1 THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 1903. 13 FRENCH PRUNE GROP All Indications Point to a Lamentable Failure. WORMS AND HAIL 00 DAMAGE Prices for tlie Frnll ia Oregoa ShoslS Be Good Oreelt Cnrraat Monopoly Propoaedi-Lecal Produce QaotatioBs. The foreign market for Oregon prunes prom lses to be better tills year than ever before, owing tb the failure of .the French crop and the poor California prospects. Late advices from France make the situation there worse than was previously reported. It Is now eald that 7,000,000 pounds will cover the en tire output, which Is a failure. Recently se vere hall storms have ravaged localities where other Injuries had not appeared, and stripped the trees of both fruit and leaves. Some of them will never recover! The main trouble with the French crop are the worms. They cat Into the- fruit, which turns white and drops. Whole districts have been made waste by this destructive Insect, which never appeared In such numbers be fore. Thousands of trees will not have a sin gle prune left. Others will have only a few. In Bosnia, opening prices have been1 made. For Si-85s, 44 francs per kilo is juoted, and for 00-SOs SS francs per kilo. The relatively email yield will prevent very active trading. The situation in California remains un changed. Late advices report a number of cars eold recently for export account, and eome further Inquiry. The y:eld will be prac tically one-third less than last year. The Quality promises unusually well. Greek Export of Carrants. Minister Jackson, of Athens, transmits the' following statement with regard to the Greek currant trade from the beginning of the sea son (August B, 1P02) to the end of the month of February. 1903: 'The whole export amount ed to nearly 223,000,000 Venetian pounds, of which nearly 28.000.000 pounds, or more than one-ninth, went to the United States. Eng land was the best customer, taking over 115, 000,000 pounds: whilo both Holland and Ger many took little more than the United States. An English syndicate is negotiating with the Greek Ministers for the purpose of obtaining the cole Tight to export currants from the country. They have not as yet been able to come to terms as to the price to be paid to the producers. Proponed. FrerjcU Tariff on Wool. A prominent French Deputy has recently submitted a proposition to Impose a duty of 10 francs ($1.83) per 100 kilograms (2Z046 pounds) on wool, of whatever origin. Wools In the cult are now exempt from duty, there being only an insignificant tax on products df European origin Imported direct from the country of production. Horse Meat In Paris. United States Consul Haynes reports to the State Department from Rouen: It Is stated that at the Vlliejult slaughter houses 23,000 horses are killed annually and at Pantln 7a00, making a total of 30,600. Of this number 10,600 are consumed in the en virons of Paris, leaving a. consumption -of 1D.C0O In the city Itself. . The average weight of each horse is said to be 250 kilograms f51 15 pounds). One-third of this. "however, is composed of bone and sinew, sold as waste s.t 4 francs (77.2 cents) per 200 kilograms (440.92 pounds). There remains, therefore, about 107 kilograms (3CS.17 pounds) of mar ketable meat to each horse, which would give a total consumption of 3,250,000 kilograms (7,178,177.0 pounds) annually. Idaho Crop Ileport. The Idaho weekly crop report says: Fruit continues to make rapid growth: in most localities of the Southwestern valleys, strawberries are abundant, and cherries are' becoming more plentiful, though row are ap pearing In market. Wheat Is heading In more favored districts; there is eome complaint of short straw In the Upper Fayette Valley; irrigation of wheat Is being resorted to in Southeastern countle where water Is available; some "dry farm" grain Is suffering from lack or moisture. Alfalfa Is being irrigated over the entlro southern portion of the state; harvest of the first crop is In progress In southwest districts, and will soon be begun in other sections; the crop is about average, or slightly below. Range grass Is abundant. Early potatoes are in use; peas for can neries are being harvested; thinning of sugar beets Is practically complete, and the crop promises well. Range stock throughout the state Is In ex cellent condition; cattle are rapidly gaining In flesh. Hop Contract Filed. SALEM, Or., June IS. (Spoclal.)

