THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY. JUNE 23, 1909 IT pushcannedgoods California Packers Determined to Revive Trade. LOW PRICES ARE NAMED Sharp Reductions From the Opening Quotations of One and Two Years Ago Active Sea son Is Looked For. The canned goods situation, as regards both spot iroods and futures. Is attracting mth Interest In the grocery trade. The putting of Coast fruits on a lower basis hss stimulated buying, especially of spots, while the rtrastlo cut made In the new pack Is likely to lead to a larger move ment this season than the trade has wit nessed for several years. That prices last year were higher than were warranted by existing conditions was t shown by the large oarry-over left on the hands of the packers. A readjustment of - values on a lower level for the 190S pack. fees since enabled the California interests to dispose of a large part of their sur 1 plus on the Coast and In the East. The ; Earning of relatively low prices on the eomlng pack shows that they are deter I mined to do their share In getting the foods Into consumption. As was shown In these columns yester . rflay. the opening prices named by the Cali fornia Fruit Canners' Association are from : 30 to BO cents a case lower than last year's opening on standards, while extra standards are 10 to 60 cents lower. Compared with ; Che prices of two years ago the cut this ' year Is even greater, ranging from 80 cents ' to $1.25 on standards and 25 cents to $1.45 ' cm extra standards. Various reasons are given for the -naming of low prices this season. It is asserted by the sellers that the Jobbers and retailers cave not pushed the association fruits In !he last two years, and that this was the , cause of the slow trade and large carry ' over. ' It was the extreme prices of the last two years, however, that hurt the trade. Discussing the Associations' opening Quo tations, the California Fruitgrower says: "As has been predicted, very low quo tations are named, and It has been the effort of the Association to put out prices as. low as it Is thought they can be made with any safety In order to Induce Interest and selling. It Is the Intention, if possible, to establish the lowest possible prices at the opening of the season, with advancing rates If any changes are made. In place of reductions. It Is too early yet to know Just how the trade will push canned goods at these prices, but It Is the Intention to rentst reductions and Induce Jobbers to make sales actively with the feeling that no lower prices are to be put out. Kumerous offers at reductions have bean put up to the Association since prices were named, but have been firmly refused. It Is reported If prices were established at 10 cents a doxen for everything on the list offers to buy at 7V4 cents would be submitted, we suppose." CALIFORNIA ArRICOTS ARE FIRMER New Oregon Potatoes on the Market Can talon pes Delayed. There was a good supply and a wide assortment of fruit on Front street yester day, but trade was not particularly brisk. Apricots were firmer and sold up to $1.50 per crate for the best. A car arrived from : the Routh, but efforts to secure another j car failed, because of hot weather In Cali fornia, The two ears of cantaloupes that , were due have not arrived yet. Express 'Shipments sold at $4 per crate. Strawberries were In rather light supply -nl sold at 1.40iyV75 on the street. New; 1 California apples of the White Astrachan Variety offered at $1.75 per box. Burbank .plums were quoted at $1.85. Clymana at 1.2fl and Tragedy prunes at $1.25. New Oregon potatoes, grown in the Bub- nrbs of the city, were on sale at 8 cents fper pound. There was a fair supply of new r California , potatoes, of which several cars ifcre rolling. Old potatoes are very hard tto move at reduced prices. ; Several of the watermelon growers of ' TuTiock. Cal.. have formed an association 'called the "Watermelon Growers' Association ito market their crop this year. The or. ..ganlsatlon was perfected by W. 8. Broad feus, well known In Portland, who will be fthe selling agent. All melons will be Bold !f. o. b. at Turlock. The prospeots are "ood for a large crop, and It is expected -hat the first car will be sent out of there about July 10. i, LOCAL GRAIN MARKET INACTIVE. (Fairly Good Movement In Flour Sew Hay Expected. The grain market was very dull yester day. There was but little offered on spot lnd not much Interest waa shown in future itmslness. Wheat dealers are not disposed to J operate ahead until the foreign situation ls clearer. There la a fairly good local jtlour movement, and it Is now almost cer ftatn that all the old stocks will be worked Off before new flotir is on the market. No mew hay has arrived yet. but a car or two re expected before the close of the week. Local receipts. In cars, were reported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hny June 10-20 2 .. 12 2 "0 June til 2 1 1 2 0 Total last week. 14 2 43 6 21 EGGS ARE GOING TO SEATTLE. But For This Outlet, Trices in Local Market Would Be lower. There la some buying of eggs for Seattle account and but for this fact the market would probably be on a lower basis, as the focal demand is too light Just now to take care of all the receipts. Poultry sales also drng and a general lowering of quotations Is necessary to work eff stocks. The cheese market Is quoted strong, with : upward tendency. Butter cleans up well, but there Is an easier feeling In the Jsorth, as a result of the Eastern slump, and there does not appear to be any oppor tunity for hlKher prices locally. Hop Contracting In New Tork. The Now York Journal of Commerce says IT 19 cents is being offered on contract for "states." and. at least In one Instance, 20 cents was paid. There were no new developments in the local market and no further reports from the South. Rank Clearings. Clearir.KS of the Northwestern cities yes terday were as follows: Clearings.

The market, however, has been loaded with in ferior stock for some time past and the result has been that prices have been held down. This applies particularly to sheep and cattle, quotations on which were un changed yesterday. Hogs show great strength, because the supply has at no time been equal to the demand.

BUYING ON LARGE SCALE Steel, Reading and Harriman Pacif ies In Strong Demand Money Rates Are Easier Bond Market Turns Firm. NEW YORK, June 22. A recovery in prices today resulted from the disproof of rumors circulated yesterday of E. H. Har rlman's sudden illness. There was renewed buying by the large commission houses whose selling yesterday gave the impression of Important liquida tion. The buying of United States Steel, the Harriman Pacifies, and Reading, proved Imposing and had a strong influence on the whole market. The tone of the foreign markets was heavy and dull and this deprived the re covery of any enoonragement. Buying of demand Bterllng bills also con tinued large to meet July 1 payments in London by mall remittances. Foreign ex change raues were thus held at the advance, which points to a resumption of the export movement of gold. Copper had another decline In London and prices of that metal were marked down at the New York Matal Exchange. Money rates were perceptibly easier both on call and time. In spite of the active de mand for foreign exohanga. . Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, $4,120,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High.
