EFFORTS OF MANAGER GILE It Will Cost a Large Sum to Place the Oregon Product Properly Be fore the People of the East. SALEM. Or., May 7. (Special-) Discussing the object of his recent Eastern trip. H. L. Gile. manager of the Willamette Prune As sociation, said: "My recent trip in the East was entirely In the interest of advertising: Oregon prunes. I went directly to St. Louis and first spent come time with the adiertlsing concern which bandied the advertising campaign for Cali fornia prunes in the Spring of 1901. Then, going to Chicago, consulted with the heads of two of the largest advertising concerns in the country, when we went into the matter very fully and decided that a general news paper campaign so late In the Spring would sot be a wise business proposition. A Cash campaign, to bring a result, must of neces sity be of such broad lines as to bo extremely wasteful, and no sum of money that the growers of Oregon could devote would be suf ficient to bring satisfactory results. After going into the question of the merits of the Oregon prune, the oldest advertising experts ore willing to etake their reputation that the campaign could be wisely planned to cover a period of four or five years, which would easily place the Oregon prune at the -very head of the list, Instead of ocupylng the un enviable position which it does today of al ways dragging prices down on prunes of all kinds. I "It would take, approximately, $20,000 to $25,000 a year to accomplish this result "We hae selected a few strategic points and are spending some money in advertising, to dem onstrate in a measure what results may be reasonably looked for should a general cam paign be inaugurated on a broader scale in the future. "We have extended the 6tudy of this ques tion into the wholesale centers of the East, Including Canada, and it is a fact that fully B9 per cent of the consumers and a very large per cent of the retailers do not discriminate at all between prunes and that there is no discriminating knowledge whatever as to- va rieties with the consumer, to whom a prune le a prune. If there is no discrimination at all with the consumer, it is very force of habit in calling for all kinds of fruit under the well-advertised name of "California fruit." Our sister state, recognizing the im portance of the fruit industry, has spent money to teach the consuming public to say "California fruit." This alone accounts for the fact that California prunes outsell Ore gon. In proof of this statement, it is a fact that fully 00 per cent of the wholesale buj ers of dried fruit who use prunes at all ex press a personal preference for 'the Oregon prune for their own tables. These are men who are experts and who know how to dis criminate, but these men are not in bulness to reform the world. They buy the article whl?h they can sell easiest, hence it is only when the price is an inducement that he will push Oregon prunes. Competition among Ore gon packers has forced prices cent lower tnan teason or good sense demanded, but the result has been practically to put- California prunes cut of business for the present. The enly consolation in this is the fact that If they are sold for what they are Oregon prunes it should do Oregon a great deal of good. "What has been the cause of the low prices? There are seeral causes. Trade is freaky, and for some reason that the wisest traders do "not attempt to explain, there has been throughout the Winter a decided indifference to dried fruit and to prunes more than any thing else. We may not like to admit it, but the consumptive demand has not been up to the average. The unstable quotations has been the entire cause. There has not been a day since the first cut was made on Oregon prunes last Fall when the buyer has Telt safe to take on more than sufficient for his Immediate wants. I believe the efforts of our association to maintain a stable basis price at a reasonable value is appreciated by the buyer, and, if euth a thing Is possible, the buyer would welcome, as much as tho grower, any plan that would fix" a reason able stable price, which would govern upon ihls product. A price that would give handlers, os wUl a& producers, a fair return for their CffTt Another reason is the poor quality of cur ing and packing of many Oregon prunes. Im press, if ou can, indelibly on the mind of every Oregon grower the necessity of drying Oregon prunes perfectly dry. We must get away forecr from the Idea of half-drjing and de pending upon the process to equalize them. Every prune should be thoroughly cured through to the pit. We have been injured in estimably by the reports m the East that great quantities of Oregon prunes were spoil ing in the bins. This report, of course, was greatly exaggerated, but the experience of past years leads buyers to take it more seri ously than it de-en es. Oregon prunes will keep as long as any prune in the world, if they are properly cured and properly packed." Italian . French Prunes. Tho California Fruit Grower, of a recent date, denies that there is any competition between Oregon and California prunes. That paper Eaye: "There is an impression, both in California nnd in the Northwest, that the Oregon prune competes largely with Call torn las. and vice versa. This is a mistake, and if understood and taken into consideration by growers and e.hlrpers in Oregon and Washington, would prove a distinct benefit. There are. of course. orr.e few French prunes grown In Oregon, and these appeal to the same taste and trade a the California French prune, but by far the greater part of the prunes grown in the N-Tthwcst are of the Italian variety, and ere tart or acid in fla.or. whereas the French 1 rune is sweet, end, while prunes may be j runes to some people, tho great difference In flavor and taste between the sweet French rune and the tart Italian is such that those who prefer the one do not care for the ether, the choice depending almost cnUrely on the taste of the eater. The Italian prune comes more nearly Into crrnpetltlon with the cured apricot than it docs with the sweot French prune. Oregon lta'lans sell well In German communities, the ai'd flaior appealing easily to the German taste. Now. with this understanding ot the f-'tuation. it would appear that Oregon Ital ians would do much better if marketed as .h and on their own account,- in markets c'ab.ls-hed for that particular prune, than to cr the general competition with the Cali i"rra French prune."

