Rolller says he heard that she reached

entering the harbor ran Into a rock and
was ' damaged. He did not learn the
extent of her Injuries. The Asle sailed
on October 15 for Portland. It Is sup
posed that' aba was put. In good repair
soon. i. .
cers of tbe Kurope say that nothing out
of the ordinary occurred. The ship Is
under charter to carry grain to the
United Kingdom and this time It Is the
Intention to supply her with a full load,
so that she will be able to ride the
waves without flopping over. She was

Three of the tramp steamers under
charter to load grain and flour at Port
land for the far east this month will
nt arrive In time to get away before
December If they do not sail soon from
the ports at which they are now lying.
The British steamship Croydon taken
by the Portland eV Asiatic company, la
still at Ban Francisco, although she ar
rived there more than two weeks ago
from Ocean Island. When she wss char
tered it was with th understanding
that ahe would arrive In October. Nc
one appears to know the reason for bef
long detention. -1 . ' . ' .
At the last accounts the steamship
Den of Cromble, which was chartered
for Portland loading a month ago, had
not left the orient, and the Labuan was
at Mojl. It was supposed that both of
them would be here in time to be fitted
out with cargoes-and sail this month. , ,
Business with the orient has fallen
oft during the past month and ' It Is
thought that no additional charters will
be effected to transport foodstuffs to
the esst for some time to come, with the
exception of an occasional tramp which
will be dispatched by Mitsui Co. The
Cape Antlbes. recently taken by the
Portland Asiatic company. Is the laat
vessel engaged It Is believed that sev

tered, however, to carry wheat and flour
