r THE 3I0KXIXG-OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY, MAY 29, 1908. - 19 HGREASE ITS SALE Oregon Fruit in Europe Should Be Better Advertised. VIEWS OF CONSUL WORDEN J low Some Countries Stimulate the Marketing of Their Products. Hood Iliver Apples in the East. Local Produce Trade. ?That the proper labelling and advertising , of good fruit Is a decided benefit to the shipper and the district from which It is I shifped is amply proved by the reputation 5 that Hood River apples have attained In the J Eastern markets. The name Hood River I has become a synonym for quality and has P brought Oregon into general notice as a fpiiit.vmwinr tJitA Not much ha been done yet by Valley shippers outside of Tarn hill County and the Rogue River Valley In this line, but they are beginning to realize the advantage of advertising their products more extensively. In this connection some Important Information is given by Consul J. I'erry Worden. at Bristol, England, who writes as follows: The store window here are bright with lithograph signs of Jamaica and Canadian fruit shipments, but very few American placards are anywhere to be seen, although considerable American fiuit Is regularly brought into this port. How effective such advertising may be is seen In the fact that one of the leading dealers, pointing to some, clever pictures of Jamaica bananas and some Tery artistic cards of California seed less oranges, declared to me today that he can sell fruit a cent a pound more, and twice as much of it. If his display be ac companied with attractive placards. In general, it may be said that if one m-ere to Judge by the prevalence of such card advertiHing as "Canadian apples." "Canadian fruit." no would Imagine that no fruit reached thle market from the Uni ted States. The reason for the illusion la easily discovered, as Canadian whippets send plain and beautifully illustrated placards with nearly every consignment, while the American shippers send litle or no adver tising matter. The result Is that the passer-by or possible purchaser is misled as to the quantity of fruit Imported from the United States. American apples In par ticular are very popular here, especially In the early season, and the sale of California oranges, particularly the seedless variety, Is steadily on the Increase. t The English are natural travelers, and an appeal to their Imagination Is scarcely ever in vain; hence placards nhowlng the orange, plantations, apple orchards, etc , should ee a effective as pictures of banana groves. During the latter part of April seme of the finest apples ever sold here were brought froili Orepon and quickly disposed of. at Taney prices. Had these apples been accom panied by an Illustrated placard or two, giving some Idea of the life In that distant Norf rnvestern state, the name "Oregon" would have been more indelibly stamped on the mine of the apple buyers. A clever sentiment on such cards would add 'much to their force, and if the price con be stated diHtlnctly and neatly, it would be well to adtl that to the lettering. It may be added that several ef the placards dlwplaved here have been made by KnRltsh printers and lithographers, appar ently at the order of the local importing agents. A good Illustration of the value of this factorial advertising Is found in the serv re rendered the Jamaica banana industry by the lithographed card. In touring Eng land In 1Ntl! and 3R5 the writer noticed the scarcity of tropical fruit here, and it was only some four years ago that the Jamaica I banana importers entered on their campaign for the market of Eneland. Then it was jp-tiiat suddenly a branch was opened In'Brt- to), hundreds or windows and billboards were placarded with bright-colored posters showing the cultivation and collection of bananas In their native environment, signs were carried about the streets, and the yel low fruit was sold for whatever it would leV-ins-. Bristol took to bananas. and the Jading merchants here state that within Two months the Jamaica banana trade had Jr firmly established itself in this city, and ty its ever changing and attractive plac ards, and better fruit, has held its own ever since. Another Illustration of the possIMUtles of dvertlsfhg fruit Is found In rhe hundreds of placards recommending Valencia oranges for lnfiuensa. Owing to an epidemic of this disease in Bristol of late, and the clever placards of Spanish fruit, he sale of Va lencia oranges has advanced over CHK) per cent so suddenly that dealers have scarcely been able to meet the demand. SHIPMENTS OF CALIFORNIA FRUIT YVeather Favors the Movement of Early Varieties," , , A circular from the California Fruit Dis tributors, dated Sacramento. May 2rt. re ports the shipment In the week of 27 cars of cherries and says: The weather V.as remained good during the week and fairly satisfactory In all re spects for the shipping of fruit. There will be a Blight increase in the shipments- of cherries for the next week and the quality of the fruit going forward will Improve somewhat. Shipments for the next week should be about 35 cars. Apricots are coming on nicely and from present indications shipment of them, once tney are ripe, will be quite heavy. v"e do not look for many straight cars to go for ward until about Jupe 10. nums, prunes, peaches. Barlett Dears and grapes are still showing up nice. A few crates of Clyman plums and, a few boxes of early peaches have gone forward. HOP BUYERS AND BELUIW APART Reports of a IJttto Bnslnes Betas; Done on Export Account, The purchase of the Hop l,ee lot of 200 bales of hops at Brooks by Henry I. Bents was reported yesterday. The price paid was 5 cents. There were also rumors to the effect