Tho ea,eal year Of 10000, brought to
- and July /, was remarkable for the
shr;nkaQe OF the shipping business OF
The North Pacific ports. This falling
off in exports wac occasioned by the oe-
o,sose in the wheat yield OF Oregon

with the few preceding years. Inc
three states produced last year $685.
go bushels Of wheat against Al ,o's, 400
bushels in 1902 and 463, "a ,2ss bushels
in 1901.
Shipments from Portland in the past
70 months. including -four az wheat
were s,4O0, 1856 bushels, compared WIN
IA 0o9 ,282 bushels in the preceding
vaar and l6 .57429,5 bushels two years
400 Puget sound shipments show the
anne ratio OF decrease, having been :
888 148 bushels as against 18,073,8lo
busbels in 1902, and is, 1926, 007 bush
els in 1901.
A portion larger than usual OF the
wheat in the past season went in'o
-four. due in large measure to the
heavy requirements Of the Orient just
before the war between Japan and kus'
ala broke out. Another feature OF the
season was the demand from Eastern
markets for Northwestern wheat
sbinments from this coast to Chicago
and st. Louis were made possible for
short time by the speculative excite
ment in the Middle West caused by the
Armour corner and 1,4S3,957 bushels
of Northwestern wheat found their way
across the Rockies against only 300, Oo'
bushels SO shipped the year before
With the short supply in this section
there was a still greater shortage, com
paratively speaking, in California
which necessitated the movement OF
large quantity of wheat southwark, an'
, thus reduced the amount available TO
over sea shipment. Furthermore tn
demand from the Antipodes, that wa
SO prominent in 1902-03, was lacking
Consequently the cargoes that were sen
abb DAD from Northwest ports in tn
year just closed were much less Il
number than in the preceding year.
There is hardly question but ths
: the Pacific Northwest will this fall har
: vest the greatest wheat crop in its his
tory. Fifty million bushels is believe
by leading men in the grain trade t
e be conservative estimate. Tn
drouth, if long continued, will affet
g the yield, but ten days more of lack {
r rain will not endanger the crop. Ate
that continuance of dry weather wi
become more serious. 1t is concede
that the output Of the valley will
light and spring grain is suffering frol
n lack Of moisture in some sections eal
Of the mountains, but the great bulk

Peace Could Easily Be Made.

Berlin, July 6.-The question OF in
termediation between Russia and Japan
in behalf OF peace continues to be dis
cussed in diplomatic circles here. The
Tageblatt quotes the utterances of an
unnamed diplomat as having close re-
iations with Japan, as saying that Japan
is disposed to accept the mediation of
some friendly power, and would pro-
pose peace conditions that Russia would
accept. Conditions could be framed
easily, since Japan does not seek terri
torial acquisitions in Manchura.

WILL NOT TO -ERA1H MEDIATION.
Russia VIII Consider Peace Only When
Japan Proposes 1t.

st. Petersburg, July 6.-Dispatches
from Washington saying that inquiries
made by the government as to the pos
sibility Of mediation show that neither
Russia nor Japan is in humor to en-
terrain overtures, but that the state de-
partment is ready to offer its services
in the interests of mediation whenever
they may be acceptable, are attracting
considerable attention in government
and diplomatic ciicles. The optimistic
opinions attributed to official circles at
Washington regarding the early OPEN
ing of friendly Offices are not shared in
Russia.
On the contrary, wherever inquiries
have been made the opinion has been
unanimous that there is nothing in the
present situation. so far as Russia is
concerned, ON which to base an early
termination Of the war, and that the
question of peace will be considered
only when direct proposals have been
made by Japan.
Russia has announced her determi-
nation not to tolerate mediation, and
this determination seems to be rather
strengthened than shaken by the re-
verses to her arms.
