The Modern Miller, of August 29, reported the crop outlook as follows: Heavy rains in Kansas and Nebraska have Inflicted serious damage to wheat -where not stacked, the greatest to the Nebraska crop. No loss In quantity Is reported, but a de cided lowering of the grade. Somewhat larg er offerings of hard -winter wheat, but of soft Winter are still extremely small. Prep arations for the next crop are progressing. In the Southern regions the crop is seeded and most of It up. May Injure Prunes. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Sept. 5. (Special.) A heavy rain In most parts of Clark Coun ty today and last night made the pruno- growers despondent, as the fruit has already shown signs of mold to quite a degree. The fruit will be apt to crack badly if the wet weather continues. The late hay crop in the river bottoms will suffer, as the hay is all cut and not yet taken care of. icrease. PORTLAND MARKETS.

The boat is now nearing completion at the dock of the "Wlllametto Iron "Works and in about two weeks will be ready for her trial trip. A large force of men is at work on her and this probably led to the supposition that Bhe is to enter the Co lumbia River cut rate fight. Joseph Pac quet. who is building the Telephone for the Arrow Navigation Company, says the other victim, sick and helpless, was shipped, to China on. the Kbrea and yes terday death claimed a third. Beri-beri to the lay eye closely resembles locomotor ataxia, and is just as surely fatal. Th.e Chinese on the Algoa have refused to vary their diet with the fresh meats and vegetables freely provided, and to the monotony of diet as much as the confin ing nature of their existence is ascribed much of their ill-health. A few days ago the chief cook and hla assistant sought relief from the irksome calm in a bloody duel, from which the subordinate emerged with a crimson col lection of carving-knife wounds. The knife wielder wasjplaced under arrest, and on Thursday was seni back to Hong Kong on the liner Korea. Meanwhile the Algoa still rises and falls with the tide of Mission Bay and those on board are killing time and training their lungs to assimilate the strong airs which arise from the sewage-tainted water and mingle in unhygienic combinations with tho breezes of Butchertown. BIO GERMAN STEAMERS, Only 41 Vessels Added to the Fleot This Year. The number of ships of the Gorman merchant marine of a tonnage of 1000 tons and more amounted to S46 last year, and has only Increased 30 this year, viz., in crease in steamers. 41; decrease in sailing vessels, U. The number of the crews of the whole fleet has, however, increased consider ably, being now 56,300 against 60,500 last year. The total tonnage shows a gain of nearly 250.000 ton3. as it is the tendonov of the times to build ships with-the largest practical tonnage.

Mr. Pac- j Kronprinz Wllhelm and Kaiser Wllhelm quet says the Telephone will be a faster boat than either the Arrow, Telegraph or Flyer, and he does not think the Spencer or the Hassalo, on this river, will be able to approach her in speed. The two Danes boats lett out yesterday. morning with big passenger lists. The Gatzert carried out 242 passengers and the Spencer 150. Neither of the companies look for a let-up in the traffic for some tlmo to come.

British Sinister Sees His Nation Has Hard Fight to Get Trade. LONDON, Sept 5. Tho report of the British Minister at Havana, -Mr. Carden, on the trade of Cuba for 1902, was issued today. He says: "Tho prospect of the reciprocity con vention between Cuba and the United States being eventually sanctioned by Congress has not failed to affect British trade by deterring Cuban merchants from accepting proposals to open business relations with British manufacturers. There can be no doubt that with or with out the reciprocity convention British merchants will have to bestir themselves if they wish to retain their present share of Cuban trade. "Combination alone Is likely to prove effective in maintaining our commercial position in this part of the world." Reviewing Cuban trade Mr. Carden says: "It Is encouraging to note the steady incrcaso in vegetables for export and the development of Cuba's resources other than tobacco and sugar."

TWO LONG PASSAGES. Hope About Abandoned for Safety of Arlstldcs and Helen Brewer. Every day that passes without word of the British ship Aristides being received increases the. gloom of those who.had faith' that she would arrive. For a fast ship, the Aristides is discouraging, to say the least. One hundred and two days ago she left Caleta Buena, Chile, for San Fran cisco, with a cargo of nitrate, and should have arrived 40 days ago, allowing for ordinary storms and the usual doldrums near the llne. Reinsurance on, the ship stands at 70 per cent, and rapid advances may be expected if she should not arrive. The Helen Brewer, out 1S4 days from Java for Delaware Breakwater, will prob ably go off the board within a week or ten days if she is not heard from. Faith such as has been shown in the safety of tne .Brewer among the speculators has not been exhibited since the posting of the German bark H. F. Glade, many months ago. But the fear Is growing that the speculators will meet another "Waterloo such as the Glade proved to be. ' 1 POTTER'S LAST TRIP. stenmer Will Terminate Her Sum mer Schedule Tonight. The steamer T. J.

The Britannic, between 1S74 and 1S99, made some 260 voyages between New York and Liverpool. She traveled about 1,800,000 miles, or enough to take her more than 70 times around the world. She car ried more than 200,000 passengers. During the Boer war she did transport duty for Great Britain. In 1900 she was selected to convey the Imperial corps which was sent out to es cort the Prince of Wales on his tour of the colonies. This was the end of her, military service, and since then she has been lying In Belfast. BERI-BERI ON THE ALGOA. Another Death From the Dread Dis ease on the Pacific Mall Boat. SAN FRANCISCO.
