GRAIN RATES UNCHANGED Shipments Will Be Forced by Way of w Tork and Sues to Far East Through Recent Ac tion of Railroads. v-- 1 .11 4rttnB-TAclfic steam hip oompanles operating regular steamers will raise rates on all ship ments originating- in the East. Rates on wheat and flour from Pacific Coast ports has not been changed since the last meeting or me oaai 8' raise on grain shipments to Oriental intn rfaet September 1 and amounted to $1 a ton. As a conse quence the recent action, eriecuve No vember 1, will not seriously affect the Pacific Coast cities. J. Walter Ransom, local agent of the Ban Francisco Portland Steamship 'Company, has returned from a meeting of the agents, which was held In Seat tle last week. He says that after No vember 1. the Pacific Companies ex pect very little business from the East ern section of the United States. From ' ; that time on all will be sent via New iTork and the Sues. Operators on the ! Atlantic board are not hampered by the rulings of the Interstate Commerce 'Commission. The increase made by the steamship officials was forced by the railroads, which had Increased their pro portion on the -through rate and left 'the steamships practically nothing on "the basis of a through rate from East 'ern points, to both China and Japan. STEAMER SCVERIC IS IS PORT British Tramp Will Load Iumber tot Ports in the Orient. Bhe British steamship Suverlc. Cap tain W. Shotton. has entered at the .local Customs-House with a part cargo loaded on Puget Sound. She will finish here and proceed to the Orient. The Sfuverlc will take lumber. She will be J the first vessel to report here from a 'trouble port since the agreement be tween the stevedoring firms and the (longshoremen was signed. The Suverlo will receive prompt attention. The Suverlc loaded in Portland over a year ago. She was then in command iot her present master. Captain Shotton, !who is known the world over as the J"boy captain." He earned the title when an apprentice by navigating the old 'Trafalgar, a British ship on which he was an apprentice, into Melbourne, after all the officers had succumbed to the lever. ; Steamers Delayed hy Heavy Fogs. The German steamship Numantla, .from Hongkong and way ports, via Ban Francisco, and- the British steam (ahlp Beechley, from Puget Sound, both of which have been due in the river 'for 24 hours, have failed to put in an 'appearance. Fogs have no doubt been responsible for the detention of the ships, which are coming to Portland. The Numantla will load a full cargo .out and the the Beechley will go on the drydock for repairs. French Alien Sent to France, Inspector R. E. Hussey, of the Im migration Bureau, left yesterday for .New Tork in charge of Fernanda iltinault, a resident of France, who had 'been ordered deported from this coun jtry for leading an Immoral life.

IX The chance ' remark of a Sergeant of Artillery at Fort Meyer during the aeroplane flights of Orrllle Wright was the basis for a discussion of one of the Important feat ures of the Government Interest In the aerial craft for war purposes. The dis cussion took place at a dinner tendered to Mr. Wright by Naval officers. Said the Sergeant: "Airships are no good to launch a shell from -because you can't get the centrifugal force' that ' Is necessary to hit an object." The idea which the noncommissioned officer intended to convey was that the whirling motion given a shell by a modern steel-bore gun could not be ac complished in dropping an explosive hell from an airship. The main facts brought out In the rtlar-uaalnn of the aeroplane as an in- 'srtTiiT"T"t At was war lbX v inaciilnaj such as that of the Wright brothers would be craetieally invulnerable as a target for the enemy's guns. With a little target practice an explosive could be dropped on a war vessel with dam aging results and it is also believed that the aerial war craft could be launched from the deck of a battleship. The merits of launching an explosive from a gun was then discussed. Mr. Wright said there would not be a sui flclent "kick" to cause the aeroplane to diverge from its course. A shell could be dropped into the funnel of a war ship, causing terrible damage to the machinery and completing Its work of destruction by bursting the boilers. It was suggested by one of the officers present that attacks could be made by a number of aeroplanes, as is now done by the torpedo-boats. It was pointed out that the greater cheapness of the aero plane and the fact that but one life for each ship would be sacrificed would make these attacks much more econom- TXAXXB EtTEIXIGEMCB.

