"' 1 i Charter rates are steadily Increasing, and before the season is ended the in dication are that the.y will be " back to a pretty respectable figure. Yesterday the British bark East Afri can turned down an offer of, 20s 6d to carry a grain cargo to the United King dom. The day before the owner' of the Olenesslin refused am offer of 20 for the same kind of business. Good offers are being declined almost every day, and it Is believed that all thr spot ships will be engaged before many days elapse. v..Theonly vessel in the river not -chartered are the Ohnesslln, East African and Red Rock. Those engaged a.tthe Cnristel, preparing to load, and the Europe, which will complete Aer grain cargo thi a1 week., From the-appearance of things Portland will soon be 'short of available tonnage.: Two more vessels are about due here, however,, from Sun Franciscd. They are -the British ships Andorlnha and the Ancalols. ' . One reason for the Improvement of the cate Is believed to be partly attributa ble, to- tmv fact that roany-tof the big windjammers are leaving San Fraaclsco I . ' ' In ballast. The owners were dissatis fied with the freight situation and sent them to other quarters of the globe In search of better business inducements. A letter received by a. local shipper last evening. from Captain Jones of the British ship Bidston Hill, now at ihe Bay City, stated that "the vessels are thinning out, of there .very rapidly. "None of them are going to lay up much longer," he sald. "They are going away every day In ballaat." . , The Bidston Hill' is under charter to load lumber on Puget sound, and 'Will sail north in a few days.

San (Special News Service.) j Francisco, , Dec. 17. The high rents problem has not been solved as the wage-earning 'classes of this city had hoped that it would be. The im pression ,had prevailed among business men that tha large .number of apart ment houses - and flats- recently con structed,' and In course of construction, would cab He a slump, in the house-to-rent market ' and bring landlords to a realization that the city Is being over built. The extraordinary building boom frightened the timid property holder. The big banking concerns however,' and" large investor In r?l estste kep't.Kteadi ily on the purchase ; and building per mit were Issued by scores. ' ; - Sure enough, the- immense number of new houses placetl on sale and for rent did shake the prices a deal. Old prem-. Ises were deserted for new and owners found that . they j, could renovate, old buildings, put In modern plumbing and rearrange rooms apd get ,a fair rent considerably .lower than that" charged for up-to-)date structure., -.-The ex pensive ' Houses' were placarded ylth "to let" signs and the man of small In come saw-that he was In a fair way to secure a home at ' a reasonable figure. But he is doomed to disappointment. - v Building Will Be Oat. The building of new flats and apart ment houses will be cut down the com ing sprlng-nd-a4teady there has been a noticeable falling off of construction of dwellings. , The office building seems to Interest speculators the most now. ' The result has been "that gradually ; the dwelling houses have filled up and there Is a small margin, of unrented prem ises on hand. Up went' the rents and they have come to it standstill, refusing to fall In spite at the wise one of the exchanges. . , -. . . ' It Is safe to say that before another year' Is - passed the builder' of small homes must again go into the market and provide for the rapidly swelling western population. " The truth In the matter is that the days of low rents In San Franclsoo have passed, as they have In: all of our great, healthy west, and tire Eastern plan of providing cheap, respectable and comfortable quarters for the struggling middle-classes must be solved here as well as It bus been in the big cities of the Atlantic coast. Idle Tonnage In Port. British and American ships are hav ing a hard time securing freights for foreign shipments, There is much Mia tonnage here and - at other coast 'ports and one reason that is assigned for the. big fleet Is that France' is rapidly be coming a factor. In the world of com merce. .' French ships and steamers are m6re and more prominent as bidders for cargoes each year. The French 'ship subsidy law permits them to take car goes at' rates that would be ruinous to American or British-vessels,. English ships in particular suffer, as American vessel are nearly all engaged iu, domes tic carrying. English shipowners have of late years learned to be content with two per cent per annum, but tecently even this slight margin of profit1 has been wiped out. ., :, , ' PLANS FOR NEW ... HOME.

Wiethe to build one or two stories of stone and r the remaining stories ,r of brick - and whether to have the second and third floors offices, or offices on tho second floor only, with lodge and "club room occupying the two upper floors, are the points to be considered and discussed.
