CO THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY, ArRIL 22, 1921 COASTAL Si RATES i ARE IN 11 U. S. Shipping Board Throws Bomb Into Conference. SHIP BOARD ASSIGNS Tl STEAMER Two Vessels to Load Here Middle of May. ' CANADIANS ALSO IN RACE Northern GoTCrnment to Enter tbe San Francisco to Yancou yer Serrlce. ' VAXCOCVER, B. C. April 21. (Special.) R. M. Semmes of the United States shipping board, threw a bomb into the last session of the Pacific westbound conference by an Bouncing that If the conference could rot hold its memtAjrs together the hioDinir board would pull out alto Kether and have nothing more to do with the organization. This was more than a gentle hint that if the other members of the conference could not bring the Blue Funnel and one or two other lines Into paraoe tne shipping board would go its own way and quote its own rates, inio an nouncement arose from the fact that when the conference deciaea to raise the lumber rate back to 15 from $10 the Blue Funnel and one other re fused to abide by the ruling ana con- tintll t tin. The latest sensation In coastal con ditions is the announcement tnai me Canadian government will enter the San Francisco to Vancouver service and much to the consternation of the Pacific Steamship company the gov ernment line captured the contract ' to carrv pulp and paper irom cnu.. Columbia to the California ports. The rate is about 4 and is much lower than that quoted by tne lino i i" nt in operation. Six Vessels te Be Pot Ob. It is the Intention of the Canadian government to put on aooui i wis in the summer and open a regular service from South America to Van couver, calling at San Francisco and Seattle but not transferring freight from one United States port to an other. . In the inter-coastal service lumber and shingles continue to move via the Panama canal to American Atlantic Iorts, and the rate on lumber gives a profit of about J3500 a 1.000,000 feet on freight alone over what the rail xate offers. Shingles can be put into points back a little from the seaboard, allowing a 10 per cent back haul by rail, for IS cents cheaper each bundle than by all-rail. Heavy shipments of hemp and wool Jiave moved through this port for years, arriving here by steamer from the orient and Australia and going over the trans-continental lines to At lantic markets. These shipments have keen diverted to the all-water route ia the Panama canal and the ship pers save about 45 per cent on the freights. An instance of this is the shipment of hemp now lying at this port from the orient, which will be picked up here by the Bessie Dollar, inbound from the orient, and carried to Siew York. Service Is DIjicow raged. The action of the Canadian govern went railways In cutting freight rates on lumber from British Columbia t the maritime provinces to the ezten of $4.30 a thousand has done muc to discourage the inauguration of steamship service between Vancouve and .Montreal and after the two ves eels now chartered to take a Bpe cial order to Three rivers has de livered. there is small probability o the service being continued. The margin is only about $3 between cargo and rail in favor of ships and this is not enough to warrant large cargo orders when only carloads are reiulred. The West Isleta of the North Atlan tic and Western Steamship company has captured a shipment of 2,000.000 shingles for Carsten & Earles of Se ttle to New York, and will also take A shipment of wool, which the Cana dian National railways was to have taken overland to Boston, but which lias been diverted to go via water to the Atlantic. There have been no alterations In lntercoastal rates and trans-Pacific quotations are the same on all com modifies except onions which were reduced to $10. Seattle office.

The Japanese freighter Tokuyo aiaru or the Toyo Kisen Kaisha ar rived last night from Valparaiso. Chile, via San Francisco, and will load here for Yokohama, Kobe. Mojt and Hongkong. She went to the Supple- Eallin dock, where she will take the first of her Portland cargo, going later to the Eastern & Western mill and finishing at the Inman-Poulsen mill.

Corn finished unchanged to He lower and oats unchanged to down. In provisions the outcome varied from loo decline to a like advance. Until the last half hour, wheat failed to show any well defined tendency, but Instead underwent numerous rapid flue tuations. Sellers were inclined to put stress on bearish views of the industrial situation and to be skeptical about domes tic crop damage talk. Scantiness of the stock of wheat here was an incentive to buy and so was a current opinion that no exports need be looked for this season from India. Russia or the Balkans.

Europe Apr. 23 port dealings were in progress and to lift values at the last. Gossip that Indiana and Illinois offerings of corn had increased slightly counted against bulls In corn. Oats were . weakened by competition from Canada. Downturns m hog values made pro visions for the most part lower. The Chicago market letter received yes terday by the Overbeck & Cooke company of Portland, said: Wheat Fluctuations were extremely erratic and the market highly sensitive to conflicting news items. The start was lower, followed by a sharp rally, then a quick dip based on the decline in Liverpool prices and later a strong recovery at the close Receipts in the southwest were mailer and country offerings likewise. due in all probability to the fact that the strong tono of the market for tho past few days has encouraged holders. All caah marKcts were strong and higher. Crop re ports were mixed, some sections of Okla. homa reporting damage likely to show up with the event of warm weather. There ia only 4(1,000 bushels contract wheat in store here and less than G00.0OU bushels all told In public and private elevators. We cannot see the wisdom of selling futures with the cash lu15 cents over May and the latter selling about 2t cents over July. corn ttuying power somewhat less per sistent early in the day and market eased unuer the pressure of selling by cash houses. Exporters were after cash corn and with receipts of less than 100 cars, the spot price gained on May. The premium was the best on the crop. Ship ping sales were 730,000 bushels, including 05,000 bushels to exporters and 80,000 bushels for domestic consuniDtion. Coun try offerings increased slightly on the ad vance, especially from Indiana, but there is not a large movement In sight at pres ent. The stronger cash situation is a very encouraging development and makes the long side of futures look attractive. Jats Profit-taking sales were readily absorbed and markets showed a strong tone at the close. Receipts were only 57 cars and the cash, markets steady. Country offerings to arrive remain small. The croo outlook is somewhat less favorable than It was two weeks ago and a higher market Is indicated. Rye Trade small and influenced almost entirely by the action of wheat. July was easy due to selling ao-ainnt nurcha.ea nf July wheat. Cash rye was quiet and steady wun sales of No. 1 on track at 10 cents over May. Leading futures rangrd as follows: WHEAT. Open- High.
