THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 3, 1907. L1KEA MAN-OF-WAR . Bark Homeward Bound Is as Neat-'as a Pin. FLIES AMERICAN FLAG lias C'ttrgo of Coal From Newcastle, but Is as Spick and Spun as an Atlantic Passenger Ship For merly Otto Glldemelster. With the appearance in the harbor of the American bark Homeward Bound. Captain Thompson, cornea a vis ion of byirone days, when the Ameri can fiagr floated over many wind-jammers and the fleet merchant ships fly ing the Stars and Stripes was a factor in the commerce of the world. The Homeward Bound la an American ship '. and is commanded by a captain who was schooled under the famous Sewall and whose ship is his pride. From stem to stern she is as clean as a new pin and a man-of-war would i have to hurry to beat her out in ap- . pearance. The Homeward Bound Is painted white and with the exception of the topgallant masts and the mizzen . topmast her spars are all of steel. At the Southern Pacific dock above the Steel Bridge she is sparred out six feet In accordance with the quarantine ; regulations, and every yard is braced ,. sharp up to starboard. The crew of the Homeward Bound was paid off yesterday and the manner ; in which they approached the Cus 1 toms officer bespoke the training they had received on the voyage from New castle. Each man lined up with hat r in hand and conducted himself as a . Bailor. This In marked contrast to the coastwise sailors and some others who by force of circumstances have been destined to receive their pay at this port. For the past six-years the Homeward , Bound has been flying the American , flag and has entered and cleared un der that name. She was built at Bel fast, Ireland, in 1885, and was chrls tened the Zemindar. Later she was sold to the Germans and renamed Otto Oildemeister. In 1800, wlille under charter to load 1 wheat at Portland for Kerr-Qtfford & '. Company, she became a conspicuous figure In shipping circles. She sailed , from Yokohama for the Columbia River and 75 days later appeared off San IMego, Cal.. in a dismasted condition. . At that time there was 90 per cent re , insurance on her. Shortly after leav ing the Japanese port there was a terrific storm and many vessels went to Davy Jones'. The Gildemeister went on the board for re-insurance and over $300. 000 was played on her. When she appeared off San. Diego she refused the services of a tug, but was later towed Into San Francisco harbor. : The amount of money played on her was enormous and the underwriters declared her a constructive total wreck. Experts declared that she : could be repaired for $25,000 and the ' law on constructive wrecks calls for $80,000. The matter was thrown into the courts and the underwriters won. Therefore, the vessel was allowed an American register. Captain Thompson who commands the Homeward Bound, is a master of the old school. He is a skipper in i every sense of the word. Of the old ; Sewall sailors there are few left. Cap ; tain Conway, now superintendent of water lines for the O. R. & N. Co.; : Captain T. J. Macgenn, of the Break water, and Captain James Watts, of Brown & McCabe, are representative of a fast-disappearing set of sailors. : l'RE'CH BARK BIDART FIXED " Chartered- for Cement From Antwerp ' and Grain Outward.- i The French bark Bldart has been chartered to load cement for Portland , at Antwerp and to carry grain from this port to the Continent for a re- turn voyage. The charter was made several days ago but the name of the . vessel was not made public until yes terday. The Bldart is a craft of 1731 net tons register and arrived at Limerick. October 4. with grain from Puget Sound. She is listed for April loading at this port. . Outward charters have been quiet for a veek past. This is largely due to v the financial situation as shippers cannot secure noney with which to clear ships and cargoes for the Continent. A change is looked for by the first of the week. LUMBER STEAMER CLEARS Steamship Invcrnan Carries a Full Load to Manila. Exports for the month of November commenced yesterday, when the British steamship Invernan, Captain Marshall, cleared for Manila, P. I., with '3,207,880 feet of lumber, valued at $54,394. She will leave down this morning. Lumber shipments for November bid fair to beat those of October. The Terje Viken will clear in the morning, and there are a number chartered for loading during the month. Schooner Garms Clears. ASTORIA, Or.. Nov. 2. (Special.) The i-hooner William F. Garms cleared at the .Custom House yesterday for Sydney, ' Australia, with a cargo of 1,247,560 feet of lumber and 1605 bundles of lath, loaded at the Knappton Mills. The Garms com' pleted her crew this afternoon by signing 11 new men and will be ready to go to sea as soon as the weather conditions are favorable. , Petrel Sinks In the Willamette. The steamer Petrel ran into a raft of boomsticks moored at the Penin sula Mill late Friday night and Bank in 15 feet of water. A large hole was torn In her starboard side. She sank so quickly that it was with difficulty that the crew escaped the boom. A wrecking outfit was sent down yester day and it Is hoped that the Petrel will be afloat by tomorrow. . Bailey Gatzert Arrives Down. The steamer Bailey Gatzert, which struck a rock near Washougal Friday morning, reached the drydock yester day under her own steam. Slie was raised and will be ready for service tomorrow. A large hole was torn in iier port side almost amidships. No - . frames were broken and only the 4 planking will have to be replaced. ', Wireless Pole Breaks. .. ASTORIA, Or., Nov. 2.-(Special.) An attempt was made by Birch & Jacobsen. the contractors, to raise the 250-foot pole for the wireless telegraph station that is being erected on the hiil in the west end of this city, but the middle section of the pole was. broken by the strain. This will delay the work for several days, as a new stick Is now being prepared to replace the broken one. Marine 'Votes. The French barks Tergot and La ennes left down yesterday.

