MERCED IS GIVEN UP
Owners Abandon Wreck and
Plan Another Vessel.
CELILO TO BE LAUNCHED
Charles K. 3IcCorinick Interests to
Complete AVork on Sister Ship to
One l.o.st on Kocks Xeur
Point Gorda Wednesday.
Formal abandonment has been made
of the steam schooner Merced, which
struck oft Point Gorda Wednesday
night when bound from San Francisco
to Portland with passengers and
cargo, and simultaneously with that
news came the announcement that in
about three weeks the Charles Mc
Cormick interests, which owned the
Merced, will launch the hull of the new
steamer Celilo, a sister ship, at the
plant of the St Helens Shipbuilding
Company. The company probably will
proceed at once with the construction
of a successor to the Merced.
On the Merced was a shipment of
material to be used on the Celilo and as
that has been lost, work on the vessel
will be 'delayed until the company can
start a duplicate order from San Fran
cisco. The Merced was valued at $154,
000. and like the Klamath and Mult
nomah, of the same fleet, was held to
be the most desirable class of ves
sel for the Coast trade. . She had com
fortable passenger accommodations, "as
well as a lumber capacity of 1,000,000
feet, and was adapted for the transpor
tation of cement and like commodities
from California.
The Celilo Is of the identical model
and conforms to the same plans as to
the superstructure. Unless her launch
ing during- the fore part of November
Is postponed, she will be towed to
Ban Francisco soon after for the in
stallation of her machinery and will
be ready for service early in January.
It has been the intention of the Mc
Cormick officials to turn out at least
one ship annually for their own fleet
and as many for outsiders as were
contracted for, but the loss of the
Merced will no doubt bring about the
building of two carriers in 1914.
BRIDAL, SUITE WANTED FOR $6
Former Gendarme Creates Scene on
Dock as Bear Sails.
"1 killa da capitan" stormed a son
of Italy on Alnsworth dock yesterday
when he learned that $6 he paid for a
steerage ticket did not entitle him to
a stateroom with bridal chamber deco.
rations On boarding the stamer Bear
he had been escorted forward, where
301 others were preparing to sail for
the south, apparently content with
their $C berths. He demurred. Going
to the dock he delivered himself of
his opinions of what a working man
should :ecive for $6. He was so earnest
that Harbormaster Speier was com
pelled to admonish him to use more
modulated tones.
The Italian boasted that abroad he
had been the "capitan" of 60 gendarmes.
To illustrate how he led the 50 follow
ers to victory in the past the irate one
wavea his suitcase aloft. The head of
the harbor police had to "duck" to
avoid going on Ms beam ends. The next
Instant the traveler was seated admidst
his baggage on the deck. Then his $6
was returned and he was assisted from
the dock. Notwithstanding his absence
. the Bear sailed with the record crowd
of the season, 560 persons from here,
and more holding reservations at As
toria increased her list to 676.
PORT CALEDONIA AT D-CBLIN
Ernest Legouve Entered Witli Glas
gow Cargo and Birkdale in Ballast.
Last of the old-crop wheat carriers
has arrived out, the British ship Port
Caledonia, which was reported at Dub
lin yesterday, she having been 127 days
on the way, though actually 124 days
on the voyage from the mouth of the
Columbia to Queenstown. The steamers
Kina and Lord Derby have reached the
other side of the Atlantic with 1913-14
wheat, but the British ship Arracan,
the first square-rigger sent to the
United kingdom this season, is yet to
report She sailed from the river
July 3.
The French bark Ernest Legouve,
which began discharging yesterday at
Mersey dock, entered at the custom
house from Glasgow with 2938 tons of
cargo, comprising 371,650 firebrick of
different kinds, 400 tons of plglron,
427 casks of whiting, 1000 bags of
Fuller's earth and 25 cases of ginger
ale. The British bark Birkdale, Cap
tain Wamsley. entered in ballast from
Huasco, Chile.
HIGH WATER IS NOT FEARED
Concrete Parts of New Dock Rise
Above Danger Line.
G. B. Hegardt, chief engineer of the
Commission of Public Docks, is wear
ing the smile that will not come off,
because the concrete gangs engaged
on the Stark-street motorboat landing
and on public dock No. 1, at the foot
of Seventeenth street, have enough ma
terial in the forms to bring the walls
above the average stage of Fall high
water. Mr. Hegardt says there is no
danger from that quarter unless there
should be an abnormal rise.
