From liow on all sailing vhuIi and

j be permitted to load' ts a deeper draft
; than heretofore, the privilege being
" ; granted at a recent conference of the
'underwrite and Lloyd's eurveyore,
v Information of the new regulation
- reached a number of , the local ablppera
y tola morning. -'
Billing vessels of 1,000 tone net reg
' ,. ; later may be weighted down, to an addl
. I ttonal depth of three Inches. It la satt-
i mated that they, wll be capable of hand,
ling from 0 to 75 more tona than they
", previously carried. Of courae ateamera
' ? of 6,000 tpna capacity will be allowed to
:' take out much -more freight. Surveys
i have ehown that- It uaually requlrea
' K about tOtons of frelghtto lower a
'" y J.OOO-ton veseel one Inch.' Under the
new rule the Britlah steamship Dunerlo
'waa permitted to take-on 110 tona more
freight than she had been accustomed
r to carry.
. On an average no Leaa than SO Britlah
' ahlpa, including ateamera, load at Port-
lane teethe- -eourseo a year. Aa ma
" of them are ateamshtps. - tbe-fleet will
" have an increased carrying capacity or
t about 4,000 tona, equivalent to an
, T amount uaually handled by two ordinary
. t aiaed sailing veeaela. Hence the new
-i regulation will mean that if SO British
, craft load at Portland thla aeaaon their
assresaie catioci wtii tmuuni iw mm
"-mnett-freight aa was previously handled
. by SI vessels.
. It is alao pointed out by the x-
porters that the inoreaaed depth- will be
- ao alight that none of them will experi-
--j-ence any difficulty in getting out of the
river with full cargoea. i The probablll
"4;tiea are said to be atrong that all other
--' maritime countries will adopt the earns
; rule.- Should they do ao the reault will
be that fewer ahlpa will be required to
' take cars of the commerce of tbe world.
-Urttl -recently ;ths underwriters" would
.' not consent to give thla matter favor
' able, consideration. They have Anally
- been -convinced that but few of t lie
5 wrecks or mishaps to the ahlpa have
.been due to overloading them.
CHARITY BRINGS TRADE.
' Japeaeae Importers place Heavy Orders
. ' fo Tloar With Local Xoasee.
Aa a reault of the liberal donations
' aent to famine autTerera from the United
States, Japaneee importere are once
; . more placing orders with the "' local
' bouses for heavy, shipments of flour.
. Hpafe for the shipment of 6,000 barrels
lojapanhae been reaerved . on
' oriental .liner' Aragonla, due to-reach
Portland' the middle of the month. Be-
'"fore her arrival It la thought that near
It all of her apace will have been an-
gaged. '
Kx porters and. steamship authorltiea
'estimate "that no leaa than $1,000,000
haa been forwarded from the . United
Statea to the famine dlatrtcte In Japan
In the paat few months.? Of thia amount
the New Tork Christian Advocate, for
merly belonging to Rev.- T. DeWitt Tal
'.madge, aent f 100.000. Thla la the larg
' eat alngle donation aa yet reported.
. From other aourcea all over the United
- States money haa - been- pouring Into
; Japan In a ateady stream. Six thousand
" dollara was- forwarded from Portland
'.'and about an 'equal amount from tbe
Puget aound country. Large auma have
alao been sent the- autTerera from other
countries, but tbe people of the United
Statea are said to have reaponded to
" the appeala for help far more generous
ly than all of the others combined.
4 - The money haa been , carefully dls-
tributed, and no aooner did it fall Into
V worthy hands than the local exportera
i-tha
trlcken districts. It , Is probable
; that moat of the fund will Boon be sent
back to America In exchange for food-
stiffs, 3Vith ,JhereYlvalof.. extensive
business with Japan the regular fleet
. plying from Portland will secure more
c trafflc than they can possibly handle.
. Consequently there will undoubtedly
i soon be an opening for tramp ateamera
here.
