TITE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, FORTTLAXD. OCTOPKT? 26, 1913. 17 CULLS TO BE SUE Harrison Line Plans Regular Service to Portland. TRANSFER PORT TALKED Manager Talbot Declares That Only Faster Liners Will Eake Through Run Slower Ships Handled Via Panama City. Desiring to retain recognition as the pioneer European line on the Pacific Coast, the Harrison line, which has a fleet of modern steamers running to San Francisco and Puget Sound on schedule, with intermittent calls here, intends sending larger ships to the Pa cific Coast, and they will visit Portland regularly. Davies & Fehon. who handle Immense amounts of lumber from the North Pacific Coast to Australia, say they will send as large vessels to the Columbia River as can be accommo dated and profitably nancaea. wnne other firms, directing tne movemenu of tramps and liners, have their gaze focused on this section ior tuture duoi- M. Talbot, manager of the Port of Portland who is at home irom a dus,i ness trip to the Golden Gate In the interest nf the towine and piloting and drydock departments, brings news of the maritime benefits that are In store for this port. He sayg there is a grow ing impression that when the Panama Canal is in use there win not db bu manv flneta running through from Kurope, as has been assumed, for Pan ama, on the east coast. Is being eyed the nrobable transfer point. Many cargo consignments will be discharged there and forwarded to (jauiornia, uio fron and Washington on vessels mak ing the through run. Mr. Talbot savs there is, of course, no feeling that all trade will become a 'transfer proposition, or that tnere win not be several lines maintain a direct service from Europe, but some of those projected are expected to find that the ones with fast schedules and greatest Influence will reap the bulk of the business, and return cargoes from this side will not be sufficient for several years to fill the tonnage that may seek it San Salvadore steamship Interests are said to be the latest to become in terested in a line to Northwest har bors, and the possibilities are under consideration. various interests as to the outlook for commercial business, should a wireless plant be re-eatablished here. A. R. Ginman. manager of the com pany on the Coast, with headquarters at San Francisco, has been interested in the plan, and Mr. Irwin's coming is a result of the venture having been proposed to him. Should an areo be raised, it will be the property of the company, not a plant used jointly with an organization or individual. RIVER BOATS IV COLLISION STKA5EER GANGWAYS WIDENED Alaska Dock Site Being Cleared, but New Wharf Not Planned. Minor innovations being carried out by the San Francisco & Portland line for the accommodation of the traveling public, as .well as to save time in handling passengers, include the Intro duction of wider gangplanks for steam ers, and the present style, wide enough only for one person, is to be discarded soon for a double plank. That will mean that the opening in the railing of each steamer will have to be en larged. The scheme has been tested on the steamer T. .1. Potter, of the river fleet, and on one or-oion 275 persons were loaded In ten minutes. The 0.-W. R. & N. management has Rear. ..." started a gang of men clearing and .loanoke. burning debris about the Alaska dock Rose City site and removt.it all accumulation! Shaver Cats Through Guard and Into Hull of La Center. Her pilot having mistaken two whistles given by the steamer Shaver to the steamer Alarm, as intended for her, the sternwheeler La Center crossed the bow of the Shaver off St. Johns at midnight Friday and was struck for ward of the engine-room, the stem of the Shaver cutting into her hull about four feet. The La Center was beached adjoining- the plant of the St Johns Shipbuilding Company, where she will be repaired. United States Inspectors Edwards and Fuller will investigate the accident this week. The Shaver left Portland soon after 11 o'clock and was bound downstream, while the La Center was en route here from the Lewis River. As the vessels approached, the Shaver's whistle was sounded once, the La Center answering. The Alarm was bound here with a log raft and two whistles given her by the Shaver were mistaken by the skipper of the La Center, who is said to have answered, and then changed his course. There was no one injured. Marine Notes. As no steamer has been officially an nounced to sail from Portland In De cember for the Royal Mail, other than the Den of Alrlie, which may be ad vanced so she can depart the latter part of the month, the recently char tered steamer Harpagus will probably be dispatched. The British steamer Orteric, also taken, may be sent direct from the coast to London via the Straits of Magellan. The British steam er Vennachar was reported yesterday to have been engaged by the Royal Mail for one round voyage from Japan to the Coast and return. In completing her cargo for Califor nia the steamer Daisy Qadsby is to shift today from St Helens to Prescott and goes later to Rainier an'l West port After making two trips to Nestucca the gasoline schooner Delia is to be ordered out of commission for thi Win ter. She arrived Friday night 6ni nails Tuesday, About 400 tons of cargo was hrouprht by the steamer Mayfalr, which dis charged at Couch street yesterday. She loads for San Francisco with grain under deck and is to work a deckload of lumber. Owing to the late arrival of the steamer Alliance from Eur.ika md Coos Bay her sailing from hero has been postponed until tomorrow night. Hudson Mam Found Unhurt. ASTORIA, Or., Oct. 25. (Special.) This morning Captain Veysey, Lloyd's surveyor, assisted by Fritz De Rock, a diver, made a survey of the Japanese steamer Hudson Maru, which was aground for a couple of days near the mouth of the Willamette River. The vessel was found to be uninjured and she will proceed to sea tomorrow. ENGLISH HOPS FIRM Decline in Foreign Markets Has Been Checked.

