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

Speculative Liquidation in the
New York Market.
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

come to have.

The day's profit-taking was conducted cau
