"I was indeed surprised to find such a modern and extensive ocean terminal and such a magnificent harbor as you have here," remarked Admiral S. "VV. S. Benson of the United States shipping board, just before leaving lor Portland tonight. "Your port is certain to develop in importance with the growth of ship ping on the Pacific coast." A party consisting of Admiral Benson, ex-Senator Chamberlain and Meyer I.issner of the shipping board, Clifford W. Smith, secretary of the board, and Charles W.

Senator Chamberlain said It was 18 months el nee he had been In Astoria and ho was pleased to see the vast nurriber of improvements, particu larly the big docks and terminal fa cilities which have been provided. "I see by their work," he added, "that the Astorians are earnestly behind the movement for the crea tion of a big merchant marine." Commissioner Lissner said, there was nothing official in the visit here today and added: W simply wanted to accept the hearty Invita tion extended by the Astoria people to visit their cits, and I can truth fully say we are glad we came. Neither Admiral Benson nor I had ever been in Astoria and we eagerly accepted the invitation to visit a city which has an historic past and a commercial future." "Women Are Feted. Mrs. Benson and Mrs. C D. "Wood, daughter of ex-Senator Chamber lain, accompanied the party down the Columbia. The women were en tertained by a committee composed of Mrs. Rodger D. Pinneo, Mrs. W. A.

The- shipping (board party Is to rpand today resting, at least no pub llo entertainment Is to be carried out They are to open a .public hearing on. section 28, of the Mer chant Marine act, at 10 o'clock to morrow morning In the. old postof f ica building, ' Sixth and Morrison streets, which may continue until Tuesday afternoon. Hearings on Puget. sound are scheduled for "Wednesday and Thursday, and the latter part of the month at San Francisco and- Los Angeles. Oregon shipping Interests are to appear before the commissioners and present a mass of detailed data relative to shipping of the Columbia river district, showing the amount handled in past years on foreign and American ships. The traffic bureau of the Port of Portland commission and commission of public docks will be represented by H. L. Hudson, and the Chamber of Commerce by W. D. B. Dodson, general manager. Gus C. Moser, attorney for the Port of Portland, "W. P. La Roche, attorney ior tne commission of public docks. and J. N. Teal, as attorney for the Chamber of Commerce In the case. have labored in the compilation of much data In support of the conten tion here that section 28 should not be enforced at present, because the amount of American tonnage in the Pacific trade is not sufficient to meet the demands. section 28 affords preferential rates to freight moving via rail and water if handled In American ships ana ,tne contention Is that with for eigii tonnage handling the bulk of cargo to and from Portland, the en forcement of the provisions of the section should not be exacted for the present. The shipping board committee is to report to the Inter stat commerce commission the re sult of Its hearings. COLD SAILINGS TO RESUME Refrigerator Service to United Kingdom to Be Every 30 Days. v Resumption of the refrigerator service of the Green Star line the latter part of September, the steam er Blue Star being due then at Port land, has been announced through the "Pacific Steamship company by H. H. .Eaton, general agent here. Mr. Eaton says the schedule pro vides for a sailing every 30 days to United .Kingdom ports. Vessels of the line have been here in the past, but a schedule has been maintained during the fruit-ship ping season, since the vessels are primarily for refrigerator consign mejits. With other lines bidding as well for apples and other fruit dee tined for Kuropean ports, it is prob able the movement from Portland this season will exceed the showing made ior tne 1921-zz period.

