17 J fnE MORNING OREGOKIAN, SATURDAY, JUNE 35, 1910. FRUIT NO CHEAPER Opening Prices on 1910 Ore gon Canned Goods. CHERRIES AND PEARS UP Small Crops on the Coast Respon sible for the Advance in These Lines Demand Is Very Active. " Opening prices have been named by packers on 1010 Oregon canned fruits. The quotations, a a rule, are about in line with those of 1909, except on cherries and pear. These ar higher, because of the smaller crops. The 1910 quotations on table cherries run from 20 to 30 cents a dozen above those of last 'year, while gallon cherries are 35 to B0 cents a dozen higher. Pears run from 15 to 20 cents a dozen higher on tatole fruit and from 30 to 75 cents higher, according to qual ity, on gallon goods. The Oregon cherry crop Is much lighter than last year and -the crop In California was also very light. In the East, because of freezing weather late in the Spring, the cherry crop was cut down materially and this farced the Maraschino preserve people to come to the Coast for more than their usual sup ply. They have been making contracts at any price they could get and have taken away much fruit from the canners. Packers in Oregon and California are sold up on all grades of cherries and have withdrawn from the market. The pear crop will be light as a whole along the entire Coast. The. shortage of pears end cherries has in creased the demand for berries and practi cally all the canners are closely sold up on strawberrries and raspberries. Owing to the higher prices on gallon cherries and pears, there has been, a material increase in the de mand for gallon peaches, apricots, blackber ries and apples. As a result, most of the canners are booked up on blackberries and apples, while some of the California packers have withdrawn prices on some grades of gallon apricots. The apricot crop of France was very light this year, which has stimulated the demand for canned apricots on the Pacific Coast for the Engl la h trade, which la always quite heavy. Spot stocks of fruits on the Pacific Coast are lighter than they have been at this time of year for the past two seasons, and this, coupled with the active demand for futures. Indicates a strong and advancing market un til next Spring. HOPS BOUGHT FOR EASTERN ACCOCKT About 600 Bales Have Changed HaJids Dar in the Week.

Market Goes to 7 and Will Be $8 Next Week Watermelons Coming. Lemons were the strongest feature of the fruit market yesterday. " The general quota tion on the street was $7 and next week the market will go to $8. Lemons are high and advancing all over the country, stimulated by the big hot weather demand in the East and the strong statistical position of the Califor nia market. There was also a good Inquiry for oranges. A car of navels was received, which ' will probably be the last of the sea son. There was an active trade in cantaloupes, but for the most part at low prices. Good stock was held at $1.752.25, while poor qual ity sold at 1.231.50. A wire received by 'the Pearson-Page Company announced the shipment from Dlnuba. Tulare County, Cal., of the first car of watermelons for Portland. The melon crop of California is not heavy this year. The market was heavily stocked with cher ries, which, in spite of their fine quality, were -slow of sale. Black Republicans were quoted at 5 cents. Royal Anns at 5(70 cents, Blngs at 10 cents and Lamberts at 12 1 cents. Ber ries moved well without much change In price. A large shipment of fancy California corn was received and -quoted at 45 cents a dozen. California tomatoes are about cleaned up, but' will be plentiful again next week.

(Specfal.) Poultry and veal were steady, and the outlook for the coming week is for no change. On the advance of a dollar in California lemon markets, buyers sent in hurry orders by wire in anticipation of a.jump on this market within three or four days. Cabbage is scarce. The supply of local cauliflower dwindled and a brisk demand was created. A carload of watermelons is due tomorrow, but dealers decline to quote prices.. Triumphs are the prevailing peaches in the market. Cherries stiffened today and went uo from 0O cents and $11.10, and $1.25.

