JULY CARGOES BIG
Lumber Carriers Again
Gathering in Port.
Are
CEREAL SHIPMENTS HEAVY
Mill Froducts and Grain Promise to
Make This Good Month on Port
land Waterfront Record of
Last Year' May Fall.
Lumber carriers are again gather
ing in port. Heavy shipments of cereal
are assured this month and large car
goes of mill products will help to swell
the July total.
The first arrival yesterday to figure
in the fleet that will carry lumber to
other than Pacific Coast harbors was
the schooner Robert Searles, hailing
from Honolulu, which 1s to leave up
today to load at the Portland mill for
'the return voyage. The British
steamer Colusa, under orders to load
for the Panama Canal, arrived in the
river after the Searles. The British
steamer Harpalyce, chartered by the
Royl Mail line to load for the Far
Kast, reached the river at midnight and
was under way from Astoria at 6
o'clock, reaching here in the afternoon.
She will work a small amount of lum
ber, taking general cargo mostly for
tne Orient.
The Danish steamer Arabien is here
working 4,000, 000 feet of lumber for
t-hlna; the schooner Sehome is load
ing at the Portland mill for Chile; the
barkentlne Lahalna will be in the har
bor next week to load for South Africa
and others are due to Join the lumber
fleet. Vessels that have cleared this
month with whole or part cargoes of
lumber have been the Japanese steamer
frenju Maru, for Tslngtau, with 3.255,-
b80 feet; barkentlne Amazon, for Val
paraiso, with 1,200,000 feet; Norwegian
(learner Arna, for Swansea and Lon
don, 1,500,000 feet: Falls of Orchy and
fiaxonla for the Orient with parcel lots,
and the schooner Kona, for Callao, with
700.000 feet.
In July, 1912. 6,780,253 feet was ex
ported and 11,283,000 feet went to do
mestic ports, and the indications are
that the present month's total to all
ports will show an appreciable advance.
I-rXCIiEOX
ABOARD
COLUSA
iraoe & Co. Will Entertain Shippers
on 'ew Vessel.
Through the Chamber of Commerce
invitations have been issued by W. R.
Grace & Co. to shippers for a compli
mentary luncheon to be given aboard
the British steamer Colusa, at the dock
of the Portland Lumber Company to
morrow. Grace & Co. arranged for the
luncheon in appreciation of courtesy ac
corded their representatives when here
recently on business dealing with a
plan under way to establish a perma
nent service between the Atlantic and
Pacific ports.
The Colusa sailed from Tacoma at
3 o'clock Friday afternoon and it is
supposed that she proceeded to Victoria
to coal, as she was not reported passing
Tatoosh. The vessel Is looked for In
the river today and will proceed at
once to the Portland mill, where she is
to load a large order of lumber for the
Government to be used on the Panama
Canal work. While the Colusa will not
operate in the coast-to-coast line, as she
is under the British emblem, Grace &
Co. expect to retain her :n the regular
trade to Central and South America.
As she i3 on her maiden voyage and
represents the latest in freighters, it
is desired that shippers be given the
opportunity to inspect the vessel.
STKAMKR MODOC PURCHASED
River Carrier to lie Taken to Puget
Sound Shortly.
As soon as fuel oil tanks are installed
and the vessel strengthened and pro
tection provided on deck against any
rough weather that might be met with,
the steamer Modoc, long a fixture in
the 'Willamette River fleet, will be
taken to Puget Sound to be operated
in the future by the Skinner interests.
She has been sold by Captain Kxon and
associates and is now at Supple's dock,
where the work will be carried out.
The Modoc was built in 1898 by the
Oregon Railroad & Navigation Com
pany and operated on the Upper Wil
lamette. During the last few years
she was under that flag, her duties
were not permanent and it was decided
by the railroad interests to sell her
"and the steamer Ruth, the Modoc heincr
taken by Captain Kxon and others and
placed on the Portland-Lewis River
route, wnere she remained until a. fe
weeks ago, when the steamer G. M.
Walker, renamed the Woodland, was
pressed into service and the Modoc re
tired. The Ruth was sold to the Wil
lamette Transportation Company and
runs Detween t'ortland and Oregon
POIJ.Y KATS HAT TRIMMINGS
Bird on Beaver Devours Bunch of
Artificial Cherries.

