UNTIL FALL
Shipping Will Continue Dull tin
til Beginning of New
Wheat .Year. " :
WHY SHIPPING IS SO QUIET
.Grata Crop i it Short and Unga
v Quantity Has Been Sent
Quite ICeeently to
San Francisco.
One of the test posted wheat ship
pers of Portland, who was in the city
a few days ago, expressed the opinion
while here 'that there would be little
Improvement in shipping conditions
, until August t r the beginning of the
new grain year. , He added that con
ditions likely to exist after August 1
were problematical, and that shipping
business would depend entirety upon
crop conditions. , ,.,
The past six months have been very
ulet in shipping circles. Few vessels
have come to the Columbia for car
goes, or. for that batter, to any of the
coast ports. ' The decrease in engaged
tonnage is due entirely to the short
wheat crop in the northwest, to the
fact that much of the wheat has been
converted into flour and shipped out
either by rail or on the large trans
Pacific liners, and to the further fact
, that no inconsiderable portion of the
northwestern wheat output has gone to
San Francisco, where the disengaged
tonnage recently exceeded 100,000, and
-where there has been little improve
ment during the past 30 days, al
though an occasional vessel is char
tered or sent to some other coast port.
While figures are not available, It is.
estimated that between 40,000 and 50.
Mt tons of wheat and barley have been
sent from Portland to San Francisco
since September 1. Several coasters
have been almost regularly engaged in
carrying grain south, with the result
that there has been little to ship from
the northwest. While it is' possible
this estimate is high, the fact remains
that the grain sent below would have
. required the presence here of no small
fleet of foreign carriers.
The Oregonian is out with an op
timistic statement to the effect that
II vessels are en route here with 45,000
tons of cargo. However, the Portland
paper is. stretching matters for the
purpose of making a showing. The 16
vessels have been engaged ' to bring
' cargoes here, but it will be a long time
before they show up off the Heads. In
deed, many of them will not be here
.before the fall, and there is nothing
in the present outlook that could be
construed as hopeful. The informa
tion contained in the Oregonian's ar
ticle is, however, interesting, and is
herewith reproduced:
"The list of cargo ships bound' for
this Dort is constantly growing. Sis-
teen vessels are now on the board en
route to Portland with general freight
from European exporting centers, and
their cargoes aggregate nearly 45,000
tons. The latest addition to the fleet
is the British ship Hampton, 1579 tons.
Captain Macdonald, which will load at
Antwerp for this city in the Grace line
f ships, represented here by Taylor,
Young & Co. In addition to the Hamp
ton seven other vessels are loading, or
have loaded, at Antwerp for this port,
and some of those now on the way are
about due here. The other vessels in
the Antwerp fleet are' the Thistlebank,
Armen, Beacon Rock, Clan Mackenzie,
Emilie, Invermay and Laennec.
"Three cargo vessels are coming
here from Hamburg, the Carnarvon
Bay, Holt Hill and Marechal de
Noallles, The Francesco Guiseppe and
the Nomia are en route from New
castle, England; the La Bruyere and
Rajore from Shields, and El Frieda
from Rotterdam. Of the above list the
Francesco Guiseppe, Thistiebank an3
La Bruyere will stop first at Port Los
Angeles and discharge part of their
car roes there.
"Four of the cargo vessels are near
ly due here and will probably show up
early in the coming month. Those
thought to be nearest at hand are the
Armen, Emllle, Invermay and La
Bruyere. "
"Besides this fleet," only two other
sailing vessels are on the en route list.
and both will come from San Fran
cisco. They are the Magdalene and
Vercingetorix. Both these vessels are
under charter to load wheat here for
Europe. The Magdalene is now on the
way north andthe other vessel will
sail in a few days.' " m
