FREIGHT RATES SHOW BIG DROP Portland Exporting Firm Charters Windjammer for Old Crop. SHIP BEETAGNE GETS BUSINESS Enough Ortto to Country tp War rant Engagement of Vessels AI though Enormons Quantities Hare Been Set Afloat During Season. Although normous quantities of wheat have been aet afloat this season for Europe and the orient, there is stUI enourn in,siht to create" a demand for salllnr vessels for spot loading. Bates are low and exporters with grain on hand to fill a cargo, consider them selves fortunate In view of , the low freights. v'""-' ; , The Northwestern Warehouse com. paay this morning chartered -the French ship' BretagM ior Immediate - loading at this port for Europe at tl shilling This is by far the lowest re te men tioned thU season, and it Is believed to ; indicate that bottom has been reached for the present. Anether new crop charter was rumored, but it is said that it was closed at 37s 6d, union rate. The Bretsgne Is at San Francisco and will start for the Columbia river in bal last without delay. She Is of 1.950 tons net register and hence wili carry about 1,000 tons. The transaction came some what as a surprise this morning, be cause it was believed that about all the tonnage required to move the old crop had already been bargained for. Portland shipped 1.576,807 bushels of wheat and 76,224 barrels of flour dur ing the month of March. During the same period the combined Puget sound rorts shipped 926,798 bushels wheat and 42,618 barrels flour. Thirteen sailing vessels cleared from this port for Europe with full wheat cargoes, the aggregate quantity being 1,205,450 bushels. The orient drew 216,687 bushels and California took 164, 820. From Puget sound the shipments were 793,606 bushels to Europe, 99,465 bushels to California and 83,888 bushels to the orient. In this connection it Is Interesting to note that the Portland shipments were more than 1,000,000 heavier than during the corresponding reriod of 1907, when the total was 88 629 Of flour, Portland shipped S1.R08 bar rels to the orient and 84,716 to Califor nia. This Is about 100,000 less than the quantity shipped in March of last year, when the orient alone drew 190,208 bar- r8tatistlcs compiled by the Merchants' Exchange show that the March flour shipments from Puget sound were 207, 867 barrels to the orient. 17,858 barrels to South America and lf.89S barrels to California. i- Since the first of July rths beginning of the cereal year 1 907-08 there has been shipped 87.608,585 bushels wheat, tnoiuding flour reduced to wheat, from Portland and the Puget sound district. This quantity exceeds by far any fig1 urea covering' the corresponding period of former seasons, 1905-06 coming near at with 81447,424 bushels.. . - v - The total value of exports from this port for. the month is - 81,868,226,. of which lMHt?r la;for heat, 3206,033 for flour, 347,279 for lumber, and 810, 947 for miscellaneous goods.

New and Low Rate Is Quoted on Wheat to" Orient. The new rate quoted on wheat from Pacific coast ports to the orient is ex pected' to work a hardship on millers here and on the sound. In that the ori entals will be able to get the raw ma terial for their plants at such a low rste ss to make comoetitlon with the American mills an -easy matter. The new rates were, announced last night, and ttey are expected to create a heavy movement In wheat, since ship pers ire well aware M? the fact that these freights wUl not remain perma- nTuITate' on flour ' and wheat have been cut from 38.60 and 35 a ton to 32.60 and 24. The cut affects all the steamers operating for the regular lines and will go into effect immediately. Formerly the rate on flour was 33.50 to Japanese ports, 34 to Hongkong and 35 to Shanghai. Wheat was on the same basis. The new schedule provides for wheat to Japan and Hongkon for 32.60. flour to Japanese ports 33, flour 1 to Hongkong 33.60, and both wheat and flour to Shanghai 34, The purpose of the cut in to drive out tramp steamers that have been Invading the field. SEA COVERED WITH OIL. Captain Worsoe Reports Strange En counter Off California Coast. Captain Worsoe of the Norwegian steamer Elsa reports that when pro ceeding up the coast he ran into a lot of oil that either had been cast upon the water by some vessel to quiet the seas or else had been jettisoned by an oil-carrying craft The oil was encountered at a point 15 miles off shore about midway be tween San Pedro and San Francisco. The thick coating extended as far as the eye could reach for more than an hour, which made it doubtful if it had been used to calm breakers. Nor was it stormy at the time. The scum stuck to the sides of the steamer so that she was covered with it when she reached the drydock for cleaning and painting. This job was completed yesterday afternoon, and in a day or two the big freighter will be in the harbor to begin loading lumber for Fremantle, Australia. The Elsa was here a few months ago and took a cargo of lumber to Japan. On her way out she encountered very severe weather, but escaped serious damage. REPORT ROyGH VOYAGE. Steamer Elder and Senator Arrive : , From California Port. V Tha stesmers Senator ana" George Vf. Elder reached the harbor last night from California ports after some exciting exj periences with strong head winds and mountam-high seas. The former came from San Francisco direct, and the lat ter from San Pedro, via San Francisco and Eureka. , . , . In coming in over the Columbia river bar yesterday the Elder shipped a'jea that stove out some windows ort the port side of the after house. Those on board had been warned against remain ing outside while crossing the rough stretch of water, and as all obeyed, no one was Injured by the rush of water. The Senator, too, shipped some heavy seas while off the coast. In fact. Cap tain Nopander says the veyage was one of the roughest experienced for some tllBoth craft brought full passenger lists, and the Senator is said to have left 86 steerage passengers behind, owing to lack of space. North-bound traffic Is always heavier in the spring, while in the fall south-bound traffic is heavier. LAUNCHED AND READY. Steamer Chas. R. Spencer - Leaves Yard Under Own Power. Instead of returning to the shipyard to receive congratulations from his friends. Captain Bpencer yesterday aft ernoon orderedpower turned on as the steamer Chas. R. Spencer left the ways of the Portland Shipbuilding company and hardly clear of the cradle, she swung about in . midstream bound for the lower harbor The DO-feet slide was successful in every respect and occurred at 8 . o'clock sharp, as scheduled. Several of those who had come to see the launching re mained on shore, and it was with sur prise they saw the big .wheel begin to turn almost before it hit the water. Three blasts from the whistle announced that there was steam in the belters, and a few moments ; later the craft was speeding through r the .Madison bridge draw towavds the lower harbor.