Take Over An other British Ship. Hind. Rolph & Co., of San Francisco, owners of the British ships Golden Gate and Wm. T. Lewis, as well as u. coastinjr fleet, have added to their square-rigged tonnage through acquir ing the British four-masted iron bark Drummuir. which was sold by the Barneson-Hibberd Company. The ves sel is within the Golden Gate, being prepared for a voyage from the Coast to Sydney with lumber. The Drummuir has been in the coal trade between Newcastle and San Fran cisco for several years. She was built at Liverpool in 1882. Another San Francisco-owned ship headed here Is the British bark Yeoman, which, like the British ship Lord Templeton, now load ing at Prescott, is owned by Eschen & Minor. The Yeoman was towed by the steamer Falcon and arrived in the river yesterday. She loads lumber here for South Africa, to RATES APPLY NOVEMBER Oriental-Transcontinental Tariff Prove Beneficial. Through rates decided on by trans continental railroads having North Pa cific Coast terminals, by which sh ments originating In the Eastern ter ritory can be routed by rail and water to the Far East, as well as consign ments from over the Pacific being sent to any destination in the United States, bo into eriect November 1. . The Northern Pacific, Great North,' ern and O.-W. R. & N. participate In the tariff and commercial Interests are sure that large firms beyond the Rockies handling electrical and steam machinery and countless shipments of a less bulky character, will route via Portland to have their stuff forwarded on steamers of the Royal Mail and Hamburg-American fleets. Others im porting from the Orient will be Im portuned to Indicate the same routing. GRAIN TONNAGE PLENTIFUL Some of En Route Fleet Disengaged and Others Offering. Exporters checking over the list of carriers Douna nere to work grain cargoes for Europe have concluded that there are abundant facilities prospec tive to take care of grain to be moved during the forthcoming two months and do net expect chartering to reopen until January. Few ships are offering and with the Inverurie, en route from Buenos Ayres, and the Howth. coming from Newcas tle, N. S. W., not having homeward en gagements, they will be available later. Dickering is going on with Japanese interests for wheat, but nothing has been sold for a week. Large lots are under contract on this side for ship ment across the Pacific during the next two months.

