THE 3IORXIXG OREGOSIAX TUESDAY JUNE 30, 190S. 15 PUCKERS ASK MORE Higher Prices Quoted on Fu ture Oregon Prunes. BUT TRADING IS SLOW California Market Almost Nominal. Firm Buying or A'alley Wool. Better Movement In Local Fruit. Opening prices on 1008 Oregon Italian prunes have not j-et been generally made, but the few packers who ara in the field are not underrating tho value of their goods, and In view of the prospective short out put, are not disposed to book contracts ex cept at an advance over the tentative prices put out about three weeks ago by one interest and at which it was reported a number of cars were sold to Middle West buyers. Estimates of the total output In Oreeon and Washington vary, but the general view "f packers seems to be that the crop will be under T5 per cent of last year's, and may fall far short of this. Consequently the packers who are now ready to book orders for late September or October shipment are asking 3tt cents f. o. b. for 40s and 3 cents fo.- 30s. Some business in 4fta, offered at 34 cents f. o. b. basis is said to have been turned down. Of the condition of the market for ir7 prunes In the East, the latest Issue of the New York Journal of Commerce said: "Fpot Oregon prunes have sold a little better to the East Side trade of late, but the buying has been against actual wants, and no Important transactions have come to the surface. The market is still unsettled, though the best stock Is held firmly up to the quotations." According to the California Fruit Grower, little or no business is passing In California prunes and quotations are almost nominal. That paper says: Some old prunes are being picked up at times by packers, and it is understood that some future Santa Claras have been bought at lower prices than tho general run of growers are expecting. The prune situa tion of Itself Is very strong. This fruit, however, shares In the general dullness of the market and will he to a. considerable extent affected by cheap peaches and cheap apples, the latter being In large prospective l-upply throughout the country. Spot prunes ere unchanged In price and futures quotable from 3MI6-4C, with no business passing Large prunes are being well held owing to the scarcity of large sizes in the growing crop, and lHc premium is asked on future 30s by nearly all packers, and many asking U on 40s. 6AI.E OF URGE rOOL VAIXEV WOOL High Price. Paid at the Sale at Caldwell, .Idaho. A pool of Willamette Valley wool aggre gating nearly 30.000 pounds was sold at Corvallls at a price reported to be 14 cents per pound. The market Is fairly Arm for the best grades of Valley wool, but full prices are only being paid for the choicest lots. At the scheduled wool sale at Caldwell, Idaho, the growers were well satisfied with the prices paid. Thirteen buyers were In attendance and, the highest bid was 16?i cents. The sales were as follows: Andy Little, 82,500 pounds at 104c; Andy Little, 813.468 pounds, 14c. sold to Eisemann: Tark & Pegram. 22.000, at 15sc, to Living ston; William Woody, 21.905. at 11 c. to Vlsemann; John Aearaga, 1.1,440, at lis,c, to Eisemann; Blass Tellerla, 30.732. at I2'ic. to Eisemann; John L'lezega, 10.7O4. at 10ic, to Eisemann: Azcuenega Bros, 104.610. at 13c. and 11,000. at 11c. to Eisemann: C.

DEMAND FOB FRUIT OPENS STRONGER Warm Weather Stimulates Trade In All Lineal-Peaches and Apricots Scare. Business for the week opened very well in the fruit and vegetable line yesterday, and If the warm weather continues an ac tive trade Is looked for all the week. The demand was especially strong for cantaloupes and good progress was made in cleaning up the accumulated supplies Gen eral quotations were 1.23 1.7s per crate. Peaches and apricots were wanted and both were scarce. A car of mixed California fruits, mostly peaches, is due this morning. The lemon market was very active and firm and oranges also moved well. Logan berries, raspberries and blackberries are becoming more plentiful. There Is but little call now for strawberries. Three cars of bananas were unloaded in satisfactory condition. The prospect Is for only a limited supply of bananas for the trade of the Fourth, as the Jobbers. In view of the interrupted train service, -the rult of the frequent washouts, have ordered cautiously. A full supply of vegetables of all kinds Is now being carried and most prices are on a seasonable basis. LAST OF THE KRKBS HOPS SOLD. Benla Buys Two Cars at Brooks at 6 Cents. Krebs Bros, yesterday sold two carloads of their Brooks hops to Henry L. Bents at 54 cents. This cleans out all of the Krebs holdings of 1H07 hops. Word comes from New York of the sale at auction there by Paul R. G. Horst of 800 bales of 10U6 Oregons at S cents. Most of Horsfs big block of hops is at London and It was their removal to that market that led to the English outcry against the "dumping" of American hops.. Weekly Grain Statistics.

