THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN. PORTLAND, JULY 3, 1910.

WIRELESS IS DUE
Vessels Must Be Equipped
by July 1,
DISTANCE TO BE 200 MILES
Act of Congress Does Xot Apply to
Steamers Plying Between Ports
Iiess Than 200 Miles Apart.
Fine to Be Imposed $5000.
Thougrh certain passengers on the
Bteamer Eureka were unaware of the
Jact, Congress had already enacted a
measure compelling ocean-going pas
senger vessels to be provided with
wireless apparatus when they peti
tioned Washington to bring about the
same statute.
The text of the new law, which be
; comes effective in one year, was yester
' day received in Portland. It provides
' that its sections must be complied with
' by July 1. 1911. Vessels of the American
fleet or those of any foreign country
carrying passengers to the number of
60, including the crew, are prevented
from leaving any port in the United
States without first being equipped
with apparatus for radio communica
tions capable of transmitting and re
ceiving messages a distance of 100
miles, day or night.
Distance Must Be 2 00 Miles.
The act does not apply to steamers
plying between ports less than 200
miles distant.
Further than having a plant and "an
efficient wireless operator, owners of
steamers coming under the law are
compelled to exchange messages with
shore and ship stations as far as prac
ticable. For failing to comply with the
measure a maximum fine of $5000 may
be imposed, the same to become a lien
against the craft.
It is to be enforced by collectors of
customs under the direction of the
Secretary of the Department of Com
merce and Labor.
The matter of exchanging messages
Is one to be passed on by masters of
vessels and it is assumed that such
a proviso was included to prevent pas
sengers unnecessarily alarmed in rough
weather from sending messages written
under the stress of excitement.
Few Without Wireless.
Few craft plying out of this port on
Jong coast runs are without wireless,
even the oiltank steamers having the
equipment, and Its use during the past
two years has demonstrated its value
at(5n the last trip of the big steamer
Beaver an occasion arose on the first
afternoon out of San Francisco for
obtaining certain information from the
Bay City office. A query was sent in
the afternoon and a reply received be
fore sunset.
In addition, passengers are permitted
to communicate with relatives and
friends ashore on a basis of $1 for a
ten-word aerogram and the service
has become so generally used at Bea
that commercial business is improving
each month.
TENDER ECHO SHOWS SPEED
Engine Develops 1S6 Horsepower on
Vessel's First Trip.
With Captain "Jim" Shaver at the
wheel. Captain Del Shaver acting as
pilot, Drake O'Reilly, of the Diamond O
fleet, making suggestions as to the river
courses and how the craft should be
provisioned for special service, the J9000
launch Echo, commissioned as flagship of
the Shaver Transportation Company's
fleet, was yesterday officially tested on
the Willamette.
The engine, which was built for 100
horsepower but which develops 136-horse-power.
was turned over at a rapid clip
and the tender easily made 12 nailes, with
promises that she can add two more to
thespeed limit when in use a short
time. On six miles over a measued course
ahe was timed in 30 minutes and 65
seconds.
The Echo -is 60 feet over all, has a
beam of 12 feet, and draws five feet of
water. She is intended as a dispatch
boat, and besides carrying orders to the
Bteamers towing In the lower river, will
be used to transport boom sticks and
light tows.
COURTESY
DELAYS BEAVER
Two Trunks and Eternal Feminine
Cause I joss of 1 0 Minutes at Dock.
One woman with two trunks stalled
the Harriman steamship service yes
terday, for her inability to get her be
longings aboard the Beaver for a short
time caused that good ship to be 10
minutes late in swinging clear from
Alnsworth dock.
The departure of the Beaver on her
first trip to San Pedro took on the as
pect of former days, when the sailing
of a San Francisco steamer was an
event of the week on the front. She
was thronged on all decks, while
packed on the outer edge of the en
tire dock was a mass of friends bidding
' bon voyage to passengers. It was as
Captain Kidston was about to order
the lines cast off that the woman with
the trunks appeared and the skipper
' was disappointed In not beginning the
aew schedule with railroad promptness.

BAD LOTS BURRED
Infected Fruit Ordered De
stroyed by Inspector.
LAW RIGIDLY ENFORCED
San Jose Scale Found on Idalio Apri
cots and Culifomia and Oregon
Apples Received by
Front Street.
County Fruit Inspector J. E. Stansbery
has had a busy week of it watching the
heavy fruit arrivals on the local market
and putting his stamp of disapproval on
such shipments as he found to be Infected
with Insect diseases. The largest shipment
condemned was a part car of apricots that
came in from Lewiston, Idaho. They were
badly attacked by San Jose scale and the
Inspector ordered them to be at once de
stroyed. The remainder of the car he
passed, as the fruit, though small in size
and poor, was not diseased.
Much surprise was expressed that tho
Idaho growers;-' who are capable of turning-
out the finest kind of fruit, should al
low such a bad lot pf apricots to be shipped.
They have now found out, however, . that
there is an Inspection law rigidly enforced
In this market and will probably send noth
ing to Portland In the future that does not
come up to the standard. (
A shipment of new California apples was
also condemned by Inspector Stansbery, who
declared that the lot showed the worst
case of San Jose scale he has ever seen In
this market. A small shipment of new ap
ples from Mosler was likewise found to
bo scaly and he ordered the fruit destroyed.
SLOW TRADING IN HOP MARKET.
Crop Conditions Are Still Good in Nearly All
Sections.
It -was reported yesterday that in the past
two days about 300 bales of hops had
changed hands, of which 200 bales were for
English account. The prices paid were from
S to 12 cents, but the details of the transac
tion were not made public'
Cables received from London said the
weather in England was still cold and show
ery, but the growers were not alarmed by
the prospect of vermin.
A cable from Bernhard Bing, of Nurem
berg, was aa follows: "Weather wet anil
unpropltious. Crop prospects are less fa
vorable." Crop conditions in New "i'ork State, as
given by the Waterville Times of June 2S:
'Hops in this vicinity are making a satis
factory growth. In the majority of th
yards the vines are at the tops of the poles
and are arming out well. The weather has
been favorable and the yards have greatly
Improved during the past week or two, but
it is not expected at the present time that
there will be a large crop, owing chiefly to
the unevenness before reported in the old
yards. These latter are far from up to their
average. The crop, however, promises to be
of excellent quality, as the vines are clean
and healthy and free from pests of all
kinds." i
MORE LIFE IN THE OATS MARKET.
Wheat Trade Tied Up by Refusal of Haid
ers to Sell.
It was to all intents and purposes a holi
day in the local wheat market yesterday.
The Eastern exchanges were closed for the
day and no public cables came from abroad.
Locally the situation remained as it has
been throughout the week. There was some
demand for wheat, but there were no sell
ers. Friday's prices were again quoted by
dealers.
The oats market is showing a little more
life and firmness, but the demand is by no
means general and supplies appear to be
ample. Some business at $2t5.50 was re
ported yesterday. Barley was still dull.
Local receipts, in cars, were reported by
the Merchants Exchange as followi:

