OLDING OF PRUNES
Prominent Grower's Advice
to Oregon Farmers.
EARLY MARKETING OF FRUIT
Direct Cause of Present Depression
in Prices-Business Methods of
Today as Compared With
Five Years Ago.
The Oregonlan has received the following
communication Irom an extensive prunegrower
at Liberty. Marlon County:
The habit of throwing the crop on the mar-
Iff flat nvtn rta imA la tA aa ..... !
unfavorable condition of the prune "market this
season Five years ago, when we had no pack-lng-hputes
in the Northwest, our fruit was
thinned in hairs and Tiroeess-d and tia1ca1 iv
I a, the wholesale merchants in their large ware-
was some foundation for the logic that early
sales were the best. Large houses In the East
bought In the Fall as manv earn as thpv pist!-
L mated their trade would take, and while they
were buj ing was considered a good time to eelL
A great change has come about In the man
ner of buying but the mind of the grower is
Still holdlmr on thp Mmi rnrr-pil niiro nf hlu
y "logic 'that "early sales are always best."
vvnoiesaie nouses in the East, knowing that
they can buy dried fruit uhder a well-established
brand, packed on the Coast, as required,
no longer see the need of making early pur
chases In large quantities. Independent bro
kers ar.d speculators have been quick to see
the situation and take advantage of the irrnw-
l ers prejudices In favor of early sales. It Is a
ujg game wese so-canea "middle men" are
playing, and. In view of the shortage of the
"world's suunlv of fruit and better nrl-oa tnr-
!j cured fruits later In the season, the game has
been well "worth the candle ' anl thnv Viava
played It hard.
A prominent wholesale dealer in one of our
Eastern cities writes: "We are Inclined to
think that some of your growers In Oregon
were stampeded Into making the lower prices
which have been ruling recently, and In our
opinion it was wholly unnecstary. "We ques
tion ii mere nave been any more prunes sold
ux we low prices which have been ruling dur
ing the last ten days than there would have
leen sold had prices been maintained. The
consumption of prunes is still light. The de
mand from the retailers this year has not been
as good as formerly, but we are strongly of
the opinion that we will all see a very much
better demand for rirune afinr .Ts-imrv i in
coming year than we did have after January 1
mis year. ne iruit crop tnroughout the en
tire East is not as large this year as It was
last year, and it Is going to result In a much
larger demand, we believe for dried fruits."
"We do not believe this lamentable stampede,
with its disastrous effects, can proceed much
further, as nearly all the fruit not now con
trolled by the associations and the larger grow
ers has passed Into the hands of local buyers
and speculators, who are holding for better
prices.
Let the growers consider for a day the un
businesslike habit Of trvintr to market n. vnni't
supply of any staple commodity within 30 days.
Growers of wheat store their eron If nnt Rati.
fled with prices Offered at harrwst tlm rnt.
tlemen keep their stock until portions of their
herds can be marketed -with profit. We mean
h oo no vaoience to the intelligence of cattle
men when we say suDDose tho !da thnt ".nrir
r sales were always best" should take hold of
their minds as It has fastened upon the minds
of prunegrowers, and they should stubbornly
determine to offer all the calves f th-ir iiri.
I, for sale the day they were fivo weeks old.
riitea jur vcai wouia ruj jow. suppose, fur
ther, that all the calves that under ordinary
circumstances would supply a year's demand
t for bf were dropped during the 30 days that
the prune trees drop their prunes, and the en
tire drop was forced "uDon Ihe nurtut tnr- --.-
ber and November delivery, prices for veal
-wouia go aown to a level with that at which
the buyers tell the growers they cannot sell
tneir prunes today.
Tho feeding of swine would be no longer
profitable, even at the wages paid the prodigal
son, ana au me Doys wno naa wandered away
and all the hasty sellers of the products qf
their orchards In violation of tho tims-h- -.
i Justed laws of trade would have no longer ex-
b-uae lo euiy away, ine lormer irom nis rather s
bouse, where veal is abundant, and tho latter
from the Idea of selling all our prunes through
growers' associations under a central telling
agency. "We will cither be obliged to relinquish
the old idea that "early sales are always best"
' or go out of business as purnegrowers. All
the members of the Association of Prunegrow
ers in this district favor holding the crop until
we nave a cnanco to do better on the markets
of the new. All are mutually Interested In
tne maintenance or pncos. Liet every grower
refuse to cell until he can set a fair erica for
his product. L. M. GILBERT.
