TTTE 6UNtAY OEEGOXtAtf, FOTtTLAXD, AUGUST 21, 1921 FIVE MORE CARRIERS BOOKED FOR WHEAT iTotal of Charters for Load ing Here Raised to 23. LATE ACCESSIONS BRITISH Tli roc Additional Japanese Steam ers Engaged Not Vet Jfamed. Shipping Hoard Stands Pat. The number of steamers booked to load cargoes of grain at Portland was swelled to 23 yesterday when it became known that five British 'steamers had been fixed by various exporters for this trade. The steam ers are the (Jueen Margaret, Dunstan, Htlsun, 1'ennyworth and Swarnsby. Tlje charter rate was in the neigh borhood of 60 shillings. jThree additional Japanese steamers arid one Britisher also were char tered here Friday, but have not yet been named. The rate on these ves sels ranges around the present mar ker quotation of 60 shillings, except for one steamer which was taken at 61i 3d, with an option of barley loading at 63s 9d. JLno Dutch steamer whlch has loaded here before was offering yes terday at 60 shillings, as were two pmall Japanese steamers and one Greek steamer. An Italian steamer was on the charter market as low as 6Te 6d. The Greek and Italian etfamers have been carrying quanti ties of wheat from the Atlantic and golf coasts but are new to the Pa cific coast trade. Shipping; IVpnrd Stands Pat. in spite of the greater flow of wfceat export business through this pm-t than ever before, with a fall ing market for tonnage and reserva tions made months in advance by the exporters, operators and brokers of flipping board steamers have re ceived no authorization from the board officials to cut under the high and dry rate of 65 shillings a. ton, specified as the minimum by the board in Washington. Local .operators have advised the board dally of ad ditional charters of foreign vessels, and have kept Washington informed of the going rate, but the 65-shllling rule has held. If the shipping board adheres to its policy of the past the rate will be reduced to meet com petition after all the business in eight has been booked. The operators will then stand, by and wait for the foreigners to cut again. Since the beginning of the present cereal year 24 Japanese steamers and 13 Britishers have been chartered to carry wheat from Portland, as against three American vessels. The Americans were taken only because the exporters needed a steamer for Immediate loading. Enough steamship cargo space has been engaged for Portland loading since July 1 to carry 300,000 tons of wheat, exclusive of space in the liners carrying parcel lots. Export Kstlmate Made. r1t this year's wheat crop in this section, as is anticipated, amounts to 7(1,000.000 bushels, about 20.000.000 bushels will be needed for seed and local consumption, leaving 60,000,000 bushels to be sold. Of this amount pj-obably not more than 35,000,000 bushels, or roughly 1,000,000 tons, will be exported from Portland, the remainder of the 50.000,000 bushels moving coastwise, by rail, or through I'ucret sound, ports. 'The 300,000 tons of space already hooked for Portland loading, there f)Te, represents about one-third of th season's requirements. -Among the terms now offered by th'e foreign ships, which the shipping board must meet if the American flng is to fly over any appreciable nunntity of the two-thirds of a crop ypt lo find bottoms, are a rate of R shillings or less if the market drops, a range from Gibraltar to and Including Hamburg and the privilege rC adding two ports of discharge to ttf steamers' Itinerary for an addi tion of Is 3d to the charter rate Instead of 2s 6d, as is demanded 1J the shipping board. njiWJGIX-G WILL BE EESnrED ATork on Grays Harbor Port Ter Z minal lo SMrt Xext Week.

