THE MORNING, GREGORIAN. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1903. lb TOO MANY PRUNES Demoralization in the" Cured Fruit Market. THE OUTLOOK IS NOT BRIGHT In the Trade, Lower Prices Looked ForLocal Produce and Job bing Quotations Live stock Market. A leading prune Jobber, discussing the demor alised eentfttten ef the market, thus describes the situation; "The prune markot Is fn very bad straits, ow.ng to overproduction and the large hold over stock in California. The market In the Cast in the poet "30 days has receded &c, and the Indications point to lower prices. Notwith standing reports to the contrary, the wise ones who ioM early in the 'season have come out ahead. In the face of tho large holdings in Clark Count' and other sections, and the fact Cvat .prunes are being consigned, buyers have become exceedingly timid. The market for evaporated apples and peaches Is depressed in sympathy with prunes. The closing down of lartorles In the East and the curtailment of lobar have a tendency to demoralize the trade. "The bat effects of consigning prunes to the East was sltewn some three years ago, when Oregoniaa Italians in the Bast were offering In the month of January at a lower figure than In the Portland market. It Is about time that the Kroner otuxiid know that he can command . teller price tn the early part of the season than at any ether time. The association at 1ii.-ouvr is reported te be holding from S00 t -ww torn of prunes, and as they must be jarkcled in the very near future, the outlook certain!) is not "bright. Results of combina-ti-Xit in OUtferala have proved that assocla T,as caasot make a market." Hops Shipped Eabt. ALBANY. Or.. Nov. 12.

Monthly blast fur nace statistics indicate clearly how rapidly the manufacturer? of pig Iron are adjusting them selves to changed conditions, says the Iron Age. The greater part of the decline, about 80,000 tons per week since October -1. Is due to the Central West. The South, however. Is driving ahead at a pretty full rate, and Is crowding the markets with offers considerably below the prices of competing districts. Interest has shifted from the crude iron In dustry to the finished product. and here-.somewhat extraordinary developments have taken place. V.'e have the spectacle of certain lines being reduced sharply, while prices have been reafflrmod In others, under considerations which seom Identical on the surface. In steel bars there has been a reduction of $0 per net ton. forced apparently by the long lead which Iron bars have held for some Ume. In hoops and bands there has been a reduction of $5 to $0 per net ton. and in tin 'plate a reduction from $3.80 per box at mill to $3.60 has Just been announced. It is quite evident that in these branches the manufacturers have started out to find the level at which consumers will take hold with the evident conviction that a good deal of de sirable tonnage Is being held back. In other branches, after a good deal of dis cussion, radically different opinions seemed to have prevailed. This is notably true of steel plates and structural shapes. The point Is maae mat prices were kept down during tho boom, and the decline in raw materials has really brought them back to harmony with the old prices on finished materiaL To tho Indus- tn at lari-A tho i.aI.i. ... - - ---- -"- -vw,M uicaua nx least some, tlon? n0t InUCh reslctl0 of consumpl Mining Stocks. ,iP7 r,n Xov- J2-3ntar stocks today closed as follows: Adams riniTn.i- m...