C, November 4, 5 and 6, at tbe New Willard Hotel. The National Rivers and Harbors Con gress is the organization which did such effective work -at its annual meeting just prior to the last session of Congress and was given credit for being the greatest single factor in inaugurating the policy of the annual rivers anc; harbors appro priation of not iessSthan $50,000,000. The Rivers and Harbors Congress works for such appropriation' by the Government without regard to locality or project; its object being simply to have the Govern ment take care of the National water ways. " At the meeting held in 'Washington last December the. Portland Chamber of Com merce was represented by Governor Chamberlain, J. N. Teal and Philip Bueh ner. The dues to the Congress from the Chamber aggregate $1000 annually, but at the last session thd Chamber contributed $9000 In addition to the dues. As the Chamber realizes the importance of the work of the Congress, an equal sum will undoubtedly be contributed In addition to the regular dues. KISER HAS MOVED. Scenic Photos.- 248 Alder street.

THEY HAVE NO FEAR Onion-Growers Satisfied With Present Conditions. WILLING TO SELL SOME Statistics Collected as to the Unsold Crop Stagnation of the Hop Market Grain Prices Are Nominal. At the meeting of the Confederated Onion Growers') Association yesterday, entire confidence In the future of the market was expressed. It is realized that the present financial situation does not promote activity,, but tho growers expect the advance to be resumed as soon as money eases up. It was the consensus of opinion that some of the stock being held should be marketed. Si- AMERICAN BARK "HOMEWARD BOUND." A few sales were made during the week in the various sections. Reports were called for to determine the quantity of onions left, but as Sherwood was not represented, com plete Statistics could not be made up. Beaverton reported 7900 sacks left in that section. Cedar Mills raised a crop of 8000 sacks, of which 1500 sacks are gone, one car being shipped yesterday which was sold some time ago at 2 cents. At Tualatin there were 15,700 sacks raised and 6070 sacks have been shipped, 400 sacks going out this week. Scholls raised 4500 sacks, a good many of them of poor quality, and two car loads have been shipped out. Most of the onions grown at Woodburn were for seed and not over 1500 sacks of commercial onions are left there. ' One of the most encouraging fea tures of the situation., from the grow ers' standpoint, is the . fact that the ruling high prices have not brought in any considerable quantity of onions from other sections than the Willam ette Valley, clearly showing the excel lent statistical position of 'the Vally crop. Trade advices from San Francisco yesterday reported 'a weaker . feeling there because of liberal arrivals from the river, and $2.25 vas quoted as the top. BREWERS VIEW OF HOP MARKET. Large Fart of English Crop Consist ol Inferior Grades. v The London Brewers' Journal, of Oc tober 15, said: "The interval since our last monthly report has afforded ample opportunities for completing the ingathering of this season's crop, its sampling, sorting and Inspection, together ; with the fixing of prices on a sound and workaole basis. The net conclusion is that the entire crop is not above en average one in weight, and that a "considerahle proportion con sists of inferior, diseased and immature samples; the quantity of really choice qualities is, therefore, comparatively small. It is, however, but fair to add that there is a pretty good portion of sound marketable hops to be found among the Kent and Worcester growths, which should prove very useful for "coppering" purposes, and these are well supported where the sale value has been established. When first placed on show the new Eng lish hops met a fairly active demand at advancing rates, but the fancied rush to secure supplies was soon over; and on its becoming more fully known that brewers were still holding stocks of unused "year lings" and older hops, the market, about a fortnight ago, relapsed into a state of quietness, if -not inactivity, which has since continued to prevail. "Prices at the best, being only moderate, growers are by no'- means anxious to force sales, preferring to wait awhile for better prospects, as the production of home-grown hops is tacitly acknowledged to be an unremunerative business. In readjusting quotations of hops from the old to the- new scale of values no wide differences are apparent, the whole range, broadly speaking, being on much the same level as- hitherto, viz., between 'from 2 10s to 5 per cwt.. There are, never theless, quantities of low and undesirable sorts of new hops on hand, prices for which do not appear in our list, as there is at present no trade .doing ' in them, but should any inquiry spring up - the suppposed value of these hops would be from about. 