HOLD THEIR PRUNES
Many Growers Dissatisfied
With Prices, Will Not Sell.

FRL'IT Inepctod apples seized on
Front street.
VEGETABLES Cauliflower more

POULTRY Demand slightly better.
EGGS Steady end active.
BUTTER l-ooal situation un-
chanped.
Very few prunes are being offered In the
rcg n market by growers, and packers are
shewing the same lack of Interest in business.
It 1 elated that many growers, believing their
prunes are worth at 1-sast a cent more than,
they have ben offered for them, have deter
mined to hold their crop until next season, or
at lnet until the market Improves. Speaking
of the situation, a prominent jobber said yes
terday: "This has been an off year for the Oregon
pru negro wcr. lie need n't blame the packer
!'T the ctndlll ins and he need not blame him
self for being In the prurvgrowlr.g business.
As r matter of fact, he has been the victim
of circumstances i ver which he has no con
trol. If he hart grit and is financially able he
will see the thine throuch and trust to better
luck next time. Many growers, however, have
become disheartened and threaten to turn their
prune lands to other purposes. At the opening
of the reason -there was every promise of a
big crop of superior quality. The rain cut
down the crop fully half and the quality of
what was left Is none the best. In view of
hls, many of tho packers hrve fallen down on
their contracts and the Eastern buyers have
uteo been prejudiced ngninst the Oregon pro
duet because of the condition of the samples
sent them. This has undoubtedly diverted
much trade to California. They have a big
crop down there, but for th very reason of
the shortage here, priori in the California
market have improved. There may be a better
outlook later for Oregon prunes, but I can see
nothing In the Indications now that will war
rant urh a hope. The trade cannot buy Ore
gon prunes at t he prices linked hero now and
sell them In the East at a profit."'
The latest Issue of the California Fruit
Grower says of the prune market in that state:
The prune market is well ab! I. ihvl on a
Si'-j-cent Iihk bai'is for Santa Clara for Sum to
St. Where the proportion of Mis Is not too
mrent, these come In under the same price.
Forth s are oversold In such a number of cases
us to make the premium now iiiuaMy cent
i-v.t r's, and the former are rtrttng on the
b;itd or ;i e nti for Santa Claras, with iii's
firmer in proportion, where any can be had
at all. The ntvolute impossibility of getting
out m-ty shipments with sufficient repiiilty to
me t d-'m.inds in the Kast, offliiK t lack of
hipping facilities and box material here, and
the close ch an-up of .; t mark els Ea. on
old goods have forced the spot tsituat Ion in
many KaitiTn markets to a vry firm basis.
The fut lire of the market, after goods be;? In
to arrive, however, it Is impossible to fore
tell at this time. Under lightly supplied mar
kets In nearly evcrv other line, it wnuM seem
that fair prices should rule, providing the
hammering proctiKs is not induced in tho
minute supplies l'Rin to arrlvo in the Eut
end the dealers' Immediate demands are sup
plied. SCALY AITI.FS COXOEMNKP.
Pruit Inspector Make a Hlg Haul on Front

County Fruit Inspector T)rich yesterday con
demned f0 text's of apples on Front street

also condemned about 15 boxes of wormy
apples that he found In retail stores.
The Moeler exhibit of apples at the Hood
River fair Is to be consigned to Front street

bought by Portland retailors.
Trade In the fresh produce line was only
fair on the street. Very few peaches ore now
arriving from the country. Two cam of sweet
potatoes came In yesterday. Soma very fine
local cauliflower Is being received and cells
at $1.25. Fancy celery Is also arriving from up
the Valley.
BIO FIRM ENTFRS MARKET.
Kin be r, Wolf Jfc Netter Are Now Out for
Hops.
Conditions in the hop market yesterday
Justified the assertion made In these columns
of a strong market with every prospect of a
considerable degree nf activity In the near
future. Operations were conducted quietly and
particulars were difficult to obtain, but it is
known that a fair amount of business was
under way In tho country.
For several das past. K Inner. "Wolf &
Netter, of this city, have been in the market.
There 1 every likelihood now of market
prices being established ond growers will know
tho value of their hops according to Quality,
which has not been the case since contracting.
Chester Murphy yesterday delivered 18.000
pounds pf choice hops at H$ cents to Lachmund
& Ptncus. of Salem.