It was learned here that the owner
of the hat left it on the ship the last
time she was in port, so appeared at
the dock to claim her property. The
hat was listed among lost articles and
as such found its way to the office of
the steward to await a claimant. There
mi s appetite was appeased and now
the bird is being watched closely, for if
. he survives the artificial cherries he
may not hesitate to eat bolts and rivets
out or the steel partitions.
M'XSMAXX WAS OLD TRADER
Schooner Lost at San Francisco
Louded Here In December.
leep interest centers in the outcome
of the accident at San Francisco yes
terday through which the schooner
J. H. Lunsmarin, coal-laden from Aus
tralia, was struck by the steamer Fran
cis H. Leggett, and sank, as both ves
sels are well known here, tha Luna
mann because of frequent voyages she
- has made in the lumber trade and the
Leggett because she has been in the
Coast fleet operating between Portland
and California ports since her construc
tion. The Lunsmarin was here In December
and loaded lumber for Australia. Cap
tain Weitkunat. her master, is the prin
cipal stockholder. The Lunsmann was
built at Everett, Wash., in 1902. and
was 216.6 feet long, 40.8 feet beam and
17.6 feet depth of hold. Some believe
that she can be floated if flot badly
damaged.
CARLSON' YET OX LAHAINA
Master Who First Brought Barken
tlne Here Lauds Vessel.
Captain Carlson, who brought the
barkentlne Lahaina here in 1904 to load
her first cargo out of Portland, she
then being new and rated one of the
smartest of her class afloat, is yet in
command of the carrier and on his ar
rival yesterday from St. Helens pro
nounced the Lahaina the same clipper
windjammer as of yore.
The barkentine came this time from
Australia, via the Hawaiian Islands,
and will load with lumber for South
Africa. She has been sent to St. Hel
ens to have a new mainmast stepped
and is to be drydocked for cleaning and
painting also. She has a capacity of
1,350,000 feet and has proved a speedy
sailer. Captain Carlson has been a
skipper 22 years and so far the La
haina has known no other navigator.
Bark to Go On Drydock Here.
The last of the ballast the Norwegian
bark Marco Polo loaded at Caleta
Buena for the voyage to Portland was
discharged yesterday afternoon at
Linnton and she is being prepared to
enter the Port of Portland drydock
for cleaning and painting..
The Marco Polo loads old crop wheat
for the United Kingdom and may be
the only windjammer to sail this month
with cereal, though the Inveresk is
fully due. The Merchants' Exchange
received word yesterday that the Brit
ish bark Killoran, which left here with
a wheat cargo January 30, had report
ed at Falmouth July 11. In another
month there will be a larger fleet of
square-riggers under way and some
may gain the river, though new crop
wheat will not be received at tide
water in large lots until September.
Boy's Body Found.
ASTORIA, Or., July 12. (Special.)
The body of a 5 or 6-year-old boy was
found last night in Deadman's Cove, a
short distance north of Cape Disap
pointment, Wash. It is supposed to be
that of Donald Murchison, the 5-year-old
son of Captain Murchison, of the
schooner Dauntless, who fell overboard
from that vessel about May 16.
Marine Xotes.
Two coasters got away yesterday for
California ports with cargoes and pas
sengers, the San Ramon and Klamath.
The former cleared with 740,000 feet
of lumber, 250 tons of oats and bran
and 34 tons of general.
To have repairs made to her pilot
house .which was damaged a few days
ago when struck by a falling derrick,
the tug Charles M. Greiner went to
Supple's yard yesterday.
Owing to the amount of business han
dled during the week on the regular
run, it has been decided to eliminate
Sunday excursions to Vancouver on the
steamer America.
Launched Friday, June 13, with 13
letters in her name and 13 signal flags
flying from the upper works, the
steamer Rosalie Mahony, of the Olson
& Mahony fleet, will add another 13 to
her record when she leaves Aberdeen,
Wash., today for San Francisco to have
her machinery installed.
Th'ere has been no change in the
speed with which the Willamette Is
receding here, and the stream was reg
istered at 16.2 feet above zero yester
day morning. It is falling about five
tenths of a foot every 24 hours.
Owing to Increased business on the
Portland-Astoria route the steamer
Undine, of the Kamm line, was ordered
into commission yesterday and went a
short distance below the mouth of
the river to transfer freight to the
Lurline. which was late.
Bringing 1700 tons of cement and
general cargo the steamer Stanley Dol
lar, now operating in the Arrow Line
fleet, is due In the river today. The