This means that there will be no in
terruption on the Stark-street project
and in about six weeks it will be ready
for acceptance, while on dock No. 1
gangs can be employed during the en
tire Winter, and the undertaking should
be ended by March 1.
STEAMERS HAVE ACCIDENTS
Tlior Goes Ashore and Falls of Orchy
Cracks Cylinder.
Two more ships from this port have
been reported in trouble, the Norwegian
steamer Thor, which left Portland Aug
ust 26 for Taku Bar and sailed from
there after September 26 and proceeded
to Karatsu to load for San Francisco,
is ashore at Karatsu. Details of her
condition have not been forwarded. The
Thor has made several voyages from
Portland and Puget Sound.
The British steamer Falls of Orchy.
which inaugurated the service of the
Royal Mail fleet from here, is said to
have cracked her low pressure cylinder
on the run to London via the Suez
Canal. She was on the way from Sing
apore, across the Indian Ocean, at the
time of the mishap, and was detained
at Colombo while temporary repairs
were made. It was not until October
7 that she was reported passing Suez.
SAND WEARS STERN BEARINGS
Head ot Chinook's "Black Gang"
Works for Solution.
To provide some means of prevent
ing sand from grinding in the stern
bearings of the dredge Chinook, pos
sibly by substituting new material for
the sleeve, is a solution being sought
by Chief Engineer Marhoff, to whom
the machinery and all mechnical parts
in the Government digger are as so
many pets. Mr. Marhoff Is assisting
in assembling specifications for repair
work on the vessel and thinks that
one of the biggest gains that can be
expected is to devise a scheme for
checkmating the sand that washes aft
when the bins are emptied at sea.
The Chinook will he at the Govern
ment moorings two weeks and then go
to the drydock. About 60 per cent of
j her crew has been paid off and all
dui skeleton complement win on pui
ashore when the steamer is cleaned up
and ready for her Winter sojourn.
That she will be returned to the bar
in the Spring is certain. From the
time she went to work in June until
the September survey she deepened the
bar channel three feet, and as she was
operated about 30 days thereafter, it
is felt certain she did as well as dur
ing the Summer.
XEAV BOILERS ARE ORDER EH)
Yards Here Have Average Amount of
Contracts in Hand.
Contracts have been closed by the
Willamette Iron & Steel Works for
boilers to be installed in the tug
Robarts, which Johnson & Anderson,
contractors engaged In the construc
tion of the iSiuslaw jetty, are operating,
also for one in the tug R. Miler, of As
toria, which belongs to the Knappton
mills.
At the shipyards a "normal amount
of work is being handled. The steamer
Beaver, at the Portland' Shipbuilding
Company's plant, is to be ready for
service about Thursday. In addition
to repairing holes In her hull, result
ing from the vessel having struck a
snag a few weeks ago in the Clatskanle
River, some new work Is being done.
The steamer Chester is at Supple's
yards for repairs and an overhauling,
and there are smaller jobs under way
there also.
TIME BALL OUT OF SERVICE
Move Revived to Move Plant to O.-W.
R. & N. Bridge Tower.
Through the breaking of a cogwheel
the time ball, maintained by the
Branch Hydrographic Office on the
Custom House, is out of commission
and John McNulty, in charge of the
office, says he has been informed by
the mechanic attending to the repairs
that ten days will be required in which
to complete them.
No recent information has been re
ceived from Washington dealing with
the plan proposed to shift the time
ball from the Custom House to one of
the towers of the O.-W., R. & N. bridge
so that It could be seen from all parts
of the harbor. B. C. Giltner, secre
tary of the Chamber, of Commerce, has
decided to call the subject to the at
tention of the Oregon delegation once
more with the hope of having an ap
propriation made to pay for the work.
Marine Notes.
Harbormaster Speier received a re
port yesterday that a 14-foot launch,

WHEAT AT BOTTOM
Reaction in Prices Is Expected
by Dealers.
FARMERS HOLD FOR RISE
Chicago Market Depressed by Fear
of Free Canadian Grain High
Freights Check Oriental
Flour Movement.
