Lumber Cargo.
Tho fo'.ir-masted schooner Henriette
left Monterey,. Cal., Wednesday night
In tow of the steamer Mukilteo and
- -will be due off the mouth of the Co
lumbia river Saturday, according to
advices received here yesterday by the
Merchants' Exchange and the Port of
Portland.
One of the port tups will meet the
schooner off the mouth of the river
' and the steamer Portland will prob
ably bring her up the rive:- to the
' Clark-Wilson Lumber company's mill,
where she will start loading.
A number of interesting features
' surround the coming of this vessel.
In the first place, she Is one of the
oldest afloat and still In active serv-
Ice. Moreover, she is coming here to
"load lumber for the orient, which Is
' In Itself an unusual trade for a vessel
of her class.
Ilenrlrtte Bnllt In 1874.
The Henriette was built at LaSeyne,
France, In 1874, and Is now 48 years
tf age. The fact that she Is still a
staunch and seaworthy craft in spite
of her age is attested by the fact that
she has been chartered - by the Pa
cific Export Lumber company to take
. a cargo of lumber to Japan In mid
winter, and that no difficulty has
been experienced in regard to her ln-
. aurance.
Sailing vessels were generally con
ceded by shipping men to have been
. forced permanently from the trans
pacific trade by thr modern steam
ships with their many times gfeater
carrying capacity and speed, until a
few months ago. Within the last
three months, however, a number of
sailing schooners hive been dis
patched from the Columbia river and
Coos bay for the orient with cargoes
of lumber and logs.
Klve Other Sutlers "Listed.
Besides the Henriette, five other
n 11 ing' craft have been listed by the
Merchants' Exchange as either en
route to this port or soon to come
"ere. These are the "barkentines
Annie M. Knlph and Monterey and the
schooners Kiiward R. West, John W.
Wells and Thistle. The Rolph bark
entine, now at San Francisco, Is sup
posed to be coming here to load for
Port Natal. The barkentlne Monterey
rleared Salaverry November 23 for
Iqulque and Portland.
uf the schooners, the Kdward It.
West left Honolulu November 18 for
tho Gilbert islands, where she Is to
pick up a cargo of copra fo the IVrt
lnnd Vegetable Oil Mills company.
The John W. Wells railed from New
castle, Australia, for Portland direct
September 14 and is now 114 days
out.
The last sailing vessel to make the
direct run from Newcastle to Port
land was the barkentlne Georgina,
, which made tho passage In 86 days.
The schooner Thistle, owned by Bal
four, Guthrie & Co., and bringing a
cargo of coal to the Columbia Itiver
Coal company, sailed from Newcastle
October 16.

WORLD HOP SUPPLY
a rs"s a s am j . 1
..WW ....... 11- .ft
British Restrictions Alone
Keep- Prices Down.
CONTROL FOREIGN TRADE
Requirements of Domestic Consum
ers Are Small Uttio Business
In Local Market.
ITop men for some time have been look
ing forward to a revival of demand, but
up to the present there are no stpns of
It. Only on occasional order comes along
and the market holds at the old price.
The best-hops 'are worth about 20 to
cents and lower Krude around IS cents,
but growers are making no effort to sell
at these low prices.
The opinion is snared by both growers
and dealers that the v shortage in the
world's supply of hop, is bound sooner
or later to make Itself felt. There are
only some 3u,ooo bales of hops unsold
In the United States, but foreign demand,
as yet. Is lacking, and domestic con
sumers appear lo have their requirements
filled. When the demand from abroad
develops It should not take long to change
the present small surplus lnt a shortage.
According to official returns the quant
ity of hops consumed by brewers In Great
Britain duriug the year, ended Septem
ber 30, 1U-J0, was 08.371.720 pounds, equal
to 503.31! hundredweights. Assuming the
present consumption of hops to be at the
same rate. Great Britain, with an English
hop crop in 1U2X of only 224,000 hundred
weights would be short of requirements
to the extent of 279.3111 hundredweights
equal to 31.2S3.72g pounds, or an equiva
lent of ica.loi.
No one doubts that this deficiency will
sooner or later become an Important
market factor. The one obstacle to a
speedy adjustment of hop values to supply
and demand conditions Is the control
policy that has prevailed in England since
war days. The English controller has
sal. the price of English grown hops at a
high figure, which" would naturally turn
English brewers to the cheaper American
hops, but theV are not permitted by the
controller to Import these In the quantity
they want. Only hops contracted for early
can be taken Into England and only .& cer
tain proportion of these. When, In the
opinion of the English official, the time
Is right to lift the restrictions, the Ameri
can market should respond promptly. It
Is the hopo of the hop -trade that this
time Is not fur off.

SUGAR MARKET MAV GO LOWER
Cheap Prices Expected Greatly to Increase
Consumption.
A larger consumption of sugar -as a re
mit of tow prices Is predicted by an east
ern authority who, summing up recent de
velopments in the trade, says:
"With such, a larg quantity of the old
crop stlil to be marketed and the heignt
of the new season's production yet several
months distant. It may be too early to feel
asured that the market has touched the
low point for the year. But past exper
ience leads to the belief thM the better
financial situation which experts predict
for 11)22, coupled with extremely low
prices, will result ln a greatly Increased
consumption of sugar and In the replen
ishing of invisible stocks the world over;
and we are of the opinion that If prices
decline to or about the level of 1 4c
c. nnd f. for Cuban raws, sugar "of any
kind will be a purchase, and that there
will be a substantial recovery; In the mar
ket before the end of the year and a re
turn to approaching normal prices and
