at
the opening was considered a reflection of
that possibility. Export bids were re
ported disappointingly out of line and
only a very small business reported.
Southwestern advices as to the demand
for wneat were conflicting, pome claiming
that the northwest was competing for
the offerings while others reported buyers
backing away. The trade In genera,
seemed disposed to retard the continued
good movement, (primary receipts running
about double a year agol, as a contra
diction of the Kea that a scarcity exists