No Prunes Selling at Dundee.
DUNDEE, Or.. Nov. 13. (Special.) Few
yuneB havo changed hands here. The growers
continue holding for a price such as is war
ranted by supply and demand. Cut-rate Job-
liers have made raids on this district without
eecuring a prune, their efforts to depress
L growers having so far failed.
Eoguo River Trait Shipments.
MEDFORD. Or., Nov. 13. (Special.) The
Rogue River Fruitgrowers Union shipped six
carloads of fruit, five cars of prunes and ono
ct Newtown pippin apples to Eastern markets
this week. The union has bad a very pros
perous season, and shipped all its fruit, with
the exceptions of Ben Davis and Wlnesap ap
ples, which will probably be shipped out within
tie next few weeks.
Olwell Bros, shipped six cars of Newtown
ylppla apples and several of Bpltzenberg apples
to New lork this week.
Angora Goats Shipped South.
MONMOUTH, Or., Nov. 13. (Special).
IC T. Boothby left yesterday with a choice
Jot of well-bred Angora goats for Crescent
City, Cal. The car consisted of 103 nannies
end a registered buck. Tho latter was se
lected from tho herd of William Rlddell,
trho Is one of the most careful breeders in
Oregon. Tho stock was well selected and
represents some of tho best blood in the
etate. .
Independence Hop Sales.
INDEPENDENCE, Nov. 13. (Special.) A
jrumber of hop sales wore made hore this
week. The price for which the hops twer
Iold. was 22 i cents In most all cases.
PORTLAND MARKETS.
Grain, Flour, Feed. Etc
"Wheat is extremely dull. Probably at no
time snce the reason opened has so little grain
changed hands as in the past few days. The
drop In price has had the effect of tying up
th"e interior markets almost completely. Club
wheat is quotablo at 71c, and bluestem at 75c

SENT TO HIGHER LEVEL
STOCKS ADVANCE ON COVERING
BY SHORTS.
Failure of Organized Bear Party to
Depress Prlces-Their Attention
Was Turned to St. Paul.
NEW TORK, Nov. 13. A movement to cover
shorts among tho professional traders devel
oped In the late stock market today and car
ried prices to a level substantially over last
night. This was after the failure of an at
tempt on the part of an organized bear party
to depress prices to a lower leveL
The acUvlty of this parly has been very ap
parent all through the week's decline, but they
found themselves practically alone in selling
stocks today. Their plan of operations seemed
to be a kind of rotation of stocks. Having sold
United States Steel preferred and Pennsylvania
as far down as within their power, they picked
out St Paul as the next leading stock upon
which to center operations. The result was an
extreme decline In St. Paul of 1. The rest
of the market was very little affected in sym
pathy. As a result of the late -covering move
ment, St. Paul recovered all of Its loss, and
tho most prominent" active stocks gained be
tween x una j poinis. I'ennsyivania especially
was Inclined to rally from its recent severe de
pression. Today's gain for Pennsylvania Is 2
full points. United States Steel preferred com
pletely lost Its recent prominence In the trad
ing, and fell well down la th list of active
stocks, though it shared well in the day's
strength.. The buying seemed confined to pro
fessional sources, and there was no evidence
of any large Investment demand. Neither was
there any news to account fully for the ad
vance In pjlces.
Tho forecast of the week's currency move
ment Indicated a marked falling off In the in
ferior demand, and New Tork exchange at Chi
cago recovered sharply. The Subtreasury oper
aUons, which Include transfers of currency
through that Institution, have taken from the
banks during the week $3,065,000. The week
In the stock market warrants an inference that
the loan account of tho banks has undergone
some contraction.
