PRUNES 1NTHEEAST
Why Shipments From. Oregon
Have Been Rejected.
POOR LOTS HURT THE GOOD
Kepetitlon of the Trouble Sot Likely
Scxt Season Hopgnwers Pre
' paring for State Convention.
Produce Trade Is Good
Prune holders In this state are much In
terested In the reports coming from New
York of the rejection of a number of lots of
p run os owing to their unsound condition.
Much harm has already been done to the
good name of the state. It Is said, and for
the sake of the reputation established by the
Oregon Italian prune, it Is to be hoped steps
will be taken next season to prevent a repe
tition of the trouble.
A letter received by a local packer from
New York dated January 8, said:
The market is overloaded with rejected
Oregon prunes. In the neighborhood of 25
or 30 cars have been rejected and unfortu
nately the bad feature is the fact that they'
were moldy.' This has a depressing efTect
on good stock.'
The New York Commercial of January 9,
contained the following:
The business in spot prunes is moderate.
Occasional sales are reported In new crop
Santa Claras within the range quoted on
the various sizes in 25-pound boxes. It Is
possible to buy old crop, and ordinary
quality In new. crop at a shade under the
Inside figures. The weak feature is the un
sold lots of rejected Oregon prunes, these
causing uneasiness among holders of even
the good stock. Quotations on best Oregons
in 20-pound boxes can be shaded on firm
offer. The stock of prunes In the hands of
all holders is estimated to not exceed
carloads. The presence of this stock, it is
believed, will operate against any import
ant buying ' from the Coast for forward
shipment. The Coast market on Santa Clara
fruit Is quoted at 4-c to c four-size bag
basis f. o. b. on sizes 40s; 30s, 60s and 70s.
Outside fruit Is generally quoted on a 4o
four-size bag basts f. o. b. 'l'he Coast stocks
are largely in the control of the packers.
Most estimates place the' total holdings at
not to exceed 4SO carloads.
In commenting on the matter, a well
known Portland prune packer said yester
day: "It is certainly to be regretted Chat Oregon
prunes are going to the Eastern markets in
unsatisfactory and unmerchantable condi
tion. Some Oregon growers wolider why
their prunes do not meet with ready sale.
It Is said that some of the -packers dip only
the facings while the rest of the prunes in
the packago are undipped. There are many
prunes unsold In Oregon In moldy condition
and the growers are under the impression
that when mold appears all that is necessary
to do Is to shovel the prunes over and give
them plenty of air. Experts in-this line of
buMlness, how ever, have learned that when
once a prune becomes jnoldy. It must be
dipped and redrled. Oregon prunegrowers
in the future will probably exercise more
enre in making their contracts with pack
ers." HOP MKN PKKPAKK FOB CONVENTION
Htate Meeting Will Be Held Soon to Elect
.Oregon's Hirer-tors.- -The
organizers of thj Oregon dlvlsiop of the
Pacific Coast Hongrowra Union are making
arrangements for the eate convention of grow- 1
em, to be held soon. In Portland or Salem.
At this convention the Oregon directors will,
be elected and the union started on a feuelness
career. An ' Important meeting will be held
at Independence Friday afternoon, when an
effort will be made to sign up all the Polk
County growers. The princijal speaker at the
meeting will be Conrad Krebs.
Mr. Krebs, who was at the Belvedere 'Hotel
yesterday, says the success of the Union Is
already assured.
"We have 7O0 of the 1200 Oregon growers
already signed up," he said, "tt the dealer
growers decline to join the union, we will
have enough Independent of them to furnish
the required 68 p"er cent of acreage and more,
too. The financial feature of the union,
which some of the dealers criticize, Is not
the obstacle they believe it Is. I have inter
viewed a number of bankers and they said
they prefer to lend money to growers as mem
bers of the union than as Individuals."
H. H. Ptncus, of Tacoma, who is now in
the city, say he hopes' the union wilt be a
success, but he thinks tt wilt fall.
'We are 3000 bales .long for next year,"
he satd, "and If the union can raise prices It
will be a good thing for us and for other
dealer-growers as well. There are no short
sellers for next year, as they cannot get sat
isfactory prices. We have reporu? from So
noma County that only 52 of the 148 growers
signed up. while in Puyallup none signed the
by-laws as drawn up In California, the grow
ers objecting to tying themselves up for five
years. If the union undertakes to grade the
entire crop. It will be December before Its
hops are on the market and by that time the
outsiders and dealers will have sold, which
will give the brewers four or five montlte'
upply, and they will buy the rest of their
requirements slowly, as they always do after
the first of the year.
The only opposition so far that the growers
have encountered In their efforts to form an
association has come from dealers on ..the
Pacific Coast, and this opposition' evidently
has stimulated them to double their efforts.
The view taken by the growers Is that the
trade's only opposition comes from a fear that
a union means higher prices.