M 8.2 feet!4:0S A. M O.t foot 10:86 P. M....7.7 feet4:46 P. M 1.4 feet Hopmen look for a revival of Eng lish buying in the comintT week. The foreigners, by keeping out of the mar ket for the past 10 days, have sue ceeded in getting the price down to a point where they are more interested. It Is also evident that they have been successful in beating down the price In England. It may have been to ac complish this latter result that they bought so heavily in America after the season opened. At any rate, the decline abroad has been checked, and it is believed that purchases of English hops from now on will be large. In this country the bearish tactics did not make much im pression, except on the lower grades of hops. Holders of choice goods are no more disposed to sacrifice them now than earlier In the year. The sagging tendency of primes and mediums has proved a boon for the short sellers, who closed up many of their accounts which had been left open after the slump early in October. A cable received from London yes terday said: "Market inactive, firm, but unchanged. Continental markets very firm." It is estimated that between 85.000 and 90,000 bales of hops have been bought in the United States to date for export, while purchases for domestic account are figured at 135,000 bales. It was reported yesterday that E. C Kirkpatrick had sold loO bales to Dur bin for Wigan. Richardson & Co., at 24 cents. Bishop bought the Nightingale crop of 200 bales at Dallas at 21 and 22 cents. He also paid 21 cents for the Sharp lot of 160 bales and the Brown lot of 70 bales, both at North Yamhill. Two small lots In the same section were sold at 20 cents. H. L. Hart bought a carload from John Murray and George Rosich, of Aurora, and 230 bales in the Silverton and Forest Grove sections. The market in Washington was quiet. MoNeff Bros, paid 20 cents for the 75- bale Anderson lot of Yakimas. Since the season opened 1900 bales have been shipped out of Puyallup to England. NEW ZEALAND'S EXPORTS ARE LARUE. Shipped Nearly Fifty Million Pounds of But ter in Past Year. The probability of the importation of food products from New Zealand gives interest to a trade report Just received from Vlce-Consul-General L. A. Bachelder at Auckland. The total exports of butter from New Zealand to the United Kingdom from Septem ber, 1912, to July 31, 1913, were 578.625 boxes of 66 pounds each, and to Can ada 113,305 boxes, or more than double the quantity (53,112 boxes) the pre vious year. The exports of frozen mutton, beef and lamb total 282,800,792 pounds for the year ended June 30. The figures for the first six months of 1913 show a considerable Increase In lamb ex ported, with a small falllntr off In quantities of mutton and hepf. The comparative figures for the six months ended June 30 are as follows: 1312. 11)13. Pounds. Pounds.

Great interest is taken in the Dominion in the modification of the United States tariff in regard to wool, which pro ducers expect to cause a much greater demand for this product of New Zealand. LACK OF TRADING IN WHEAT MARKET. Some Demand From Orient, But at Low Prices. The grain markets were decidedly slow at the close of the week. About the only demand for wheat was from Oriental buyers, and their bids, as a rule, were a cent under the market In spite of the inactivity, prices were maintained at a steady level by hold era. The demand for oats and barley was also slow. Prices were unchanged. Local receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: Wheat. Bar. Fir. Oats. Hav.

Last Shipment This Year Over Northern Pacific Is Received. The last banana train over the North ern Pacific this year arrived yesterday. There were four cars for Portland and they were delivered In fine condition The first Southern Pacifio shipment will be in Wednesday. The bananas were reported out of Los Angeles yes terday in good Bhane. Very few peaches were received yes terday. There Is still a good sjpply cn the street, but the stock is being worked off and the market is firmer. Good grapes were firm at $1.35 for Tokays and $1.25 for Malagas. Local grapes that showed the effect of rain were hard to move. A car of cranberries Is due Wednes day. The market is firm and the fresh shipment will probably sell at $9. Former receipts have been closely sold up. coma for the past week and eorespondlng week In former years were Portland. 1913 814.9.-.1.0N2 1012 12.272.477 1911 9.S2U.W.2 1909...... 8.33U.SD3 1(HS 0.058.292 1907 5.010,840 1'tOO 0.:t2S,nti4 1905 4.f4f:.5t2 1904 .. 4.374.117 1903 3.54S.S1H Seattle.