Reports that the railroads would concede a
reduction on exirt freight rates for steel prod
ucts may have strengthened United States Steel
preferred, although this news Is Indicative of
the general process of contraction In trade The
market closed dull, but decidedly strong.
Bonds were rather dull, but firm. Total sales,
par value, were $1,807,000. United States bonds
were unchanged on the last call.

UPTURN IN WHEAT.
Change for tho Better la tho Chlcajjo
Pit.
CHICAGO, Nov. 13. In spite of the rather
bearish character of the news In general, an
Inclination was shown among local traders to
buy wheat In the hope of an upturn after eo
long a period of depression, and as a result of
this Improved demand, a Arm undertone per
vaded the pit. December opened unchanged to
o higher, at 7670c Offerings were light
early in the day, and further advances were
made. During the latter half of tho session
there was a big demand for May from a house
with St. Louis connections, and the strength of
this delivery helped the December option. The
cash business was also reported as showing an
Improvement, and with a good export demand
the market became strong during the last half
hour, with closing prices at the top. Decem
ber Closed Tic hlffher. at 7AU-
If The situation in the corn pit was similar to
mai in wneat. ana with a fair demand from
commission houses, with covering by shorts
the market showed good gains. December closed
fiic higher, at 42S42c
Oats were given over to active covering by
shorts. The close was strong, with December
up c at SZHc
Provisions were firm, under the leadership of
lard, which was said to be In good demand for
export shipment. The hog market was weak,
but an improved cash demand with liberal
covering by shorts counterbalanced this bear
factor. January pork closed 7c higher, lard
was up 15c, while ribs were 1012c higher.

SIGNS N9T ALL BAD
Some Encouraging Features
in General Trade,
DEALERS NOT OVERSTOCKED
Splendid Profits of Agriculture Put
Large Sums of Money in Circu
lation and Provide a Mar
ket for Commodities.
NEW YORK, Nov. 13. Bradstreefs tomor
row will say:'
Quietness governs general trade and Industry",
but the prevailing pessimism cannot hide the
fact that some really encouraging signs are
visible. Taken as a whole, general business
this week Is rather larger, due to the expan
sion In retail trade at the Northwest, where It
Is favored by cooler, settled weather, and at
the South, where an enormous quantity of cot
ton Js being marketed at excellent prices.
Wholesale trade is fitlll quiet as a whole, await
ing developments in price and demand. Exports
of leading products aggregate the second largest
total ever recorded la October.
A fact that has not been given full weight is
that there Is nowhere such great accumulations
of stocks as threaten a sacrifice of values. In
deed, buying has been conservative for some
time past.
Chief among the depressing features brought
to light this -week are the reports that finished
steel products havd been cut, that wages .of
Iron and steel and cotton mill employes must
come down, and that some new strikes, notably
a general shutdown of Colorado .coal mines,
are menacing Far W'estern'roanufacturlng and
railway activity. On the other hand, the fact
might be as well faced that high prices have
checked demand, that manufacturers of iron
and steel believe that the demand can be re
vived If price concessions are made, and that
the wage reductlops are calculated to render
this policy more effectual, notwithstanding a
decrease In earnings and consumptive power
results temporarily.
The lumber market is Irregular. Building
activity Is favored by the late Fall.
Wheat, including flour, exports for the week
ending November 12, aggregate 3,659.823 bush
els, against 1,340,281 bushels last week, and
8,440,160 bushels this week last year. Com ex
ports for the week aggregate 1.6S8.2S2 bushels,
against 1,439,933 bushels last week and 231,901
bushels a year age
Business failures In the United Statu for
the week ending with November 12 number 210,
against 200 last week, and 201 In the like week
of 1902. In Canada, failures for the week num
ber 13, as against 19 last week and 10 In this
week a year ago.

" RENEWED CONSERVATISJr.
Week Marked by Somewhat Unsettled
Peeling.
NEW YORK, Nov. 13. Special telegrams
regarding the state of trade, from correspond
ents of the International Mercantile Agency
throughout the United States and Dominion of
Canada are summarised as follows:
The week has been marked by a somewhat
unsettled fellng and renewed conservatism In
commercial circles. Distribution of staples Is
smaller than a week ago at Chicago, and ma
terially so at Pittsburg, where Industrial ac
tivity has improved, except for millinery. Cool
er weather has Improved trade In New England,
except for Jobbers, where the season is ended!
