deductions of from 5 to 10 shillings
In the shipping: board rate on wheat
and flour to European porta, jnciu
uion of the United Kingdom, conti
nental Europe and the aditerranean
in a single blanket rate, and the de
lineation of a strict demurrage clause
were features of the new shipping:
board rates on wheat ana iiour iron
the Pacific coast to Europe, made ef-
rective at noon yesterday for May and
June loading:.
, The new rates were the result of a
conference between H. H. Ebey, di
rector of operations for the Pacific
mast district of the shipping: board.
and R. M. Semmes, director of opera-.
tions for the north Pacific aistrict.
The announcement of the new tariff
was made yesterday by the local of
fice of the operations division, following-
an exchange of telegrams be
. tween Mr. Ebey, who returned to this
city yesterday morning: from Seattle,
and Mr. Semmes.
Controversy la Ended.
The controversy, which arose some
time ago between the Seattle and San
Francisco offices of the division of
operations as to what constituted me
rale from the Pacific coast to Europe,
and which resulted in one quotation
. at Seattle for Portland loading: and
another quotation at San trancisco,
was ended by the concurrence of the
heads of the two operating: districts
on the coast in the revised rates.
The new official rate Is 65 shillings
a ton from the Pacific coast to one
port of the United Kingdom, Ireland,
the Bordeaux-Hamburg range, the
Mediterranean not east of the west
coast of Italy, or the Atlantic coast
of Spain. This rate formerly was in
effect to the Antwerp-Hamburg
range, but will replace a rate of 70
hillings to the Bordeaux-Antwerp
range, the Mediterranean and the
United Kingdom.
, Seventy Shillings Quoted.
A new rate of 70 shillings was an
nounced to one port of the Baltic, not
north of Stockholm, and to Chrlsti
ania, Copenhagen. Gothenburg, Mal
mo and Stettin. This replaced a rate
of 75 shillings to the closer Scandi
navian and Baltic ports and 80 .shil
lings to those more distant.
For discharge at two closely ad
jacent ports, an addition of two shill
ings sixpence was made to the one
port rate, and an addition of five
shillings for discharge at two ports in
different ranges or not closely ad
jacent in the same range.
All charters of shipping . board
vessels made under the new rates will
contain a requirement that loading
be accomplished at the rate of 800
tons a day, with delivery at ship's
tackle or the mouth of conveyors.
" Rapid Discharge Wanted.
The minimum rate of discharge un
der the new tariff will be 500 tons
dally, and failure to unload cargo at
this speed will cost the shipper 35
cents a day for each net ton of the
vessel's register. If the discharge
rate specified in the charter is less
than 750 tons a day, the freight rate
will be increased by two shillings
sixpence per ton. Operators are to
be allowed 10 cents a ton dispatch
money.
Local grain exporters with whom
the new shipping board rates were
discussed agreed yesterday that the
tariff was favorable, and comes close
to meeting the rates quoted by for
eign vessels, except for the minimum
discharging rate and demurrage
clause.
DlarrlmlnarlOB la Charged.
The grain men held that the rate
of discharge should be determined by
the custom of the port of discharge.
The naming of the same rate to
the United Kingdom and to the
"Mediterranean was held by the ex
porters to discriminate against ship
ments to the United Kingdom, though
It provided an extremely favorable
rate to the Mediterranean ports In
view of the fact that seven or eight
days more steaming time from the
Pacific coast was required to reach
these ports than those of the United
Kingdom.

