WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 2. (Spe
cial.) The shipping board has received
a cable from its Lonaon agent an
nouncing that a purchaser stands com
mitted to take over 20 wood steamships
of the Ferris type; that the prospective
buver has deposited funds In bank
awaiting acceptance of his offer and
That he has been given a 30-days op
tion on the purchase of an additional
100 ships. The cable asked authority
to sign a contract for the sale of the
CO vessels and this authority has been
cabled to him.
Under the terms of the sale the
buyer agrees to pay 10 per cent of the
purchase price upon signing of the
contract, and the balance upon deliv
frv. Upon signing of the contract, the
buyer will name his American agent
who will represent him in the matter
cf deliveries.
All of the vessels to be sold in this
rroup are of 3500 deadweight tons,
which is equivalent to 2333 gross tons.
The purchaser pays $300,000 for each
vetsel.
:5S Sold Previously.
This sale will bring the total num
ber of wood ships disposed of up to 58,
a fleet of 3S having previously been
sold. In the last group of this type of
ve?sel sold by the shipping board were
seven 4500 deadweight ton vessels and
five of 4000 deadweight tons. They
were &old at a flat rate of $450,000
each.
The sale of wood steamships by the
chipping board offers the only oppor
tunity in the world market today for
the purchase of seagoing tonnage at
a very attractive price, and when these
vessels are sold, the market for this
class of tonnage will be closed indef
initely and it is doubtful if another
such opportunity to purchase new and
serviceable ships will present itself for
years to come, if at all.
Wood steamships built by the United
Ptates shipping board were built for
the war emergency, but they were
built for service just as much as the
steel steamships were built for service,
and are performing excellent work in
overseas and coasting shipping at the
present time.
The shipping board buitt wood shipe
and Lloyd George insisted that the
British should build wood ships in
Canada, in Australia and in England.
A committee of British shipping men
called upon him and protested against
the government s spending money on
wood ships, making the claim that
They were not as effective as steel
t hips. etc. After listening attentively
to their protests. Lloyd George made
: h is statement: "Gentlemen, all you say
about wood ships being inferior to
Fteel ships is undoubtedly true, and
under ordinary conditions I would be
governed entirely by your judgment
But we are now a"t war, and we cannot
win the war without ships, whether
i hey be wood, steel, or any other kind.
If these ships will make but two or
three trips, build them. "VVe must have
chips."
Kaotory In Cloned.
It was under the same urge, but with
a decidedly higher opinion of the serv
iceability of wood ships, that the
shipping board entered upon its wood
shipbuilding programme. Now the
war is over, the factory is closed for
The further production of wood ships,
and the last opportunity is open for the
purchase of prof it -earning tonnage at
a fair price. Those who would pur
chase or build steel steamships will
have to pay whatever price may be
asked in the future, and then will be
Itjoky to get deliveries of ships in what
Is sure to be an epoch of unprecedented
demand for ocean tonnage.
Wood steamships at $i0 per ton are
good value at bottom rates for imme
diate delivery. With prevailing freight
rates in overseas trade and a growing
demand for cargo space for shipments
to all parts of the world, the purchase
and utilization of wood ships at this
Time might well be the first step in
the establishment of shipping lines
with unlimited opportunities for ex
pansion. The profits from the earnings
of wood ships might start a new con
cern in its growth.
Wood ships have their advocates and
their enthusiasts who may sometime
make extravagant cla tfns. The wood
Miips of the United States shipping
board are backed by no such argu
ments. It is true that wood ships
usually enjoy Ions and prosperous lives
when given proper attention and eff i
ciently operated, and that a number of
such ships. 40, 50 or even 60 years old
are stil! carrying cargoes at a profit
and carrying them dry. It is also true
that there is a reasonable prospect for
profitable operation of wood ships far
into the future.
Ship Offered on Merit.
The United States shipping board,
however, offers its wood ships for sale
on their merits. Many of them are in
active ser ice and can be judged on.
the sod ground of past performance.
Others are being fitted out in wet ba
gins, and are of the same type and con
struction of those in actual service
and similarly equipped. Others can be
purchased as bare hulls, and can be
fitted out as steamships or converted
Into barges as the purchaser may de
sire. As to performance there are now
1T4 wood steamships, of 614.116 dead
weight tons, under operation by the
shipping board in varied services to
all parts of the world. Most of these
steamships are of 3T00 deadweight tons
each. Three are of 4 000 and two of
4vJ9 tons each. Thirty-one are under
charter and 143 assigned for operation.