Funds Are Being Used to Move the Crops Loans Larger Than Expected. - NEW TORK, Sept. 12. The Financier will say: The statement of the Associated Banks of New Tork City, for the five buslneas days included in the week ended September 12, showed a very large expansion In loans and deposits. with a shrinkage of 12,900,000 In cash. The result of the changes noted brought a decrease in the surplus re serve of $6.S21.150. this being based on actual conditions, not averages. The decrease in cash had been anticipated, as the banks are now for the first time this season losing money to the inter ior, notably to the South, for crop- moving purposes. The movement has been very much delayed this year, but now that it has started, it is reason able to suppose that the banks will re port shipments to the interior for some time to come. The expansion of $38,351,300 in loans, Ith a corresponding Increase of $13,- 683,800 in deposits, was rather unex pected and cannot be attributed alto gether to stock exchange requirements. Money has been showing a rather higher degree of firmness than noted for some time past, and while the sur plus reserve, based on actual condi tions. Is still $50,420,625, some, bankers look for a continued hardening In rates. The summaries of the state banks and trust companies in Greater New York not reporting to the New Tork Clearing-House show very small changes in the totals for the week. The cash reserve of the Associated Banks is 28.72 per cent, the reserve of the trust companies Is 31.89 per cent, of which per cent Is in the form of cash in vaults, and the reserve of the state banks is 30.66 per cent, of which 12.77 per cent is In the form of caeh in vaults. It will be seen, therefore, that the strength of the financial institu tions of New Tork is still on a very much higher average than usual. The statement of averages of the clearing-house banks for the week (five days) shows that the banks hold $51,992,825 more than the requirements of the 25 per cent reserve rule. This is a decrease of $7,652,125 in the pro portionate cash reserve as compared with last week. The statement of av erages follows: Increase. .$1,322,780,600 $21,Mt,100 . 1.420.061.900 17.-t20.S00 o4.483.100 230.700 SO.eW.TOO 722,100 . 826.611.800 2.674,900 . 856,016,476 4.366,125 M. 962.825 T,6fi2,129 S4.338.S90 7.6t8,123 Loans Deposits Clrculatloa Legal tenders Specie Rsservo required Surplus Ex-U. 6. deposits.

NEW HOP OFFERS Eight Cents Said to Have Been Bid for Clusters. BALING IS . IN PROGRESS Quality of the Oregon Crop-Is the Finest for Many Tears Fruit Market Is Glutted Grain Trade Quiet. It .was reported from Independence yesterday that S cents had been bid for 110 bales of choice clusters. The offer was said to have come from Horst & Co., of London. If this news is correct it practically establishes the opening market for late hops on the 8 cent oasis, which agrees with the predictions made by many hopmen. No actual transac tions in the later variety have been an nounced yet. Baling has only begun and It Is not probable that any com plete crop has been baled yet. Five lots of Fuggles were reported sold at Salem yesterday, 62 bales belonging- to J.'C Fletcher, at 7 cents, and 22 bales by Crolsan at IK cents. Some of the. Eastern correspondents of local dealers write that they hear from Oregon that mold and red spider are. making their appearance in certain sections of the state and that there is a likelihood the crop will be damaged by these pests. It Is true that in the most favored seasons eome trace of mold may be found, and red spider has long been known on this Coast, but this Is no reason for giving the Oregon crop a black eye. This year, of all others, such reports should not be sent out, for the crop now being harvested is as near perfect as it can be. At the low current prices there is not much in it for the growers, and they should not have to' suffer further because of false rep'orts of poor quality. Similar reports have been circulated in the East in the past three or four years and have cost the state thousands of dollars each year and Injured the reputation Of the Oregon hop crop! This same scheme was worked In Washing ton so strongly that it is now almost' impossible to sell hops of that state, except in the bale, and even then the buyers feel, because of the mold and spider repjorts, even if the samples look good, that there must be some mold or effects of the red spider in the crop, and they make their offers accordingly. The same thing is likely to occur In Oregon unless the efforts of those who are trying to Injure the reputation of the state are checked. Enough samples of the new crop have been received to show that the Oregon yield of 1908 la the finest that has been grown In many years. Whatever prices rule in the Pacific Coast market, Ore gon hops should sell at the very top. Ironmonger, of London, yesterday cabled to Isaac Plncus & Sons, of Ta coma, as follows: "Weather Is rather unsettled, weatn- er is unfavorable for harvesting. Crop Is coming down above the average. Crop prospects indicate better quality than last year. Estimates unchanged. Mar ket quiet but steady.". . ALL GRAIX MARKETS ARE BLOW. Weaker Tone to Wheat at the Board of Trade. A weaker tone was apparent in the wheat bidding at the Board of Trade. For September 90 was offered and 92 bid. Oats and barley were firmer. The spot markets were reported quiet. Receipts for the day were 61 cars wheat. 17 cars oats, 13 cars barley, 1820. sacks flour and 16 cars hay. The range of futures was as follows: (F. O. B. warehouse, Portland.) WHEAT. . Oen. High. Low.