NEW YORK. April 20 Difficulties
between steamship owners here and
their employes In negotiating a con
tract to supersede that-expiring May 1
assumed broader scope today when
the cooks' and stewards unions joined
the seamen and firemen in laying
down conditions for the new contract.
These four groups joined in demand
ing enforcement of the Lafollette
seamen's law, abolition of the ship
ping board's recruiting service, and
precedence of the question of prefer
ence to union men over wage scales
in negotiating the working agree
ment.
Conferences of the ship owners
have resulted in a declaration for a
25 per cent wage reduction.
Provisions of the Lafollette law,
which the union leaders alleged were
being violated, include the require
ment that 75 per cent of the men
must speak the language of a given
ship s officers; that foreign ships en
tering American ports maintain l'fe
boat equipment and crews' quarters
on a parity with American ships, and
that 76 per cent of the deck force of
American vessels have able seamen's
ratings.
The sea service bureau of the ship
ping board was started during the
war to recruit men for American
ships. The unions alleged this service
was maintained in opposition to their
own recruiting agencies.
The owners have declined to con-4
sider these demands on the grounds
that they have no authority over gov
ernment agencies.
The conference will be resumed
next week, it was said tonight.

Charters for four additional steam
ers to carry wheat or flour, or both,
from Portland during the remainder
of April or early in May, were an
nounced yesterday. Two shipping
vessels and one British steamer are
included for European loading and
one Japanese steamer was named to
take a full cargo of wheat to Japan.
Seventeen steamshipe and motor
ships, including those already In port
here, are now listed to load wheat
and flour at Portland during April
and May. This is the largest list of
grain tonnage to be chalked ud for
.rortiana loading. since the days when
tne sailing vessels used to flock here
seeking charters.
Charters Are Designated.
The steamers whose charters were
announced yesterday are the shipping
board steamers Meanticut and Ja
lapa, the British steamer Benledl and
the Japanese steamer Tokufuku
Mara. The Meanticut was taken by
iverr, Gilford Sc. Co., the Jalapa and
Benledl by the Portland Flouring
Mills company and the Japanese
steamer by Suzuki & Co., her owners.
A significant feature of the cereal
export business for the next few
weeks is that three and one-half car
goes of flour are to be sent to Eu
rope between now and the middle of
May by the Portland Flouring Mills
company.
- Half Cargo Being Taken.
The half cargo Is being laden on
tne snipping board steamer west mo
mentum, which shifted yesterday
from the Montgomery dock, where
she took a half cargo of wheat, to the
Portland Flouring Mills company's
plant, where she will complete her
cargo,
The steamers Jalapa, West HImrod
and Benledl will take full cargoes of
flour. The Benledl is a British steam
er of 2509 net tons, last reported as
sailing from Port Swettenham on
March 21 on her way from London
to Yokohama. She is booked to load
here about the middle of May.
Other Japanese to Follow.
The Tokufuku Maru Is the flag
ship of the Suzuki fleet, and is a ves
sel of 4293 net tons register. She will
probably be followed here by other
steamers of this fleet, as Suzuki &
Co. are the purchasers of the major
portion of about 30,000 tons of wheat
which will move from the northwest
to Japan during the next two months.
One cargo of this wheat already
has left Puget sound and another
will be taken by an unnamed ship
ping board steamer, which will be
operated by the Columbia-Pacific
Shipping company.
Coincidence la Singular.
By a singular coincidence, I. Izumi,
manager of the Portland office of
Suzuki & Co., who will handle the
vessel here, was also her agent when
she called at New York last Novem
ber with a full cargo of sugar from
the Dutch "East Indies. Mr. Izumi
was transferred to the Portland of
fice of the company while the steam
er girdled the globe, going from New
York to Sydney. Australia, with
cargo of case oil, and thence back to
the Dutch East Indies for freight for
Japan. She probably will bring some
inward cargo for Portland when she
calls here next month.
leu at 1:30 today for Portland to take on
1400 tons of wheat. She will then pro

and the Japanese steamer Tokuyo Maru
are due from San Francisco.
Carrying freight and passengers from
Portland and Astoria the ateamer Alaska

CHICAGO. April 20. Wheat took an
upward swing in price today after a new

crop advices from India, together with
n'uo j scattered reports of domestic crop de
terioration, were factors. i no close was

