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.
The flurry in the Eastern grain markets
has had some effect on the local oats trade
and orders for oats for Eastern shipment are
again on hand. The wheat market was
quiet yesterday, but firm at the previous
prices.

GUULD5TQCK5DRQP
But. Genera! 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.

weak nearly ali day because of favorable
report, regarding- the growing crop. In thl
country and abroad. At times the strength
of the. May delivery, which wa. in active de
mand toy shorts, caused: considerable gains
in the deferred months, but each advance
brought free sales by longs which resulted

highly congested and price, jumped up or
down to o at a jump. report that

URGES ACTION BY COUNCIL
Salem Board of Trade Intercedes in
Behalf or Oregon Electric.
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.
