THE MORNING- OBEGONIAN. FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 1903. 15 GREAT BERRY CROP Oreg on Will Break AI! Rec ords the Coming Season. PROSPECTS OF GOOD PRICES Acreage Is Ten to Twenty Per Ceat Larger Than Lt Year First Ore gon Fruit Will Reach Market Jane 1 California. Oatleolc . Oregon -will produce this year the largest strawberry crop la Its history. Information brought from the berry districts Indicate that the acreage will be from 10 to 20 per cent larger than last year. Indications also point to good prices. Latest reports from the yards are that conditions could not be Improved upon. The first Oregon strawberries -will be In market sometime between June 1 and June 10. For the past four yearn. L. S. Coon, of Dllley, has shipped la the first lot. and he Is expected to keep up his record this year. After the berries from the Dllley district come the Roseburg crop, then The Dalles, then Hood River and White Salmon, and finally Mount Tabor ber ries. The local trade, especially for canning purposes, is supplied mostly from Mount Tabor and the territory surrounding Portland. These berries also find their way to Puget Sound mar kets. Last year Hood, IUver shipped out .about JOcaris, and this year wilt do better. The crop from that district Is expected to net fully ?50. O00. The first California strawberries will be on hand here about a month before the Oregon fruit makes its appearance. The crop la that state will likewise be the largest ever produced there. It Is estimated that Florin, a small tawn la the center of a big berry section, will ship from 200.000 to 250,000 crates this, season. Florin Is where most of the California berries eo'A In this market are shipped from. That district supplies territory as far East as Butte and Helena. About GO per cent of the Florin output finds sale In Portland, Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane. STORING EGGS. aiarltct Is Relieved, Bat Does Not Go Higher. The egg market was In better shape yester day. The price Is unchanged, but dealers quota It steady to strong. The Improvement Is due to the fact that eggs have begun to go Into stor age, which reduces the accumulation. No ad vance can be made In the quotation, as any rise would at once put a stop to storing. Ship ments yesterday were small. Wednesday's Ta coma News says of the market there: An unlooked-for change In the local wholesale market was the advance In eggs announced this morning. Eggs have been weak for sev eral days past, selling to retailers at 16c. The quotation this morning Is 17c It Is claimed by the commission men that there has not been a. time when receipts In Tacoma justified the 10c market, but the decline was made to meet prises of Portland and other Oregon shipper, who were invading this market. Then. too. Homo local retailers who buy of farmers direct have been flashing prices to the detriment of their own and the ranchers' profits. Date Stocks Small. Mall advices from London nave the following on dates: Our stork of Persian dates todar does nat ex. ceed 125,500 boxes, against 145.500 boxes last year, ana i,wu boxes In 1S01. We have no low dates in mats or skins as during the last two years wnen stocks were heavier. Our etocjes or boxes consist principally of Salr dates. "Jiu wie inarKci loaay is quoted at Jus od c. and f for prime native and standard brands-. The stocks of Hallowee and Khadrawee dates ao not mum exceed 10,000 boxes together, and lie price is aos to ios c. ana r. ivew York. SUNDAY PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain, Flonr, Feed, Etc. There Is probably less business under way In the wheat market now than at any time since the grain year opened. A few small lots have changed hands, but neither growers nor dealers appear anxious to do business. Farmers look upon offered prices as below actual values, and shippers, with no export Inquiry, decline to pay figures asked. With the lack of demand, blue stem wheat, which In the midst of the season easily brought 10c premium, Is now approach ing the actual difference In value, and Is quot able only about 5c above club.

CLEVELAND, March 26. The Iron Trade Review says: Conditions persist in the Iron trade under which the sale and delivery of material from the finishing mills of the country Is notably re stricted by an Insufficient supply of steel. If the capacity of converters and open-hearth fur naces could be actually employed, the firmness Jn many finished lines would be only a matter of weeks. There Is undoubtedly an Improvement In coke deliveries, and the next two or three months are expected to show steady improvement in that direction. The new West Virginia ovens of the Steel Corporation are starting up, and Western shipments promise improvements, but against these expectations the shadow of trou ble with West Virginia miners rises and makes all calculations uncertain. Furnace companies which ordinarily would be arranging for their ore supply at this time are waiting, partly be cause of the higher prices for Lake Superior ores, partly because the ores they bought, last year will last them for several months, In view of their frequent bankings, and not least be cause of the possibility of trouble both with furnace and coke labor. The whole labor situa tion Indeed, Is the chief factor of uncertainty In the outlook for iron and steel. Mill tonnage Is plentiful. The most signifi cant item of the week In this regard is the In quiry for finished steel received from the lead ing agricultural Interests of the country. Work Is still being done on the plan to combine the Independent sheet and tlnplate mills. Foreign steel has been distinctly higher in the past two weeks, and the domestic steel market Is strong, with practically nothing offered. Ger man basic bessemer billets at $28.50 at New York as minimum for large lots, while deliv eries cannot be had for two or three months. A further rise of $1 In German steel would add $2.24 to the duty and shut off Imports. At Pittsburg bessemer billets- have been quoted at $32, and sheet bars at $33 to $33.50. A Chi cago sale of open-hearth billets Is reported at $33. Wire rods are $36.50337. Pittsburg, and a gas belt sale is reported at $40. The pig iron situation is stm undeveloped. Mining; Stocks.