40s to 50s. Ochrnse the mar ket closes firmly with prime and healthy hops in greatest favor." EOCAI. HO JL M-VKKKT IS LIFELESS. Lack of Keaoy Money Brings Buying- to a " ' ; . Stop. Not enough hop business was trans acted yesterday to make a market. Whether or not business will be lively when money again becdmes plentiful Is a question, as the Eastern fbuyers seem dis posed to take hold only at lower prices. Herman Klaber, who has had charge of the local office of Klaber, Wolf & Netter during the past week, went to Tacoma last night, and will return to Portland Monday. In their latest weekly trade letter, W. H. and H. Le May. of London, comment ing on the English official crop figures, said: "The last Government return of the weight of hops used by the brewers (Oc tober 1st. 1905. to September 3(Hh, 1906) was 571.008 cwts. Now, if weadd to this SO.OQO cwts. required by exporters, manu facturers of non-alcoholic drinks, yeast making, home brewers, etc., we have a total of 621.008 cwts. This leaves a short age of 246.879 cwta." ' Bloch Bros., hop merchants, of Kurem berg. report, under date of October-. 10: '"Since our last report, both home and export trades have bought quietly on our market, but considerable quantities of hops 'have been acquired, also for these accounts, in the growing districts. Stocks here are large, consisting for the most part of high-priced hops. Rates are some what lower than they were last month, however, the season having just begun only, a confident tone prevails on our market, and there is but one opinion that the bright, healthy hops grown this year will meet with a better demand be fore long." Adolf Heller, of Prague, writes as fol lows: "During the past fortnight business on the Saaz and the other Bohemian mar kets -was a very brisk one on account of the hops being quite sound and of good color. Iarge purchases have been ef fected for German breweries and other export purposes, especial for the U. S. A., and prices advanced all round from 10 to 1 1 ., 12 kronen, or about 10s per -cwt. The Bo hemian. districts under hop cultivation are so cleared as never before has been ex perienced at this time, of the season, about 90 per cent of the big crop being already taken from the grower. Qu.ie the contrast characterizes the Nuremberg hop market, which was all. the time flat, with declining prices for all diceolored, dis eased hops, and only prime qualities and choice ones maintained their value, but even these are not quite free of black blight." OREGON WOOLS IN EASTERN MARKETS Stocks Are Closely Sold I'd at Boston. Prices Hold Steady. The weak condition of the New Tork stock and financial markets has had effect, on the Eastern wool situation, according to the latest advices re ceived, the quieter conditions In the market being attributed to previous heavy trading. - n Oregon wools the fine staple end is becoming sold up rapidly. A recent transaction at Boston comprised 1000 bales at about 24c ia the grease. The ecoured cost ranges . from 70c to 72c. Valley wools are practically ' out of stock, recent transactions having cieunea up me supply. i-"or fine scoured there is a firmer feeling. Holders quite generally ask 70c for the top sort, and a sale- of 20,000 pounds at that price is reported. - FRESH FRUIT TRADE IS SLOW. Sample Box of Navel Oranges Shows Good Quality. The week, as might be expected, was a rather slow one in the fruit trade, but except for apples, prices were fairly well maintained. A sample box of new crop California navel oranges was received yesterday, and - for this stage of the season the quality was very good. Only a few grapes came in, ' and they were mostly bad. Three cars of New Jersey cranberries and one car of Wisconsins are on the way and will be here in time for the Thanksgiving trade. The potato market was very, weak yes terday and business was almost at a standstill. A San Francisco wire quoted Oregon Burbanks weak and lower at $1.10(g.30. i ' Butter .Prices' Hold Steady. The butter market holds steady at the recent decline, and unless there is a much greater slump In the East there may be no further lowering of prices here. The egg-trade was quiet yesterday, with the previous prices ruling. A considerable quantity of poultry came in- and .some of it had to be car ried over. . - Nominal Quotations In Grain Market. ..The wheat, oats and barley markets are inactive and the prices quoted are nominal. Wheat merchants are, of course, unable to say when they will be able to resume buying, and In tho meantime good progress la being made in clearing up the accumulation of supplies at this poin . .- 1 ' . . Advance in 'Sugar..-.. The local grocery Jobbers, Who Jiave been selling their sugar at cost, 'yes terday advanced quotations 10 cents per hundred on all grades. Changes ia Provisions. The new price list of provisions that will go into effect Monday will show declines of lc on bacon and c on hams. 1 Bank Clearings.