SUGAR UP MONDAY
All Grades of Refined Will Be
Ten Cents Higher.
LARGER ADVANCE EXPECTED
Eastern Markets Have Been Steadily
Advancing In Past Week Heav
ier Consumptive Demand
Is Reported.
An advance of 10 cents in prices of
all grades of refined sugar was an
nounced by jobbers yesterday to take
effect Monday morning. A 20-cent rise
had been expected, in view of the re
peated advances in the Eastern market
in the past few days.
Mail reports indicate a heavy de
mand in the Kast for refined, which
has had its effect on raw sugars, the
course of which has been steadily up
ward. Commenting on the situation a
sugar authority says:
"An indication of sellers' confidence
In their position is found in the fact
that, according to the reported trans
actions, the advances paid by buyers
of raws this week brought out only
about 12.000 tons Cubas and 600 tons
Porto Rlcos, which is a sraall quantity
indeed for this season, when the melt
ing requirements of refiners are very
heavy and will continue so for some
time. With reference to the possibility
of any pressure being exerted by Javas
in this market during the remainder
of the year, our recent mail advices
state that such a contingency seems
too. remote to be worthy of the least
apprehension."
Total stocks in the United States and
Cuba are figured by Wlllett & Gray at
656,832 tons, an increase of 316,111 tons
from last year. Estimated afloat to the
United States, 86,000 tons, against 130,
000 tons last year."
NEW CHOP WHEAT CONTRACTING
Small Amount of Businew FmkIdz at 80 and
81 Cents.
Country reports received yesterday
told of some contracting of new crop
wheat on the tidewater basis of 80
cents for red and 81 cents for white.
The volume of the business was not
large. The spot market was dull with
the tone a little easier, pther cereals
were quiet.
According to cable advices from tile
International Institute of Agriculture
at Rome, the Winter wheat crop mis
year in European Russia is estimated
at 277,683,000 bushels, or 13.8 per cent
more than last year. The Winter rye
crop is estimated at 917,166,000 bushels,
or 8.9 per cent less than last year.

