There was something: doing yesterday. Late in the afternoon three ship were en gaged to take out cargoee, and all at re markably low rates. If what the public has been led to believe during the past few weeks, kt trae, every vessel which was engaged yesterday win make a losing trip. The British bark Matterhorn, 184 tons. was chartered by Kerr, Gilford A Co. to load wheat for Sydney, Australia, at 15 shillings. The British ship AHerton. 1938 tons, was taken by Balfour, Guthrie A Co. to load for the same port at the same figure. This ts the lowest rate ever paid a shipowner to take grain from Portland.

The only ships now left on the disen gaged lis here are the Euphrasnye, Riverside and Fullwood. The owners have been contending all along that 25 shillings la the lowest rate that could possibly be accepted In order to make a small profit. If they were correct in their figuring their loaaea which will ac crue In making the trip at the acoepted rates, will fun up to several thousand dollars. The French bark Lamarlslere was also engaged yesterday to load wheat and flour on Puget Sound for South Af rica at it shillings. ' There was also some activity In the lumber market.

" Mr. J. C. Lang, c well-known member of the firm of Lang & Co., wholesale grocer, wTir rename to Seattle in tire near future as president of the largest Jobbing house on Puget Sound. Mr. lang recently organised the Na tional Grocery Company, In which Seat tle capital Is largely Interested, and while the new concern was Incorporated under the laws of Oregon, Its business will be done almost entirely In the State of Washington. Tt Is stated by Mr. Lang that the new company will immediately absorb two of the very large Jobbing houses in Seat tle, and may later still further enlarge its sphere of activity. While the conduct of this business will necessitate Mr. Lang's continual pres erve -fn 8tth. he wilt . aim - retain his Interest In the firm of Lang tc Co. here. The -authoritative statement of fltfr. Lane's personal plans and those of the company which he has promoted, has laid to rest many Idle rumors as to the Intentions of the National Grocery Com pany, which had some circulation on the street. In view of many employes of Mr. Lang going to Seattle, a banquet has been arranged for tonight at the Portland. Howard Al'en, Jr., assistant manager; 13. Hoskins, treasurer, and other princi pal employes of the new company, Vill be guests at the function, and an e!abo rate menu has beeh prepared, the dis cussion of which will begin at 7:30 o'clock tonight.

Nov. 22 The report of the Rock Island Railroad officials oh the Dav enport train robbery of yesterday says that there were but five robbers and that the sum they secured from the company did not amount to mora than 150. In ad dition to this thay earrled off the contents of a small express safe. While the srn gained in this way Is not made known it is believed to have been small. BU)ODh6"cND9 OLT. DAVENPORT, Nov. 22. The robbers stole a team early this morning and escaped Into Illinois. Bloodhounds are following their trail. Expr offleers say the ex" contslnwV 13.00 Yesterdaj Ereninj Rhrer Traffic Temporarily Blocked. Several steamboats were delayed tor. about an hour last evening e.t about 6 o'clock. Just above the Morrison street bridge, because the draw of that struc ture got out of, working order. When the signal waa given to open it was found that the machinery would nit work, and Investigation showed that on of the ponderous cogwheels had been broken. The boats waited Impatiently until tem porary repairs were made so that sec tions of the bridge could again be re volved. During the Interval the steamer P.uth came ploughing down the river under full steam, blowing her whistle ard seemed surprised when the watchman iid not respond to her call. Before slacking her speed she got dangerous'y near to the great wooden barricade and had she not stopped In time her upper decorations and fixtures would have gone floating down the stream In the form of wreckage. It Is very seldom that the draws to tha bridges got in such shape that they will not work. Tha machinery is given close inspection and careful attention each day. The motive power used Is electricity, and It occasionally happens that pome trou ble Is experienced with the wire over which the current Is conducted, but not often. Tha happened during the big fire on the East Side a few montt s ago. It waa a wild, exciting night on the water front, and boats were breaking away from their moorings and fleeing to places of safety up and down the river. At th0 Madison street bridge the eltctrlc car rent had been shut off, and the draw could not be opened. Several steamers wanted to go up above, where they would be out of harm's way, but the passage was completely blocked. Finally the Al bany solved the problem. She steamed up close to the bridge and a rope was thrown over one end of the diaw. With, the other end securely fastened to the lower deck the steamer backed down the river and the huge sections swung 'on their pivot until a sufflciont opening had been made for the b(Ut to pass through and on to places thty wished to so.
