GOOD BERRIES ARE
IN STRONG DEMAND
strawberries are tho active feature of
the fruit market just now, and tho de
mand is so strong that good berries
clean up about as fast :is they come in.
Yesterday's receipts of California
worn tho largest of tho season thus far,
and at the cluse of business dast night
there was practically nolhing left that
was at all salable. Receipts today were
.moderate nud the demand was such as
to take them about as fast as they were
unloaded on the street.
The berries now coining from Cali
fornia, says the Oregon inn, are of much
better quulity . than those of u week
ago, but in each shipment thcro is still
sumo inferior fruit. Prices have not us
yet changed materially, ther tinge being
from $1.25 to $1.75 a crate.
A few small shipments of good Ore
gou berries have come in, but tho bulk
of the receipts so far showed up very
poorly on arrival. Next week, if the
weather is favorable, t here will be
' larger offerings of good fruit from The
Hallos and Southern Oregon points. At
present homegrown berries am quoted
at ID to V2i cents a pound.
Receipts of cherries from California
thus far have been very light, but siif
flcicut for the demand, which is never
strong tit this time of the year. Offer
b'Jii of fair quality are held at $1 to
$1.50 a box.
In the apple market the end of the
season is not far away. The demand
for tho staple fruit is steady and prices
lire about the same as for 1 wo months
past, the range being $l.:!5 tit $,"1 a box.
according to quality. Stocks now on
hand are very small, especially of the
bet lor grades, and dealers say that two
weeks hence the market will be all but
bare of such fruit.
Oranges continue firm, both here nud
in the south, and tho price trend is
strongly upward, Good navels, which
are now very scarce, sell readily at
$11 .50 a box, and sweets and seedlings al
tf'.i to $.1.25. Higher prices are sure to
come as the season nears the enr. One
cur of oranges came in today.
The time of the lemon market is firm,
as for several weeks back, but no price
changes wen; announced today.

RAILROAD COMPANIES
FEAR TO RAISE RATES
CHICAGO, May to. Alarmed at the
outcry which has been raised through
out the count ry against the proposed
advance in freight rates, the eastern
railway presidents have decided to post
pone the changes until October 1, and
possibly until .la unary I, I Hull.
No official notice has been issued to
this effect, but the heads of the com
mercial organizations in 'hiengo have
been given to understand that this was
the action lakcu last Friday at a meet
ing of presidents held in New York anil
confirmed at a second meeting held
there today. The original dates set for
the operation of the advanced rates
wore July 1 for the class rates and
August I for the commodity rates.
The fact that two ten tat ive dates.
one prior lo tho national election ami
oae subsequent to it, are now given,
leads to the conclusion in some quar
ters that the movement toward greater
freight rates has, been abandoned.

SOCIALISTS REFUSE TO MAKE
DIRECT ATTACK ON ROOSEVELT
CHICAGO, May 15. An open lottpr
addressed to President Roosevelt, HC-
erely scoring I ho president for his
alleged disparaging remarks about so
cialists in his last message to congress,
caused a livelv debate today nt the so
ialist national convention.
The trouble was precipitated by
Chairman John Spntgue, of tho commit
tee on resolutions, who, in making his
report on tht resolutions presented to
the committee, tried to omit the read
ing of the letter assailing the presi
dent, with the explanation that the
mmittcc had instructed him not to go
to the trouble of reading the document',
owing to the "preposterous statements
contained in it." Several delegates ob
jected to this procedure, protesting
against Ihe right of tho chairufaii of
the resolutions committee to decide for
them tho character of any document
they had never heard road. After a
spirited discussion n motion that the
tetter be rend was carried amid great
enthusiasm. A long debate followed the
reading of the letter.
When the final vote was taken it tip
pPiiTi'd 'fnat ii tliajoiify of the delegates
agreed with tho leaders, who held that
the letter was not proper iu touo no
iu diction to be sent from a national
convent ion to t he president of the
I'ii it ed States, and by a decisive vote
refused to sanction it.