There was not suffi cient power la operations la stocks today to overcome he Inertia, of the market, and the mass of securities was sluggish and semi-stagnant all day. There was quite an active specu lation, however, in one or-two stocks. This morning there was a continuance of the liquida tion In Amalgamated Copper' on the part of a large following of the speculative pool In the stock which bad lifted the price to 75 Vic The elllag this mcmlng carried It to 66J4c when support developed based upon the violent re bound la the price for copper in London. The stock was a sustaining factor la the market during the latter part of the day, and rose at one time to 64. a point over last night. The persistent liquidation la Pennsylvania was tho feature of the day. There were active dealings on the curb In the subscription rights to the new stock on a declining scale, the first transaction being at the highest price of the day. The opportunity to purchase these rights at a decline seemed to be taken ad vantage of by present holders of the stock to sell against the rights. The price of the stock receded to 139&, and closed only a shade bet ter. The fall of the stock below 140, which Is the price at which the 3Vi per cent bonds are convertible Into the stock, resulted in & reces sion la the prices of the bonds to below par. These two movements absorbed by far the largest share of attention, in the stock market. There was some degree of strength In New York Central, due to the denials of the rumors of a transfer of Its control to Pennsylvania Interests. Support was accorded some of the Gould stocks, Missouri Pacific and Wabash preferred gaining a point at one time. There was an attempt to find an explanation for the rise of 1 la Southern Pacific All the day's gains were yielded before the close, The tone at the close was asy. None of the day's developments served to re lieve the conviction that the market must face a weak bank statement Saturday. A loss to the Subtreasury yesterday of $1,320,000 brings the drain since Friday to that Institution up to $2,155,000. There were some transfers to the West and to Boston by express early In the week, and the shipment of $500,000 gold to Buenos Ayres also must be reckoned with. The signing of a requisition by the Secretary of War for the $3,000,000 appropriated by Con gress for the .relief of the distress in the Phil ippines is expected to afford some resource In directly to the New York money market. The decision of the Secretary of the Treasury to re sume the refunding operation after April 1 was" not known until after the closing of the mar ket. The. heavy requirements for the Pennsyl vania stock subscription continued to have a discouraging effect on sentiment over the stronger outlook In the money market. It will be recalled, however, that In January last the Pennsylvania Company negotiated a six-months loan at 4V4 per ceat for $35,000,000. The pro ceeds of the first Installment of 50 per cent sub scriptions of the new stock of the company pa'yable in June will provide more than suffi cient resources for the liquidation of this entire loan. The company reserved the privilege at the time the loan was negotiated of extending It for another six months on the same terms. The net earnings for February published to day of the Atchison and tho Wabash systems showed that larger gross earnings, based on higher freight rates, had been Insufficient to overcome the higher operating expenses. This Is an additional feature in the repression of speculative sentiment. Bonos were irregular, -xotai sates, par vaiue. $1,745,000.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash ington. March 22. There Is an evident de sire on the part of the people of Eastern Washington that the General Government shall undertake the. construction of one or more Irrigation projects, with a view to reclaiming some of the fertile but arid recions lylnj? beyond the Cascade aioun tains, in their state. Senator Foster re cently placed on file with Secretary Hitch cock a petition of the citizens and county officials of Okanogan County, asking for the withdrawal of from 50.000 to 75,000 acres in the Salmon River "Valley, with view to their reclamation. The petitioners set forth that this land is rich, but there Is not sufficient rainfall for producing crops. They further represent that on the headwaters of Salmon River there is a. natural reservoir site that could be con verted Into a controllable reservoir with a small expenditure. By the construction of a division canal not over 40 miles long the waters of the Salmon River could be carried down the valley, and distributed onto an area ranging from 50,000 to 75,000 acres. There is not now much settlement on the lands that would be benefited, be cause or tneir ana cnaracter, Dut it 13 believed the lands would be rapidly taken up under the homestead law if the Gov ernment signified Its Intention of com mencing operations. There is no esti mate of the cost per acre of getting the water on the land, but these facts the Geological Survey will examine Into, and If it is apparent that the work Is" a feas ible one, and can be constructed at a moderate cost, the withdrawal asked for will be made. Such withdrawal would of course withhold the lands from entry un der all except the homestead laws. Convicted of Emhexzlcment. LEXINGTON'. Ky., March 25.