IN United Stajes Steel Preferred Is Also Depressed-Railroad List Affected by Unfavorable News. NEW YORK, Nov. 12. Pennsylvania and United States Steel preferred again divided attention and a good degree of Influence In today's stock market. The dealings, however, were not tn such overwhelming proportions In either stock as for the lost several days. Pennsylvania was weak from the outset, but showed stubborn resistance in tho neighbor hood of 112. The price rallied again and again from that .figure or slightly below it. Its va rious rallies did not carry It quite back to last night's price. The contest In support of ths stock seemed to be abandoned after enormous absorption, and the price was carried to U0i. with a rally at the close to llltt. The efforts to support the stock were aided at first by the strength shown by United States Steel pre ferred and by the second United States Steel bonds. It was common belief that a very largo short Interest was being covered In Steel pre ferred. A rumor was circulated that sone $15,000,000 of the sinking fund bonds had been taken for Investment by one of the wealthiest and most conservative of tho Insurance com panies. This report was denied. There were rumors also that tho prices of steel plates and of structural steel would bo cut In spite or the announced decision to the contrary. United State Steel preferred yielded Its gain because of theseu later developments, and left Pennsyl vania more vulnerable to the attacks. Nothing additional became known to throw light on the large liquidation In that stock, but u was easily evident that a well-organized bear party played a large part in the opera tions In the stock. Other coalers, both anthra cite and bituminous, showed the closest sym pathy with the movement. The announced cut in the price of soft coal was accepted as one of the motives of the selling. Tho report of a decision by a Pennsylvania court against the binding legal force of tho holdings of the an thracite strike commission also hurt tho coal ers. Tho general tone of sentiment In specu lative circles became somewhat discouraged as the railroad list cave way here and there. The outlook In the labor world -was regarded as threatening, and reports of rioting In con nection with the Chicago street railway strike emphasized the feeling. There was also the report of a cut of 10 points In wages at Fall River, which had Us' effect In the cotton mar ket, as well as In the stock market. The re ported intention of the United States Steel Corporation to retrench their outlay for wages $15,000,000, or 10 per cent, and tho serious situation growing out of the coal strike In Colorado, were added factors In shaping senti ment on this subject. The show of strength in Sugar was due to hopes of benefit from a Cuban reciprocity treaty. Amalgamated Copper was another strong feature without explana- tlon. Additional engagements of $2,000,000 In gold for shipment to New York became known, part of which! already on the way, but not announced before. 'I he rate for sterling re covered somewhat in response to tho gold en gagements. The Bank of England refrained from advancing its discount rate,, eo that a further Inward flow of gold is still likely. The stock market closed about steady, but not much above the lowest. Total sales of bonds, par value, were $3,100,000. United States 2s declined per cent, and the 3s and old 4s, M per cent on the .call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Sales. High. Low. Close.

Ex-Surveyor-General of Arizona Ac quitted by the Court. PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 12. The case of Hugh H. Price, on trial for alleged bri bery In mining patents, has been dis missed upon instructions o the court to the Jury to acnult because thf p.virtenrp presented was not consistent with the in- ' f11ptmfnt Tho sacn T..I11 i. .aa-...a,i . .-. .-. a... wc.ji. mil u& &CXC&ACU iu the next grand jury. The difference be tween the Indictment and evidence was that the latter did not show that money had been paid previous to the perform ance of work, but subsequently, if paid at all. The defendant was Surveyor-General of Arizona, and was removed from offlce not long ago and accused of having charged applicants for mining patents fees in ex cess of thoso provided for by law. It was an old custom of the offlce. prior and Including Price's administration, to charge extra fees to those who desired early action on filings, the offlce being behind in clerical work, and the plea beins that In order to hasten matters it was necessary b hire clerks to work out of office hours. Chief Clerk Murphy, who had been in the offlce for years, was in dicted jointly, but a severance of the case was granted. Four other -indictments are "pending against both Price and Murphy. WANT TO GIVE INDIANS UP. Wyoming Citizens Alarmed Over the Expense Trial Will Entail. CHEYENNE, "Wyo., Nov. 12. The pre liminary hearing of H. E. Crow, the Sioux chief, and Iron Shields, Red Pin, High Ball, Broken Nose.

TJ.nited States Attorney Burke leaves tomorrow morning for the scene of the hearing and will appear" for the In dians. Tho citizens of Converse County have become alarmed over the probable expense of the trial, and as it is asserted that the actual murderers of Sheriff Miller and Deputy Falkenburg Tvere killed in the fight, many of tho most prominent men of the county favor surrendering the In dians to the United States Government, and thus avoiding a trial that will prob ably bankrupt the county.
