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.' ..

"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."
