19 THE MORNING OREGONLA.N, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1912. HEW WALNUT PR GE California Association Names Opening Figure of 14 Cents. START LATE THIS MONTH Local Jobflng Quotations Will Be 15 1-2 to 16 1-2 Cents, Accord ing to Quantity Imported Nut Situation Rice Is Lower. The opening price on 1912-crop California walnuts was announced yesterday by the California Walnut-Growers Association. The ' quotation Is 14 cents f. o. b. California ship pins; points. The walnuts will sell here at 151H cents wholesale according to quality. One to five-sack lots will be quoted at lVi cents, five to ten-sack lots at 18 cents and ten-sack lots or over at 15 H cents. Shipment of new walnuts from California will start the latter part of this month. , Discussing; the situation In Imported nuts a larg Eastern Importer writes: "Tarragona almonds must be very diffi cult to obtain In the primary market, for usually at this time the year the operators In Spain are anxious sellers and are flood ins; this market with cables, but this year not only is there no anxiety to sell, but cables from Spain offering; Tarragona are rare. Prices are now making; on new crop Mountain and Campania Naples. October shipments from New York. Sicily filberts continue firm, with prices slightly higher In the primary market. Brazils are again higher, and with stocks greatly reduced we must look for a still further advance, as prices have been abnormally low." RICE PRICES ABE MORE REASONABLE Buyers Are Hammering the Market in the South. The rice markets during the past two weeks have been working down to a very reasonable basis. Texas mills have been coming into the market quite freely and the buyers have been hammering prices until values have got to the point where the market sterns able to resist further reduc tion. A slight upward tendency is now evident. The sugar market la steady at the recent decline, which was caused by the pressure to- sell-new crop raws. Commenting on the . sugar situation an Eastern authority says: "A year ago at this time prices were the highest for many years, centrifugals at 5.965c and granulated at 6.615c net cash, .due to the short crops in Europe and Cuba. Prices are now about lc lower, with indl cations of no very sharp fluctuations for the Immediate future, and a possible gradual moderate reduction later, due to the pros pect of ample supplies tn the new campaign. The rather limited demand for refined Is due partly to the fact that consumers in many localities are still stocked with much larger quantities In the household than is usual, having bought heavily early In the season In anticipation of possible high prices in September, as occurred In 1911. They have learned that last year was very exceptional and will soon be buying freely again." f Iate advices from Maine say that the outlook for the season's corn pack Is very poor, owing to continued cold weather, and that at the best not more than 50 per cent of last season's pack can be expected. With reference to the tomato situation the Chicago Canner says: "Weather improved both East and West, Increasing the supply and bettering the quality of the raw stock. In consequence the shortage in tomato pro duction this year will not be as great as Indicated ten days ago. There will be material shortage for the larger acreage planted, but what the shortage will amount to or just how the pack will compare with last year's small output is not at present knoyrn to anybody. Every body Is entitled to a guess, but at present nobody knows, even approximately." Reports from Norway are to the effect that the catch of mackerel so far has been quite good, but the American buyers have snapped up all parcels offered, and in con sequence of this prices have advanced during the last week. The fishermen, seeing that the American buyers were eager to acquire the fish, put up their asking prices and are speculating upon getting more money within the next few weeks. The fleet is still out. and cables report that good- catches are ex pected to be landed, and a reaction from the present high level is considered by deal ers as sure to come. Not much Interest is shown In the prune market yet, only a few buyers quoting prices Ip this state. In California the packers axe offering 30-40s at t cents, peaches, apri cots, apples, raisins and all California dried fruits are lor this season. FANCY APPLES ONLY IN DEMAND Banana Train Arrives by Way of Tacoma. Yakima Peaches Coining. There Is a good demand for fancy large red apples at $l$l.SO per box, but small red apples art? afmr and green apples of any size are almost Impossible to, move. Winter Punanas have made their appearance and are quoted at I &033 Pr box on the large There was a fair demand for peaches yes tcrdity, Sal ways bringing 40 to 65 cents, ac cording to quality, and Levi clings selling .at 75 cents. A car of Augberts and Sal wars wil! arrive In a day or two. Receipts of Concord grapes were light and the market was steady at 12H cents a basket.

Receipts were free from all quar ters and as a result prices fell until Port land is now the cheapest poultry market on the Coast.- Hens and Springs sold as low as 113 cents yesterday. Prices on other kinds of poultry were maintained in better shape. In tLe dressed meat market the tendency was wak because of liberal receipts, but prices held fairly well. The demand for eggs was active and of ferings were limited. Oregon extras sold up to 38 cents. Butter and cheese were firm at ur c haj. ged prices. - r Storing Best Potatoes. , AURORA, Oct. 4.

The Commercial Bul letin will say tomorrow: A auleter week has been in evidence In the Boston wool market and some dealers have shown a little uneasiness over the fact that the mills have been less active In the market. The mill buyers aver that concessions have been made In the trade, but this seems contrary to the strong and healty conditions underlying the market.

EUROPE SELLS HEAVILY irxLOADIXG OF STOCKS CARRIES NEV- YORK. PRICES DOWN. Early Rise Is Almost Entirely Wiped Out Money Market Condi tions Are Favorable. NEW YORK. Oct. 4. Europe was again the foremost factor In today's stock market, utnrt develoDmente in the Balkan situation precipitated heavy selling of our securities at leading foreign centers, much of which bad to be taken here. Foreign selling did not materialize exten sively until after the close of the European exchanges London's closing quotations for our stocks were highly encouraging with gains of a point or more In Atchison, Can adian Pacific and t- Paul. These were all duplicated here, the first hour's business being on an extesilve scale, but local sell ing for profits and the short account soon arrested the rise. Later when the offerings from abroad were sent In. the entire market began to sag and before -the closing nothing was left of tne early rise except in a few in stances. The closing was active and heavy, with fitful rallies from the low level. Money conditions were favorable to the market. Not only did call and time money rates relax, but our .bankers cancelled a large part of the gold engaged In London during the week. This was accepted as proof of the Improvement in the money sit uation. The bond market moved with stocks. showing initial flrmnefe and later Irregu larity.