Damage to Spring Grain Has Not Developed to Any Serious Ex tent; Export Trade Better. The weekly review of the grain mar ket and growing crops by Peter S. Good man, of Clement. Curtis & Co., Chicago, as wired to Jordan-Wentworth Co.. fol lows: L Private reports kept the wheat mar ket up to recent valus during the early .part of the 'week. butte-ward the lost trading was at declining prices. Weak ness was mostly in the later deliveries based on better prospects in the spring wheat region where no material trouble has developed. The market at present is purely a crop prospect affair. Tthe small deliveries on contracts are making the sellers of the July option nervous, and as the wet harvest is general, the receipts are small with sales for export increas ing. The spring wheat crop Is now the main consideration and damage has not de veloped to any extent so far. over the three important states. The weather has been favorable to growth and the plant is progressing towards the ripening stage.. The fear of black rust persists and will continue to do so until the crop is safe from Its effects, or the damage develops in the final etage, as it frequently has done in the past. The prospect on the government average Is for a crop of around 250.000,000 bushels, but this will be materially revised should the crop escape rust injury. The Pacific north west has a poor orop and is now beyond Improvement. Export trade has been Improving. The amount of wiheat available from the southern hemisphere Is emaller than last year and as harvest is reached in this country and Canada, the outward flow of wheat should be as large as lost year. Wltb the fall down In the winter wheat crop, the total wheat this soson will not exceed last year at the best and may fall below. This will make for a stronger market In the long run. In the mean time, the trade has to carry the load of the new' crop hedging until the export movement reduces the hedges. SAN FRANCISCO PRODUCE MARKET Price Current on Vegetables, Fresh .

Persistent Selling of Wheat Dur ing Day Crop Reports Continue Favorable. CHICAGO, July 8. Effect of the it uation In Germany were apparent In the action of the grain markets here today and values were lower all around. At the finish wheat was down lHc to 2c with July $1.12 to M.1'-'V and Septem ber $1.10?4 to $1.10; corn was off c to 2c; oats showed a net loss og lc to lo and provisions ranged 12 c to 55c lower. At the Inside figures September wheat was 2c under ths close of the previous day with rather persistent commission house selling on the way down. Concerns that usually act for seaboard account did some buying and several brokers were figuring on liberal quantities for shipment to the eaat, presumably to fill old sales abroad. Exporters were after wheat in the southwest although no new business was claimed at the gulf. Crop reports from the spring wheat territory continued favorable and country offer: ings of grain to arrive remained light, except in sections where banks have been pressing producers to pay up notes. Corn and oat were under pressure in sympathy with wheat. Weather con dltion9 generally were favorable for corn and the bulk of the private reports were optimistic, esnecinllv frnm th. section that received rain of late. Provisions were easier with some scat tered liquidation in evidence in July lard. What support there was came mostly from local shorts. ' The Chicago grain letter received yes terday by the Overbeck & Cooke com pany of Portland follows: Wheat It was a weak market from start to finish with occasional small ral lies on short-covering, which served only to weaken its position. The disturbing foreign political news had much to do with making sentiment so intensely bearish, especially in view of the re ported cancellations by Germany of con tracts for wheat for July, August and September shipment The exiport situa tion otherwise showed absolutely no im provement, in fact these was not even inquiry for cash wheat in any market to fill old sales such as was conspicuous here the past few days and in Winnipeg for the past week or more. The demand in. the latter market was poor and premiums lower. The belief is gaining ground that export trade will not revive by the time the movement of new wheat gets under way, which would leave offer ings dependent upon an Inadequate do mestic milling demand. The few scat tered reports of black rust that have come in have not been taken seriously. As weather conditions have been against its extension and the forecast for next week is for continued favorable weather for the growing crop, the incentive to promote aggressive bullish tactics is lack ing et the moment. Corn Held relatively .firm during the first half hour but after that gave way to the pressure of liquidating sales in fluenced by weakness in wheat and no doubt in fear that foreign financial dis ruptions might check the export demand, which has been the mainstay of the mar ket for the past few weeks. The cash demand was not so keen as it has been recently and spot prices fully reflected the decline In futures. For the time being or until the present feeling of un easiness is dissipated by more encourag ing developments the trend of the mar ket will probably be downward. Oats Liquidation was on in this mar ket as In other grains and prices receded quite rapidly in the absence of support. Cash prices were lower with the futures, but the trading basis was firm. Crop re ports are showing some improvement since the recent rains and cooler weather. Rye Trade qrffet and the market rather weak, reflecting the declines in other grains. The most conspicuous sell ing again was 1n the form of hedging against old and new crop rye. The mar ket was inactive with no offerings. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High; Low.
