DRIED PRUNE INDUSTRY IN BAD CONDITION CORVALUS, Ore., Mar. 9 VP The dried prune Industry of the Pacific Northwest is facing a serious prob lem in marketing Its remaining stocks advantageously, said a review issued by the O. S. O. extension service and the U. 8. D. A. bureau of agricultural economics. ' - . The serious disruption of foreign trade is probably the chief difficulty, the report said. Heavy storage hold ings and the low prices of -Cali fornia dried prunes and of competi tive dried fruit along the Pacific coast are other factors causing low prune prices. Mid-March prices on all grades of Italian prunes at Northwest mar kets were down from 1 to 2 cents a pound compared with the Dec. 1 price. The greatest activity In the Ore gon prune market has been In Doug las county where a limited volume of date prunes were sold at prices slight below Italians and Petites. The Northwest "price ranges to growers on Italian prunes at the mid-month were: 35-408, 2',3 2c; 40-45s, 22c; 45-503, 11C.