BITTER PRICES WILL BE ADVANCED.
Northern Orders Are Coming: In Strong and
There Is No Surplus.
There is little doubt that butter prices
will be advanced the middle of the coming
week. The market throughout has been
strong without any surplus available and
now orders from the north are coming in
In such volume that they cannot all be
filled. The creamery men ' will hold a
meeting Tuesday Bight to decide what ac
tion to take. It is probable that prices will
be advanced 1 or 2 cents. The market
would have been raised before this but for
the fact that the cool weather has inter
fered with the ice-cream trade and in that
way furnished more cream for butter-making
purposes.
There was a strong poultry market yes
terday and a good many more crops than
were received could have been disposed of.
Hens sold readily at 17 4 cents and Springs
at 22 cents.
Egg receipts are steadily falling off and
the market is quoted firm at 27 cents.
FRONT STREET TRADE CLEANS UP.
Soft Fruit 'I'rlc-e Shaded, but Others Are
Well Maintained.
The fruit business yesterday was largely
of a cleaning up nature. In their efforts
to get rid of all soft fruits before the holi
day, dealers found It necessary to slash
such offerings, but the prices of hard fruits
were maintained.
A good many crates of small fruits had
to be carried over. The best loganberries
sold at $1.40 and from that figure prices
scaled down below the dollar mark. Good
raspberries were held at $1.40J1.50 and
blackberries at $1.50.
Sound cantaloupes were firm at $2.25,
but soft stock sold at $1.50(1.75 per crate.
Some Northern California cantaloupes in
boxes were received and held at $1.50 per
box. Firm watermelon a (i vines from the
south kept the local market steady.
The Front-street houses kept open three
hours later than usual on Saturday. They
will be pen- Monday morning to receive
perishable arrivals.

SEATTLE. Wash.. July 2. (Special.)
City business handled by commission men
today was about the largest ever done in
one day. Pleasant weather, coupled with
the coming double holiday, together with
large stocks of perishables to clean up, re
sulted In a trade that has seldom been
equalled on Western avenue. Heavy ship
ments of Wenatchee apricots are expected

fused on track here today on account of its
poor condition. . Peaches sold at $1 a box.
Lemons were higher. The fanciest will be
quoted at $rV 8 Tuesday and choice at
$6.50 7.
Good cabbage Is scarce at 2Vi2H cents.
Tomatoes are also scarce.
The buying price" of ducks and Springs
will be cut a cent a pound In the country
next week. Young ducks will be quoted at
16 cents, old at 14, large hens at 16 and
small hens at 14. Springs weighing one
pound or over will be quoted at 18. The
supply of Springs and hens was so heavy
today that leading dealers were compelled
to go to dressing and in that way cleaned
up. Eggs were steady but pushed to the
background by the activity of poultry.

today from the Ellensburg district. The hay
was in fair shape. Regular shipments are

New York 'Weekly Rank Statement
Reflects tlie Payments In
Sharp Changes.
NEW YORK, July 2. The Financier will
say :
The Associated Banks of New York City,
according to the statement of actual condi
tions published Saturday, lost within the
week about two-thirds of their reserve, the
surplus standing July 2 at $8,699,300, com
pared with over $25,000,000 reported the
week previous.
The striking- feature of the current week
was a decrease of approximately $19,000.
000 in specie and legal tenders. This was
three times the amount Indicated by the
preliminary estimates, based on known tran
sactions with the Interior and the Sub
treasury. The heavy decrease is due
probably to complications connected with the
enormous July 1 dividend disbursements,
which broke all former records.
There was some surprise also at tho in
crease of J9.S13.800 in loans, as the logical
tendency, based on the week's business, was
toward contraction rather than expansion
In this Item. Deposits fell (3,995,800 as a
result of the operations noted above dnd
the cash reserve In the banks is now only
25.76 per cent, as against 27.11 per cent
for the previous week.
The statement, based on averages, showed
an expansion of $15,755,000 In loans, a de
crease of little over VS. 000. 000 in cash and
a decrease of $9,956,175 in reserve, making
the surplus, figured on the average basis,
$18,918,450. The actual statement, how
ever, more acurately describes the position
of the banks.
The summary of state hanks and trust
companies In Greater New York, not report
ing to the Clearing-House shows unim
portant changes, the principal ones bclnir
an increase of a little over $2, 000,000 In
loans and an increase of $5,500,000 in de
posits. The statement of averages of the Clear-ing-House