DKAIJ-JILS' PURCHASES -OF WOOL L1GKI
Kutem I "inns Have Lews Under Control
Than Csual at This Period.
The wool-buying season in the grow
ing sections of this country is prac-i
tically over, except In Montana and
the fleece states. The buying In Mon
tana is likely to continue for a montn
or more.
In the other territory section all
the best wool has been either bought
or consigned. The latest purchases
have been in the Triangle district,
where some half a million pounds have
recently been secured, with pricoa a
little easier, so far as the scoured cost
is concerned.
Boston houses have secured a fair
quantity of wool, but much of it has
been by consignment, rather than ac
tual purchase and none of them his
under control anywhere near as mu.h
as is usual at this time of year.
HOP CONTRACT MARKET IS BLOCKED
Renewed Inquiry for Last Year's Crop.
English Prospects.
The hop market at the close of the
week was firm. Additional Inquiry
was reported for spots, but sellers'
ideas were above the market.
Trading in the new crop has been
brought to a stop temporarily. There
are plenty, of orders at 15 cents, but
these cannot be filled, since bids have
been put out half a cent better. A
week ago considerable business might
have been done at 15- cents, but grow
ers now are looking for more money.
The crop In Oregon is in fine condi
tion, and has shown great improve
ment in the past week. Estimates are
unaltered.
A London cable reported the weather
in England favorable and the crop
looking better. Mail reports received
yesterday from Bohemia said the aphis
blight was very severe.
CALIFORNIA BEAN CROP IS IlKAVY
All Kinds, Excevt l-urj;e and Small Whites,
Show Increase.
Ten million pounds of beans will be
the crop of California this year, if the
estimate of the railway freight statis
ticians have correctly gauged it. A gain
of 10 per cent over last year's crop
is expected because of the increased
acreage this season and the excellent
condition of the vines. The cool
weather has kept the moisture in the
ground.
Ventura County will produce about
880,000 sacks of SO pounds each this
year, according to present indications;
Santa Barbara. 110.000 sacks; Los An
geles County, 90,000 sacks; Orange
County, 185,000 sacks, and San Diego
County 72,000 sacks. Shipments will
begin early in September or the latter
part of August. The total estimate
is 1,345,000 sacks, or over 10,752,000
pounds.
Record Kx ports of Apple.
The quantity of boxed" apples export
ed during the season of 1912-13 which
has just closed aggregated 1,453,577
boxes as against 587,035 boxes in 1911
12, according to figures compiled by
Mahlon Terhune, of New York. Of
this quantity New York shipped 1,353,
235 boxes, Boston sent 97,189 boxes and
Portland, Me., 3183 boxes. Of the total
amount exported Liverpool received
389,084 boxes: London. 586,566 boxes;
Glasgow, 106,982 boxes; Hamburg, 172,.
208 boxes; Bremen, 94,272 boxes; Hull,
30,745 boxes, and various, 73,840 boxes.
The largest previous year was in 1910
11. when the total exports were 1,106,
610 boxes.

English Krtiit Crop. Outlook Poor.
"A disappointing season" is the sum
mary of the English fruit crop pros
pects by the London Times. "The ap
ple yield will be much smaller than
last year. The aphis blight on plums
and apples, particularly the former, is
one of the worst ever known, in spite
of repeated sprayings in many cases.
The review concludes: "No one who has
not walked over many of the great
commercial fruit farms of Kent and
other counties can form a fair concep
tion of the disappointing results of the
present season."
Sharp Advance In Cottonseed Oil.
Cottonseed oil advanced three cents
a gallon yesterday. In the last two
weeks the advance In this article has
been 13 cents. The reason given for
this sharp upward movement is that
available supplies are not sufficient 13
meet requirements In the remaining
two months of the old crop season.
However, as refiners have complete
control over the Situation, there Is nat
ural suspicion that the market is be
ing manipulated.
Active Demand for Fruit.
Front street had another active day
yesterday. The demand for fruit was
sufficient to clean up nearly all stocks,
except a mixed car of peaches and
plums, which was delivered too late
to be handled. Receipts otherwise were
light.
Prices were firm on the best of offer
ings. Cantaloupes, yellow peaches and
melons sold fast. Berries were in lib
eral supply, but cleaned up. Bananas
are due today.
Seattle in Market for Poultry.
Seattle buyers were in the market
yesterday for all the chickens they
could get, consequently the limited ar
rivals were quickly cleaned up. Prices
were quoted unchanged. Dressed meats
were in small supply and firm at the
old prices.
The egg market holds very steady at
present quotations.

active demand.

