13 THE MORNING DREG ONI AN, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1903. DRIED FRUIT TRADE Prunes Will Open at Last YearVPrices. LARGE CROP IN THIS STATE Ebcdtement in Peaches and Apricots Unconfirmed Rumors of Corners Already Expected Local Prod uce Quotations. The indications aro that the prune market wlH open this season at last year's prices. This is the opinion of tho local trade. There will be a big crop in all sections of the North- -west. It is difficult to say much about sizes yet, but there will probably be an abundance of 40-50s and plenty of C0-60s. with few 80-lOs. There Is not much movement In the ar ticle yet. The crop of the Northwest has been variously estimated at from 25.000.000 to 40. 000,000 pounds. In California reports are equally conflicting as to the yield, but the general opinion Is that a crop of 140.000.000 pounds will be gathered. The harvest there Is now in full blast. According to San Fran cisco advices both spot and future prunes are neglected at this time. Quotations on old prunes are largely nominal In the absence of wholesale transactions, and further, tho carry over consists of small sires and sales of these when, made are by the ton, without reference to the basis price or sires. At the moment there is a very light foreign demand. The few sales being made for export are on nine-point and prices range from 2& to 2 cents for out side and 24 to 3 cents for Santa Clara stock, October shipment. Great Interest Is taken here In other lines x dried fruit. New apricots are offering, but at much higher prices. The crop was short. compared with last year and It Is reported that all stocks are out of growers' hands. The market for peaches is equally strong. A report is current thta a combination of buy ers has bought up the greater portion of the output, but this Is doubted here. At any rate, dealers anticipate a rising market. Hoppicking; Under Way. SALEM Aug. 31. (Special.) Hopplcklng began in a large number of yards in this vi clnlty today, and before the end of the week nearly all growers will have their crews at work. "While 40 cents a box Is claimed to be the ruling price of picking, many growers are paying B0 cents. Among those paying the latter price is H. J. Ottenhelmer, who has one of the best yards In this vicinity. It seems probable that 50 cents will soon be the ruling price, but that growers will insist upon clean picking if they pay that figure.

Neither Activity Nor Firmness Lasts Through the Day Some En couraging; Features. NEW YORK, Aug. 31. There was a consid erable growth In the volume of business In stocks today and a show of strength which was quite imposing, but neither the activity nor the strength lasted the day out. The aggregate transactions rose to the l,000,000-hare mark, but the largest part of this was done In tho last two hours before noon. During the active period of the market, ad vances over Saturday of 1 to 2 points had be come quite numerous, but the last prices of the day show very few gains In excess of point. The demonstration of strength was evidently due largely to concerted action by professional traders. Uncovered bears became discouraged by the dull resistance of last week's market to any attack and the bullish traders became correspondingly encouraged 'and by professional operations drove the bears to cover. Professional sentiment was more cheer ful on account of Improved factors In the general outlook, but there was nothing to show any considerable outside demand 'for stocks. There Is no doubt that confidence over the money situation has been greatly increased since the Intimation of the readiness on the part of the Secretary of the Treasury to de posit $40,000,000 of money now In the Treas ury In depository banks. This is felt to be an effectual safeguard against a threat of violent stringency in money, and money lend ers are decidedly less exacting In their con ditions for time loans. Quoted rates are only slightly lower, but the stringent conditions which havo attached to the making of loans for some time past are relaxed. These conditions were prohibitive, except to favorite borrowers, on the part of some of the banks. The limits of the available supplies have been consider ably extended and with the present surplus reserve held by the banks, confidence Is pretty firmly established In tho ability of the money market to meet requirements upon It. Encouraging reports of railroad traffic today, last week's cheerful tone over the general trade situation by' the important mercantile agencies and the belief that a small absorp tion of securities by investors, both foreign and domestic, has been going on, had to do with the stronger feeling in the stock market. Much was made of the transfer of the holdings of tho underwriting syndicate for Metropolitan securities to other dominant interests In the property, tending to consolidate the control. Very free Inferences were drawn by tho traders from this transaction of a coming con solidation of all the traction and lighting In terests In Greater New York and in outlying territories. A considerable stimulation to the speculation was the result, but heavy realiz ing in Amalgamated Copper and the Inference drawn from that of the attitude towards the market of the controlling Interest checked the advance with the result that followed. The market became almost stagnant in the latter stages, but closed heavy. Some buying for London account, which was largo In Erie, helped the early advance. Reading hung back on account of utterances attributed to the executive head of the system pointing to an accumulation of steam size anthracite and a possible curtailment of the production In con sequence. St. Paul was the leader In the railroad list and ,enJoyed an extreme advance of 2 points. The strength in the corn mar ket and reports of unseasonable temperature had their Influences on the reaction In stocks, owing to the Importance, now placed on the outcome of the corn crop. The bond market was firmer. Total sales, par value, $1,335,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. n Atchison do preferred j Baltimore & Ohio do preferred Canadian Pacific Central of New Jersey. Chesapeake & Ohio....

New Era Xovr That the Land Bill Is Passed. NEW YORK, Aug. 3L "Ireland has crossed th& turning line Into a newer and better civilization," says ex-Lord Mayor Valentine Dillon, of Dublin, who has just arrived on his way to Pittsburg. "Only those who have lived in that land all their days, as I have done, can fully ap preciate the condition of the provinces.' "While not optimistic of Ireland's future, Mr. Dillon declares that the British gov ernment has eventually opened its ayes "And now tha.t its eyes are opened," he continued, "we actually feel better. Per sonally I've never been of an aggressive nature, but had the turning point not soon been reached Ireland would have been forced to a condition that Is anything but desirable. But the new land bill has an tlcipatcd such a crisis and the next ten years will see Ireland rid of the system by which the provinces have been Irapov erlshed. Gives Fortune to Mission Home. CHICAGO.
