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.

IROX TRADE REVIEWED.
Consumption Is Not Up to 'Produc
tion.
TfEW YORK. Sept. 17. 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.

Under normal conditions, prices in New
York probably would have shown some ad

the Bank of England's discount rate showed
no advance, but persistent selling of Amerl

prominent Liverpool cotton house helped to
produce an Irregular .opening. Buying of

BETTER WEATHER CONDITIONS.
Reflected In Easiness of Chicago
Wlieat Market
CHICAGO. Sept. 17. Better weather condi
tions and the growing belief mat neitner
quantities nor qualities of tho wheat yield
have suffered appreciable loss, with lower
cables and weakness in corn, caused a weak
opening in wheat, December showing a loss
of c at 81c to 82c On top of theeo
influences came another bad break in Septem.
ber wheat at Minneapolis, and there was a
rush of Silling orders that forced December
back to 81c before the decline was checked.
Some recovery scored on Influential buying
brought abqut by a report of a big export
business In flour and an Improved cash de
mand. The close was steady, with December
off c at 8181c.
Crop damage reports from the country were
few, and the corn market opened under heavy
selling pressure. There was a show of
strength Jn the closing hour on the prospect
that frost danger Is still Imminent. Decem
ber closed steady at 52c, a loss of c
Oats were lower early, but the late tono was
strong, and tho cash demand was" good. De
cember closed c higher at 3S39c
Packing-house demand turned a weak provi
sion market to, firm and some early loss In
prices was recovered. October pork closed
15c lower; lard down 10c, and ribs 2c lower.