IHTJIT MARKET BADLY OVERSTOCKED Receipts Entirely Too Heavy for the Last Day of the Week. The fruit market was badly glutted with peaches, apples, pears and canta loupes yesterday. On any other day In the week they mlsht have been moved to advantage, but coming In on a Saturday, they could hardly be moved at all. The total peach arrivals for the day were one car and 3549 boxes. A good part of this was still on hand when the hours for business were over. Prices were naturally very weak, fancy stock going at 60 cents and other kinds at 40 to 60. Pears were quoted all the way from 25 to 76 cents, the latter for hard green stock. The top of the cantaloupe market Lemons declined 60 cents. The Cali fornia market is very weak, as a result of a bad break in prices in the East. F.KX Market Very Finn. There were no changes in country produce yesterday, and trade on the whole was dull. Eggs were held firmly at 2829 cents for candled ranch stock. Not much poultry came In and prices were unchanged. The butter market generally was firm. Bank Clearings.

ESTABLISHED IMS :BROKERS STOCKS BONDS --GRAIN Booxht and sold far cash ao4 aa rnarrta. TO Interspersed in our thousands of cash 'orders for "National Stock" from investors all over the world are many requests for us to buy and carry "National Stock" on margin. To accommodate this class of buyers we have entered into an arrangement with "National Stock" whereby we will sell to our customers through the open market, and at the open market price, any part of 500,000 shares on the following terms: 50 per cent mar gin on any amount from 500 to 1000 shares and 25 per cent margin on any amount over 1000 shares, with 6 per cent per annum interest on unpaid balances, our only charge being the regular market commission, the same as on cash orders. - In making this offer, it should be borne in mind we will not buy and carry on margin any less than 500 shares, for it is not our desire, nor the desire of the "National Stock" management, to encourage margin buy ing, but we will margin purchases in the case of regular seasoned stock market speculators or brother brokers. In other words, while "National Stock" is securing millions of investors to aid in the carrying out of its plans, we will offer every facility to speculators, that " National Stock " may compete in every way with System stocks. "We take this occasion to express our thanks to the public for the enormous. business they have sent us on "National Stock" and to assure all who have bought and who have not yet received their certificates that they will receive them at the earliest possible moment. Notwithstanding we have an extra office force working day and nighV it will be some three weeks longer before we will be caught up on orders and certificates. We call the attention of any client who has not yet received his cer tificate to the fact that its non-receipt should make no material difference with his investment, for if he wishes at any time before he receives his certificate to sell his stock we will dispose of it the same as though he had had his certificate and remit to him the prbceeds of the sale. We also call the attention of brokers throughout the country to the misinterpretation of a notice contained in the "National Stock" pamphlet to the effect that all orders for "National Stock" should be sent to New York or Boston Stock Exchange or Curb houses. Mr. Lawson authorizes us to state that he intended this to mean that would-be buyers should give their orders to those brokers in their vicinity who had business connec tions with any New York or Boston Stock Exchange or Curb house. We solicit the business of all reputable brokers1 throughout the country, and assure them the same quick and reliable service which we give to clients direct. A CHARLES C. CLAPP & COMPANY BANKERS AND BROKERS 19 CONGRESS STREET, BOSTON FORGED EGGS TOO HIGH MARKET DROPS BACK TO 34 AT SEATTLE. Abundance of Eastern Stock Causes Weakness Fruit Cleans TJp With Price-Cuttlng. SEATTLE!, Wash., Sept., 12. (Special.) Although several dealers have at vari ous times during; the week tried to force up the price of eggs, the market was weak today, and all efforts to get 36 cents were abandoned. Most sales were made on a basts of 84. There has been a sharp falling- off In the demand, and this, taken with the large quantities of cheaper Eastern eggs, both - fresh and storage, operated to keep prices down. Butter Is steady. Poultry closed weak today, with some stock carried over. Prices . were sacrificed on fruits to clean up tonight. As a result of price cutting, the street Is better cleaned up than It has been this week. There was nothing doing In wheat today. PORTLAND LIVKSTOCK MARKET.

