Predictions of an early rate war in offshore shipping have simmered, : down and late reports announce that the Blue Funnel line steamers (British) and the Japanese steam t ships operated by; the Mitsui com pany, have rejoined the conference andwill stand on prevailing' rates. The two companies Wnentioned are in the front rank; with freight car rying companies1! on the Pacific. They withdrew from the conference three months ago and since that time a rate war has been feared. The Blue Funnel line Is a British concern arid operates five of the 15,000 ton class of freighters. Mitsui oper ates a fleet of 60 steamships in the freight business. A conference of the Pacific traffic agents was scheduled for last Thurs day at Portland, but was postponed. Quiet conferences have been underway and the date of the conference meeting: has been indefinitely postponed. A new schedule derates has been es tablished to -meet existing conditions, and rates will probably be adjusted within a short titne. MOVEMENT OF NOItTIIWEST LUMI1KH BY WATER GROWS Since the increase in transcontinental freight rates, effective September 26, Oregon and Washington mills have ship ped 45,434.568 feet of lumber through the Panama canal to Baltimore, Philadel phia, New 'York and Boston. During the past three months this water move ment has equaled approximately the ; -entire PacifkAtlantlc coast shipments for 1913, according to the weekly bul letin of the West Coast Lumbermen's association. . . The water movement Is relatively un important compared with the Immense production of Oregon and Washington ' mills, but is significant In connection with plans for immense lumber storage ; and distribution terminals at New York . and other Atlantic ports. Lack of stor age and distributing facilities on the Atlantic seaboard and loading terminals ' at Pacific ports Is a serious handicap to shipment of lumber by water. - Production of the association mills In Oregon and Washington for the week ending November 13 was 69,368,633 feet . or 'ii per cent below normal. New business for the week totaled 42.694,838 . feet compared with shipments amounting 1 to 65,827,000 feet. Over 29 per cent of the lumber sold during the week was railroad material, which comprised the rreater part, of all business received from east of the Mississippi river. , The unshipped balance of orders on the books of the mills for transcontinen- - tal rail delivery Is 3944 cars; unshipped balance in domestic cargo trade is 109,- .j 460.748, and the unshipped export bal f ence is 25,608,966 feet, according to the association bulletin. - ONE BIG STORM WILL BREAK UP JOAN OF ARC, IS BELIEF Marshfleld. Or., Nov. 20. There is no hope of eavlng the steamer Joan of Arc, deserted by the crew and stranded on ; the beach at Port Orford. Today the vessel has turned around , so that the bow Is pointed toward the l sea. The vessel is starting to break amldshlp on the starboard side, but It Is otherwise Intact. It is in the breakers and the sea Is not heavy. With a little ' rough weather it Is believed the steamer will break in two. Some of the lumber : which was on the deck has washed ashore, but nothing else has come in from the vessel. The tug Storm King is still outside Port Orford, but has had no chance of getting near the vessel. Captain s Michelson, who was master of the ves sel, is still at Port Orford with five of his crew, but has not been able to get aboard and today, about gave up hope. It has been impossible to get through the breakers in a row boat. The captain ; had hoped to save some of the posses sions of the crew; Those who are fa miliar with this particular part of the coasreay the vessel Is now as good as a total loss.