that John Carmlchael was In the market. The only local business learned was the buying of soma spot good and the making of a number of contracts by Harry 1. Hart. In general the market was quiet. as buyers and sellers were apart in their views. Reports of the unsatisfactory condition of the Oregon crop continue to come in, but H Is too early to figure on the final out come from the present appearance of the arda Poultry Market Is Weak. The poultry market is in a very weak con dition. Prices are steadily declining, but are not loxv enough yet to cause a free movement and more or less stock Is carried ner each day. Kggs hold about steady at the previous auge of prices, with the supply and de ntin ! nearly equal. Butter Is active and cleans up each day on Northern orders, but some shading of prices n outside brands Is found necessary. Ught Arrivals of Berrir. The cool weather retards the ripening of Oregon strawberries and local receipts con nue very light. The market yesterday as firm at the prices of the previous day. Oackberrles from California have made lelr appearance and are offering at $1.75 er small crate. Two cars of bananas ar ;ved In good condition. There were no new features locally In 'ie potato market San Francisco wires ported lower preres and shipping from its end has ceased temporarily. It is fluhtful whether the shippers, could buy r.yhow. Holiday In Wholesale District. No wholesale business will be transacted iturdsy. Memorial day. The grocery job v have decided to keep their dors osed all day and the wholesale produce ealen will only bo open for an hour or two In the morning to receive perishable freight. The Board of Trade will be cloned all day. i Eastern Demand for Onto.

Market Is Slightly Affected LIGHT SELLING ON BREAKS Liquidation Only Carried On When Prices Are Advancing Iron and Steel Trade Condi tions Improve. NEW TORK, May 28- The stock market today , had to sustain some rude buffets in the demon jd breaks in the Gould stocks, and the nower of resistance to this In fluence, which was displayed, had some ef fect of reassurance on speculative senti ment, it has been observed of the specu lative liquidation this week that it was not urgently pressed on a falling market, ad vantage being taken rather of strong periods to market stock. This fact has Im pressed the belief In the strong resources of the seller to realize. The apparent com posure with which the drop in the Gould group was viewed may be due to the bel'ef that good to the general situation may be evolved out of the reorganization believed to be imminent. The same spirit was manifest toward the news of a receivership for the Western Maryland. That project represented the eastern portion of the proposed Wabash extension to the Atlantic seaboard, as the Wabash-Pittsburg Terminal does the west ern line. The difficulties of the Western Maryland gave rise to rumors that reor ganization would-be on terms to secure the Wabash in its outlet, facilities, and at the same time do away with rivalries threat ened by the form of the project. The acute conditions developed today in the securities concerned in that project grew out of the fact that interest on the first mortgage bonds of the Pittsburg Terminal Company falls due on Monday next, for which provision Is considered doubtful. Nothing said by the officials of the company was calculated to allay this doubt, which was much aggravated by the unsupported condition of the securities In the market. Doubts were Impelled, as well, of the maintenance of dividends on Missouri Pacific, the last declaration having been made payable in stock Instead of in .cash. The reduction of the discount rate of the Barvk of England, in spite of the continued demands of the continental centers upon London for gold, was eloquent of the irre sistible effect of the increase in bank re serves. The same state of affairs is dis cernible in our money market, where money continues easy in spite of the week's re quirement of nearly $18,000,000 on the New York banks, already met, for return of Gov ernment deposits and for exporta of gold. Apparently this heavy drain is offset fully one-third by the continued Inflow of cur rency from the Interior. The passage through the House of ths emergency currency bill was the professed ground for some of the early buying of stocks. London copper was higher today. The decidedly more cheerful tone of re views of the Iron and steel trade- was a factor in making up the tone of the day's speculation. 60 also was the sustained con fidence In the crop condition expressed by trade publications. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, $2,08,000. United States bonds were . un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATION'S.' Closing Sales'. High. Low. Bid.

SALEM. Or.. May 28. (Special.) The Salem Board of Trade decided that the time has come for the business' Interests to take a hand In the matter of settling the difficulty between the City Council and the Oregon Electric Railway Com pany. It Is understood that a special meeting of the Board of Trade Is to be held Friday evening. This would. Indicate that an amicable settlement may be looked for. So far, it would seem, . no reasons have been assigned for the action of the City Council in refusing to settle the controversy, except that some people want the company to buy up their lots in order to withdraw their remonstrance, while others think the company ought to be willing to lower the grade of the track from half a foot up to about 24 feet be low the present grade. At any rate, thirws look, quite favorable for final ad justment of the controversy. TRAVELERS' GCIDI, PORTLAND RY., LIGHT ft TOWER CO. CABS LEAVE.