The wheat market has been In an un
satisfactory condition during the past
week. The demand has been or very
small proportions and the undertone
of the market has been easy. At the
close 77 cents was quoted on club and
88 cents on bluestem. Sellers, how
ever, were not ready to let go at these
prices. Fresent values represent a de
cllne of fully 6 cents a bushel from the
toD Quotations of the season. mis
means a loss of $2,000,000 to the farm
ers on what is unsold of the North
western crop, provided current prices
hold. .
The Impression prevails In some
quarters, however, that the market has
now reached bottom and that a re
action Is due. The repeated slumps at
Chicago have been occasioned by fears
or tne entry or tree uanaaian wneai.
Dealers here do not share this view.
They do not believe the Canadian gov
ernment will dare to take off the duty
on wheat shipped into Canada from the
United States, which must be done be
fore Canadian wheat can be brought
here duty free. The Borden ministry
was elected on an anti- reciprocity plat
form, and It is not safe to assume they
will reverse their policy immediately.
The weakness of the English markets
has been a considerable factor in de
pressing American prices. The decline
at Liverpool was natural, as the enor
mous Canadian crop Is moving to En-
rope faster than ever before, owing to
the Canadian pacifies Improved facil
ities. The movement will be checked
when lake navigation is closed, but
the Argentine crop, which promises to
be a good one, will then be ready for
market, and one will largely offset the
other.
The current Oriental flour trade is
of about the usual volume. No large
fresh orders are coming in. At this
time of year Shanghai is usually In
the market for December-January
shipments, but no business has devel
oped yet Stocks of Tangtse wheat
are ordinarily ground up by this time
and outside supplies required.
The high steamship rates are bad
for Oriental buyers, but the lines claim
they are justified in maintaining the
present tariff. Tonnage "Is stiff and
millers and exporters cannot get out
side steamers under the regular lines'
rates. The latter are taking more In
terest In European and overland
freight, which makes It necessary for
millers to look to chartered steamers
to take care of their sales. When the
cotton and fish movement Is ended It
is believed the regular lines will be
looking for flour cargoes at rates under
those now quoted.
Trade In the coarse grain markets
was slack during the week, and the
tendency of prices was easy, although
offerings were not large.
Local receipts, in cars, were reported
by the Merchants' Exchange as follows:

ALFALFA FIRMER AT. COl'.VTKV POINTS
Supplies Bought lTp in Important Sections.
Shipments to East.
Commenting on the alfalfa situation,
a local dealer says:
"Marked firmness has developed In
the market for alfalfa hay. Within the
last four days the price on alfalfa has
advanced in the country 50 .cents per
ton, and offerings from the interior are
daily falling off. Reports received
from stock feeders in sections on the
O. R. & N., where alfalfa is heavily
grown, are to the effect that alfalfa
has been practically all bought up, and
they are experiencing trouble in buy
ing hay of suitable quality for feed
ing. Where six weeks ago alfalfa
could be purchased for $5 to $5.60 per
ton In the stack, growers are now ask
ing as high as $8 and feeders are be
ing forced to purchase at higher prices
n order to accommodate Their needs.
"From the Walla Walla country ship,
rr.ents of alfalfa are going to Northern
Idaho points at prices above those af
forded by the Coast markets. So far as
is known, none of the Southern Idaho
alfalfa has this year been shipped
West, the total surplus being taken by
Eastern purchasers. Several shippers
in the Yakima country report that the
crop of hay has been entirely sold and
is nearly all shipped out.
"With these conditions In effect at
the opening of the alfalfa season in
the Northwest, the outlook is for a
short supply throughout the season,
and it is expected that a sharp advance
will quickly come in the price of this
variety of hay."
LONDON HOP MARKET IS FIRMER
English Brewers More Interested and Higher
- Prices Expected.
The following cable was received
from London yesterday:
"There is firmer tendency to mar
ket. Growers refuse to sell at advance.
Buyers are operating moderately.
Brewers are more Interested. We con
sider situation warrants higher prices."
The fact that the English brewers
are beginning to take hold leads to
the hope that the coming week will
see more activity In the Oregon mar
ket than the past week. Very little
buxiness was put through In this state
yesterday. McNeff Bros, bought two
lots of Yakimas, aggregating 490 bales,
at 25 cents, and Poole bought 45 bales
of Yakima primes at 26 V4 cents. Her
ren was offering 25 cents In Western
Washington, but could not buy.
