LOWEST PRICES OF SEASON Keorts of CalifornlH Prune Corner Are Received With Reserve by ' Eastern Trade Wheat, Oats ' and Barley Strong. - The poultry market, which has been re in, trom bad to worae all the week, suffered .the worst slump of the season yesterday. Not only were receipts very lare, but Wi :-etallers. claiming: they were stocked bought sparingly, with the result that a rood many coops were carried over at the close of the day. Under the circumstances It was difficult to obtain accurate quotations, narlcularly on chickens. Probably most of the hens sold brought around 12 cents, but iMe "l were some dealers who would gladly hv7 cleaned up at 11 cents If they could hav i had offers. Springs and mtxad coops ol.il at the usual discount. Some lots of fr -.rs brought 14 and 15 cents. Turkeys wft a drug on the market and buyers could nf found at 15 eents. Geese also dragged but ducks, because of their scarcity, were flr-n.r. receipts of dressed poultry of all kinds err unusually large and buyers proved ln-d.n's.-mt. Taken altogether the market was In about as bad a shape as it was Just preceding Thanksgiving. Tie eicg market, while not quoted lower. wa a dragging affair and by most houses on -:ie street was considered decidedly weak. Tte large supply of country creamery but ter (ears heavily on the market and some vr) fair stock is offering as low as 80 cents aid seconds can be had at S3 cents. The r:u creameries continue apart in their vlrts. a few still holding at 37 V4 cents, cim atlons being govcrened by the present sire of their supplies. oKTariCAI, OF PRCNB CORNER RF.POBT Fartera Trade Receives California Rumor With Reserve. Regarding the alleged attempt to corner in, unsold stock or uainornia pruuw. i' ?s"-w Yr.rk Commercial of January 6. said: '.'he reports of a threatened concentration or the stocks of 1007 crop California prunes oi. the coast are received in the local trade with considerable reserve, and while it Is admitted that the total holdings are light compared with other years and larpely in the hands of the packers. It is doubted wtiether the packers as a whole would en ler into such a deal after the experience if two years ago, when a corner in apri cots and peaches was effected, and some of the principals In the deal were outwitted by competitors. The stock of prunes on the Coast Js given as not In excess of 500 carloads, of which about 0 per cent is held by the packers. Few Interests In the trade here believe the reported corner will be effected. Better Demand for Apples. Trading In the fruit line was of fair pro portions yesterday. More interest Is being shown in apptos, local supplies of which just now are low. The bulk of the cheaper grades has disappeared and buyers are turning their attention to the better varieties. Plentiful stocks are carried in storage, which have not yet been drawn upon. The street Is about bare of bananas and more will arrive before Wednesday. A, car. .of fancy oranges came In yesterday and a caryof sweet po tatoes last night. A mixed car of vegetables is due today. Southern Iron Surplus Reduced. BIRMINGHAM, Jan. 10. The surplus of pig Iron which has accumulated since Oc tober, because of the collapse of the iron market, has been reduced in the past few weeks from 00,1HM tons to less than 55.000 tons and the curtailed production will short ly be called off. Only the smaller dealers will accept orders for Iron under $13.50 per ton for No. 2 foundry. Cereals Firm and Hay Weak. The oats and barley markets though quiet, continue to show firmness, because of a somewhat better inquiry. Wheat holds steady with a moderate amount of busi ness passing. Hay is Inclined to be weaker because of larger offerings. Apples Higher at Tacoma. TACOMA, Wash., Jan. 10. (Special.) The market for home-grown apples has so Improved since the first of (the year that the Bay Island Producers' Union is able to get $1.40 a box. an advance of 15 cents for the best fruit shipped by the ranchers on the Island and mainland up Sound. The Islands are now about cleaned out of apples. Bank Clearings. Clearings of the Northwestern cities yes terday a ere a follows: Clearings.

AND REACTION SETS IN Large Gain In Cash Kxpectcd to Be Shown hy Today's Bank State ment Slump in Southern Railway Securities. NEW YORK. Jan. 10. After opening with a buoyant upshot of prices, which gave a material extension to the rise of yesterday. and then maintaining an appearance of great activity for a time, it pegan io ue manifest that the professional operators in the stock market had been tjusy taking their profits in the hurly-burly of the day's trans actions. The early market showed some ex pansion of commission-house demana aiso, attracted by the appearance of reviving in terest and a strong recovery in the market. There was little In the news of the day to Indicate marked changes in recent condi tions. The usual forecast of the weekly currency movement agreed in reporting a large cash gain, the estimates differing to some ex tent on the amount of cash from local sources which -has come into sight during the week. The inflow of cash from the in terior has been larger than last week, the balance In favor of New York on the ex press movement estimated at approximately $8,000,000. The arrivals of the last of the gold engagements have been sufficient to overbalance a small absorption on sub- treasury operations. The ' stock market rallied briskly from a sharp reaction when tnese figures appeared. The speculation m stocks during the week has been based largely on an assumption that the deficit in the legal reserves of the New York banks wouJd be practically wiped out this week. Last Saturday the deficit still stood at $11,- 509,500. so that It will be perceived that its obliteration seems to depend on a sub stantial loan reduction. Discounts continued to fall in the foreign money centers and the Australia Imperial Bank marked down Its official rate. An item of the day's news was the statement of the gold production at the Rand in De cember, which rose to 583,526 ounces, a record output for any month. With the reaction in the stock market caused by the speculative profit-taking, there came Into consideration again some of the topics which were driven into the back ground. Financial news of some railroad systems or which the credit is not high gave rise to renewed misgivings. The pres sure of Southern Pail way securities espe cially was conspicuous. The rapid inflow Jf cash to bank reserves Is expected to be taken advantage of to re plenish the United States Treasury's working balance by some further withdrawals of uuvenuiieui deposits with tne banks. Anoth er requirement for additional caxh gested by the movement of the trust com panies towards membership in the New York Clearing House, which will involve a very material increase In ash holdings by those institutions. The market's weak closing h-ab nH u- influence of the slump in Southern Railway stocks and bonds, with its strong suggestion of serious financial embarrassment for the Bonds were lrrpcular t.i , , . v ... vu. . ii can.
