ROT THE DULLEST II SHIPPING SEASON vxnra csBBAZi seasojt of mm-?, ,8AYfl T rETEBSOB, - BOT A BVSBXX, OF OBAXB WAS SBXTTED - nOK POBT&ABD BETWEEV TXM- BUABT ABB JTOXT. Local grain exporters generally con cede this to be the poorest shipping sea son known here since Portland became prominent as an export center. How ever, Leo Peterson, editor of the Com mercial Review, thinks differently. In an interview last evening he said: ' ", . This Is not the worst on record by - any means. The wheat shipping season of 1896-7 came to an end on February 17. After that date there . was not a pound of grain shipped from Portland until July 23 of the same year. "The situation then was different from that of the" presentseason.Thefar th ere had practically sold all their grain, and there was none left In the country. Out of the 32,000,000 bushels raised last year there etlll remain 7.500,000 bushels to be sold. ,f The most of this big surplus Js in very strong 1 hands owned by farmers who have plenty of money and who are willing to pay warehouse ex penses. Insurance rates, taxes, etc. : "More than one half the crop remains unsold In Walla Walla county, and fully 600,000 bushels In Umatilla county. The largest amount of wheat still In the hands of the farmers Is in the Nes Perce country, Idaho, amounting fully to I,250,b00 bushels. - "Holders are Imbued with ' the Idea that prices In Chicago will eventually be met here. In this they are mistaken, unless foreign markets respond more rreely. than they have' recently done. Our markets are based on the valuation of London cargo markets for the actual wheat, and not fictitious values from Knstern grain centers. At the present 1 time wheat for export . Is not worth more than 71 cents a bushel to a shipper If. he expects to come out even, basing freights at 20s, the price paid of late for several charters. "The flour business Is almost over for the season, and a war between Bus sla and Japan would hardly 'help our millers. The Immense shipments for the past seven months were not the re sult of trouble which seemed to be brew ing there. The steamship rate war was the principal factor. - Three-dollar-a-ton rates from coast points have advanced to $4 and there Is - no doubt that by March 1 the old rate of $6 will again prevail. During the past seven months almost' 2,000.000 barrels of flour have gone to the Orient, and fully one third of it is still on the market over there unsold. Buyers in . China are doing hardly anything at this particular tune on account of the approaching Chinese New Tear's season. There will be no trading of any consequence until the fes tivities are ended, t "During the season of 1802-J the North Pacific coast ports shipped 2,907, 872 barrels of flour, and if the exports should keep" pace with those of last year, from now on until July there will have' to be exported 160,000 barrels of flour. The market is very dull, and the outlook is not favorable for flour ship ments during the balance of the cereal year. : "Either the farmers will have to come to the shippers' views and. sell their wheat, or hold It over until next sea son.' .. UGOOBTT ABBfTBS. The steam schooner Francis H. Leg gett reached port Monday night from San Francisco, In place of the Nome City, which will be given' a thorough overhauling. The Leggett moored at the Hour mills, where she will load for the return trip. CXBABS WITH OBAXB. Kerr, Gifford & Co. of this city have cleared the British ship La Morna at Tacoma for the United Kingdom. The vessel has On board 67.630 centals of barley, valued at 168.680, and 46,369 bushels of wheat, worth $34,777.

"This coming season is, in my opinion, going to excel all former ones In the amount of tourist business over our line," said Assistant Oeneral Passenger Agent Charlton of the Northern PaciOc this morning. "There are many reasons for this. In the first place, all the big excursion companies are going to feature the Yel lowstone Park trip and the coast visit in connection with their St. Louis tour. and many people will make this trip who would not come to the United States at all were it not for the St. Louis fair. Then in September there Is the Knights Templar conclave in San Francisco. This Is the biggest thing In the way of a convention in this country, for the Templars-come In bodies, not as a few delegates, and the travel Is going to be Immense. We have already secured large parties of the Templars and will bring them via the Yellowstone and to Portland. With the regular eastern travel coming to the coast, a business that baa been Increasing each year at a rapid rate, and the added -numbers of travelers that will come because of the fee Louis fair excursions and the Tem plars' conclave, we expect to do the largest business In the history of the road for tourist travel. "What Portland needs, and everyone will see this before the year Is ended. Is hotels. You will see canvas tents holding people by the thousands' before the fair Is over next year, and the large travel to the coast this season la going to crowa our accommodations."