Portland is to have a wool scour ing plant, capable of scouring 1,000,- 000 pounds of wool a month, as part of the equipment of the Western Wool Warehouse, according to an announcement made Saturday by S. F. Wilson, vice president of the warehouse company, which recently incorporated for $2,000,000. The wool scouring plant, which will make more marketable western wool, will be the best west of Boston and the only large public ; one in Portland, Wil son declared. : ' At the same time Wilson announced that Theron Fell,: an authority on wool, had been elected a director and ap pointed vice-presisent in charge of the wool department. Fell left Saturday for the East to order a complete scour ing plant equipment and will confer with Dr. C J. Smith, another director. "By scouring wool in transit, irrespec tive of storage, we shaU. be able to make an actual average' saving of 1 cent a pound on freight rates on a number of grades to the grower," said Wilson. This saving will be rendered possible by utilizing the local rate from the) In terior to Portland on wool 'in the grease, scouring t in Portland and ship ping the scoured product by water. Even by utilizing an all-rail shipment there will be a considerable saving. Contracts have already been let to girdle with trackage the three acres of water-front property acquired by the warehouse company from the American Marine Iron Works, below the S. P. & S. bridge. The property has a modern two level dock, 360 feet in length. Construc tion of the first unit of the warehouse and the scouring mill will begin imme diately afterwards, under , the direction of Lewis L Thompson, architect. It Is proposed to have the First units of the warehouse ready for the spring wool rUp. . The warehouse will be independent It u expected to provide accommodation for la.000,000 pounds of wool. Wool will be accepted without the obligation to consign and the grower will have at all times control of his clip, while it will be the only wool warehouse in the West un der regulations of the United States wool warehouse act and conducted subject to the regulations of the chief of the bu reau of markets, Wilson .declared. Seventeen prominent Portland nd Ore gon bankers and wool men are on the directorate.

FLURRY Three Dollar Reduction in Side Cut by Grays Harbor Firm Re leases Orders Till Surplus Goes Sensational slashing of lumber prices on carload shipments, by the Grays Harbor Lumber company, caused a flurry In the market throughout the Western and Mid dle Western states Friday and SaU urday, and local manufacturers drew a breath of relief , when tele graphic messages from N. J. Blagen at Hoquiam cancelled further offer ings at the reduced quotation Satur day afternoon. . The mill of the Grays Harbor Lum ber company at Hoquiam is operating three eight-hour shifts on orders for railroad cross ties. The mill has a ca pacity of 750,000 feet dally and the side cut from the tie manufacture caused a rapid accumulation of lumber in the company's yards. In order to move a surplus stock, estimated at 100,000,000 feet, N. J. Blagen, head of the Grays Harbor company, ordered reductions av eraging $3 per thousand on carload ship ments, reserving the right to reject any or all orders. ORDERS POUR I3T Immediately following the announce ment of the company's offer orpers be gan pouring in from eastern territory and the stock was rapidly depleted, ac cording to local representatives of the concern. . The bulk of the business ac cepted at the low rate went to Minnesota, North and South Dakota,- Kansas, Ne braska, with a fait portion distributed in territory east of the Mississippi river. According to oftcials of the West Coast Lumbermen's association lumber prices have been reduced approximately 40 per . cent since May 30 and manu facturers who are obliged to purchase logs to supply their mills claim, there is no profit in operating at the present market level. As a result It is esti mated that nearly 50 per cent of the in dustry in Western Oregon and Western Washington has closed 'down and many mills and logging camps in this district have announced their intention of shut ting down December 1.

Lee, director counsel of the national vigilance committee of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World ' will make M6nday and Tuesday, Portland business men will obtain an insight into the na tional vigilance committee and its 26 affiliated better business bureaus that will show the efforts being made nation ally and locally to maintain confidence in advertising. In connection with the Visit four min ute speakers will address the congrega' tions of a number of the churches to day on "The Golden Rule In Business." This is part of a program that will in augurate a drive for the elimination of all fradulent and misleading advertising, that reader confidence in advertising may be maintained. r Lee holds that the golden rule is as necessary in business as in any other branch of endeavor and tn talking on this subject the Portland Ad club hopes to convey to those who hear the Bpeak ers an adequate idea of the principles for which the national vigilance com mittee and the ' better business bureau are- striving. At the pro-cathedral of St Stephens, the Very Rev. R. T. T. Hicks will preach a BDecial sermon on the work of the better business bureau and the national vigilance committee as viewed from the church. In his sermon on "A City, Four Square," he will show that the applica tion of -the golden rule Is as necessary in business as in social and spiritual life, making special reference to the ac tivities of the Portland Ad ciur ana its affiliated branches. The four minute speakers and the churches in which they will appear are : William D. Wheelwright, First Meth odist Episcopal church, evening service. G-eorge L.