Prices there are higher than at Portland and the reduction will, come in the nature of a readjustment of values. There is a small movement In the export flour market, but no great ac tivity in this line is. expected in the near future. All the local grain markets are Tiulet. Eight Billion Dollar Crop. The crops of 100S will be worth $S,000, 000,000, according to figures prepared by the officials of the United States Department of Agriculture. Chief Statistician Clark is quoted as saying: "Indications are for great crops. For eight years the American farmer has enjoyed unprecedented prosperity, and now the ninth promising harvest is prac tically assured. Never have there been nine such years, years of big yields and high prices." Country Produce Trade Light. There were the usual light receipts of poultry yesterday and the demand was not brisk, but a steady tone pervaded the mar ket and Saturday's prices were again quoted. The egg trade was quiet with prices steady and unchanged. Butter continues active and firm and the cheese market shows strength. BOARD OF TRADE QUOTATIONS. Grain, Flour and Feed.

UNDERTONE IS FIRM Stock Operators Convinced . Improvement Lies Ahead. BUT THERE IS NO DEMAND Market Is Without Life and Prices Drift Sluggishly Small En gagement of Gold for Ex port to Germany. NEW YORK, June 29. The stock market was apathetic today and the sluggish drift of prices represented nothing more substan tial than the testing operations of profes sionals. There was little to Indicate any notable change in fundamental conditions. The present firm undertone of the market evidently la based on the conviction that improvement lies ahead and the poor show ing of present conditions seems not to have much effect in shaking this opinion. While securities are withheld from the market in this opinion, it does not stimulate any de mand for new holdings, even with the near approach on the semi-annual disbursements of probably $200,000,000. With an unyield ing surplus of banking reserves in the New York banks which keeps interest rates at a level far below the rate of return on well secured share and bond issues, there is no symptom of a seasonable reinvestment de mand In the New York market. There was 'another small engagement of gold for shipment to Germany today, and Paris took practically all of the available supply of gold from the London market. These two sources of contir ued pressure for gold represent the only doubtf ul factors in the undeviating prospect of redundancy In the world's money markets. Ixndon looks for a 2 per cent Bank of England rate dur ing the month of Julj', and there is no ap parent interruption of the inflow of cur rency from the country's active circulation into New York banks of reserve. Railroad earnings reports show no signs of the promised Improvement in business, net earnings for May being poorer than those for April, as April was poorer than March.' The Atchison return made public today improves the May average thus far shown, the gross decrease of $1,790,502 be ing cut down in the net return to $529,147 loss by the curtailment of operating costs. This demonstration of the inefficiency of economies to overtake the fall in earnings of the railroads keeps attention centered on the problem of wage readjustment. The Washington estimates of $60,000,000 deficit In the revenues for the fiscal, year ending tomorrow point to the necessity of early withdrawal of Government deposits from National banks. This prospect receives small attention, however, in view of the bulk of the bank reserves and the wide margin of unemployed funds held by the banks. The crop news today was plentiful, but wan so balanced in its promise from differ ent localities as to neutralize It as a stock market factor. Bonds, were irregular. Total sales, par value. $2,041,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.

FIRE CHIEF IN SCHOOL Budapest Official Studies American Methods in Practical Wuy. NEW YORK. June 29. For more than a month Stephen Joseph Adam, chief of the fire department of Budapest. Hungary, has been fighting fire on the East Side as a member of Hook and Ladder Com pany No. 18. Adam, who weighs 230 pounds, came to this country accompanied by his wife and son and commissioned by the Budapest authorities to make a thor ough investigation of the system of. fight ing fl.ames in the big cities of the United States. It took the Hun garian fire fighter several days to become accustomed to the quick action of the New Yorkers. At the first alarm the hook and ladder truck was half way to the fire before Adam had his boots on. He soon caught the swing, however, and was usually the first to slide down the bras Dole. Tomorrow Adam will join the crew of the rireboat New Yorker at the Battery and for two weeks will see how harbor fires are fought. Next he will go to Chicago to observe the system there.