Warm weather has dulled demand at Baltimore
and at Louisville.
Collections are rather slow In territory tribu
tary to St. Paul, but in the cotton regions they
are growing easier. Plowmakers report a good
business, but moderate collections. Kentucky
has a medium, tobacco crop, but prices are bet
ter than last year. Philadelphia merchants
say trade In staples Is smaller. October lum
ber shipments from Minneapolis were the
largest of any month this year.
Encouragement Is felt at the new policy of
the steel trust. Consumers will no longer have
to go abroad for steel. Ten thousand tons of
rails have been sold to go to China. More
mills are opening and some are closing tem
porarily. Colorado's coal strike offsets the
settlement of Montana's copper war. Fall
itivers wage cui was noi aitogctner unexpect- I
ed. Makers of prints have been losing money I
at late prices for material and rate of wages.
But high cotton is making foreign exchange
fast, now that Europo Is demanding all It can
get regardless of price the most significant
financial feature of tho week, with cotton, not
steel, as king,.
Tight money has checked the rising demand
for bonds, but shrewd people are making large
Investments at bottom prices. Trade conditions
at Montreal are about the average, and de
mand for seasonable goods Is fair. Mild weath
er at Toronto has checked the distribution, hut
dealers report the beginning of holiday trade
In fancy goods and Jewelry. Canadian lumber
will be less this year than last, owing to
scarcity of labor. Canadian banks are loaning
money in the United States, which makes it
more difficult to secure funds here.
STAPLE PRICES HIGHER.
Wage Adjustments and Warm Weather Do
Not Help Trade.
NEW YORK. Nov. 13. R. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly report of trade will say tomorrow:
Readjustment of wages and abnormally warm
weather are not calculated to stimulate the
distribution of merchandise, especially wearing
apparel and fuel. Several other staple lines
are quiet, as Is usual at this season, yet the
splendid profits of agricultural communities
cannot fall to put large sums of money In cir
culation and provide a market for commodities.
Prices of all staples were slightly higher No
vember 1 than In the month past, but In the
past two weeks the level has fallen somewhat.
Settlements of labor disputes 'In lithographing
and several minor industries are offset by new
struggles In the .building trades, street-car lines
and coal mines, while the cut In wages of
Ironworkers and spinners may result In strikes.
A special event was the resumption of work at
the coke ovens. Railway earnings for the first
week of November were 4.S per cent larger
than last year.
After the shock of new prices was over, the
Iron and steel markets became moro active.
There Is more satisfaction expressed than otn
erwlse over the lower figures, since they are
calculated to stimulate activity.
Hides are steady, with a firmer tone.
Failures this week numbered 283 In the
United States against 241 last year,-and 27 In
Canada, compared with 24 a year ago.
STRUCK A FIRM MARKET.
Oregon Potatoes Fared Well at San
Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 13. (Special.) Tho
better grades of 2000 sacks of Oregon potatoes,
brought here by the steamer Elder, came upon
a firm market and sold readily. Strictly fancy
Burbanks brought $1.10gl.l5 and fair to choice,
85c$l. Poor stock was slow of sale down to
65c The potato market generally Is In good
shape, with stocks firmly held on account of
continued rain, which Is likely to lessen re
ceipts. The demand is chiefly local, as high
freight rates and low prices In the West pre
vent much of an outward movement. The
market for sweet potatoes Is overstocked and
quoted lower.
Supplies of onions are light, and fancy have
advanced squarely to $1. Poor stock Is neg
lected. Despite the rain, the grain market was
better sustained,, shorts being the principal buy
era in the local pit. owing to higher Eastern
prices. Rain has greatly Improved agricultural
prospects In Northern and Central California,
but little has fallen In the South.
Inclement weather caused dullness In the
fruit trad, and prices had no Important
change. Rain has stopped orange picking In
the northern citrus belt, and recolpts are light.
Hops are In good demand and firm.
