VIEWS OF WILLIAM BLOHM Large Apple Production Has Tend ency to Hold Down Cttrns Fruit Quotations I.cmons Plenti ful and of Fine Quality. California has a large orange crop thia yrar and prices are going to be reasonable. In the opinion of William Blohm, who haii . Just returned from an extended trip through the cltrua districts of that state. He said yesterday: "In Tulare County the oranges are run nine to large sizes. 64. to 80s. and the fruit la going to be rough. Aa for the northern oranges, those around Loomis, Pol aom and Fair Oaks, there i a fair run ot slses and they are the aweeteat coming on the market now. These orangea are not b?ing shipped until they are fully matured. When you find orangea of a pale yellow color you can aet It down as the result of sweating. Such oranges are picked before they are fully matured and colored by the sweating process. Fully matured fruit shows up good color. Southern California will have a big crop and they expect to begin shipping In the first part of December. Thero will be a large crop of oranges In the atate. and prlcea no doubt will be reasonable. In line with the valuea of other fruit. The heavy apple crop haa a tend ency to force orange prices down. The Independent oranite shippers are making special efforts this year to cater to the Western trade. "There Is a fair crop of lemons In Call 'fornia and the quality Is very good- Cali fornia grapefruit will not command high prices for some time yet. on account of the low price of Florida grapefruit, which i preferred In this market." SHORTAGE IN ACSTBALIAX WOOL CLIP Falling; Off Estimated at S Per Cent of Last Year's Ontpnt. The latest Information received regard ing this season's wool shortage in Australia Is from the Sydney Sun. which estimates the clip at 1.600.000 bales, against 2.020,547 bales last year. The Sun says: "The loss to Australia caused by the last drought, as revealed In the wool clip. Is expected to run Into something like 25, 000.000. The number of sheep estimated to have died in the dry period was between 5. ooo.ooo and 6.00O.000. and In addition It is regarded as Improbable that of the lambs more than 25 per cent survived. "The effect of the season Is being plainly felt at the present wool sales. Even the clips raised away from the drought area are less valuable than usual. Almost over the whole of Xew South Walea and Queens land the fleeces are lighter in some cases two pounds, and If not as high aa that everywhere, certainly not much less. The clips from the table-lands and slopes did not suffer to the same extent, but these fleeces were reduced In value by reason of the fact that there was a good deal ot seed distributed among them." THE EAST SOT INTERESTED1 IX HOPS Few Transactions on the Local Market Conditions In England. Hop trading continues on m light scale, A. J. Ray Son bought 200 bales at 11 to 13 cents and a few small transactions were reported. Eastern dealers show little In - terest In the market. The Kentish Observer of -November T aaya of the English market: "The large growths of Bramllngs and Goldlngs are now changing hands, but the general trade is quiet. Prices on the whole are steady, but while some growers are more ready to accept the offers made, oth ers are still holding out. Nothing over T 10s appears to have 'been made up to the present, and this only for choice parcels. The top price ioi the best grades of Wor cesters Is 7. The Imports of hops in tho week ending : November 2 were 14.12S cwts.; In the cor responding week 1S11, 4.769 cwts. "James Beeney. farmer and hopgrower, of Burchett Green, Tieehurst, holds the record this year, according to the size of his acreage, for the largest average crop of hops in East Sussex. 5 pocketa on aix acres." BANANAS ARE SCARCE AND FIRM Thl Condition Will Also Prevail x Week Navels in Demand. Bananaa are the firmest article in the fruit line Just now. Ripe stock on Front street Is scarce. Five cars are due Satur day and were last reported green, so next week's market will also be very firm. A car of loose navels was received yes terday. The demand for navels continues active.

IMPORTS STARTED Railroad Returns for October Show Gains, and Trade Reports Are Optimistic Heavy Baying in the Last Hour. NEW YORK, Nov. 21. In place of the drifting and Indecisive tone of the stock market recently, thero was a definite im provement today and prices rose easily In all quarters. The movement was a comprehensive one and the amount of trading, although still comparatively small, was the largest of the week. A long list of stocks, including leading railroad and Industrial Issues, as well as some of the less conspicuous shares, estab lished gains of one and two points. Several Influences combined to give the market a more cheerful appearance. At the opening, quotations were affected by the higher range of Americans in London, and small gains here were general. Announcement of the engagement of $750, 000 gold for Importation from London, fav orable railroad' returns for October, opti mistic trade reports and the prospects for conclusion of the Balkan War seemed to traders to Justify a more bullish position. The market continued to show a lack of settled purpose and during most of the afternoon session trading was at a low point, with prices slightly below the best. In the last hour there occurred the heaviest buy ing movement of the day, and the market closed strong at the best figures of the session. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, 2.;iO0,O00. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATION'S. Reported by J. C. Wilson A Co., Lewis building, Portland. Sales.