A German dealer wrote that the Ba
varian crop would be 70,000 ewt. less
than last year s.
The latest official Austrian report
states that the crop In the Saas dis
trict of Bohemia, now that picking Is
over, has turned out to be less than
w&k expected, and some areas were not
picked at all. In the Auscha district
the yield Is described as a poor aver
age, and the Bame is said of Upper
Austria and Styrla. The quality Is
generally considered very good, and
the hops although small, are rich in
lupulin.
CABBAGE SHIPPED TO CALIFORNIA
Several Cars Are Forwarded From This
State Tokays Will Be Higher.
California is affording a market just
now for Oregon cabbage. Owing to
the dry season in that state the supply
of cabbage has been sharply reduced.
Three cars have already gone from
here, two to San Francisco and one to
Los Angeles, and a few more will fol
low. The fruit market was fairly active.
Tokay grapes are very firm in the
South, and local prices will probably
be higher this week.
Solway peaches are still coming in,
but it is almost impossible to move
them. Pears were scarce and firm.
There was a fair demand for apples.
Three cars of bananas arrived late in
the day.
The growers' selling price of onions
'has been advanced to $1.60 a hundred.
Louisiana nice Crop Nearly Lost.
Reports from the Louisiana rice belt
indicate that while the crop has been
seriously damaged by recent torrential
rains, it has not been completely
ruined, as was fearea. The loss will
reach $1,000,000,- it is said, the greatest
perhaps the industry In Louisiana has
ever suffered. However, there is no
possible way of reaching an accurate
estimate.
Poultry Prices Are Shaded.
Poultry receipts were only cleaned
up by shading prices. Hens and springs
sold as low as 15 cents. Ducks were
also weak, but turkeys were steady.
Dressed meats sold at Friday's prices,
veal being the weak feature.
The egg market was firm, with few
Oregons available. Dairy produce was
unchanged.

RECOVERY IN STOCKS COMES LATE.
Market Able to Absorb Offerings at Week
End Prices.
NEW YORK. Oct. 18. It was onl after
a further recession of prices that the stock
market this week showed signs of suffi
cient absorptive power to resist effectively
the forces of depression. The contraction
of loans shown in the bank statement in
dicated that a release of credits had ac
companied the stock market liquidation.
This was despite the fact that a con
siderable portion of the liquidation was
from foreign sources.
The necessity of securing resources to
meet new commitments In foreign markets
apparently was the cause of this liquidation.
The field of these new commitments abroad
was indicated by the news of the prac
tical failure of a number of colonial lines
In London, the violent slump In the new
Brazilian Issue and by the preparations for
a coming Government loan in Parts, where
also the pressure of financing the Balkan
Indebtedness is yet to be met. The trou
bles in . Mexico added to the depression
on foreign markets.
That new financing in New York must
some time be provided for was intimated
by one or two actual new bond Issues and
by the reports of comprehensive plans for
several railroad Systems. The discourag
ing views of the outlook usually In a period
of declining prices were prevalent and the
reasons assigned for these views did not
differ materially from those heard for lomt
time past. Rumor, based on no tangible
developments, had it that the Administra
tion at Washington was planning exten
sive legislation on antitrust lines. There
was active discussion of the Government's
suit to divorce the Central Pacific, from the
Southern Pacific. Assertions made in some
of the public criticisms of the Glass-Owen
currency bill had an unsettling Influence on
the sentiment of operators In securities.
Industrials were hurt by reports of falling
off In demand for steel products, conces
sions in prices and some reduction of work
ing forces.

Market Is Buoyant From Open

LAST PRICES ARE BEST
Sliort Covering Forms Chief Impetus
for Advance Foreign Trade
Statement More Favorable
Than Expected.
NEW YORK. Oct. 18. The turn in
the tide on the Stock Exchange, which
began in a hesitating- way yesterday,
came definitely today.' Leading stocks
were marked up one to two points. The
tone of the market was strong: from
first to last. Can common and preferred
and American Sugar were the only im
portant exceptions to the general
movement. It was generally conceded
that the chief impetus for the advance
was derived from short covering.
