THE MORNING OREGONIAN. FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1903. 19 TWO-THIRDS CROP Prune Yield Will Be Light and Growers Holding Firm. NO DEMAND FOR FUTURES Range of Grain Prices on the Board or Trade Active Trade in Fresh Krulls Kggs Scarce and Very Firm. A careful Investigation of the prune crop in Clark County has been made by an ex perienced buyer, who estimate! about half a normal crop this year. Conditions are spotted In the county, some orchards doing fairly well and others poorly. The prunes will run to the larjre sizes. The only harm that could .come to the crop now would be rains during the drying season, which will begin about September 10. In the Willamette Valley conditions ars better than in Clark County. The crop will be heavier than was first expected, probably 73 per cent of a normal yield. The total output of the Northwest Is figured at about two-thirds of a crop. Prune growers are reluctant to sell new t the prices offered them, feeling that the situation is strong enough to justify higher prices, but like all articles in the dried fruit line, prunes are not in strong demand. Of the situation in the futures market the New York Journal of Commerce says: There Is reported to be a more urgent desire on the part of Coast packer to se cure orders for future California prunes, which finds expression In quotations that are a quarter to half a cent lower than prices named heretofore on the new crop. These prices are said to be entirely specula tive, and there is a suspicion t-hat they are being put out more for the purpose of in fluencing growers than in the hope of set ting business in Eastern markets at this time. From some quarters 1D0S Santa Claras are offered on a llc f. o. b. bag basis in 4 os to 90s, Inclusive, but there seem to be but one or two sellers at that price, :ic basis representing the minimum price In most cases, while a number of packers are not inclined to book orders on anything less than a 4c f. o. b. bag basis. As 30a and larger sizes promise to be extremely scarce on this crop, they are not being oitered, so far ss can be learned. Outside prunes are quoted In some instances -on a 3 Vic f. o. b. bag basis, but even that figure aoes not seem to appeal to buyers. KETl'KN OF riUiSIDKNT TOWN5KXD After Visiting Eastern Exchanges. Is Well Satisfied With Work of Local Board. President T. S. Townsend. of the Board of Trade, returned yesterday from a trip in the Kastern States, and after watching the busi ness done on many of the produce exchanges, expressed himself ns well satisfied with the showing made by the local board. He saJd: "All things considered, we have a larger membership, a better dally attendance and more interest is displayed by the members than at many of the exchanses I visited. I also found that, compared with other boards, our fees are ridiculously small. "Trade conditions In the East are quiet In many lines, but a striking exception is in the dairy produce line. The butter market 1 very active throuehout the East. There has been plenty of rain in the Mildle West and the dairy produce output Is large, but notwithstanding this fact and the quietness In trade generally, prices of butter hold up remarkably well." At the noon session of the board a wide range was quoted In December wheat, of fers to sell being made at 8SH0 cents, with bids at 84 cents. Receipts for the day were two cars of wheat and one car each of oats and barley and flour. f The range of futures was as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low, Close. pecember 84 b 84 88 OATS. December 1.20 1.30 BARLEY. December 1.10 1.20 MOVEMENT OF CALIFORNIA .FRUIT. Shipments of Barllrtt Tear Have Brgna Grape Will Start Soon.

IT CHECKS THE ADVANCE But Profit Taking Is Conducted Cautiously and Effect on Prices Is Light Granger Group Is Strong. NEW YORK, July 9. It was plainly to be seen that speculative liquidation was in pro gress In today's stock market to secure profits accrued on the considerable advance which has occurred in prices since last week. The effect of this in itself was depressing to prices. - There were pointa of strength which had a sustaining effect on the general list, but they were not m such prominent issues as yester day and were less spectacular in the demon stration, and so had lets sentimental influence. The outside buying orders attracted by ye- ternay s strong showing were taken advantage of to supply stocks In profit-taking sales, and tnts kind of eellinar recurred nrettv reicularlv at all favorable opportunities. The seeming change in the temper of the speculation was not based on any new de velopments anecting general conditions, unless 11 were ine suggestion current at one time that preconceived notions of the action to be taken by the Democratic convention at Den ver might bo upset. ine reactionary tendency of the united Statea steel stocks, after a brilliant disnlav of strength, was a marked restraining in fluence on any upward tendency elsewhere. There was obvious profit-taking going on in t, nion facinc witn powerful sentimental er fect on the whole list, which this stock has come to have. Another rise in the London price of cop per helped, the copper stocks. A center of strength was the Northwestern granger group. induced by reports 01 the brilliant bpring wheat prospects. This revived old -rumors of an Intended extra disbursement on North ern Pacific stock. The day's profit-taking was conducted cau tiously and without serious inroads on prices at any time. Whatever declines were Involved were made up before the end of the day with the growing strength of the sustaining stocks in the dealings. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value. $:;,804I4H)0.
