Newspaper Page Text22 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, POKTLAND, JULY- S. 1900. HEAD OF THE LIST Portland Leads All Other Pa cific Coast Ports. WHEAT EXPORTS 14,000.000 BUSHELS Kerthwest Metropolis Shipped Grer 40 Per Cent of the Entire Amount Cleared From the Coast. Portland again leads all other porta pa tho Pociflo Coast as a wheat export ing point. The shipments of the North western metropolis lor the fiscal year ending June 30, were oven DOO.000 bush els larger than those of San Francluco, and were nearfy double those of the two cities on the Sound Seattle and Tacoma. Owing to the crop failure In California on tho previous season. Portland was en abled last year to show exports greater than the combined shipments of all other Coast ports, but as tha year was tho worst that California has experienced rfnoe early In the "sixties." the com parison was less significant than that which is herewith presented In detail. California's wheat crop last year was a fairly good one, better in fact than that of Oregon and Washington, and yet Port land exporters more than held their own by handling a larger amount of wheat than was handled at any other port on the Coast. In the accompanying tables, the fleet of vessels from San Francisco exceeds that of Portland, but as many of them carried part cargoes of barley, and gen eral produce, the average wheat cargo carried by tho Portland ships was much larger. Flour and wheat shipments which "were shipped to San Francisco from the northern ports for re-shipment to foreign or to take the place of California wheat fend flour that was shipped, are deducted from the California shipments In order that they will not appear twice In the ex port figures. In tho figures, flour has been reduced to wheat measure on the basis of 4& tousbels to the barrel. Portland's remarkable showing with the 1B99 wheat crop is highly gratifying to all who feel an Interest In this great fresh water port, but It will be eclipsed by the showing that will be made next year, for we are sorting the season with the larg est carry-over rtock on record, and the crop now coming on promises to be very clone to the record-breaker of 1897 In pro portions. As the Tacoma Ledger once re marked "Portland still ships some wheat." LAKE SHIPYARDS BUST. 'Work Befnsr Rushed on Many Largt Sliccd Vessel. At present the different shipyards along the lakes known as the American ship building yards are rushed with work, -which is expected to keep them going at their full capacity until cold weather calls a halt. This work, say3 a Buffalo dispatch. Is mostly on ' contracts placed some months ago, before the great ad vance In prices of material occurred. There Js no Indication that any contracts for new work will be placed at once, and when the present vrsels on the stocks are completed there VIM be a cessation of present activity unless conditions of the market materially change. "Vesselmen are waiting." said a lake line manager, "for a reduction In the cost of building, which is sure to come when the present rush is over. If not before. It Is a well-known fact among vessel-owners that shipbuilders are even now nibbling for contracts on boats to be completed the fore part of next sea Bon at a reduction of at least 20 per cent from the present highest price. The lines are not actually forced to build, though nearly all of them feel the need of .strengthening their fleets, and they will wait until prices ret down to something like a normal condition. Vesselmen con fidently expect to be able to place con tracts for new vessels at as low a price as they have ever beeon butlt for. They do not expect a long wait, either." There is a general Impression that new boats will be added to all the principal lines Just 50 soon as the conditions pre dicted by this manager are reached. At least two of the big transportation com panies with headquarters in Buffalo have their draftsmen at' work on plans. But there will be no more Email vessels con structed by the big lines. The great suc cess of the Troy and the Buffalo of the Western Transit Company's flrot has fully Demonstrated that larpe boats can be -profitably and successfully used In the handling of oackajre freight, and large boats It will be hereafter. FIRM FREIGIIT MARKET. Ships Scarce and Owner Firm In Their Tdenn Ueprnrdlnjr Rates. There has been very little doing in freights for the past week, owners having ..forced rates up to a point where ex porters heltate to operate. There is noth ing offering In the north at less than 45 shillings, and some owners are asking as high as W shillings. There la only enough tonnage In eight to load a very .mall por tion of the big crop that Is now coming on. but the uncertainty as to how it will move keep exporters from loading up villi ships which may seem very cheap . month or six weeks later. San Fran cisco Is In much the same condition that Portland Is regarding ships, that Is. she has a big crop and carry-over, and hardly any ships to handle it with. Lumber freights are firm in swmpathy with wheat, and late quotations for loading at northern por are given as follows: Syd ney. 52s Cd: Melbourne or Adelaide.

