17 TITE MORXIXG OREGOAX, THURSDAY, MAY g, lQg. OUTLOOK FDR FRUIT Cherries, Prunes and Pears Will Be Scarce in Oregon. HURT BY APRIL FROSTS Bumper Crop of Apples Promised as Result or Systematic Spraying. Walnuts and Filberts lo Well Cannery Situation. District Fruit Commissioner James H. Retd has been Investigating fruit prospects In th Valley and believes that excellent crops will be, produced of all varieties ex cept cherries, pears and prunes. These fruits wen seriously Injured by the two heavy frosts that occurred In April. Mr. Re Id ays: "1 knew the frosts did much damage, but it was far greater than I expected. Of cherries, not over 33 per cent of a crop will be picked, while only 3V per cent of a crop of prunes Is now In eight. Cherries and prunes always go together, when any crop Injury Is to be figured, upon. Bartlett pears will be extremely scarce this year, possibly only 15 per cent of a crop. Most of the pears that are left will be scabby on account of excessive ratna at epraying time. "There will be a bumper crop of apples in Oregon Not only have the climatic con ditions been favorable, but the spraying that has been done will show In wonderful results. Hundreds of orchards In the state that have not for ten years produced apples lit for the market will this year turn out good marketable apples In abundance. Everything: looks good for the peach crop. Berries are also doing well. The early strawberry crop suffered, or course, but the late crop should be good and there will be heavy yields of logan and black berries. It Is too early to make any estimate on the yrape crop. "English walnuts and filberts give prom ise of excellent yields, though It Is too early yet to say definitely what the outcome will be." The recent developments In the cherry situation have upset the plans of the can nerymen. In the early part of the season when the prospects were favorable for a large crop, the canners figured on opening the cherry market at 2 cents a pound and they made no contracts with growers, as they expected to get all tjjey wanted at their own price. Last year canning Cher- Vies sold firm at 5 cents and It does not look as if lower prices would prevail this year. POTATOG ROWERS ARK FIRM HOLDERS Not Disposed to Let Co Until the Market Advances. There -were no new deveipoments In the notato situation yesterday, A number of growers were In town Investigating the situation and they expressed themselves as well n leased with the outlook In other words, they will continue to hold. Specula tive dealers are of the same frame of mind and are quietly sitting down on their pur chases and waiting for San Francisco buy ers to come to their terms. The bearish telegrams sent from the Bay City have failed to have any effect on holders In this section. They believe that as soon as the limited stocks in San Francisco are ex Jiaueted prices will necessarily go higher. Business In the country Is almost at standstill. Rumors were aguln current yes terday that 90 cants had been paid for nme small lota The Jobbing market was exceedingly flrfn at 00 cents to $1 and the street looks for a further advance. New California potatoes were In better, supply and were quoted at SHtfft cent FIRST GKEKX CORN OF THE . SEASON Lot Sells at 60 Omt a Doves, Strawberries Are Firm. Mors strawberries arrived yesterday than on Tuesday, but the supply was not suf ficient for the local trade and prices were quoted very firm. Oregon berries brought 150 17H cents and most of the Callfornlas sold at 11. t0 per crate. Black cherries were care and firm, but plenty of red cherries- were offered. There Is a scarcity of ripe bananas on the street, but two or three cars -are due today. A shipment of Hawaiian pineapples was received and quot ed at $3 4. 50 per dozen. The first green corn of the season ap peared, a small shipment arriving from Brawler. CaL, which brought a high price, 60 cents per dozen. Wax and green beans were plentiful, but peas were in limited sup ply, telephones selling at 7 cents. The street was practically bare of tomatoes. . A fair assortment of steamer truck was distributed and a car of cabbage was received. Market Bare of Turkeys. The poultry market, for the most part, was slaw yesterday. Chickens were In rood supply and dragged, prices ruled about steady except on fryers and broilers, which were weaker. IHicks were also quoted eaey. There was a good demand, however, for tur keys especially hens, but the market was bare of them. Bears moved at the previous'" range of prices, 19 20 cents, with adequate receipts. There was no change In the butter situa tion. City creamery butter was In active demand and firm and outside brands moved off at steady prices. Deadlock In the Hop Market. The deadlock between buyers and sellers In the hop market continues, and trading Is, consequently, on a very limited scale. Grow ere are not willing to accept the presen prlcee offered and none of the heavy buyers has shown any disposition yet to advance bids. Local Wheat Prior. 1 Club. Valley and red wheat Quotations were advanced a cent at the Board Trade yesterday. Trading in wheat was re ported quiet and the other cereals were also dull. Much of the business being handled now Is of a cleanlng-up nature. Board of Trade Offer.

SHARP BREAKS RECORDED Mysterious Rumors Affecting Sever al Railroads Ar Pot in Circu lationWeaker Tone Develops in the Bond Market. -EW YORK, May 27. Further speculative liquidation was very obvious In today's stock market, during; the progress of which prlcee were carried to a lower level than has been touched since the movement began In the latter part of last week. The downward course of prices finds as little In the actual news to account for It as did the previous advance, a fact which strengthens the view that the operations are , centered in few hands and find their motive In a longer prospect of affairs than is outlined In the day-to-day developments. ' While the selling now in progress neetf not represent fears of coming unfavorable events. It must be accepted as a reflection ox a cer tain disappointment over the effect of such favorable developments as have occurred, and which have failed to Incite a sufficient de mand tor stocks to absorb realizing sales, except at the price concessions which are being made. When the stationary movement was once fairly established there came into notice also revived activity on the part of the encouraged bears in the circulation ot reports calculated to prompt selling of stocks and so help in the effort to depress prices. some such reports today 'were or consiaer- able effect. This effect was clearly seen In the case of some of the railroads of lower credit under suspicion earlier in the year ' of financial embarrassment, but since credited with being safely extricated from their trou- blea On account of these rescues, the re bound in stocks from extreme depression was particularly violent, leaving them the more vulnerable tp the revival of rumors Impugn ing their solvency. The -violent breaks In this clash in today's market aided materially In the bear campaign for lower prices. The character of some of the crop damage reports also awakened suspicion of bearish origin by reason of the mysterious allusion to the hidden sources of information on which they were based. The violent fluc tuations in grain prices yesterday gave force these rumors, although largely due to technical speculative conditions In those mar kets.. This was better perceived today when detailed news of weather conditions was known. Another field of bearish industry was in the alleged intentions of the Federal Govern ment in the matter of further prosecutions of corporations. The eaatr tone developed in the bond mar ket was of more influence on financial senti ment even than the break in stocks. The feeling over the Investment situation was af fected by the reception given tne new now Issues opened for subscription and for the high grade bond Issues previously offered in spite of the attractive return of this class of issues. Bonds were easy. Total sales, par .value. $2,700,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low.
