IS THE MORNING OREGONIAJS", FRIDAY,. MAY - 6, 1904; V- 10 NOT EAT PRUNES :reak Year in the Dried Fruit Trade, Says Mr. Gile, ROUBLE NOT OVERSUPPLY (Lack of Consumption Responsible for Present Ruinous' Prices-Association Gradually Closing Out Stocks at Low Figures. SALEM. Or.. May 5. (Epeclal.) "This has been a freak year in 'the dried fruit business," is the way H. S. Gile, manager of the Wil lamette Valley Prune Association, explains the conditions which bare been discouraging to growers. Sir. Gile has just returned from en extended tour of the Middle 'West and East, In the Interest of Oregon prunes. How to ad vertise prunes and create a demand for them was bis principal mission. He vielted all the large cities, met all Ihe large wholesalers and Jobbers, and consulted the principal advertis ing agencies. "Everywhere I went men who are familiar with the conditions In the dried fruit market tell me that this has been a freak year, and that the conditions cannot be accounted for. They say It Is something they meet occasion ally, and something they cannot forsee. The trouble was not oversupply, but lack of con sumption. People simply did not eat prunes. The price was no higher than usual lower. If anything. But people did not want dried fruit of any kind, and they wouldn't buy. Pried apples, peaches and apricots suffered the same way. There was no particular reason why the demand should suddenly cease, but It did. "Just now people in the Middle States are j beginning to buy prunes, and dealers tell me I that the retail trade In that fruit Is as heavy as they have ever known it. I am aure that all Oregon prunes of the crop of 1003 will be consumed before the 1904 crop Is ready for market. Perhaps the heavy demand now Is due In part to the exceptionally low prices." The association has been selling prunes rap idly In the last few days, but at a very low price, a basis of lc for the four sizes, or 3c for 40s to 50s. The association has 40 carloads remaining, and there are probably 15 carloads more In the state. First Wool Sale at the Dalles. THE DALLES. Or.. May 5. (Special.) The first wool sale made at this place of the 1904 crop occurred today. About 10,000 pounds ge- longisg to Leo Brune, of Klickitat County, Washington, was purchased by The Dalles Scouring Mills at 13c. Since the construction of the Columbia Southern Railroad, only about one-tenth of the wools that -were formerly sold in this market arc handled here, the nine tenths stopping at Shaniko, where the first sales day Is fixed for June 2. The new clip has not yet begun to arrive at that place. PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain, Flour, Teed, Etc. The wheat market continues dull and unin teresting. The undertone of values may be a shade firmer in view of the lower freight quo tations, but prices have not advanced, nor has business increased.

News of Day Has Little Effect Either Way and Offers Nothing to Stimu late Revival of Speculation. NEW YORK, May 5. The sluggishness and narrowness of the stock market was even more notable today than on previous days this week. The movement of prices was so slight as to offer little basis for comment. United States Steel preferred was somewhat relieved from the pressure to which it was recently subjected, and Pennsylvania was rather freely sold with the dividend off. There was only small buying of stocks, as seemed necessary to prevent the sagging tendency which Is nor mal to a stagnant market. The news of the day had little effect either way. Such developments as there were offered nothing to stimulate any revival of specula tion. The news from London of the flotation of a Japanese loan of $50,000,000, of which New York is expected to take half, was ac cepted as another evidence of a real abun dance of capital resources here, and the money market was quite unaffected by these prospective claims upon it. The advance in refined sugar was taken as explanatory of yesterday's strength in sugar, but It was not followed up today. Railroads reporting week ly gross earnings showed declines without ex ception for the fourth week In April. Prices receded late In the day under offerings by tired holders, but the decline did not proceed far. The day'e. net changes were trivial losses. There was more variety In the bond market than ' in stocks, but the tone was Irregular. Total sales, par value, $2,430,000. United States old 4s coupon declined per cent on call.

In spite of continued fa vorable weather in the Southwest, 'a bullish feeling pervaded the wheat pit at the opening. Initial sales, however, were made at a trifle lower prices than yesterday's close. Early sentiment was largely dominated by the Illi nois crop report, which was quite bullish. Toward the middle of the session, operators received fresh inspiration from a report of an expert who claimed that the wheat crop of eight states east of the Rocky Mountains would be decreased GO.000,000 bushels from that of a year ago. There was also a very bullish report from Oklahoma in regard to the condition of the crop in that section. Heavy and influential buying of July continued throughout the great er part of the session. Late In the day, there was considerable profit-taking, which caused some reaction from the hlih point, but the market closed firm. Final figures on July were at 85c after the price had reached Soft S5c An Improved cash demand and continued small receipts were responsible for a firm tone in corn early In the day. July opened a shade lower to a shade higher, at 48&4Sc, and closed at4SS4SHc Oats ruled firm, partly In sympathy with other grains, and partly on active covering In the May option. The market closed about steady, with July at 3ST339c. t Strength In grains and decreased receipts of hogs, with higher prices at the yards, caused firmness In provisions. There was a better outside demand, and packers also were liberal buyers. The market closed firm. with July pork up 7c, lard unchanged, and ribs 2&c higher.

AT SAN Crop Outlook Good, but Shippers Not Anxious to Charter Ahead-Small Fruits Are in Full Supply. SAN FRANCISCO. May 5. (Special.) Grain freights are easier at this port, owing to lack of demand. The crop outlook Is good, but shippers are not 'anxious to charter ahead, fearing a large number of French vessels may repeat their actions of the past two sea sons in taking low rates. The spot rate is nominally 16s 3d. Vessels for new crop load ing are offering at 22s 6d, with not over 21s 3d bid. Engaged tonnage for grain, 6700 tons; disengaged, 86,000. Wheat, barley and oats were well sustained, but not much business was done. Feedstufts were Hrm. May was easy, but receipts were lighter, and choice wheat is not plentiful. Strawberries are now arriving freely from several districts, and being cheaper, are di verting attention from apples, citrus and trop ical fruits. Receipts of early cherries are also Increasing, but the quality Is rather poor. The supply of sound navel oranges is not exces sive, and prices are steady. Small shipments of Cuban pineapples aro arriving. Bananas are abundant. Old potatoes of fancy grade are firm, but poor stock shows no improvement. New po tatoes in sacks are more plentiful and lower. Some In boxes arrived from the river, but were of poor quality. New red onions are low.er on account of larger arrivals. Old onions, no tably Australians, are Arm. Most kinds of early garden vegetables are easier. Butter and cheese are easy. Eggs are In brisk demand and higher. Receipts, 78,000 pounds butter, 72,000 pounds cheese, 46,000 dozen eggs.
