amounted to $1 a ton. As a conse
quence the recent action, eriecuve No

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.

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

SHELLS FROM AIRY NAVIES
r-JOrrille Wright Explains How Battle-
ships May Be Destroyed
WASHINGTON', Sept. 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-

MONEY GOES TO INTERIOR
STrRPITJS RESERVE OF JEW
YORK BAXKS IS DECREASED.
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:

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.

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.

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

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

I CURE. MEN
And My Cures Are Thorough
and Lifelong
I have been treating men, and men only, for
over 25 years. 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

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.
I Also Cure Hydrocele, Stricture,
Contracted Diseases, Etc. .

VARICOCELE.
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.