The Financier this week says:
Considering renewed exports of gold on
Paris account and the conflicting movement
of ntoney, following the July dividend per
iod, the clearing-house banks of New York
made a very good statement for the week
ending July 12. The loans of the institu
tions Increased $10,313,000. The current
week was one of the dullest ever known on
the Stock Exchange, so that the expansion
in this item was due to other causes.
It Is to be noted tthat the loans of the
trust companies, as reported In their state
ment made independently of the clearing
house banks, decreased nearly $7,000,000,
so that there probably has been some shift
ing of loans as between the banks proper
and the trust companies. The banks lost
$4,382,000 In specie, but gained 7. 202,000
in legal tenders, the net result being an
increase of $2.S80.000 In cash.
Deposits expanded $17,SS2,000 and this
increased reserve requirements to an
amount large enough to offset cash gains
and the hanks, therefore, decreased thelt
cash reserve $541,400, the surplus above
the 25 per cent minimum standing at
$19,414,800.
' Coffee and Sugar.
NEW YORK. July 12. Coffee futures
were higher again today on continued cov
ering and European buying, which was at
tributed by some to less favorable views
of the new crop and by others to recogni
tion of a stronger technical position " after
the heavy selling of the early week. The
opening was steady at an advance of 3 to
10 points, and active months sold about 9
to 18 points net higher during the middle of
the morning. Realizing by recent buyers
caused reaction on the late trading, with
the close steady at a net gain of 2 to 8
points. July. 8.54c; September, 8.77c; Octo

a good demand from all sections. Ameri

favor.

Street Stocks.
CHEERFUL FEELING ABROAD
Market Moves Upward, but Trading
Is on Very Small Scale Private
Crop Reports Are More
Favorable.
NEW YORK, July 12. There was
distinct hardening; In tone on the stock
exchange today, but otherwise the
market presented few changes from the
previous session, which was the dullest
In 17 years.
The market at the opening followed
the lead of London, where American
stocks had been placed on a slightly
higher level. A more cheerful feeling
abroad was, reported and there was
some buying here for London account,
which helped to give the list an ap
pearance of strength. Canadian Pa
cific opened two points higher and
later increased its gain. . .Bethlehem
Steel, New Haven and the petroleum
stocks made substantial advances. The
stock market leaders, however, moved
only fractionally.
A factor in strengthening the mar
ket was the satisfactory character of
private crop reports. Trade.reviews for
the week told of a more confident feel
ing, with some increase in business as
for future account.
The expected cash loss, amounting to
$7,800,000, was shown In the average
statement of the banks, reflecting the
week's exports of $5,000,000 gold to
France and diminished receipts from
the interior. In the actual table, how
ever, gain was shown.
Bonds were steady. Total sales (par
value), $410,000. Some further heavi
ness developed in Government bonds to
day. United States bonds declined a
half to one point an call on the week.
STOCK 'SPECULATION ALMOST STOPS
Lightened Pressure of Liquidation Is Fea
ture of Week.
NEW YORK, July 12. The dullness and
sluggishness of the week's stock market did
not permit of any definite conclusions as to
the course of speculative sentiment, which
apparently remained quiescent and in- a
formative stage. Favorable inferences
were negatively deducted from the small
effect on prices producd by apparently dam
aging developments.
How small an affair was the market is
shown by the daily average of transac
tions, which fell much under 200,000 shares,
while on Friday the total was only 04.4OO,
the low record for 17 years. Stock exchange
members lamented the poor showing of
business and a seat on the exchange sold
for $38,000, a low record since 1900.
Lightened pressure of liquidation evident
ly is due te curtailment of new issues, such
as lately were being forced upon the mar
ket, necessitating the sale of seasoned Is
sues to provide means for taking up the
new securities. Evidently there has not
been yet any effective accumulation of new
capital to revive the process of fresh en
listments or to offer any sustaining support
for values of old. The week's sale of
Northern Pacific one-year notes on an In
terest basis, allowing for bankers' compen
sation computed at about 6 per cent, was
a reminder of the position. So also was the
tall in British consols to a price lower than
for 0o years.
Tha resumption of gold exports to Paris
was equally significant. The decline for
the first time to below par of United states
2 per cents is complicated with the circu
lation privilege and its proposed treatment
In the currency bill.
The acceptance of the Pittsburg- bank
failure as merely a sporadic condition was
taken as evidence of the underlying confi
dence In the banking position as a whole.
It was recognized also that the French de
mand for gold had to do with the market's
commitments for financing the Balkan com
batants. The form of settlement of- the Eastern
railroad trainmen's demands is regarded
hopefully, but with reserve. Reports on the
New Haven affairs contained nothing to
cause surprise. although the propositions
advanced by. the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to prevent it from acquiring out
side property supplemented the Union Pa
cific dissolution us a lesson that dissolution
of combinations and mergers is to be the
future order.
The important statistical exhibits of the
week passed almost unnoticed. Copper
stocks were reduced only by a drastic cut
in production.

