THE SUNDAY OREGON! AX, PORTLAND, APRIL 5, I90S. NEW-CROP SHIPS NOT IN DEMAND TThTT A 7TT Y rn "Exporters Are Making No Fix tures at Rates Demanded by Sailing-Ship Owners. ii a r a. t r i t adoui rreseni nay Donu nivalin nil Ail FLOUR TRADE LOOKING UP TTeduetloii of Hates by Regular Line S(eainhi) Companies Will In crease Exports of Foodstuffs to the Orient Marine Notes, Chartering of sailing: craft for new crop loading has subsided and since the char ter of the fSrman ship Aster was an nounced, several days ago, there has boen additions to the list of vessels coming; this way. As yet there has been no steam tonnage, engaged for the new soaaoii business and all the sailing craft are for October, or November and, with the exception of the Aster, the rate has bcn the minimum of the association (27 shillings 6 penoe). During March and April, last year, thore was not a single charter for out ward loading of new crop grain and even as late as" June the exporters-would not take a vessel at even 25 shillings. The charter business this season Is a matter of much concern to the exporters. Last reason the rates went as hlffh as 33 hillings and 6 pence for sailing craft and over 40 shillings for atearners. What Uie steamer business will develop this yer is a matter of conjecture. Flour business between Coast ports and the Orient will be better than ever, owing to the cut in rat made by the regular Ulnes and the offerings of outside vessels at low rates. Officials of the Portland & Astatic Steamship Company say that . thrre is a large amount of space reserved on their vessels for flour and that each steamer will go out fully loaded. The first of the fleet which will take out flour under the new tariff will be the Arabia, which is due to roach Portland about the middle of the montl. The Arabia will sail with close to 60.0f0 barrels. The Numantia, the 'next vessel of the fleet, will proceed from Yokohama to San Fran cisco and discharge the overland freight at that port before proceeding1 to Portland.

S. is composed, and the method of combining and preparing them so that they build up and strengthen every part of the body, make it the best of all Spring tonics. S. S. S. is nature's medicine, free from all strong mineral mixtures, and made entirely of the healing, cleansing juices and extracts of roots and herbs; a safe and pleasant tonic for persons of any age. Almost every one feels bad in the Spring. Some have no particu lar ailment, but are debilitated, run-down and weak, and their systems are in a state of general disorder. The change in the seasons produces a like change in our bodies, and more is required from the blood, from which- source we receive our physical nourishment and strength, at this particular time than at any other. The refuse and impurities which naturally accumulate in our systems are not properly expelled in Winter, because those members whose duty it is to perform this work of drainage do not receive sufficient stimulation from bodily exercise, and therefore grow dull and sluggish in their action; nor is the skin as active in eliminating waste matters in cold weather. These Winter accumulations pollute the blood, and destroy its . nutritive qualities to such an extent that when Spring comes, and everything takes on new life, and we change our method of living, the circulation is so-weakened that it is unable to supply the increased demands of the system, and we suffer in consequence. Our physical machinery seems to tet "out of gear," and suffers from weakness, nervousness, loss of appetite, lassitude, etc. ; sleep is not refreshing, there is a constant worn-out feeling, and we do not feel able to perform the ordinary duties of daily life. This disordered con dition demands the use of a tonic which has the additional qualities of a first-class blood purifier, for to restore health and strength the blood must be purified and built up to its normal, rich condition. S. S. S. is not only the best Spring tonic, but its ability and worth as a "genuine blood purifilr, is universally recognized. It goes right down into the circulation and meets -every demand for a tonic and blood purifier. S. S. S. removes all accumulations, impurities, and waste matters from the circulation, enriches and purifies the blood, and brings about a healthy change throughout the entire system. S. S. S. rids the body of that worn-out, run-down feeling, improves the appe tite and digestion, reinvigorates every fibre and tissue of the body, and Imparts healthy energy and strength to those who are suffering from the unpleasant conditions which always come with Spring. S. S. S. does not contain any form of mineral ingredient, and those who are in need of a tonic, whether for old or young, would do well to remember this. S. S. S. is for sale at all drug stores. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. Last Spring I nasd S. S. 8., and I believe it to be a very fine remedy indeed. Iffy blood was weak and impure, and my reneral ay. tern In a run-down condition. I had dizsy spells, my appetite was not rood, and I bad but little life and enerr? abont me. reeling; so badly X decided that something- had to be done, so I commenced the use of S. S. 8. I began to feel better from the start. My ap petite picked up, the dlszy spells left me, and I rained six pounds in weight. It raye me rich, pore blood and built up my general health. It is atf excellent remedy, and worthy of all praise. W. JS. CRABB. 319 B. Elm St., Lima, Ohio. .The difference between a certificate of stock and a bond is important. A bond is a definite promise to pay with a definite rate of interest. To insure payment of the bond as well as the in terest, the assets of the company issu ing the bond are pledged. The property of the company is mortgaged; the mort gage is placed in trust and the' bonds are issued by the trust company, hold ing the mortgage of the company as a guarantee of the payment of the bonds and the interest thereon. A certificate of stock is merely a participating inter est in the company issuing the stock. The stockholder is frequently liable, to the full amount of his stock, for the payment of bonds issued by the com pany in which he is a stockholder. A striking difference between the holding value of a bond and stock is the fact that the Government, during the recent stringency, w.as willing to and did take railroad bonds as security for money loaned by the National Treasury. Stock in a railroad company was not dignified by such confidence. A still more con venient feature about a bond is not al ways true of stock; it is readily con vertible into cash. Still more, bond in terest is due and collectible at stated times; it must be paid -and usually is paid promptly. Dividends irom stock are manipulative and a dividend declar ation is entirely at the discretion of a board of directors. Not so with bonds. This interest must be paid or the assets forfeited. OCEAN SHOR RAILWAY CO BONDS ARE NO EXCEPTION TO THE GENERAL RU If you had a note, bearing 5 per cent in terest, extending over a period of 35 years, interest payable semi-annually, backed bv all of the assets of the OCEAN SHORE RAILWAY COM PANY, signed by its proper officials, you could have no better security bu earth for your monej-. That, in sub stance, is the proposition in a nutshell.. Such is an OCEAN SHORE BOND. These bonds are $100, par value, and can be purchased from us at $92 for cash in full or $96 on terms, payable $16 down and $10 per month. The terms are such that any man whose income will permit him to invest $10 a month can own RAILWAY BONDS, drawing splendid interest. No matter who you are, where you live, what your occupa tion or why yrou do it, an investment in bonds is the most certain security for your idle funds that you can find. The leading financiers of the United States will tell j-ou so. Better call or -send for free information about this excellent investment. MORRIS BROTHERS ROOM 6, CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
