POOR LOTS HURT THE GOOD Kepetitlon of the Trouble Sot Likely Scxt Season Hopgnwers Pre ' paring for State Convention. Produce Trade Is Good Prune holders In this state are much In terested In the reports coming from New York of the rejection of a number of lots of p run os owing to their unsound condition. Much harm has already been done to the good name of the state. It Is said, and for the sake of the reputation established by the Oregon Italian prune, it Is to be hoped steps will be taken next season to prevent a repe tition of the trouble. A letter received by a local packer from New York dated January 8, said: The market is overloaded with rejected Oregon prunes. In the neighborhood of 25 or 30 cars have been rejected and unfortu nately the bad feature is the fact that they' were moldy.' This has a depressing efTect on good stock.' The New York Commercial of January 9, contained the following: The business in spot prunes is moderate. Occasional sales are reported In new crop Santa Claras within the range quoted on the various sizes in 25-pound boxes. It Is possible to buy old crop, and ordinary quality In new. crop at a shade under the Inside figures. The weak feature is the un sold lots of rejected Oregon prunes, these causing uneasiness among holders of even the good stock. Quotations on best Oregons in 20-pound boxes can be shaded on firm offer. The stock of prunes In the hands of all holders is estimated to not exceed carloads. The presence of this stock, it is believed, will operate against any import ant buying ' from the Coast for forward shipment. The Coast market on Santa Clara fruit Is quoted at 4-c to c four-size bag basis f. o. b. on sizes 40s; 30s, 60s and 70s. Outside fruit Is generally quoted on a 4o four-size bag basts f. o. b. 'l'he Coast stocks are largely in the control of the packers. Most estimates place the' total holdings at not to exceed 4SO carloads. In commenting on the matter, a well known Portland prune packer said yester day: "It is certainly to be regretted Chat Oregon prunes are going to the Eastern markets in unsatisfactory and unmerchantable condi tion. Some Oregon growers wolider why their prunes do not meet with ready sale. It Is said that some of the -packers dip only the facings while the rest of the prunes in the packago are undipped. There are many prunes unsold In Oregon In moldy condition and the growers are under the impression that when mold appears all that is necessary to do Is to shovel the prunes over and give them plenty of air. Experts in-this line of buMlness, how ever, have learned that when once a prune becomes jnoldy. It must be dipped and redrled. Oregon prunegrowers in the future will probably exercise more enre in making their contracts with pack ers." HOP MKN PKKPAKK FOB CONVENTION Htate Meeting Will Be Held Soon to Elect .Oregon's Hirer-tors.- -The organizers of thj Oregon dlvlsiop of the Pacific Coast Hongrowra Union are making arrangements for the eate convention of grow- 1 em, to be held soon. In Portland or Salem. At this convention the Oregon directors will, be elected and the union started on a feuelness career. An ' Important meeting will be held at Independence Friday afternoon, when an effort will be made to sign up all the Polk County growers. The princijal speaker at the meeting will be Conrad Krebs. Mr. Krebs, who was at the Belvedere 'Hotel yesterday, says the success of the Union Is already assured. "We have 7O0 of the 1200 Oregon growers already signed up," he said, "tt the dealer growers decline to join the union, we will have enough Independent of them to furnish the required 68 p"er cent of acreage and more, too. The financial feature of the union, which some of the dealers criticize, Is not the obstacle they believe it Is. I have inter viewed a number of bankers and they said they prefer to lend money to growers as mem bers of the union than as Individuals." H. H. Ptncus, of Tacoma, who is now in the city, say he hopes' the union wilt be a success, but he thinks tt wilt fall. 'We are 3000 bales .long for next year," he satd, "and If the union can raise prices It will be a good thing for us and for other dealer-growers as well. There are no short sellers for next year, as they cannot get sat isfactory prices. We have reporu? from So noma County that only 52 of the 148 growers signed up. while in Puyallup none signed the by-laws as drawn up In California, the grow ers objecting to tying themselves up for five years. If the union undertakes to grade the entire crop. It will be December before Its hops are on the market and by that time the outsiders and dealers will have sold, which will give the brewers four or five montlte' upply, and they will buy the rest of their requirements slowly, as they always do after the first of the year. The only opposition so far that the growers have encountered In their efforts to form an association has come from dealers on ..the Pacific Coast, and this opposition' evidently has stimulated them to double their efforts. The view taken by the growers Is that the trade's only opposition comes from a fear that a union means higher prices.

Front street's stock of vegetables was in creased yesterday by a further supply brought up by the steamer Roanoke. The demand proved good, however, and prices were weil maintained. The inquiry for sprouts was particularly strong. Cauliflower is also 'clean ing up well. . Onion buying was on a email scale, owing to, the firmness of growers. About 20 cam are understood to bo rolling southward ar.d it is thought this large quantity may tem porarily weaken the California markets. Po tatoes hold steady at unchanged prices. Better Tone In Poultry Market. Tre was a better feeling in the poultry market yesterday. Receipts were light and the accumulated stock of chickens was worked off at slightly higher prices. There was a strong demand for broilers, but very few were to be had. Turkeys, both live and dressed, continued adrug on the market: Although eggs were plentiful and slow xt sale, the price was held steady at 30 cents, in anticipation of colder weather in the near future. 9 There were no new developments in the but ter market. Wheat -Prices Are Firm. The local wheat market .continues firm, the occasional declines In England and the East having no effect on prices here. Trading was reported yesterday on the Portland track basis of 86 cents for club and SS cents for bluestem. Buying was not of active propor tions. Bank Clearings.