WAIT FOR ELECTION
Political Uncertainty Checks
Stock Speculation.
DAY'S TRADING VERY SMALL
Even Amalgamated Copper Is Neg
lected on the Ere of Dividend
Meeting Slight Gain In
In ion Pacl fie.
XEW YORK, Oct. 18. Operations In
stocks today were apathetic and listless.
The smaller class of room traders liad the
market almost entirely to themselves. Their
operations did not give enough motive power
for any appreciable swing to prices. Com
plaints of the lrksomeness of the state stock
transfer tax, which has been significantly
lacking during the period of wide price
movements and corresponding speculative
profits, were revived. The public showed no
interest in the market arid the absence of
any large orders, such as indicate the act- ,
Ivity of powerful financial leadership in i
the market, confirmed a conviction which is
growing in the minds of propfessional ope- j
ratora that attempts to attract public in-
terest have been abandoned for the present. ,
Some of the large commission houses under 1
heavy running expenses complained of an
entire absence of orders to execute today.
The sluggish movei?nt and the dull trad
ing in Amalgamated Copper were regarded
as typical of the whole market. It is rare
to see such neglect of this favorite me
dium, of speculation on the eve of a divi
dend meeting. The directors are scheduled
to meet on Thursday to decide the amount
of the next quarterly disbursement. Asser
tions are very confident of the intention to
put the stock on an S per cent dividend
basis, but every attempt to advance the
stock brings out free offerings. Even with
the doubt thus suggested of the dividend
action, it Is unusual for the stock to be
quiescent as at present.
Recent pressure against Union Pacific, al
though unexplained by news, is regarded as
equally significant of the disinclination of
financial Interests which control th mar
ket at times to lead a speculative movement.
Current gossip designates the period of
election uncertainty as the probable dura
tion of the quietness of the market.
The day's trading was singularly devoid
of Incident and there was no notfble change
in existing conditions. The London money
market was about steady, but the Bank of
England gave up another $500,000 in gold
for Egypt, and sterling exchange at Berlin
continued to decline. In Paris, however,
there was some recovery In the sterling ex
change ratefc The swift decline In the local
exchange market was arrested short of the
return to the gold import point. It was re
ported, however, that a shipment of $1,500,
000 in gold had started from Australia to
San Francisco. The movement of gold to
Canada, prompted by the flurry in the To
ronto banking situation, was not continued
beyond- the $.1,000,000 said to have been
shipped, although it Is suggested that gold
certificates by mail may have been shipped
to that destination. The local money mar
ket was not disturbed, but the downward
course of interest rates seemed to come to
an end.
The Influence of the reported high pres
sure of the railroad companies upon tho
railroad equipment companies to fill orders
was confined tn Pressed Steel Car in the
days'market. Union Pacific and Amalgamated
Copper finally achieved a gain of a point or
more, but the number of stocks of first im
portance that moved that much was very
small. The sales for the day were the
smallest lor any full day since early in July.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value, $2,144,000. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.

CHICAGO. Oct. 16. Sentiment in the wheat
pit was harih all day and local longs sold
steadily; Receipts in the Northwest, have ln
nreased materially during the last few days.
Weather in the Spring wheat territory is fa
vorable for the movement of the crop and re
ports from tho Southwest declare that the
conditions there are excellent. Receipts at
Kansas City wer larger and the price of cash
wheat there ivas re ported -jc lower. An in
crease of 4. 5OO.000 bushels in the world's
visible supply, which was almost twice the In
crease for the corresponding week of a year
ago, was another factor that weakened the
local market. Tho clcse was weak. Decem
ber opened SHc to He lower at 74 to 745
74c, sold at 74t&c and then declined to
73H73c, final quotations being to He
lower at 73 '&?,73c.
The corn market was steady early In the
day on active buying of December by a lead
ing ehort. Later, however, the market weak
ened along with wheat, but prices showed
slight losses. December opened a shade higher
at 42 r, sold at 42 :S. 'it 4J c and then re
acted to 42 i c, closing a shade lower at
42 U c
Oats were weak all day. Offerings were
liberal. December opened a shade lower at
33iV;e, sola oft to 33,c and closed off .o at
32VJfj32'tc.
An unexpected Increase In the receipts -of
