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

SAN FRANCISCO, July 7. 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.

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. The snogboat has j
not been here this season, and from all i
appearances she will not be here. The I
river is about 12 Inches above low water J
and going down rather slowls'.

The transport Lennox made a good run
down the river and cronsed out At Astcrla
yeo'erday morning less than 12 hours after
leaving Portland.

was taking wheat off the lower dock, and

June 16 is "The Trotting Horse of Amer
ica." 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

CASH HOLDINGS REDUCED
NEW YORK BANKS SHOW A
.OF NEARLY 93,000,000.
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. United States old
4s advanced ft, tho 4s and 6s , and re
funding 2s, when Issued, in tho bid
price.

THE HOP SITUATION.
Grovrer Believes Better Methods of
Cultivation Shonld Be Followed.
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-

ters have turned out as. they now stand.
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

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.