JOBBING BUSINESS BETTER Iron Trade Is Fairly Active at Re duction in Quotations Railroads Asking for Bids on Greaf Number of Cars. KEW YORK. June 24. Bradstrcef, to morrow will say: There has been a little more-confidence in ordering from Jobbers and wholesalers for Kali, but in the Northwest there Is a dispo sition to await a clearer view of the crop outlook before adding to the already fairly good business booked for Fall in dry goods and clothing. Confirmation of the theory that there is a demand for goods at lower prices is found in the fairly satisfactory response in the way of orders to the general reductions noted by manufacturers of bleached cottons and gray goods this week. In Industrial lines there is little evidence of Improvement to be seen. The iron trade Is fairly active, but pig iron is lower, and the trade feeling a, to the last half of the year is hardly as optimistic a In the first six months. In cotton goods the movement is still in the direction of curtailment. Col lections do not show much Improvement. Business failures In the week ending June 23 were 167, agatnrt 178 last week, 23a In the like week of 1B09, 238 in 11X)8. 150 in 1K07 and 144 In 1906. Business failures In Canada for the week number 26. which con trasts with 27 for the last week and 30 In the corresponding week of last year. BUSINESS COXFIBENCE GROWING. Pig Iron Production Is Hot Materially Curtailed. NEW YORK, June 24. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: Buine& confidence gains in strength. Con ditions in the iron market are marked by considerable uncertainty. Although stocks of pig iron continue to accumulate, reduction in production has not reached Uie extent thought probable a while ago. New orders received by the leading pro ducers are aiJ to be larger than last month and only 30 blaat furnaces are now announced as klle. compared with 31 on June 1. Nu merous good orders have been placed for structural material, of which the total for the month is expected to reach 150, OO0 tons. Railroads are asking for. bids for k large number of new cars. In the dry goods market a reduction of half a cent a yard in bleached cottons attracted unusual attention, because of the announce ment that prices wuld be guaranteed to Oc tober. General trading showed some Im provement and Jobbers are buying in moderate quantities, but the feature of the bmttnees, both In woolens and cottons, is the Increasing curtailment of production at the mills to avoid accumulation of stocks. Mora favorable weather stimulated interest t the retail counters in Summer merchan dise and enhanced the trading for next Spring. Although trading is below normal in the pri mary markets, it is noteworthy that there is a larger measure of confidence in Impor tant quarters. Unsatisfactory conditions continue in the footwear market. New England manufacturers averaging about one-half the volume of their usual business. Encouraging jeports were received from the West, business there being relatively much better than in the East. Further weakness characterized the hide market and some of the large Western packers are anxious to sell hides ahead into the short-haired Summer sea son at present low prices.

Sentiment in Wall Street Also Af fected -Adversely " by Attorney General Wickersliam's Speech. NEW YORK. June 24. The stock market fell Into depression again today under the combined influence of renewed reports of crop damage and of the publication of Attorney General Wlckersham's speech In Chicago. -The close correspondence in the speculative movements In grain and stocks was seen in the course of the early fluctuations In the market. Stocks started higher and wheat started lower. When wheat commenced to advance, stocks begp.n to decline. At the sAmn'time renorts of extensive damazn rut only to Spring wheat, but to corn, began to come. Into Wall street in a flood. The manner in which the subject of Gov ernment control of capitalization was treated by Attorney-General Wlckersham in his Chi cago address seemed to appeal with new force to operators in stocks. Apparently the de termination voiced by President Taft in yes terday's statement, and repeated In the Attorney-General's- argument. to make aggres sive efforts toward securing the new legis lation In - the coming session of Congress of fered a new phase of the subject. Mr. Wlck-ersh-am's advocacy of ' use of the National power 'to correct every evil of a public char acter which experience demonstrates to be susceptible of correction only by National leg. .islatlon," was seized on to indicate a broad ening scope for Government pursuit of cor pora tlons. There was a supposition that the pressure on stocks, Deileved to come- largely from pro fessional sources, had In it a provocative pur pose to bring out support from the financial party credited with a desire to see stocks ad vance. The arrival at his office of J. P. Morgan for the first time since his annual homecoming was coincident with the most active selling movement of the day. Preliminary estimates of the week's cur rency movement indicated a further large in flux of cash to New York from outside sources, the margin over the absorption from the market by the sub-Treasury running to several million dollars. sterling exchange bills declined at one time seven points below the low point of yesterday. The imminence of the "half-yearly settlements steadied the London money market to some extent. Hnnria uca U'Xeguiar. Total sales, car States bonds CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Bid. Sales. High.