I have an established reputa tion in Portland, which I hold as a priceless asset. I undertake only curable cases, and when I promise a cure I guarantee It, and my busi ness standing and bank references assure the patient that my guarantee is absolutely binding. I do not think I can show better faith In my ability and methods than my unqualified offer to patients. , . . . Many a youth of splendid promise has failed because cf some weakness, the nature of which made him delay seeking medical aid until H had become serious, and greatly Injured his life s opportunities. I have seen thousands of these cases, and have heard the story of their suf fering. Usually there Is also a history of In competent treatment by family doctors, patent medicines, electric belts and unprincipled medi cal institutes and so-called "specialists." Results Are the Only Test I make definite claims for my methods of treating Men's Diseases. I claim originality, distinctiveness, scientific correctness and unap Proached success. Every one of the.,e claims is backed by substantial proof The best evidences of superiority are the cures themselvee My treatment cures permanently those cases that no other treatment can b'patfs men wo" SZ i?.b?I2 fiS.Kn.t$f PAY WHEN CURED My Fee for a Cure Is Only - : $10 IN ANY SIMPLE AILMENT ran iit reasonable man desire a more fair test of my methods thaa to let me care him first a-d pay the bill when he Is wellf No man could be fairer than that. I take all the risk. You take none whatever. Tou have everything to gain and absolutely nothing to lose. WEAKNESS. I have a treatment for men's weakness which is entirely out of the line of the stimulants and tonics which for a long time was the only help that physicians had to offer for such conditions. Being all the treatment known to the ordinary physician and all that was mentioned in medical text books from which such disorders were studied, its frequent failure to give help caused many honest and well - meaning physicians to admit that there was nothing to help a man whose virile power was declining. But my exhaus tive studies in the specialties of Men's Weakness proved conclu sively to me that this class of dis order in about nine cases out of ten is due to an affection of the nerves of the prostate gland, or to a disturbance of the blood sup ply to this Important organ. Treatments must be given to the affected part. It must be local and direct. It must be the right treatment, and the action of the medication must be minutely understood. Then the result is never in doubt for a minute, and the cure Is as permanent as It is absolute. ' SPECIFIC BLOOD POISOJT. I cure this leprous disease com pletely. The system is thoroughly cleansed and every poisonous taint removed. The last symptom van ishes to appear no more, and all is accomplished by the use of harm less, blood-cleansing remedies.

By Varicocele we understand a twisted, hardened and knotted con dition of the veins carrying the blood from the appendages. This Is a very common Complaint and Is produced by various causes. It seldom causes any rapid decline, but undermines insidiously and weakens the sufferer in both mind and body. The stagnant blood In the affected veins seriously Inter- rupts the blood supply of the organs, and often is the cause of reflex symptoms which are not easily recognized. The ordlnsry physician advises an operation for varicocele, and knows of no other treatment. The sufferer must pay a good fee, besides the loss of time and the extra hospital bills. By my Improved methods I use no knife, cause no pain, nor loss, of time from businetis. My treatment is scientific, thorough permanent and never falls. It will pay every man suffering from Varicocele to investigate before considering other treatments. STRICTURE. Surgery is not only harsh, pain ful and dane-erous. but is entirely unncecessary in the treatment of stricture. I employ a painless method by which the obstructing tissue is dissolved and all the membranes of the organs in volved thoroughly cleansed and restored to a healthy state.
