IS I HE MOILING O KEG 021 AN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1903. THEIR VIEWS' APART Prune Growers and Buyers Cannot Come to Terms. RESULT IS LACK OF BUSINESS Disposition Sho-tro to Speculate In TIiIk Frnit as In Former Years Local Produce and Jobbing Qnotntlons. Tie prune market has not opeend as early this year as It did la former years. "Where orders were booked for ten cars last year, one car Is -wanted now. The reluctance of buy ers to lake hold is duo to the fact that, for several reasons, they have ceased to speculate. The principal reason is, of course, the wide divergence between th views of buyers and tellers, common to the beginning of the sea cm. Buyers are also holding off because so many California; prunes of the last crop were carried over in the East and held on consign ment until late In the Spring, and even into the Summon In" former years, speculators have bought heavily of California dried ,f rults, anticipating a shortage or similar trouble, whiih failed to materialize. Thla year that class of purchasers Is practically out of the market, California advices saying that Eastern buyers are not taking hold. For the same rea son the-e Is no inquiry to speak of for Ore iron prunes, and no business of Importance can be looked for until the grower and the East ern buyer get near the same Idea as to prune values. In the trade It Is believed that the indications point to a lower opening price than last year. It Is estimated that the Northwestern prune crop "Will be 25 per cent heavier than that of 1002. The Italian prune territory Is expect ed to produce about 1300 cars, or between 4, 000,000 anl 4.500.O0O pounds. Crops are in gooJ condition, this weather being the best j-ossrble for the fruit, as it fills them with sugar and makes them heavy. About threc fcurths of the crop will run between 40s and 70s. Some orchards will have quite a number of S0f-40s, but on account of the trees being so full, most of the orchards in the vicinity of Portland will run from 40s to 60s. Some few growers In Clark County are drying this week, and next week most of the dryers will be running to their full capacity. Idaho Crop Report. The Idaho weekly crop bulletin says in part: Except over limited areas, harvest of small grain Is complete, and In many localities the, crop has been threshed; however, much of the grain Is still In the shock, and therefore sus ceptible to Injury from the rain, but with drjlng weather during the coming week, the damage will be reduced to a minimum. Yields of grain are very uneven, but the general re sult will be about average, i Cutting of the second crop of alfalfa In the more elevated districts, and of the third crop la southwestern valleys has been sus pended owing to the rain; there are largo "quantities of hay still in the fields and hls hay will be somewhat discolored as a result of the wet weather; reports Indicate generally satisfactory results from the third cutting. flie rain has been of incalculable benefit to ranees and to Fall pastures. ' The heavy frosts caused some damage to standing alfalfa, but this was confined to tne most elevated localities. Sugar beets arc in good condition, there Is some complaint of potato rot in Kootenai County, due to wet weather. PORTLAND' MARKETS. Grain. Flour. Feed, Etc.

While It is under stood by producers that more pig Iron is being purchased at present than at any other time since early in the Spring, the demand. according to the Iron Age, Is not sufficient to take up the slack completely. Consump tion Is large, but production Is larger. "While Uie consumption may be at tho rate of 10,000,. 000 tons per annum, the production la run ning larger than this, and therefore producers are competing actively for current business. The most Important development of the week has been the renewed effort put forth by Southern pig Iron producers to secure a larger share or the iraae oi .eastern xounorymen. A tpeclal price has been named to Eastern buyers in the hope that this might induce them to make larger purchases of Southern iron. As far as can be learned, it has not led to any considerable business. A fact which militates against the placing of much Eastern business, with Southern producers Js the urgency with which buyers desire their Iron delivered. A large block of Canadian billets has just been sold for delivery at a New England point at a shade under $26, and some ot the domes tic billet-makers' who are not members of the pool are assuming prices which are under the schedule It hardly seems likely that these matters will be completely overlooked at Thursday's meeting o ftho pool. Inquiries for billets are reported to be increasing and a much larger volume In business Is in pros pect. A branch of trade In which the outlook is deeldedlv nromrslnir for heavy business is the structural line. Contracts are pending which will probably be placed before the close of the month for about 100.000 tons. The wire trade Is enjoying a much mor active demand, wire nails and fencing be ing in particularly good request. The gen eral quietness of trade In some forms of fin ished steel gives rise to tbe belief that more determined efforts will be made In the near future to secure a larger share of foreign business.

Crop Situation ot Secondary Import ance Pacifies Advance on Buy ing: by Brokers. NEW YORK. Sent. 17. Interest in today's stock market, centered largely ffround the Steel Issues and certain other industrials. The crop situation, concerning which further contradictory reports came to hand, was 01 secondary importance compared with the im pression conveyed by tho further heaviness of Steel common,, which established a new low record of 1S. There was little pressure against Steel preferred, and the 5 per cent r ' : j . bonds were steady, compared day's marked weakness. with tho previous Another feature of the Industrial situation hich was not without effect, following nara uPon the early week's developments in unuea States Realty, was the showing made by the Standard Rope & Twine Company ana the late break. In Tennessee coal Under normal conditions, prices in New York probably would have shown some ad vance at the outset If only from the fact that the Bank of England's discount rate showed no advance, but persistent selling of Amerl cans by London, and the suspension of a prominent Liverpool cotton house helped to produce an Irregular .opening. Buying of standard railway shares by brokers commonly supposed to represent strong Interests, togeth er with heavy covering, turned the course of the market upward before noon. Atcnison was taken in large amounts by a "Western commission house, and some of the Pacific stocks advanced on buying by brokers that have been prominent in these Issues recently Brooklyn Transit, concerning which many ru mors were circulated, was again irregular. All of the morning's Improvement was wiped out later when trading became dull and prices once -more sagged. In the last hour, the weakness of the Industrial group became more acute. Tennessee Coal selling off four points. and Steel cammon touching the low figure 01 the day. There were material losses In Re tvtiWIo. Steel and Pressed Steel Car. The break In Tennessee Coal was not expjainea Some of the high-grade railway shares partici rated In the decline, which was followed by a rally. In ihe course of which prices recov ercd to a level approaching yesterday s close, Steel common made a net decline of per n(. and th nreferred was unchanged. The market closed steady. It developed after the close of the market that much of the selling of Tennessee Coal came from Philadelphia houses, and was said o be on adverse flnan cial renorts. London's eale6 on balances were estimated to be 20.000 shares. A feature of the day was the sale of 100 shares of unuea States Shipbuilding at $1 per share, The subtreasunr made another shipment or $100,000 to New Orleans, In addition to which further direct shipments "West and soutnwest were reported. The banks have thus far lost about $3j000,000 as against a gain of $1,460,- 000 in the same period last .week.