The small fluctuations in stocks which occurred today grave no indication of the trend of speculative sentiment. Trading was unusually light, but the small offer ings made were sufficient to depress prices generally. The customary week-end covering late in the session caused a slight up turn, which restored the list to about a parity with yesterday's final range. There was a general disposition to await developments of the next few days, as was shown by the lack of in itiative on either .side of the market. Damage to the corn crop In the Southwest was reflected In Atchison's September statement, which showed a decrease in net earning's of $241,000. Northwestern's net fell off $106,000, while Northern Pacifio made a gain of $239,000 'in net revenue. The bank statement did not make as strons a showing as had been expect ed. There was a cash loss of $1,767,000 Instead of the predicted gain of about that amount and a small shrinkage in the reserve. Sterling exchange fell to a new low point for the year, being In fluenced by the large exports of cot ton and grain. Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value, $695,000. United States regis tered 2a advanced the 2s coupon 1, the 4s and Fanama 2 li on call on the week. The stock market of the week re vealed a better balance . between the opposing parties to speculation than for some time past. This resulted In shifting markets, as first the bullish and then the bearish view prevailed Arguments derived from Government acts of policies were given most force on the side of recoveries in stocks while financial and trade considera tlons still constituted a "drag on the advance. Much capital was made of the ad vance In freight rates allowed to the railroads by the Interstate Commerce Commission In the Missouri "River ter ritory. The amount of increase in rev enue for the railroads in the aggregate is small. Nevertheless, some sweeping Inferences were drawn from the decis ion, because of Its possible bearing on the wider question of the general ad vanoe in rates asked for by the East ern railroads. Reports from the steel trade also threw into prominence the supposed necessities of the railroads for In creased compensation In order to stim ulate their demands for a material ad vance. Steel prices and even pig Iron prices showed a soft tone. Current consumption, however, continues large, The same Is true of general trade, in spite of the fact that hand to mouth buying Is adhered to In many lines. There was less anxiety over the sub ject of banking and currency legisla tion, because of the belief that changes would be allowed which will increase the favor of bankers toward the meas ure. United States 2s scored a smart recovery in the market price. Domestlo money conditions moved money with greater ease with the ap proach of satisfaction or Interior de mands on reserve centers. Rapid mar keting of the crops as well as the ef fect of deposits of treasury funds con duced to this result. No marked re laxation of the tightness in the gen eral market for capital has occurred. Frost damage to cotton and the Mex ican news were factors to disquiet.

The egg market is firm with 43 cents quoted on candled Oreg'ons.

Prices of Onions Advanced. Association onions will sell in the coming week at $1.75 f. o. b. It is not likely that many cars will be offered, as the growers are too busy finishing their farm work to get them out. Six cars were sold in the past week at $1.60. Bank Clearings.

EUGENE, Or., Oct. 25. (Special.) That the Southern Pacific is taking over the steam lines of the Portland, Eugene & Eastern only as a factor In a general retrenchment policy, to save duplication of operating expenses and that as fast as the Portland, Eugene i Eastern is electrified the lines will re vert to Independent control, was the an nouncement made here Friday by I R. Fields, superintendent of the Southern Pacific lines in Oregon, who, with other officials, made a trip of inspection over the Portland, Eugene & Eastern to Cor vallis. He was accompanied by F. M. Slefer, division engineer of the South ern Pacific, and by H. A. Hinshaw, gen eral freight agent. They came from Albany this morning on a gasoline rail road automobile, took dinner here and left immediately for Corvallls. "The change, so far as I can see, af fects only the steam lines," said Mr. Fields today. "As long as these roads are operated by steam they will be op erated by the Southern Pacifio Com pany. When they are electrified they will be the Portland, Eugene & Eastern lines. I understand that Mr. Strahorn remains at the head of the Portland, Eugene & Eastern, and that the oper ating of the electric lines are not af fected by the change. "You see there are three branches of the Portland, Eugene & Eastern line operated by steam that from Corvallis to Eugene: that from Willamtna to Sheridan and that from Canby to Mo lalla. Each of these are joined to the Southern Pacific and Instead of making different trains over these branches, the trains will continue as Southern Pa cific trains." Three states have been added thus far during the year to the number of states now using either the indeterminate sen tence probation or parole systems. These are Maine, Nevada and Oregon. Decrease.

Sentiment against the hears did not manifest itself In the weat pit until after the market had suffered an early setback, due chiefly to the fluttering outlook for the Winter crop. Caule quotations, however, were relatively firm and the chief obstacle to an ad vance was the fact that there was no urgent outside demand. Adverse weather ahead brought about an upturn in corn. Oats were under considerable pres sure from the bears, but rallied a little with corn. Shipping demand was fair. Provisions made a sharp advance, the result of & rise in the price of hogs.