The September statement of domestic
exports was above expectations, show
ing a gain of $19,000,000 over the corre
sponding period in 1912. An Increase of
$20,000,000 in cotton accounted for the
improvement.
The weekly reviews of the commer
cial agencies indicated that general
business was more active than a year
ago.
The outstanding feature of the bank
statement was. an actual reduction in
loans of $24,580,000, which reflected the
freeing of credits as a result of the
week's liquidation.
Bonds were irregular and derived lit
tle benefit from the rise in stocks.
Total sales, par value, $650,000. United

Swine Market in Satinfactorr Shape nt
Close Sheep and Lambs
Steady.
There was but little business trans
acted at the yards yesterday, as usual
on the closing day of the week.
Receipts were 25 cattle, 2 calves, 235
hogrs and 358 sheep. The shippers were
H. H. Vandert, Salem, two cars sheep;
Marster & ijon. Meridian, one car hogs;
C. B. Lucke, Canby, one car hoes; C.
B. Lucke. Canby, mixed load of cattle,
calves, sheep and hogs; Hugh Cum
mlngs, Jefferson City, one car hogs
and sheep; W. A. Harris, Lyle, one car
cattle and calves.
The sales In detail were as follows:
Weight. Price.
1 hog 670 $7.65
98 hogs '. 157 8.60
The official weekly market report
follows:
"Receipts for the week have been:
Cattle, 1931; calves, 412; hogs, 3151;
sheep, 3921; horses, 42.
"Optimism has ruled the cattle mar
ket this week and prices are B10c
higher than they were six days ago.
Prime steers and cows were in demand
and sold quickly. Best load of steers
averaged $8 early in the week. Other
top sales were $7.757.80. and $7.90 In
Bniall quantities. Butcher stuff had a
good outlet and buyers filled orders
with some choice cows, bulls and stags.
Bulk cow top was $6.506.75. with one
load at $6.90. Steer range closed $7.50
7.75 and bulls $5 5.50. A slight
flurry on Thursday eased prices off
about a nickel, but the stock offered
was not extra choice. By and large,
the beef situation has been very fa
vorable.
"Portland's swine market can always
be depended upon for surprises. It
sprang a new one this week by ad
vancing a full dime, to $8.75, and this
advance was made notwithstanding a
total receipt as large as that of last
week. Outlet has greater capabilities
than the trade anticipated, and the
run was disposed of at sellers' prices
Swine weights were better also, and
quality averaged high. Bulk of light
swine sold at $8.258.65; heavyweights,
$7.257.80.
"Mutton buying was limited to ewes,
as yearlings and old wethers were not
offered. A strong ewe top at $3.90
was established, and three full cars
went over the scales at that figure.
The lamb market was quiet to Wednes
day and then set a new October record
by going to $5.50 for an extra choice
lot of Washington stock, representing
tne taiiena 01 tne 1913 iamb run from
the Cascades. Bulk lamb top on aver
age good grades Is steady $5 (g 5.25. '

WHEAT RALLY BRIEF
Selling Pressure Keeps Chi
cago Prices Down.
LIVERPOOL CABLES FIRM
11 u life Are Piscoiiriijtcd by C'liancea
of Further Increase In Visible
Supply Monday Corn untl
Outs Are Weak.
CHICAGO, Oct. 18. Much Improved
support rallied wheat today from a de
cline that had reached 11c a bushel, but
the demand did not last and values
again receded. The market closed weak
At a shade lower to a shade higher.
Corn finished c to (?i)?sc down and
oats unchanged to up. In provis
ions, the outcome was a shade to 10c
decline.
Firmer Liverpool quotations and les.
sening of receipts Northwest gave the
wheat market a strong start. It was
said millers showed signs of taking
wheat on a larger scale. As a result,
shorts were forced to cover in a lively
manner, but investment demand proved
comparatively small.
When it began to appear that the
upturn in wheat would go only a mod
erate distance, many of the early buy
ers jumped back to the selling side.
Chances of a further gain in the visible
supply Monday, on top of a known in
crease of 20,000,000 bushels compared
with last year, had a discouraging ef
fect on the bulls. Pressure returned to
such an extent that all the advance was
lost and closing prices were at the low
est level of the day.
Lightness of offerings carried the
corn market upgrade for a while and
there were husking returns that Invited
bargain hunters. Predictions of fine