News of the whaling fleet which spent the Winter In the ice is being anxiously awaited in this 'city. Heretofore the result of the "Win ter's work, the condition of the men und vessels have always been known here dur. ing the month of June. For many sea sons the mall was brought out by Cap tain Hoffman, who now commands the schooner Penelope, and it may be that whoever undertook to succeed him as a nmilcarrier has succumbed to the hard ships in crossing the ice. The revenue cutter Bear is now on its way to the cruising grounds of the whal ers. SHIPS ARE SCARCE. Strength of Tonnage Situation .Tost Discovered In San l'rin-lco. SAN FRANCISCO, July 7.-There is a scarcity of wheat ships In this port. In cluding those now here and on tho way, there will not be more than 100 to carry this season's grain crop, which. It is estimated, will be sufficient to load twice that number of vessels. Charters are firm at 40 shillings a ton to the United Kingdom. Lorr "Water In Willamette. jXPPFEFPgKCp, Or,, July 7,-Unlpsa rain shall fall soon, the river steamers j will be obliged to suspend trips this far. There is always plenty of water between Salem and this point, but at the place where the Gypsy was wrecked the deep water Is so full of snags as to make It i dangerous navigating.

Trotting does not occupy much of a position in England, and we have this explanation: "So far as trotting racing goes we are afraid that many of those who have taken trotting in hand are to be blamed for the non-popularity of the sport, xney are no worse than many who I are on tne turf; but whereas the turf is patronized by royalty and the nobil ity, trotting has few, if any, persons of acknowledged position to help It upward to a higher platform than it has ever yet held In England." Here In America trot ting wns put on its feet by men of po sition, and only those courses are popu lar which are controlled by men of char acter. When men of shady reputations take possession of tracks and attempt to give meetings, failure Is the result. It was the uplifting influence of men like Robert Bonner. William H. Vanderbllt.

LOSS Loans Decreased Over $5,000,000 Nevr York Stock Market Qnlet Foreign Financial News. The New York Financier says: Tha statement of tho New York Clear-lng-House banks for the week ending July 7 was In direct conflict with all preliminary estimates. Theoretically, the banks should have exhibited a heavy gain In cash, owing to receipts from the In terior and Treasury disbursements. In stead of that, however, cash holdings were reduced J2,S70,300, There is no ex planation as to this falling off, but it is" probably true that the July divi dend period has confused tho averages. It is only fair to Infer that the posi tion of the Cleaiing-House Institutions is much stronger than statements indi cate, for receipts have been heavy the past few days. The Interesting feature of the week's operations is the decrease In the loan Litem, the reduction for tho week having oeen jo.oiB.tw. tws makes a total de crease of $7,135,900 from, the high point reached June 23, and mere is reason to believe, if the movements of Che past years afford precedent, that the loan total will continue to decrease until well into the Fall season. The contraction of $6,400,500 in deposits Is not as large as called for by the other exchanges, but it sets free $1,600,000 heretofore locked up in legal reserve requirements, and this accounts for the falling off of only $1,270,175 in surplus, in the face of an actual loss of $2,570,300 In cash. The fu ture of the money market is rather un certain. The loaning rate. In view of present conditions of the surplus reserve. Is abnormally low, but there Is a notice able tendency to put out only ahort-tlmo loans. The expanded loan account can be traced to Investments in sterling, and this means that a rise In Tates, should one occur, will be met by liquidation of foreign accounts and an Import of gold. But so far as being an explanation on this ground, attempts are being made even now to negotiate additional foreign loans. It Is also known that within the next few weeks receipts from the Klon dike will be transferred to New York. So far as the crop-season demands are concerned, there Is absolutely nothing to show money Is going West. In fact, the movement Is the other way. The weekly bank statement tr five days shows the following changes: Surplus reserve, decrease $1,270,175 Loans, decrease 5,578,000 Specie, decrease ".365,700 Legal tender, decrease .,604 00 Deposits, decrease , 6,400.300 Circulation, In-rease 67,100 The banks now hold $15,559,200 In excess of the requirements of tho 25 per cent rule. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. The Bnlla Were Passive and the Bears Timid. NEW YORK, July 7. The stock mar ket was In the doldrums this morning, with scarcely enough way on to indi cate the direction of price movements. Yesterday's profit movement took all the snap out of the bulls, and the bears ore disinclined to renew a campaign In the face of recent indications that holders are unwilling, to let go of stocks. Tho closing of the London Stock Exchange for a holiday added another factor of dullness. There was nothing more than a sluggish drift In prices, in sympathy with the run of special stocks. Missouri Pacific turned heavy on realizing sales. The whole market weakened and fell below last night's prices on the surpris ingly weak future of Clearlng-House banks. The light volume of selling, In view of this astonishing statement. Is striking evidence of the confirmed dull ness of the market. The showing Is quite Inexplicable, In the basis of any known facts, or the evidence of tone of the monei market, during the week. Loan contraction of $5,578,000 seems to show clearly enough that the stock mar ket liquidation In Berlin has been ac complished by the paying off of some of the heavy obligations to the New York money market What has become of the $2,870,300 of specie and legal tenders which are lost to the banks, there is nothing to show. These institutions have gained nearly $2,000,000 from the Subtreaaury. according to the official statements of departments. Following the statements of leading banks of the currency movement In the Interior, the most conservative authori ties were led to estimate that the gain In cash for the week would aggregate over $3,000,000. The market closed weak and dull under the Influence of the state ment. The bond market has moved Ir regularly, In sympathy with stocks, and there has been little evidence of the ex pected pressure for reinvestment of July dividends and Interest.

Now that another season Is upon ua and efforts are being made to work out plans for the betterment of prices for hops, a few words as to why best prices are not always obtainable may be In order. , While I subscribed for one share of stock, and consider myself a member of the association, I have nevr taken any particular Interest in It after the meeting that was held last Autumn in the Cham ber of Commerce. At that meeting I thought I plainly foresaw the utter failure of the object the association had In view, viz., the raising of prices. Another rea son was that the officers who were In control appeared to me to have an idea In their heads that the reason hops were low was owing to the action" of the deal ers, of whom It was plainly stated that they had cold large blocks or hops an. were then forcing the growers to accept low prices. I am truly sorry that mat- e 8 PACIFIC COAST WHEAT Portland-Leads All Other Ports With 40.02 Per Cent, San Francisco Next With 38.04 Per Cent, and Puget Sound 21.94 Per Cent. FROM PORTLAND.

I believe a well-organized hopgrowers' association would be of Immense benefit to this state. I believe that tho hop Indus try Is of vital Importance to Oregon. I doubt If there is a state -in the Union that can produce finer or choicer hops than Oregon. My observation and my dealings abroad have fully convinced me that our hops are steadily rising in favor. But the depression In the Industry, caused largely- by overproduction, has had a baneful effect on a largo number of our growers. There can be no question but that the low prices prevailing since 1894 has brought a very considerable portion of hopgrowers to the verge of bankruptcy. My Individual loss on laet year's crop of 50 acres amounts to1 not less than $2500. I make this statement frankly, simply In order to show Just how heavy the loss tc the state must be when we take Into consideration that Oregon Is now easily the first hop-producing state of the Union, and could raise 100,000 baled on the acre age now planted, provided that all the acreage was cultivated as It should be. I am frequently asked: What is the trouble with Orogon hops, that they sell eo low? My answer Is this, that we have to compete In an open market with the world: the world wants the best, and the market will pav the highest price for the best goods only; and right here Is the place where our hopgrowers' asso ciation ought to step in. If the growers club together for mutual benefit, their first work should be to Instruct one an other on the best methods of cultiva tion, the beat system of drying and cur ing, and, above all, they should see to It that their product, after they have grown It, Is picked clean and put up In a shape that ths market wants It. By mutual aid they can easily do this. It is done elsewhere. Tney should not run Into ex travagance In paying 4 cents a pound for picking bops when the labor, compared with other country labor. Is not worth It. and the price of hops bold on a. for eign market will not warrant It. I men tion this merely to show the great need of Improvement. If we want to keep in the business, we must adopt business methods. We must first grow our hops 0ooaeeaeo0e FLEET, SEASON 1899-1900. Wheat. Vessel- Bushels.

