BRITISH SQUADRON SAILS
PRINCE LOUIS AND HIS JACkIES
LEFT NEW YORK CITY
TODAY.
Officers and Men Were Equally Over
wheImed by Hospitality Accorded
by the Americans.

NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-THE British
cruiser squadron under the command
of Prince Louis of Battenberg, which
had been the guest of this city since
the morning of November 8, sailed to-
day for Gibraltar, the next station on
its long cruise. The week which the
squadron spent in this city was full
of excitement and social events of
| more or less formality succeeded each
other in rapid succession. Prince
Louis, who is certainly accustomed to
the hardships of seafaring life, was
almost overcome by the demands
which this short season of social
functions made upon him. Banquets,
receptions, official and unofficial calls,
balls and other affairs of a similar ma
ture every day for a whole week is
more than even a we'll seasoned sea-
man and courtier can endure without
serious discomfort. The members of
his staff and the other officers of the
British squadron were equally over
whelmed by the hospitality Of the
Americans, but bore up we'll under the
severe test. The men, alas, had their
share of entertainment but their share
was not quite so exacting.
Everything passed off in the most
satisfactory manner and it is to be
hoped that the British visitors will
take the most pleasant Impressions Of
the comradeship of the officers and
men of the United States navy and of
the hospitality of the citizens of New
York with them on their long cruise
The most cordial entente between the
officers and men of the two fleets ex-
listed and many a lasting friendship
was formed during that short week of
fraterniZing
The manner in which the officers and
men on the American warshlps and
the thousands of people who occupied
every available foot Of space along
the river front, cheered the British
ships, as they slowly steamed down
the North River, amid the booming of
cannon firing the salutes, left no doubt
as to the genuineness Of the friendly
feelings of the hosts for their depart
ing guests.
Led by the flagship Drake, bearing
the admirals ensign, the British
cruiser squadron slowly steamed down
the river, past the imposing line of the
American battIeships and cruisers, ex-
changing salutes with each one anu
doing particular ilonOrs to the Maine,
the flagship Of Admiral Evans. A flag
salute was fired when the squadron
reached Governors Island and the
battery on the island responded with
a national salute. Many hundreds OF
steamers, tugs, launches, yachts and
other craft, nearly all gaily decorated,
were scattered along the river, form
ing an informal escort and frightening
and enlivening the picturesque scene.
Sirens and whistles mingled their
shrill notes with the dull booming of
the guns and the laundering cheers
of the crowds on the shore and on the
various boats.

FULL wheat CARGO
Great Activity Noted in Wheat Car
ryinq on Upper Columbia.

One of the few full cargoes Of
wheat taken from the portage road,
on the upper Columbia river, to Port
land arrived Tuesday on the steamer
Joseph Kellogg. 1t comprised 275o
sacks. or 1873 tons. The Joseph KEEL
logg is under charter to the Regula-
tor line and will be kept in the grain
trade the best part Of the winter. The
other steamers operated by the same
company also are taking wheat to
Portland from points on the upper
river. as is also the Charles r.
Spencer.
For the past week the Mountain
Gem has averaged making one round
trip daily between points near Ar
Iington and the portage road. After
she gets all of the grain moved to
the portage from the nearby points
she will proceed further up stream
It will take her from two to four days
to make the longer hauls. The little
steamer Columbia is engaged also
on the same route. Some of the
steamers from Portland are fitted
out with cargoes at The Dalles.

ALL FOREIGN DEMANDS HAVE
BEEN FULLY SUPPLIED FOR
THE PRESENT.
Several Vessels Have Finished Takinq
Cargoes at Tacoma and Are
Waiting for Crews.

After a period of uninterrupted ac-
tivity extending over more than a
month, the market for wheat has eased
up considerably during the week and
there has not been mucn doing in the
way of new business. Europe has APP
parently satisfied current demands
and the past few days have shown a
lull in the cargo trade that has result
ed in exporters eXerting less energy
in securing wheat and the easing off in
measure caused holders to withdraw
offerings, though there is still enough
wheat to be had to satisfy every re-
quirement, says the West Coast Trade.
The mills have considerable quantities
of wheat On hand and are not much
of a factor in present transactions,
and, while California is still taking
enormous quantities of stock, the bulk
of current shipments is going forward
to cover purchases made some time
since. Exporters estimate that prac-
tically one-nalf of the Pacific north
west crop has already been disposed
of, though much still remains to be
shipped that has passed out Of farm
ers' hands, and warehouses in the in
terror are we'll filled with grain, some
of them awaiting the arrival of cars
in order to get stocks to tidewater.
Receipts at Tacoma are being well
maintained, however, the total for the
week aggregating 562 cars of wheat,
or approximately $4,000 bushels. Sew
eral vessels have completed taking on
cargoes, and are awaiting crews to get
to sea, but there has been but one
actual clearance, aggregating 10000
bushels, the first of the seasons ship
ments from the Sound to South Afri-
ca.
The exceptionally fine weather of
the past few weeks mas been improved
by growers in the wheat belt who had
failed to get their crop under cover
before the rain, and several hundred
thousand bushels, much Of which was
believed to have been irretrievably
lost, have been thresned. realizing to
the grower within about 10c of the
market price.
The weeks developments in the
general situation have served to con-
tinue the weak tone that was feature
at the date of last review. WORLDS
shipments are being maintained at a
high mark, and Russia continues to
contribute liberal quantities, though
previous strength was largely based
upon the superstition that that coun
try was likely to be practically elimin-
ated as an export factor. The slack

The value of dry land before the
LAYING out of the bitches was from
s1.25 to SO an acre. and where 10
bushels of wheat We're raised 80 to
40 bushels can now be grown. SUI
gar beets sweet potatoes and pea
nuts can be successfully grown on
this land also and these crops will be
extensively grown next year.
The surplus water from the Walla

the fields of alfalfa, and from now
until next June the water flood win

A project is on foot to separate the
reclamation bureau from the geOlogi-

partment, is the report that comes
from Washington.
Senator Carter of Montana, who Is
candidate for chairman of the sem

plan, and the officials of the reclama-

change made.
The new plan, if carried out, would
cut out good deal of unnecessary red
tape which is constantly cause of de-
lay in the department.

III this city yesterday
Everywhere We have travelled in the
auto we have found much better roads
than those over which We have travelled

the roads not only rough, but in some
places so narrow that our safe passing
Of teams was almost impossible. The
people of Vermont themselves seem ia
he deceived as to tho true condition of
their roads Several times We nave been
told that the roads farther on were in
good condition and have gone on IN hope,
only to travel over the same old rough
and narrow ways. II We were travelling
IN Western State. where the resources
for road making were limited. we would
not expect good roads. Eut in Vermont
such resources are plentiful. Vermont is
beautiful State. While in it I have seen