GHASS CATTLE.
Butclier Stock Firmer on Light Sup
ply Hog Market in Good
Shape.
Trading at the stock yards ended
quietly yesterday, the only sales being
a few steers carried over from the pre
ceding day. Thirty head that averaged
905 pounds were sold at $7.50 and five
head averaging 886 pounds brought
$7.25.
Receipts were 237 hogs and 13 sheep.
Shippers were C. E. Lucke, of Canby, 1
car of hogs and sheep; Grand View
Feed & Fuel Company, of Grand View,
Wash., 1 car of hogs; Arlington Lum
ber Company, from Gwendolln, Or., 1
car of hogs.
The weekly official market report
follows:
"Receipts for the week have been:
Cattle, 1026; calves, 232; hogs, 2125;
sheep, 4171.
"Cattle market steady to stronger at
the close of the week's business. Prime
grass steers offering on Thursday and
Friday sold at $8.25 to $.8.60 in small
quantity. The demand for this class of
stuff is fine, but for medium and half
fat varieties prices are no higher than
they have been for the last two weeks.
The steer top on bulk sales is $8 to
$8.25. Light offerings of cows and
heifers have strengthened the market
somewhat, especially in choice grades.
Cows, $7 to $7.25; heifers, $7.25 to $7.50;
bulls, $6 to $6.25, and calves, $9, are top
quotations on the various classes.
"Buying demand in the hog pens in
creased materially the latter part of
the week; tops sold in bulk at $9 to
$9.15. with a few loads at $9.20 and
$9.25. Themarket is steady to strong
on a basis of $9.15.' Good demand for
smooth and rough heavy hogs. Receipts
have been fairly liberal, considering
the season of the year, and liquidation
will doubtless decrease during the next
two months.
"Sheep house prices have suffered to
some extent during the last six days,
due to the slow demand on the part of
the killers. Good fat mutton is not
finding a very broad outlet, while lamb
values have decreased 25c to 50c since
July 1. Prime yearlings, $5.25 to $5.50;
ewes at $4, old wethers at $4 to $4.25
and lambs at $6 represent extreme quo
tations." The following sales are representa

Cents Cables Are Lower and
Export Demand Is Lacking.
Coarse Grains Decline.
CHICAGO, July 12. Wheat prices
fell to a lower level today for July
and September than has been reached
at any time this season. Excellent rains
of advantage to the entire Spring crop
had much to do with making the mar
ket weak. The close, which was near
ly at the bottom point reached, showed
a net loss of lLilHc to l.g2c. Corn
finished c to down, oats off c
to c and provisions varying from
10c decline to a like advance.
General selling of wheat by longs
bore down the market from the outset.
Cables were lower and there seemed to
be no evidenc of export demand.
Primary receipts for 24 hours
amounted to 1,197,000 bushels, Against
632.000 bushels a year ago. Seaboard
clearances of wheat and flour today
equalled only 133,000 bushels.
Sentiment in the corn crowd became
rampantly bearish as a result of the
continued fine weather and the im
proved outlook for the growing crop,
Oats broke with other grain.
Action in the provision pit had a see
saw character. The reason was that
firmness of the hog market conflicted
with sympathy for the weakening of
the cereals.