G. POPE. LATEST SUMMER TIPPLES. Delfciona Concoctions of Nevr York's "Only Williams." The "ice-trust cocktail" Is here, like wise the "Mamie Taylor." the new drink. Invented by a party of Washington cor spondents, says the New York Herald. Each Is "a long, cool drink," but the for mer is extolled more by the local bever age dispensers The "Mamie Tiylor" is made by squeezing a lime Into a tall, thin glass, then throwing In a quantltv of cracked ice. Over this a good-sized hooker of Scotch whisky Is poured, and then the glass Is filled up with ginger ale. At the Capital the "Mamie Taylor" achieved Instant popularity. It seems to havo superseded completely the gin and whisky rickey and the Scotch highball. The "Ice-trust cocktail" was devised by the "Only William." of Lower Broad way. It is simply creme de menthe and brandy In equal parts, well shaken up with cracked Ice and poured Into a cock tall glass. This drink made such a hit that he got up the 'Ice-trust cooler" for those who wanted a long drink. Half a lemon Is squeezed Into a tall glass (Will iam Is constitutionally opposed to limes, for reasons about to be explained), then Rhine wine, sherry and brandy In equal proportions are added, with sugar to taste. The mixture Is decorated with fruits In season, such as a couple of strawberries, a slice of pineapple and or ange. For ladles, a tablespoonful of Ice cream Is added. "Wouldn't that freeze your inquires the "Only William," with his most seduc tlvo smile. The two other popular drinks this Sum mer are the "Zephyr." made of one-third sherry and rum and two-thirds Rhino wine and a teaspoonful of lemon Juice, and "June punch." composed of Rhino wine. Moselle and sherry In equal parts, a nip of rum. a dash of brandy and a tea spoonful of champagne. For ladles, a thirst-quencher that has hit the popular fancy at the Summer re sorts Is called "Whisper of the Forest." Two long sprigs of mint are put Into a hlgb tumbler, finely cracked Ice Is added, half a lemon squeezed over It, a table spoonful of powdered sugar, and claret, sherry and rum In equal proportions poured In. When thoroughly mixed with a long-handled spoon, two straws, slight ly dampened, are held against the side of tho tumbler by capillary attraction, and the concoction Is served milady on tho veranda. V '"lne rickey Is a dead letter now." declares William. "Limes are all right, but lime juice Is deadly In Its action on the stomach. If taken too liberally, cut ting the lining literally Into shreds. In telligent men who consider the after ef fects do not drink rlckeys except occa sionally. As a matter of fact, long-headed men do not drink Icy beverages much. You know you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink Ico water. Somo men have as much horse sense. If we drank cold water, not Iced water, wo'd all live longer and live better. Our forbears lived longer and looked better at 50 than we do, and they never used lea as we do. "Horace Greeley said the way to re sume Is to resume. The way to crush the lco monopoly Is to stop Tislng crushed Ice. Cool beverages swallowed slowly quench the thirst in your throat and are grate ful to your stomach. Iced drinks poured down Induce a violent reaction, and. -do you more harm than good twice over." Violinist's Dnslcy Uttle Admirer. Buffalo News. Miss Mnud Powell, probably the most able violinist In America, tells a charm ing little story of one of her triumphs as a musician. She was touring In this country, and one morning was busy at her practicing, workine hard at a con certo. It was a hot Summer day, but. engrossed In her music. Miss Powell was oblivious to the heat. Suddenly, through the open French window there stole a little darky child, clad In a few pictur esque rags. In broken speech the small Intruder begged for a Hvelv tune, that she might dance. Miss Powell started playing a jig, the black baby picked up her rags as though they were ballet skirts and capered vigorously, laughing and showing her gleaming white teeth meantime. Then, apparently overcome with a sudden attack of shyness, tho child ran away without saying a word. A few days later MIos Powell, who had forgotten her little visitor, was practicing Industriously for a concert. Once more, through the open window, a dusky figure darted In, and. ere the violinist realized the fact, was gone again. leaving behind no trace of her presence except a scepter of rose hollyhocks which she placed shyly on the table. Though Miss Powell has won much praise and applause since thoso days, perhaps none of her triumphs has given her more real pleasure than the floral offering of this black baby. performs only two functions ; it affords an airtight inner surface and a tough outer wearing surface.