RADIO LOCATIONS RAPPED MASTER OF ROSE CITY INSISTS OX CIIAXiE. Present System Said to Make Bear ings Hard to Obtain; Plea Made forjSafe Tavig-ation. To insure safe navigation along the Pacific coast Captain T. J. Mae genn, master of the steamer Rose City and veteran skipper of many decades' experience, is hot after the government to have the present radio compass stations changed. "I maintain that tne present radio compass stations, except the one .at Point Reyes, are not in the fight place," said Captain Macgenn. "When traveling northward approaching Cape Mendocino I have to take a bearing overland to Table Bluff, and such bearings are never accurate. The establishing of the station at Mendocino would eliminate this. When traveling southward approach ing that cape I have to take a bear ing from astern, another difficult thing to do and liable to be inac curate. The reason that the depart ment owns the land at Table Bluff and farther north at Coos Bay coast guard station is not sufficient excuse for the radio compass stations being placed at those points with both Cape Mendocino and Cape Blanco some miles south of each respec tively, offering grave chances of error. "The water off Cape Blanco is al most too deep for establishing a lightship and is unsatisfactory for taking soundings for navigating purposes as the water does not be come shallow until actually at the reefs. "Before these two radio stations were established by the navy depart ment letters were sent to all promi nent navigators of first-class vessels and I gave the opinion that the sta tions should be situated at the promi nent points extending into the sea. "As an illustration of difficulties and inaccuracies it took Tatoosh island and Bremerton navy yard sev- ral years before they could get in ouch with each other and I was in formed on reliable authority that wire nets had to be placed on the mountains to make this possible. Whv should the station at Coos Bay be St miles north of the point it guards against. Cape Blanco? Why hould the station at xame biuii oe S miles north of Cape Mendocino? Admiral Rodman's advice to mariners to keep far off. Cape Blanco was un wise as the water, as stated before. Is too deep to sound for navigation nnrDOses." ' Captain Macgenn visuea uapiain E. S. Edwards. U. S. Inspector or Steamboats, and United States light house department at the customs building to illustrate his assertions by official charts and talk over the situation with men familiar 'with tne conditions along the coast. At pres ent he is writing a poem on William Fimnm. whom he idolizes and also trvlnir to change the 16th article of international law regulating naviga tion in a fog when two vessels meet. DAMAGE SUIT IS DROPPED Federal Judge 'Wipes Out Last Vestige of Strike 1UIgatlon. On instructions from the depart ment of Justice at Washington, D. C, United States Attorney Humphreys yesterday dropped efforts to collect (10.000 damages for delay of mails through the strike of six marine unions. Simultaneously, Federal Judge Bean vacated the injunctions against members of the unions, thus wiping tut the last vestige of government litigation growing out of the strike. Striking seamen wno were prose cuted and sentenced while the injunc tion order was in effect Will serve ouj their sentences, however, a special ruling being received on this matter. in line with tne recommenaation oi Humphreys. Ships Sail for West Coast. The American steamers Jeptha of the General steamsnip corporation and Santa Cruz of W. R.

The isthmian line maintains two distinct cervices to and from Portland, one connecting this port with the United Kingdom, and the other with the Atlantic coast of this country. The use of refrigerated steamers is con templated for the present only in the European service. Refrigerated space to Europe is al ready available in the monthly steam era oft the Holland-America line touching at European ports. One or two of the intercoastal liners of the Atlantic Gulf & Pacific Steamship corporation have also been equipped with large cool rooms and the Wil liams bteamship company has in stalled a lorced draft syBtem in one of its Intercoastal freighters for ven tilating one of the holds with mois tened air.

RATE ON LOGS RAISED VASOOIVER MEETS INCREASE' AT ASf ERICAX PORTS. British Columbia Shipping In terests Adopt Policy of Main taining Schedules In Trade. VANCOUVER, B. C, Aug. 20.- (Special.) Shipping companies of this port have decided to follow the Port land and San Francisco shipping con cerns in lifting the west-bound rate on logs to, J17.au. Heretofore these logs have taken the lumber rate. Although Vancouver hipp:ng in terests have no conference, owing to the dissolution of the northern con ference, there has been no cutting in rates, all lines maintaining the rates quoted by Portland and San Fran cisco. Atlantic steamship companies wishing to maintain rates to the orient are finding it difficult t6 get co-wperation in trans-shipping trade the Pacific lines because of the lack of a single conference to deal with. All shipping companies are slow about increasing rates, knowing that just the minute the rate becomes ttractive to the companies and the government with many ships riding idle, those ships will be launched into the market causing another collapse, of rates. Companies in operation are anxious to keep their ships moving, even if profits are light, and they are not courting opposition from the .vast fleet of idle steamers in nearly all the large ports of the world.- Whenever a rate question comes up In Vancouver now there is a round-table of the shiDDine men called and they go extensively Into. ... . 1 1 .a 1. 1-. i ucaiing iiiii lb 11 villi win local and international angles. Canadian shipping companies are agreed that as iong as the rates are maintained to the south they will stand pat" here, but whenever any cutting begins they have their 10 per cent exchange for advantage in the conflict.