ROTATION OF FAVORITES Price Movement Is a Checkered One, but Nearly the Entire liist Shows Gains, as a Result of the Day's Business. NEW YORK, Hah. 14. The growing abun dance of funds in the money market afforded facilities for thte conduct of speculative opera tions in stocks and was taken advantage of freely by a considerable number of the pro fessional class. The result of these operations was the maintenance of prices at a level slightly above last night. The business was most unevenly distributed, and the price move ment .was a checkered one and notable for some of the omissions from the list of stocks af fected, as much as for those that showed con spicuous strength. Reading and the Hill stocks were fed out m about equal proportions today, and all timed so that the movement of these stocks was re stricted, notwithstanding a continuance of ac tivity in them. These were the stocks which had been features of speculation, and the realizing of speculative profits in them with the opportunity offered by the sustaining effect of the new points of strength was obvious. The points of strength were developed In ro tation, one stock or group being advanced for a time, then falling back. This is the favorite method of operation of the professional class. Much stres was laid upon the sale of New Central Equipment trust notes, for which J. Plerpont Morgan & Co. have Invited bids for $30,000,000, running from one to fourteen years. Reports point to a rapid allotment of these se curities to bankers and dealers, but the de mand from investors was not so much dwelt on. although the notes are being offered to yield 6W to 15 per cent; but the ready allot-, ment reported to be found for them was seized upon as a sign of Improvement In the ten dency of capital to move into investment. " New York Central Itself led the day's ad vance in the stock market. Reports of tardi ness in making payment to equipment com panies by some of the leading railroad com panies of the country have been a depressing factor in Wall street ever since the Westing house Electric receivership, and receivership trust notes may be regarded as affording assur ances to these companies against embarrass ment through delayed collections. This was the avowed ground for the brisk recovery In some ftf the railroad equipment stocks. Le attention was paid 'b returns of gross earn ings of railroads, v hich showed some heavy decreases from the amount of last year's cor responding earnings. Details of projected economies of railroad companies by reduction of working forces and cutting down of sal aries of executive officers, were considered of less importance as indicating the outlook than the money market future. There was a pronounced recession In the rate of interest for time loans, caused by larger of ferings and also by a decrease in demand for this form of loan. The reflux of funds to the reserve centers seems to be on so" large a scale that no misgivings are entertained of the ef fect of the Treasury withdrawals of Govern ment deposits from National banks for other possible requirements. The process of lifting prices had traversed very much the whole 1UH by the end of the day and the close was strong. Bonds were Irregular, total sales 44,232,000. United States) bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. Adams Express Amal Copper 88,500 Am Car & Foun. 2,000 High. Low.

HIS FAMILY 01 PAYROLL IDAHO AUDITOR HIRES WIFE AND SOX FOR CLERKS. Stale Board of Examiners Refuses to Allow Claim for AVages and Bra gaw Kicks Up Muss. BOISE. Idaho, Jan. 14. (Special.) The friction that has existed for some tima between State Auditor R. S. Bragaw on one side and Governor Gooding and some of the other state officials on the other witnessed another development In the filing of an application in the Supreme Court by Bragaw for a writ of prohibition against Governor Gooding, Attorney-General Guheen and Secretary of State Lansdon. comprising the Board of Exam iners, to prevent them from interfering with the affairs of the Auditor's office by refusing to approve claims for clerk hire. Bragaw employed his son at a salary of $135 a month and his -wife at $100. The board took exception and, cut the son's salary to fTa, refusing to allow the wife's claim In any sum. The action of th board was based upon the belief that the state was not receiving services for the pay claimed. Mr. Bragaw sets forth in Ms petition tnat the Legislature made an appropriation to pay for clerical assist ance and these persons were duly . em ployed to and did render such assistance. His position Is that it Is none' of any other official's business whom he em ploys. ' ' FEEL IKOX HAXB OF THE LAW Cottage Grove "Bootlegsers" Are Placed Under Arrest. COTTAGE GROVE, Or., Jan. 14.

Cent of Annual-Amount Held a Year Ago. CHICAGO, Jan. .14. The wheat market displayed some weakness during the first hour, because of a decline of nearly one penny at Liverpool and because of in creased receipts in the Northwest. Toward the middle of the session, the market be came strong, chiefly as a result of a sharp advance in - corn. Sentiment continued bullish the remainder of the day, although some recessions In prices were made owing to sales brought out by an increase of 2,000.000 bushels in the world's visible supply, compared with a decrease of .2.217.000 bushejs the corresponding time last year. The market was buoyant late in the day on advices from the Northwest regarding the small quantity of wheat still remaining in farmers' hands, the aver age reserve being estimated at from 10 to 30 per cent of the amount held a year ago. The close was steady. May opened 9c lower to a shade higher 'at S1.04U to $1.04 and closed at $1.04.
