STEAMER INTELLIGENCE
Pessimists, who have asserted that
Portlund is "a siam schooner port" and
never can become a harbor for offshore
carriers, are invited to visit the
Merchants Exchange and scan the board
of vessels In port. This board shows
14 deep-sea steamers are within the
heads that mark the entrance to the
Columbia.
Incidentally, that is the record num
ber of liners and tramps to be here in
company. Six of them, under charter
for grain and one sailing vessel of the
cereal fleet, have a combined net reg
ister of 21.212 tons and a capacity of
more than l.aOO.OOO bushels of wheat.
Of eight other steamers in port two
are liners, the Brisgavla, of the Ham
burp-American fleet, and the Den of
Ruthven. sailing under the Royal Mall
flap. They have a combined tonnage
of 7271 and six lumber carriers have a
total of 17,479 tons.
The fleet in the river was augmented
ysvterday by the arrival before day
light of the British steamer Cralghall
coming from Victoria to load lumber
at Inman-Poulsen's, also flour and
wheat elsewhere, for the Orient. The
British steamer Epsom followed' her
at 4 o'clock, hailing from C'omox, to
load grain for the United Kingdom. At
8 o'clock the British steamer Queen
Maud came In from Eureka to com
plete a lumber cargo at Westport for
Australia. At noon the British steamer
Bellorado reported from Comox to load
for the Portland Flouring Mills Com
pany. The British steamer Colla,
coming from San Francisco and fixed
by the Portland Flouring Mills Com
pany, was due last night.

will not put a stop to the export flour trade.
which Is now assuming good proportions.
for the reason that shippers will make use
of outside tonnage at lower rates. It is
believed that the trans-Pacific companies
see an opportunity to fill their ships with
otber cargo, and are thereby rendered In-
depenednt of local freight. The wheat and
flour shippers here are. fortunately, in an
equally Independent position.
"We are, of course, disappointed at the
outcome of the Seattle meeting," said a
large shipper yesterday.
'We had felt that we should support the
regular lines, but they decline to support
us. As plenty of tramp tonnage la to be
had at lower rates than they quote. It can
safely be assumed that chartering of tramps
will begin Immediately. The millers are
not going out of business, and they are not
going to turn down the trade with the Ori
ent that Is now offering."
The wheat market was quiet at the close
of the week. California buyers could not
be interested, millers were not In the mar
ket strong and the demand for European
account was limited. Buying for the Orient
was of course Influenced by the new turn in
the freight situation. The market held very
steady, however, club being quoted at 79 6
80 cents and forty-fold at 81 cents. As for
milling bluestem It was stronger than ever,
00 cents being bid In some quarters.
More Interest was shown In the barley
market, particularly for brewing grades,
which were worth about half a dollar more
than late prices. The oats business was
quiet and the market was fairly steady.

SHIP OWXEHS ASK LIBEL
Suit for $8013 Results From Col
lision of Tug and Schooner.
Trial was beprun before Judge Bean
in the United States District Court yes
terday of the 18013.91 libel suit of the
Xehalem & South Coast Transportation
Company against the Columbia Con
tract Company, owners of the steam tug
Samson. The case probably will oc
cupy all of the Monday session.
On June 3, 1912, there was a collision
between the tug, which was towing
three barges, and the Kasollne schooner
Tillamook, in which the schooner was
damaged badly. According to the al
legations the collision happened at
10:43 at night on the Columbia River,
between the Westport light on the
Oregon shore and the Waterford light
on the Washington shore. The Tilla-
juvwiv " o Buingr own me river wonn
the usual course. When the two vessels
were 1000 feet distant the helm of the
Samson was put to starboard, forcing
" r. oc nun usuiji) m yvM
and bringing her and the barges Into
collision with the Tillamook. It is al
leged that the schooner was struck
on the port side amidships and badly
damaged.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20. Bear traders took
tbe stock market in hand at the beginning
of business today and brought about a con
tinuation of the decline. Union Pacific was
forced down a point and others of the ac
tive features receded nearly as much. Rock
Island common and preferred shares
touched new low figures for the present decline.
In spite of the comparative readiness
with which the market responded to selling
pressure the bears did not press their ad
vantage. The steady demand for stocks at
the lower level was not to their liking. Ef
forts to get back stocks sold caused an up
turn and prices gradually recovered the
ground lost.
Trading "was of a listless character
throughout the session. There was a dis
inclination to make fresh commitments be
cause the stock exchange Is not to open on
Monday until noon. The holiday in LrOndon
today tended still further to restrict trad
ing here.
The showing by the banks of an actual
Cash gain of nearly $:t,."00,000 was closely in
line with forecasts. Shifting of the burden
of loans was reflected in a loan decrease
of nearly $10,000,000 and over $.".,000,000
was added to the surplus, which was nearly
doubled.