Stock Trading at New York Verges on Stagnation Dissatisfaction With Iron and Steel Outlook. NEW YORK, May 7. Today dealings re vealed a condition of neglect In the stock mar ket fully equal to that which prevailed before the Northern Securities decision was handed down, and has not been equaled for many years previously. Many of the most prominent stocks in the list were not quoted at all until near the close of the market, and then were only dealt in In single lots of 100 ehares. Prices sank from pure stagnation, and no regard was paid to any news. The bank statement Itself was of only nominal effect, as the large changes ahown in the various items were pret ty accurately foreseen- The statement showa a rather pronounced process of depletion of the plethoric condition of money, both in the cash" reduction through the gold exports and by loan expansion. The lodgment of capital thus effected, as in the New York City bond issue this week and the Japanese loan to come, gives some relief from the Idleness of large amounts of capital which has shown signs of some pressure for outlet In the railroad bond market. The feature of tho financial" markets this week has been the abundance and cheapness of money, and the neglect, verging on stagnation, of the market for securities. Intermittent ad vances and declines from day io day have not been sufficient to carry the level of prices as much as a point away from last week's level at any time except for a few stocks. The effect has been so discouraging to operators that even the professional traders have almost abandoned their efforts. The extreme ease which has developed In the world's money markets since the Panama Ca nal payment first came up for consideration has prevented any disturbance. The placing of the New York City bond issue, the largest single block ever offered by the city, was equally without disturbing effect on the mar ket. This operation was regarded as encour aging for the securities market, by reason of the evidence afforded of abundance of available -capital. In spite of the stagnant demand for railroad and other bonds and securities. The Jssue price of these bonds was low compared with the older issues, but the advance in the price over the preceding issue was regarded aa indicating a turn for the better in the outlook for Investment demand. The placing of half of the $50,000,000 Japa nese loan in New York is taken as evidence in the same direction, and the details of the Russian lean in Paris define another of the uncertainties before the financial world. Re ceipts of Japanese gold continue to relieve the drain on gold exports to Paris, and currency from the interior continues to accumulate In New York banks. This evidence of declining business activity Is an important factor in causing the halt in the securities market. Dissatisfaction with Ifie Iron and steel trade outlook is an important Influence on the pre vailing dullness and hesitation of speculation. Railroad earnings, both gross and net, reflect the falling off in traffic from last ear's level and the high level at which operating expenses remain. The strike of machinists on the Atch ison system had some slight sentimental effect. The formal statement by E. H. Harrlman of his hopeful view 3 of the business and indus trial outlook in the West and Southwest had a sustaining Influence in the market, but Its effect seemed to pass quickly. The season of the making of the crops gives the dally ad vices from the crop region an important in fluence in the stock market. The crop news ha a not proved stimulating to prices. The tone of the bond market has been rather better than stocks, but no large Investment de mand has shown, and weakness in some of the speculative issues has unsettled the market. United States 3s, registered, have declined U. the 3s coupon, the 2s and the old 4s 4, and the new 4s, "& per cent on call during the week. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Sales. High. Low. Close.

The Financier says: The striking features of the statement of the New York associated banks last w'eek were stilly higher and most remarkable rec ords fot loans and "deposits, also an unusually large 1'eduction lh surplus reserve. Loans were expanded $21,393,200, reflecting, as 'in pre vious Weeks, extensive corporation find syndi cate borrowing. The cash holdings of these banks were reduced by $6,083,800, which re duction closely corresponds with the aver age losses resulting from the movement of gold to Europe during the fortnight, less the average of the amount of Japanese gold which was transferred hither from San Fran cisco last week. Deposits were Increased by $17,345,000. which amount is $2,035,000 greater than the sum of increase in loans, less the decrease In cash. The required reserve was "augmented through the increase in deposits by $4,830,250. which sum, added to the loss of cash, makes $10,420,056 as the increase In surplus reserve to $22,724,200. Computed upon the basis of deposits, less those of $56,097,400 public funds, the surplus Is $36,748,550. The dally averages of clearings were $216, 000,000. or $33,000,000 greater than In the previous week, reflecting operations Incident to the expansion of loans. It may be noted that that portion of the Panama money which was withdrawn from the depositary banks throughout the country under the Treasury call of March 3, will be turned over to the Sub-Treasury Monday by the Government. This, however, will probably not directly af fect the $32,000,000 of public funds In the 10 specifically designated depositaries for trans fer, as it will moat likely be conducted by a bookkeeping operation.

EXPECT BULLISH REPORT. Shorts Cover Freely In Chicago Wheat Pit " Yesterday. CHICAGO, May 7. A fair degree of firm ness was displayed at the opening in wheat, the July delivery being up a shade, to c, at 83c to 864c The market still felt the effects of yesterday's extremely bullish crop reports, but the main element of strength was undoubtedly heavy rains in the Red River Valley, which would delay stlil longer the already backward seeding operations. On the small initial advance, local lohgs took profits, and In consequence the market de veloped an easier tone. There were plentiful rains throughout the Winter wheat country, the effect of Which was to encourage sales for short accounts. Prices held about steady until Ute in the session, when renewed profit taking carried July down to 85c Shorts cov ered quite freely on expectations ot a bull ish Government crop report Tuesday. As a result, part of the loss was regained. The market closed steady with July at 86686c The easier tone in the wheat market had a depressing effect on corn prices, but there was sufficient support from- pit traders to prevent any loss. The close was steady, with prices at about the best figures of the day. July opened unchanged to a shade higher fit 48c to 48c, sold down to 48c and 4S4c closlns at the top. Selling of the July option by pit traders ud der the leadership of a prominent iong caused k small decline in oats. After opening un changed to Ue lower at 3Sc to 38c. July sold between 384 and 38c, closing at 38K 3Sc The feature of trading in provisions was the selling of July lard by a leading packer. The market was poorly supported, and in conse quence the entire list showed a slight de cline.