Strong Demand for Vegetable.
Front street's stock of vegetables was in
creased yesterday by a further supply brought
up by the steamer Roanoke. The demand
proved good, however, and prices were weil
maintained. The inquiry for sprouts was
particularly strong. Cauliflower is also 'clean
ing up well. .
Onion buying was on a email scale, owing
to, the firmness of growers. About 20 cam
are understood to bo rolling southward ar.d
it is thought this large quantity may tem
porarily weaken the California markets. Po
tatoes hold steady at unchanged prices.
Better Tone In Poultry Market.
Tre was a better feeling in the poultry
market yesterday. Receipts were light and
the accumulated stock of chickens was worked
off at slightly higher prices. There was a
strong demand for broilers, but very few were
to be had. Turkeys, both live and dressed,
continued adrug on the market:
Although eggs were plentiful and slow xt
sale, the price was held steady at 30 cents, in
anticipation of colder weather in the near
future. 9
There were no new developments in the but
ter market.
Wheat -Prices Are Firm.
The local wheat market .continues firm, the
occasional declines In England and the East
having no effect on prices here. Trading was
reported yesterday on the Portland track
basis of 86 cents for club and SS cents for
bluestem. Buying was not of active propor
tions. Bank Clearings.

PLENTY."- OF" MONEY
Professional Operations Con
ducted, on a Large Scale.
ROTATION OF FAVORITES
Price Movement Is a Checkered One,
but Nearly the Entire liist Shows
Gains, as a Result of the
Day's Business.
NEW YORK, Hah. 14. The growing abun
dance of funds in the money market afforded
facilities for thte conduct of speculative opera
tions in stocks and was taken advantage of
freely by a considerable number of the pro
fessional class. The result of these operations
was the maintenance of prices at a level
slightly above last night. The business was
most unevenly distributed, and the price move
ment .was a checkered one and notable for some
of the omissions from the list of stocks af
fected, as much as for those that showed con
spicuous strength.
Reading and the Hill stocks were fed out m
about equal proportions today, and all timed
so that the movement of these stocks was re
stricted, notwithstanding a continuance of ac
tivity in them. These were the stocks which
had been features of speculation, and the
realizing of speculative profits in them with
the opportunity offered by the sustaining effect
of the new points of strength was obvious.
The points of strength were developed In ro
tation, one stock or group being advanced for
a time, then falling back. This is the favorite
method of operation of the professional class.
Much stres was laid upon the sale of New
Central Equipment trust notes, for which J.
Plerpont Morgan & Co. have Invited bids for
$30,000,000, running from one to fourteen years.
Reports point to a rapid allotment of these se
curities to bankers and dealers, but the de
mand from investors was not so much dwelt
on. although the notes are being offered to
yield 6W to 15 per cent; but the ready allot-,
ment reported to be found for them was seized
upon as a sign of Improvement In the ten
dency of capital to move into investment. "
New York Central Itself led the day's ad
vance in the stock market. Reports of tardi
ness in making payment to equipment com
panies by some of the leading railroad com
panies of the country have been a depressing
factor in Wall street ever since the Westing
house Electric receivership, and receivership
trust notes may be regarded as affording assur
ances to these companies against embarrass
ment through delayed collections. This was
the avowed ground for the brisk recovery In
some ftf the railroad equipment stocks. Le
attention was paid 'b returns of gross earn
ings of railroads, v hich showed some heavy
decreases from the amount of last year's cor
responding earnings. Details of projected
economies of railroad companies by reduction
of working forces and cutting down of sal
aries of executive officers, were considered of
less importance as indicating the outlook than
the money market future.
There was a pronounced recession In the rate
of interest for time loans, caused by larger of
ferings and also by a decrease in demand for
this form of loan. The reflux of funds to the
reserve centers seems to be on so" large a scale
that no misgivings are entertained of the ef
fect of the Treasury withdrawals of Govern
ment deposits from National banks for other
possible requirements.
The process of lifting prices had traversed
very much the whole 1UH by the end of the
day and the close was strong.
Bonds were Irregular, total sales 44,232,000.
United States) bonds were unchanged on call.

