Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OKEGOXIAN, SATURDAY. JUNE 13, 1908. 19 DAIRYTRABE GROWS Portland Shipping More Butter Than Ever Before. DEMAND IS INCREASING Large Outside Orders Keep the Creamery Market Firm in Spile of Heavy Production Active Trade In Fresh Fruits. Butter production In Oregon la now at the flush. It Is the time of year when the lowest prices usually prevail, yet current quotations are several cents hetter than they were earlier In the year when the out put was much lighter. The position that Portland occupies as a butter market Is demonstrated by this fact. It it tha big outside trade that has been .built up that keeps the market active and firm In the period of the heaviest make. Portland Is hipping more butter to points outside the etate, and Is supplying; a larger territory than ever before In its history, and the business Is steadily growing. Another factor that tends to hold the local market steady la the firm position of the Eastern market. The big producing sections there are past their flush, and there m 1b but little chance of values receding in the Kast from now on. About the only thing that could cause a decline in local prices v.ould be a deterioration In the quality of the product, but this is not expected before mid-Summer. The city creameries are put ting away what surplus they have In stor age, and the quality of the butter could not be better for this purpose. HVB CARS OF CANTALOVPES COMING Strawberry Market Is Better Supplied and prices Are Iower. There were better receipts of strawberries yesterday and prices were slightly lower. At the morning market berries sold at $l-50p 2.1!5 and on the street at '$1.2oty&25. The difference in favor of the market prices Is due to the freshness of the supplies there. Five cars of cantaloupes are on the way to Portland and the first is due Tuesday. Some of these will be sent on to the Sound, otherwise the market would break badly under the heavy shipments. There was a fuir supply of cants on the street yesterday and they sold well at $4 for pony crates and 5 1.7.") 'n l.bo fur specials. Apricots were very plentiful and in excellent demand with the bulk of sales at $1 per crate. Cherries w ere also in large supply and failed to clean up at low er prices, the best box uhcrrieH being quoted at $1 If 1.20 and bulk i lierrU s ut 10 cents per pound. Three cars of bananaa arrived after being 10 days on the road. Most of them were over-ripe or over-green. One or two cars will be in today. - There were no changes in the vegetable market, which was well supplied. Ka stern Oregon potatoes are offering at $11.10. MUPMKNTS OF CALIFORNIA FRUIT Apricot and Cherries FurnNh the Bulk of the Movement. The latest weekly snipping report of the L'jilil'ornia Fruit Distributors follows: Cherries, 4' cars Ideal weather for the phkiug and shipping of cherries. Shipment will remain steady for the next week, cjuallty is improving as the season advances and the later varieties are as good as could be desired .Apricots, 80 cars There has been no dis position on t:ie part of growers and ithippers to unduly hasten the shipment of apricots. Those that have gone forward have gone out in nice shape. There will be a slight in crease in shipment the next seven days. Plums and prunes, o3 cars The bulk of plums going forward consisted of Clymans. A few lied June and a very few Tragedy and Burbanka have made their appearance. In the course of another week or ten days we will have quite a supply of the belter varieties. On account of the favorable weather, plums and prunes are coming on nicely and quality should be all right. Peaches, 1 cars Practically alt Alex anders, but few of these have gone to auction markets, the bulk of them having gone to outside points In f. o. b. cars. There will be an Increase in peach shipments next week, which will carry us through the bulk of Alexander shipments. It will be seen that there will be no heavy shipments of Alexanders this year as previously Indicated on account of the acreage of this variety having greatly decreased. Hales Earlys will come in with the last of the Alexanders and the acreage of this variety has also been decreased. While it is true that these varieties have been decreased, there has been an increase in Triumph and St. Johns, so that by the time the Hales Early are well along we will have some yellow peaches to go out In shipments. All peaches are coming on nicely and should be fine in all respects. Pears Still growing nicely. Crop pros pects fine and stock, clean and nice. THREATEN TO Cl'TOl'T OREGON EGOS Iealers Complain of Shippers Holding Supplies Too Long: in Country. The egg market continues very weak with the majority of sales at 18 cents. Much complaint is heard from the trade of the quality of the receipts, and some of the large dealers threaten to discontinue the handling of Oregon eggs and turn their at tention entirely to Eastern eggs. The Ore gon egg trade would be all right if shippers would exercise more promptness in getting their supplies to market, especially during the heated spell. Poultry receipts were fairly large and with the demand slow, prices continued very weak. Bank Clearings. Clearings of the Northwestern cities yes terday were as follow s: Clearings. Balances.

POLICY OF MR. HARRIMAN Campaign for Support of. Prices Be Iltyted to Have Been Concluded. Erie Disclosures Jar tbe Market. NEW YORK. June 12. The ak relapse In price of nocks today had it, orlrln In suspicion of the policy and position in the ir.arket of the powerful financial party which has been credited with sustaining; price for a ions; time past, rather than In any new, Ira ir.etiiately affecting the value or earning power of the properties whose shares were dealt In. The Erie plan for funding the interest cou pons of the bonds came, indeed, as some thing of a ehock. the advertised announcement in the morning paper, carrying the first Inti mation that ha been heard of the plan. The announcement of the president of the com pany In the letter statins the form of the project that "there will be a deficit below the amount necessary to meet fixed charges for the current fiscal year" did not make p'.easant reading for the owners of the com pany's securities, after the rescue of the property by the purcha.e of the company's notes in April by E. H. Harrlman. The disclosure of the new patchwork for Erie finances, with the announcement of the closing cf subscriptions for the Union Pacific bonds, carried a suggestion of sequence and arrangement by design that proved of sinister effect on the speculation. Pressure of the new Union Pacific bonds, when Issued, In the outside market and their sales there and in the London market at 1 per cent below the subscription price intensified this impres sion. The presumption waa .drawn that the market campaign for support of prices had been concluded with the completion of the Union Pacific bond flotation. The Eries were conspicuous in the declines, as was natural, and selling of those stocks for foreign ac count was a notable factor in the early break. The list ofTered practically no exceptions, however, to, the day's weakness. Bonds were weak. Total, sales, par value, $2,278,000. United States bond, were Un changed on call.