Vance. Estimates were current that the wheat
crop of India would be one hundred mil
lion bushels less than last year and that
the country would be an importer instead
of an exporter. Domestic crop deterio
ration reports came from the west and
southwest and were contrary to the gov
ernment weekly report, which said' freei
ing temperatures had done but little dam

The Chicago market letter received yes
terday by the Overbeck &. Cooke company
of Portland, said:
Wheat Started lower based on the
weakness in Liverpool and advices from
Argentina to the effect that holders In
that country were beginning to loosen
up and finding only a fair demand. These
items soon lost their Influence, however,
and decided strength developed, accompanied.-
by active covering of short con
tracts. All cash markets were strong and
higher with cash handlers reporting mill
ing interests showing more inclination to
taks hold. More complaints were re
ceived of crop deterlortatlon than at any
time this season which made tha trnde
realize that the crop is a long way from
being harvested. July wheat at 30tf35
cents under the cash price represents a
perfect crop outlook and seems to dis
count all that is bearish in the situation.
Corn The underlying strength which
has been apparent In this market for sev
eral days asserted Itself today in a con
vincing way. Constructive factors have
been of little consequence for so long that
the trade completely Ignored the gradual
gaining of ca.-h futures, t'ntil new con
tract grades are bringing the May price
to one cent premium. Shipping sales were
large, aggregating 370,000, mainly to ex
porters. The country continues to sell
sparingly nnd when this grain, which has
been bought by exporters, begins moving
from the seaboard It will unuouoieaiy oe
at the exDense of terminal stocks, torn
values have steadily depreciated since Inst
July and the time should be right now for
a substantial recovery.
Oats Trade was active and the market
strong aided by numerous damage reports
from sections that were nil ny tne recent
low temperatures. One report In particular
estimated the damage at 50 per cent. The
receipts were small and cash prices firm
at yesterday's basis. Country offerings to
arrive were light. For the first time In
months export bids were reported In the
market, although slightly out of line and
resulted In no business. The possibility
that a demand might develop in the near
future to absorb the stocks In terminal
elevators makes the Investment side of
this market look very attractive.
Kye Strength in other grains and buy
ing atlmulated by continue export inquiry
imnarted strength to this market. Cash
rye was quoted nominally 10 cents over
May with business restneceu Because oi
lack of offerings.
Leading futures ranged as follows:

:0W'S RECORD UNUSUAL
Kickreall Jersey Produces 94
Pounds of Batterfat in March.
NEW TORK. April 20. (Special.)
According to the last monthly state
ment of the American Jersey Cattle
club, the cow Helma of Ashwood, in
he herd of McArthur & Stauff, at
Rickreatfc Or., made the unusual rec
ord of producing 2030 pounds of milk
and 94 pounds of butterfat on official
test during the month of March. This
record for milk production has been
excelled bv only four other Jersey
cows since official testing was in
augurated in 1903, and if the Oregon
cow maintains her yield during the
remainder of the year, she will break
all Jersey records. Her butterfat pro-
uction Is not quite equal to the rec
rds of Vive La France and other Ore
gon cows.
The present contender was bred by
her owners and is 5 years xld. She
was at premium winner atthe last
Pacific International show and also
the dam of the blue ribbon bull calf.
She was placed on test on January
1. and in the ensuing three months
produced 5400 pounds of milk and 250
pounds of butterfat. Her highest daily
milk yield was on March 10, when she
produced over 70 pounds. '
. Appeal of Gas Case Advised.
VANCOUVER, Wash.. April 20.
(SpecIaL) In regard to the actlem of
the public service commission of this
state in granting to the Vancouver
Gas company an increase of 35 per
cent, E. M. Cousin, attorney who han
dled the case for the gas users in
Vancouver, today said: "If It is true
that the commission has granted the
increase, as press reports indicate, I
will recommend that the order be
appealed at once to the courts. There
is nothing in the records of the case
which would justify the Increase and
I am of the opinion that the order
can be set aside by legal action." -
