THE MORNING OREGONTATT. SATURDAY, MAT 20, 1916. HEW PRICES NAMED California Frtrit Packers Re v , vise List Upwards. ADVANCES OVER OPENING Apricot and Peach Quotations Are liaised and Other Canned Goods v . May Also Be Ilisher Raw Fruit Costs More. Not only will canned pineapple prices be higher this season, as before stated In these columns, but other canned fruits are also .tending higher. Announcement ttss made, yesterday of harp advances over the opening prices of California canned peaches and apricots. The advance in apricots is over 32 per cent and Is due to the anticipated short crop as "well ' as the high cost of sugar. Canned peach futures were raised about 10 per cent over the opening quotations. Jin important factor In the higher prices of California canned fruits this year is the action taken by growers in the- leading pro ducing districts in farming associations sim ilar to those of the raisin ana walnut grow ers. For two years past California fruit men have been forced to accept ruinous prices tor their produce, so this year they have combined for self-protection. Other California fruits besides apricots ?nd peaches will be higher, according to trade reports. In the Southern California fru:t district, in particular, a light crop Is ' in sight, and cannors art finding It neces ' sary to purchase from the northern coun- - ties at prices' that a year ago would have ''teemed out of the question. Cherries, tor Instance, are now costing the packers $160 : a ton, against $110 last year. Pears are being bought n the North by Southern can- ners at $47.50. against $30 to $35 a ton. .'Peaches last year brought $7 to $10 a ton, . whereas this year canners are having to go outside their districts and pay $27.50 to $30 a ton. "Wet weather at the blossoming period and . cold weather after the fruit had set were .-lazgely responsible for the change In pros pects. It is estimated In some quarters that the reduction In the pack this year, as a result of the high prices, will amount to 1.500,000 cases.' In addition to the high cost of the raw product, practically every element en tering into the canning operation Is this 'year upon an abnormal basis, including - sugar, tin, labels and particularly labor. - Katurally the high prices are expected to restrict the demand, and, as packers are not likely to go ahead of the business in sight. the packing is tnererore likely to be cur- tailed. .

MANY LINES ARE SOLD AHEAD Activity Is Still a Dominant l'eature of Trade. NEW YORK, May 9. Bradstreefs tomor row win say: Activity is still the dominant feature practically aU commercial channels, and the phrase "sold ahead" typifies conditions that buttress most lines of enterprise. Yet it is probable that In the current week new busi ness has receded somewhat by contrast with the preceding superabundant activity, and it is evident that while buyers of essential staples are 4ill concerned about probable future supplies, they are purchasing more slowly, first to guard against loading up too Jc:i wiiu BiocKs, ana secondly they are K"fi iul uiiuea win recede. x nils Bireai. or rnnutrua t lam fi.nnina. . it aoes.

STOCK PRICES SOAR Wall-Street Market Is Broad and Trading Excited. RAILS ARE AGAIN IN LEAD Reading Scores Extreme Advance or Nearly Seven. Points Steel, Coppers and Marine Issues Aro Strong at Close. NEW TCfRK. May 19. Today's broad and excited market was in its superficial aspects strongly reminiscent of the unrestrained ses- oni of the second and tnira quarters ok last year, with the significance, however, that rails completely eclipsed "war brides" and other issues of unknown value. Reading was again the pivot around which the entire list revolved, sometimes In bewildering fashion. Reading common touched a new high quotation on its fore noon rise of C' points to 106H. falling back to 32 at midday, recovering to loo Vj. again yielding to 101 and closing at 103. The seeond preferred. In which trading was nee ligihle. also advanced Into new ground at 02, but closed with a net loss of 34 at 4' There was an utter absence of news or surface developments by which Reading could be traced to a reasonable elucidation. Nevertheless, the speculative community and not a few of the conservative element seemed of the ODlnlon that the lone-de ferred and much-discussed "aenre nation" of the company's assets soon would be an- nounced. Other coalers were naturally Influenced by Reading's impressive strength, their gains ranging from 1 to 3 points. virtually all the rails were embracer! in the rise. Pacifies, grangers, the Southern group and minor !fsus of no fixed class trailing along irregularly. A sharp reaction at midday, which was attributed to continuous profit-taking, whs followed by belated covering in the later dealings, when United States Steel, coppers and marines were at their Deet. Total sales of stocks amounted to 1.20O. OO0 shares, the lai-cest output since last October. Reading's contribution to the day was about 230.wio shares.

Largely In consequence the close, although unsettled. was c to lo net lower, with July at $1.12. and September at $1.12 1 12. Corn finished to c down, oats off to c, and provisions up 2 to 10c First trades In wheat were at material ecllnes, and, except during a brief period soon afterward, the advantage throughout he session remained with the bears. On the ensuing upturn, however, selling pres sure was redoubled, and the market sank lower than before, tne minimum level of the ay being coincident with announcement that Germany would make no reply to the latest note from Washington, and that ap parently the submarine ssue was at end. Weak cables and favorable weather contributed In some measure to the c!i couraaement of the wheat bulla. Nesr approach of the completion or plant- ng tended to ease off the corn market. Declines, however, were to some extent over come by shorts taking profits. Oats sagged with other grain. crop re ports were bearish, save for damage in Kan- ax by green Dugs.
