FLORIN STRAWBERRIES SOON JTroepeeta Good for in Enormous Crop in Thla State Growers Are Contractlnv'Wltli Distributors. The first strawberrlee of the mm arrived by express from .California yesterday. They were received by the Plerson.Page Company. sod came la a, pony refrigerator, containing 43 baaketa. The berries vers from 1x34 Angeles. snfl wera of tb Longworth rsrlety. They were of am-clui Quality, sail sold at 23c Etrswberrles Trill arrive daily from CsllUrnU. up to the time that Oregon berries make their appearance. Next week shipments will be re ceived from the famous Florin district. All Indications point to an Immense crop of Oregon berries In view of the greatly la- proved acreage this year. The crop, however. may be late, owing to the backward Spring. Up In Salem, the Fruitgrowers' Union Is meet ing with success In getting the growers to sign contracts to deliver their crop to the Salem manager and the Portland distributing firm. which Is only awaiting the completion of the contracts, when It will put Its men on the road and get Into all the Northwestern markets with the Salem product. Says the Salem statesman: The success of these piufluitii' pools Is now well established, and the Salem Fruitgrowers Union has undoubtedly a great future before It. It Is stated that the mohair pool got STHe for Its entire dip. when selling as Individuals tbey would have averaged from 27c to 30tf a pound. Contracts for the signatures of the fruitgrowers are In the hands of A. Aufraac juuju yno4os, secretary of the union, and H. B. Thlelsen. of the board of directors. All growers of strawberries, cherries and small fruits are urged to doss up the lists and thus enable the work of preparing for distribution w me iarsc maraeta to be pushed. Advices from MeMlnmrlMe are as follows: " The strawberry crop In this part of tha coun tr"wlll be very late, and It looks now as If the crop would be llrht. The cold weather and rains have kept the vines back. If the latter vmn vi ima monui is warm, there mar be very good late crop. There are about 60 acres m im county scattered around McMlnnvllle. uniiy ana jicwDerg. TEA. CHOI OP 1003. Shorter Than It Una Been for Many Years Past. An official estlmat of the tea crop for 1803 places the total at 154.0C0.000 pounds, dis tributed as follows: Pounds. Russia ... Europe India Australia Africa America United Kingdom Far East . .. 14.000.000 2.000.000 1.030.000 21.000.000 ............... 1.000,000 i 14.000.000 M, 000,000 6.000.000 In this computation 14.000,000 pounds of green lea are estimated, and with prices on their present bssls It Is generally believed that many planters win go back to black tea, par ticularly on estates which are not under con tract. in regard to mala and Ceylon teas. it Is tha general opinion In .planting circles that the rui wg-ioB ims year win certainly not exceed those of 1002. tha opinion being based upon the appearance of the bushes. During January and February the total num ber of pounds of this class of tea placed on otter was 8.233,630. compared with 0,022.238 for the oorreepondtng months last rear. In their report on the Colombo tea market for the month of Febuary. Tarrant, Hender son ujl, ot umaoa and Calcutta, say: Weather haa only been rooderatelv tivnM. for flushing during the month. Estimates an generally somewhat behind. Shipments for the year to date to the United Kingdom are 12.000,000 less than during the earns period last year. t-iucsinge continue about the same, fine to medium. Prospects point to small nrmii for soma considerable time to come, and expe rienced planters state that they have never known tea to be so short, for a great many F m ii is ai preeent. MOHAIR FOOL.

The Iron Are. in Its review oi tne iron and ateel markets, aavs Surface Indications are adverse In the faun. dry Iron marketa ot the country, and there la weak reeling, sales are larrelv confined tn spot lots and to early delivery. Utile belnr done for the second half. The ralmna nf inoso transacuona Is Urge, contlderlng the etrcumitancea. Tbe fact remains that the con sumption remains on a very larra scale, sad nisi, our increasing production will be com pensated for to a considerable extent bv the cutting off ot Imports. Our prices for domes tic Iron now have reached a flsure where It Is unprofitable to Import foreign Iron for dis tribution in small lots or to shin larrer blocks any distance Into tha Interior. It Is likely, too. that American furnace men will In the future meet foreign prices on large' transactions in vjosii marketa. In the Central West practically the whole foundry Industry waa covered for the first half of this year late In IMS, and relatively few of tne rounanes have taken care of their require ments for tbe second half. This nrarsa vn have Justified. The fact that leading Southern marxets nave openly established a urlee of 11 per ton lower for Eastern business than for sales to consumers west of Pittsburg does not Impress consumers favorably. The ataal situation Is peculiar In that It looks like our producing capacity is Inadequate. It la understood that the pressure upon tha steel works ot the lesdlng Interest Is such that some oi tna plants ars facing the alternative of switching off from the steel rail manufac ture to tha rolling ot billets. The pressure for deliveries of finished materia as the Spring trade opens and as outdoor construction work becomes general, puts exceptional pressure upon all the plants. Although" a little more blllet-produclng capacity Is In sight from East ern works, the opportunities for Importing for eign steel continue, and some round aalea have been made ot alabs. billets and aheet pars. Tne structural trade Is somewhat hamsered by labor troubles, but a very large tonnage li tn sight. Tha bar trade is rather unlet. The Western makers ot steel ban have reaffirmed prices, aa cava auo ua manufacturers of shafting. Metal Marketa. NEW TORK, April IS.

The sperslatlra activity which developed yesterday an was In terrupted by tha announcement of tha rsfusal of tha demands made by tha Manhattan Ele vated .Railroad employes wsj, renewed today when aupport waa forthcoming for Manhattan. It was hoped that the labor dUSeulUea am the elevated system would be adjusted without re sort to a strike, and this Induced soma abort covering la the stock. When It waa perceived that tha market was to be exempt for the present from the disturbance of a drop In this stock, opportunity was taken to start 'an 'up ward movement on the part of a speculattts party which Is believed to have covered . ta short contracts on tbs recent slump and to havtgona long of the market. Thdrwera Uons were conspicuous in Baltimore at Ohio on the ground of tha largo Increase in. net earn ings disclosed by tha March statement. Penn sylvania and. Norfolk & Western were Included In the operations under this leadership. Other astern trunk noes and coalers showed soma sympathy, "but the barter la Ihes and else- woere m tne market could not be traced tt the same acurcea as the movement In tbe Peon sylvanla group. Early In the day. with .the exception o? ft good absorption of Missouri Pacta c, baaed on Ita largs'February earnings, the Western and Pacific stocks wen inclined to fcanr back. Some suspicion was felt as to the character of tha selling In Union Pacific and St. Panl.. The testimony regarding tha finances of tha Metro politan street Railway la tha hearing of a salt agaum me president for libel resulted also In soma atQIng of tha stock In the eariv drsllnrs and a slightly sympathetic, oepresslon.

Tha stock reacted atput a point on me maintenance of tha -tmrralllnr dividend rate, but saved a fractional .net gain la spite or, tbe weakness of raw copper and copper siocxs in xoreign markets. Sugar's continued rise was due to favorable trade reports. The weeaiy review or tbe Iron trade, helped .the Iron and steel stocks, tha conaumntlon' in all lines being reported .well sustained at the high level, and the slight weakness manifested In vsrlous grades being "due to Increased produc tion.