They were almost dou ble this summer, that Is. fl.fl78.0fl0.OO0. 12 months later. They are down at pres ent to f052.428.00O. . Frozen Credits Remain, tt thus appears that while (treat proB rfs has been made toward liquidation in commercial lines, commercial loans at the federal reserve hanks are still f I'OO.OOO 000 aboy what they were 20 months airo. One sees In this the evidence, that, while paying off bank loans haa nona on rapidly and thorouKhly in many lines, there still remain certain big items ot -froEen credits." Among these is the vast floatlna debt estimated at something; like f 4.. 100 000 -"00 representing accumulation of years of unpaid balances due this country In the foreign trade, which the banka have bad to carry. Then there are the enormous supplies of raw materials of various kinds conon. rubber, sugar, hides and the wnicn it would be difficult to sell under present conditions even if the sell ers were willing:, which thev ere nt i- most instances, to accept their heavy losses. These unsold surpluses are also a deadweight upon shoulders of the banks. Flood of Gold Fours In. . The rest of the world since the first of the year has gent upwards of f400.000.000 goio into tnia country. It has pretty well rrached the utmost that it can do along this line, and yet ll has not been able to keep pace with the excess of American exports plus the intereat owed American holders of foreign bonds. Outside of a gold settlement there are three wav tn equaflze the international balance sheet. One is for the United States heavily to Increase Its purchase of foreign commodi ties, another la for us to accept payment for our claims in foreign securities, and the third is the much discussed project of financing the foreign trade with Ameri can credit. None of these three means of liquida tion looks particularly promising at the moment. The latest trade figures have shown that, of the great shrinkage in our importa during the last 12 months, two-thirds is represented by raw mater ial for our manufacturing Industry. A reasonable inference from this Is that the imports will not revive until the mills and factories start up here. American Capital Needed at Home. The occasional sale of European and South American government and municipal issues, which haa been going on for the last year, is all very weli. but the aggre gate of these offerings, when set beside the foreign debt to us, is small. There is a prejudice, moreover, against American investment capital going into foreign loans in any very large way, while it is so urgently needed at home for such enter prises as the proposed railway refunding and loans to Industrial concerns tending to aid a domestic revival. As for the third means of adjustment, namely, the granting to foreign countries of long term credits from here, one is im- mwi run mn GROWING r Willi tup, MiiL-4UiiKUiifaMmj;-uuw Vi (Regular service between Portland.

Autumn Activity Predicted. In business circles the talk Is still of more activity when the normal time for Improvement arrives. that is in the autumn. This idea is expressed hy au thorities like the Iron Age, which is cer tainly not given to undue optimism, and it also appears in the public utterances of bankers and business men. On the other hand, professional Wall Street has kept still and it seems it Is basing calcu lations upon lack of industrial revival be fore In this view it may easily be mistaken. Stock market sentiment ia notoriously mercurial. It could change over-night nd the change might come at the first sign of rising prices in any important quarter, say iron and steel, or oil. Unfor tunately it looks now as if the thing which might have started these buying orders flowing is to be indefinitely post poned because the majority in the senate insists upon taking a vacation before there has been time to put through the railway refunding bill. MEXICAN OIL CASES SET Supreme Court Will Hold Public Meetings Beginning Tuesday. !EXlCO CITY. Augr. 20. (By tha Associated Tress.)