MONEY MARKET IMPORTANT FACTOR
Restraining Influence on Speculation in
Securities.
NEW YORK. Sent. 20. The oroblem of
the money market played an important part
In the speculative situation this week, and
was an effective restraining influence. There
were a number of special points of strength
In the list, which served to sustain the
market and facilitate profit-taking, and at
Intervals to turn the whole movement up
ward. Sentiment over the future remained
optimistic, but recognition was given to the
unwisdom of attempting to force a cam
paign to advance prices at a period when
the season's demands for trade and com
merce were drawing down reserves and
making extra demands for credit facilities.
The hardening tendency of money rates.
In spite of the scaling down of stock market
loans that was in progress, witnessed to the
working of inroads on banking resources.
The approaching money settlements in Ber
lin are being prepared for by resort to the
London gold market. New York Clearing-
House banks keep up their percentage of
reserve, but only by shifting loans to the
trust companies and by drawing on nearby
money centers for cash.
'rna August foreign trade statement con
firmed the tendency of recent months to
ward expansion of export values and shrink- '
age of imports. This showing is compii- ;
cated, however, by the question of the re- j
suits to follow the operation of the new
tariff laws, nearly approaching enactment.
The Government s warehouses are nlled with
Imported goods In bond, waiting for the re
duction of duties to be thrown on the mar
ket. It is felt that the exact effects to
follow cannot be foreseen. Bankers and
merchants are, therefore inspired to cau
tion.
There is a distinct improvement In the
tone of the investment markets. The rise
In securities hearing fixed interest return
reflects this confidence.
Trade advices continue mixed. The in
fluence of crop damage remains to be meas
ured. The iron and steel trade is given
over to conjecture of the new competition
to be met with reduced duties, and of the
extent of railroad buying to be expected.
Copper statistics are a strengthening in
flueiice on thti price of the metal.

Prospects of Imrge Increase In Vis

Cause of InltmdiiiK Stocks
in Northwest Pile Vp.
CHICAGO. Sept. 20. More thnn a million
bushels of wheat, suddenly thrown on tne
market In the last hour today by a lew
leading houses, made prices suffer a de
cided break. Prospect of a large Increase
In the visible supply total Monday was said
to have had considerable to do with the
selling. The close was weak, to 1c low
er. Corn lost to 14 4jic. oats uttc to
c and provisions 214 to 12V4c
Piling up of wheat stocks Northwest cut
a figure in preparing the way for the set
back in wheat. Manitoba shipments, hav
ing monopolized the export outlet, there was
but little domestic milling demand.
When wheat declined, corn prices flat
tened out. Previously the market had
shown strength, owing to wet weather,
which was expected to delay farmers" deliv
eries. Early firmness of oats gave way to the
general weakness of other grain. Many
week-end longs sold out.
Provisions, after holding steady most of
the day. showed moderate depression. The
chief reason seemed to be that pit traders
on the bull side preferred to let go of hold
ings rather than carry the property over
to next week.

COQUILLE TROUBLE WORRY
How School Row Will End Proble
matical as Result of New Action.
COQUILLE, Or., Sept. 20. (Special.)
The Coqutlle school row assumed a new
phase this week when C. R. Barrow
and Z. C. Strang Instituted mandamus
proceedings to compel R. H. Mast to
sign warrants for the purchase of their
tract of land for $6000 as a site for a
new school here.
This Is the third suit over the row,
and Coquille Is pretty well divided in
the Mast and Barrow factions. In the
first case the Barrow faction won, (ret
ting an injunction restraining their
candidate for director from participat
ing in the School Board deliberations
dissolved. Then quo warranto pro
ceedings were Instituted, and Barrows'
candidate for director was unseated be
cause in the election, which resulted in
a tie, a second vote was taken instead
of having the tie decided by lot. Just
how the matter will end is problemati
cal.

DERELICT LAUNCH SALVED
Craft Found AVitli Bow in Mud and
Stern Above Water.
Harbor patrolmen yesterday found
the 22-foot launch Edna standing per
pendicular in the water at old Alaska
dock, her bow embedded about two
feet in sediment of the riverbed and
Just the stern showing. The launch
had been in that position sufficiently
long to discolor the paint on the deck
and bow.
The harbor launch towed the sub
merged craft to the foot of Oak street,
where it was hauled on a log raft by
means of a block and tackle, augment
ed by about a dozen pairs of husky
arms, and after being baled was found
to be in good condition. All tools and
equipment were in the boat and in the
bow .was a quantity of gravel that
served to hold the launch head down
ward. It is equipped with a Far
Bowen engine. Efforts are being made
to locate the owner.
Coos Potato Crop Bumper.
MARSH FIELD, Or.. Sept. 20. (Spe
cial.) Coos County ranchers say that
they will have one of the largest crops
of potatoes they have ever had. The
potato harvest here is now at its
height and the ranchers are having
difficulty in getting enough men to
gather the bumper crop of spuds. Not
only is the crop large but the quality
is much better than the average. A. O.
Rogers, of Coos River, gathered over
1000 sacks from one small field on his
ranch.