by
board the McCormick line steamer
Tiverton. The lumber, which shows
not a flaw or knothole in the entire
cargo, was consigned to the Nicolal
N'eppaeh company. The Tiverton went
to Westport last nifrht to load fir lum
ber for the return trip to California.
Seamen's Demands Refused.
MELBOURNE. Aug. i. The Austral
ian government today rejected the con
ditions under which the striking sea
men agreed to return to work. The
government definitely refused to re
lease Secretary Walsh of the seamen's
union, which was one of the men's demands.
STRIKERS HAVE NO JOBS
Longshoremen Expected to Do Work
Vnder New Scheme Formerly
in Control of Liners.
Shipliners of the Columbia river dis
trict, in striking- for hlchrr ni
ave simply worked themselves mi, of
employment. A shipping board order
-ssued yesterday, llnon the refusal nt
shipliners to return to work at their
oia wasres, abolished the practice of
linincr ships. Hereafter shipping board
vessels loading flour or wheat will not
oe nnea with lumber, but will have the
cargo protected by "dunnage," or loose
luniDer piled under and around the
nour or wheat.
Longshoremen sent yesterday to load
ciunnasa lumber aboard the wheat car
riers Tripp and West Harshaw refused
to work, under the impression that the
urr.Der was to be used for linincr. be
cause they did not wish to interfere in
the strike of the shlpliners. It is ex
pected, however, that when the purpose
of the lumber is understood by the
longshoremen it will be loaded without
delay.
Work Is Misunderstood
"We have no intention of going out
on strike in sympathy with the ship
liners, ' said F. E. Buchtmann, business
ent for vhe longshoremen's union
esierua. we are doing our own
work and that only, and are not con
cerned with whether the shipliners do
theirs or not. The men who were sent
down to the Tripp and West Harshaw
this morning came back under the im
pression that they were expected to
work a3 strikebreakers.
The shipliners. who are affiliated
with the riggers' union, have been on
trike for three weeks but no vessels
have been delayed because in that time
there have been none awaiting lining.
The workmen demand an increase of
pa"- to 87 cents an hour and an extra
compensation of $3.50 per day for'work
out of town.
I.lninc Apparently Abolished.
William F. Woodward, chairman
the state board of conciliation
speakinar yesterday of the strik
shipliners and riggers, said that the
board, if asked to mediate in this
strike, would do so only on condition
that the men return to work pending
the outcome of the mediation.
Inasmuch as the occupation of these
men has been abolished, and that they
could not now return to work if they
would, it is evident that the present
strike of shipliners will join the list
of strikes that were never settled.
The. "dunnaging" of ships is the com
mon commercial practice to protect
perishable cargoes from bilge water.
Lining ships with lumber nailed into
place is a more expensive procedure
which has grown up in recent years to
afford the cargoes more perfect protection.

ASTORIA. Or.. Aug. 2. Special.)
The law of supply and demand is hav
ing: its effect in the salmon fisheries
with the result that at least one can
nery is openly offering the fishermen
13 cents a pound for chinooks. while
some independent buyers are said to be
paying; as high as 15 cents. The rutins
price since the opening of the season
has been ll1 cents a pound.
This increase was caused by the
slack run of fish here as well as at
every other point on the coast and in
Alaska and . the consequent enormous
demand for the cured product. Some
packers say the pack on the river is
fully one third below normal, although
there is yet time, should -big runs of
! Chinooks come, to make up a goodly
portion of this shortage before the
The first two. weeks of the season
were exceptionally successful ones,
with a steady-run of fine Chinooks and
a large amount of first-grade fish was
put up during that period. Since that
time the ca-tch has been slack with an
occasional spurt that' soon dropped
back again. During the early part of
the present week the catch showed a
considerable increase, but since then
the take has fallen off. However, as
the eggs in the fish now entering the
river are far from being developed,
knowing ones assert that owing to
weather and water conditions the fish
are late this year and good runs may
be looked for in the near future.
One peculiar thing this season is
that while practically every plant is
short in its pack, some of them have
the normal amount of first-grade
goods, the great shortage being in the
lower grades.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2. The stock market
this week was perceptibly influenced by
sharp flurry in call loans, further weak
ness of foreign exchange, especially the Pari:
rates, and the nation-wide crusade against
the high living cost.
There were numerous neutralizing devel
opments. notably the quarterly financial
statement of the L nited States Steel cor
poration, which fully met general expects
tiona; further advances in prices of stee
and iron products and continuance of th
broad inquiry for copper.
Speculative issues under pool supervision

notably rails, were irregular when not dis

Coffee Futures Still Declining.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2. The market for
coffee futures was generally weak through
out the entire session, under continued sell
ing prompted by the efforts being made to
cut living costs, especially as to foodstuffs,
and a drop of 204 reis in No. 7s at Rio.
The opening of the market was 10 to 15
points lower and, while December subtle
quentW advanced 10 points to 21.20c, there
was active selling on all bulges and final
prices proved to be the lowest for the day