HIS FAMILY 01 PAYROLL
IDAHO AUDITOR HIRES WIFE
AND SOX FOR CLERKS.
Stale Board of Examiners Refuses
to Allow Claim for AVages and
Bra gaw Kicks Up Muss.
BOISE. Idaho, Jan. 14. (Special.) The
friction that has existed for some tima
between State Auditor R. S. Bragaw on
one side and Governor Gooding and some
of the other state officials on the other
witnessed another development In the
filing of an application in the Supreme
Court by Bragaw for a writ of prohibition
against Governor Gooding, Attorney-General
Guheen and Secretary of State
Lansdon. comprising the Board of Exam
iners, to prevent them from interfering
with the affairs of the Auditor's office by
refusing to approve claims for clerk hire.
Bragaw employed his son at a salary
of $135 a month and his -wife at $100. The
board took exception and, cut the son's
salary to fTa, refusing to allow the wife's
claim In any sum. The action of th
board was based upon the belief that the
state was not receiving services for the
pay claimed. Mr. Bragaw sets forth in
Ms petition tnat the Legislature made an
appropriation to pay for clerical assist
ance and these persons were duly . em
ployed to and did render such assistance.
His position Is that it Is none' of any
other official's business whom he em
ploys. ' '

Cottage Grove "Bootlegsers" Are
Placed Under Arrest.
COTTAGE GROVE, Or., Jan. 14. (Spe
cial.) C. C. Case and Harry Martin were
arrested today on a charge of selling
liquors contrary to the state law. Justice
Young being absent, they were taken to
Eugene this evening and will be tried
there. A warrant was sworn out for
Frank Melntlre. John Barker's clerk,
and H. H. Parker, for "bootlegging."
Melntlre pleaded guilty and was fined.
Parker no doubt had a vision and vacated
before the officers reached his place.
Mayor J. . I. Jones has been on the
alert the last three weeks with a deter
mination to stop Illicit liquor- sales. He
says the" evidence Is so conclusive that
there hs no question as to conviction.
Barker has promised to be good, and
says his business henceforth will be run
differerrtly.
Despite constant heavy rains, Preston
England, is threatened with, a water famine,
a species of fine mosa having found its way

Cent of Annual-Amount
Held a Year Ago.
CHICAGO, Jan. .14. The wheat market
displayed some weakness during the first
hour, because of a decline of nearly one
penny at Liverpool and because of in
creased receipts in the Northwest. Toward
the middle of the session, the market be
came strong, chiefly as a result of a sharp
advance in - corn. Sentiment continued
bullish the remainder of the day, although
some recessions In prices were made owing
to sales brought out by an increase of
2,000.000 bushels in the world's visible
supply, compared with a decrease of
.2.217.000 bushejs the corresponding time
last year. The market was buoyant late in
the day on advices from the Northwest
regarding the small quantity of wheat
still remaining in farmers' hands, the aver
age reserve being estimated at from 10 to
30 per cent of the amount held a year ago.
The close was steady. May opened 9c
lower to a shade higher 'at S1.04U to
$1.04 and closed at $1.04.
Lower cables and liberal receiots caused
slight weakness in the corn market . for a
brief period early In the session, but senti
ment became bullish and remained so the
remainder of the day. A forecast of warm
weather Inspired some demand and the
market closed strong. May opened c
lower at 59 c to 59 c, sold up to 60 c
and closed at 60c