The Iron Trade Re view this week say: Production arid con sumption In iron and steel appear to have come to an equilibrium at high point for both. As to the side on which the balance will fall in the immediate future there does not appear to be any disagreement, but the week has given little new light on the moot ed question 6T the price basis on which large buying will be stimulated. Indications point to a limited and careful buying until the ef fect of recent financial developments can be made. With the production of pig Iron in May at a rate almost equal to 21,000.000 tons a year, there was an Increase in reported stock: for the month 'of 40,000 tons, while pig iron imports amounted to 45,000 tons. This would Indicate that pig -Iron imports In the Immedi ate future will mean simply so much accu mulatlon of domestic iron. New furnaces con tinue to be added to the producing list, and several more will be ready in the next month or two. Meanwhile, the number of stacks under repair seems not to decrease, but tha new stacks are of high capacities. The expectation that the rail milli would open their books this week for business for 10C4 has aroused some Interest In the steel market. There is no other price talked of than $28, and at this figure large orders will soon be placed. Inquiries being on hand for several hundred thousand tons. Including tha 100,030 tons from Harrlman Interests, Incor rectly reported this week: as a sale. It is stated that close to 4OQ.OO0 tons of rails placed for 1003 will be carried over. At $32 It is believed plates, shapes and steel bars are In accord with present conditions and the outlook. The pig iron market Is not Inactive, and Inquiry is of good proportions, but foun dry iron has not found Its place. Ml nine Stocks. SAN" FRANCISCO. June 18.

PeHBsylVanla Shares Are In Special Demand Acmte Selling: In Trac tions and Ireji and SteeL NEW TORK, June 18. Tb-re were a few Individual stocks In which acttve trading and wide movements made cros cur rents In the stock market today, but the great body of securities listed tot trading cn the Exchange was stagnant. The market started off with some show of ' strength under the Influence of the reduc tion In the rate of discount of the Bank of England to 3 per cent and the easier tone of private discount In response. A higher range of quotations for Americans as a consequence a -Vailed the opening of the stock market here. Some of the leaders were lifted a point overv last night during the first half hour. Penssyl T'shla was In rpeclal demand and rumors continued to circulate that the Pennsylvania Gould dispute had been adjusted. It was possible to secure official admissions that ef forts to this end were being made, but these seemed to be by outside Interests rather than by mutual approach of the two parties to the difference. The progress of subscriptions to the new Pennsylvania Btoch had a favorable effect on Its market value as well. When it was learned that the price of cotton waa running 6ff skarpir. the professional opera tors In stocks Indulged the hope that they would be able to force an upward turn, but they met selling pressure and had to aban don the attempt. This selling was especially acute In Metro politan Street RalliVay. Metropolitan Securi ties and tl Iron and steel stocks, the selling being notably large In United States Steel, both common and prferffrd. The former touched 2STj and (he latter, exceeded Its pre vious low record of 76- by a fall to 78H. The presenc In the market of a large and persist ent selling order In United States Steel was the occasion of much surmise ns" to Its source. Tbe whole group was depressed by the ad missions made by an authority In the trade that concessions made In the price of iron did not yet tempt consumers, and that con cessions are being quietly made by some of the larger interests In the steel market. A further reduction In the price of Iron was an nounced during the day. The Incident of a de layed payment of maturing 6bl(gatl6ns by the Colorado Fuel Company was a continuing factor of depression In the whole grouoV Col orado Fuel Itself dropped, at one lime but recocred the greater part of that less. The e-fect of the Bank of England's die- count reduction was partly Offset by" the con tinued strength of sterling here, nhr Its weakness In Berlin and Paris. The inference seems to M a disposition on the part of Ber lin and Paris to withdraw capital from Lon don on account of the reduced interest rate, with an attempt on the part of London to di vert the demand upon New York. Money con tinued easy and the banks are gaining from the Subtreaaury and It is believed interior points as well. Rates for time loans, however. are firmly held and 5H per cent is demanded for loans over the year's end. The ease of call money Is -said to be due to tho fact that large provision has been made by many Inter ests In the way of time loans to guard agalnfrt the period of stringency and In the meantime keeping the proceeds of there time loans out at call on stock collateral. The market closed Intensely dull and weak and near the low level -of the day with losfea of about 1 point In a number of leading stocks. Bonds were weak. Total sales, par value. $1,604,600. Uftlted States bonds wtre all un changed on the last call. STOCKS.

Ambassador Porter Is making arrangements for the reception of the United States International. Exchange Commission, -which Is expected to arrive here early in July and join Senator Li mantour, tho Mexican Minister of Finance, who has already arrived here. The Chinese Minister will also take part in the negotiations. Conferences will be held with Finance Minister Rouvler. It is anticipated that there will be numerous difficulties, owing to the long established usages of both metals and the Interna tional responsibility of France and other countries of the Latin union. It appears to be the view of the leading French financiers that Instead of assisting Mexico and China to abandon a silver standard, It would be better to Induce them to ac cept a gold system.
