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

MIGHT INJURE MILLS.
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

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.

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.
