THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1914. 21 PRUNE TRADE UTS Growers and Packers Are Both Holding Back. CROP OUTLOOK NOT GOOD Present Estimates Are of Yield in 3fort-h-wett of Xot Over 40 Per Cent Good Prices Paid in li us iness So Fa r Done. There is little change in the prune situa tion and not much of interest on this sea son's crop aside from the fact that the crop over the entire Northwest is very short. From the best estimates obtainable at this time there will probably not be over 40 per cent of a crop. No important business is being; done by either grower or packer, both Idea being inclined to wait for -develop ments, or until such time as the actual size of the yield can be arrived at. X few contracts, however, have been made with growers at TVs cents for 30-85s and a quar ter cent Jess for counts of five. There is no question but that good prices will be obtlaned for both the Oregon and California crops. The California situation, as to crop prospects, is somewhat better than it was a week ago. On this subject. the California Frutt Grower, in Its latest issue, says; "There is no question but that the. prune I crop In California this year is very small, the present guesses ranging 10,000.000 pounds both ways from the X00.0OO.uoo mark. The general expectancy is for' pretty good sizes ; in prunes owing to the small amount of fruit that has apparently set on the trees. An advice just received from Santa Rosa states that the prune crop in that section will be between one-half and two-thirds of what it was. last year. The Heal deb urg section reports not more than one-half of last year's crop. "Buying from growers is not so active. The pressure seems to have been reduced a little and packers are not quite so excited. So far as Europe is concerned, uncertain hipping conditions consequent upon the - Mexican troubles have put buyers there out of trie market temporarily, but domestic trade in prunes is reported as Increasing; hence business is being booked more freely by some operators and less freely by others " just ut the moment." MOHAIR MARKET ON STEADY BASIS No Further Sales of Pooled 1 1 air Expected in This State. The mohair season in Oregon is closed, so far as pool sales are concerned. Local dealers state that the clips usually gathered in pools at Dallas. Sodavllle and Hillsboro will be disposed of at private sale and some have already been sold in this man ner. The market is holding steady at the prices established at the pools already sold. The Eastern mohair market continues quiet, with buying of a hand-to-mouth or der and prices are unchanged. Reporting on foreign conditions, the Boston Commer cial Bulletin says: "The situation in Yorkshire is reported ' unchanged, spinners being fairly occupied on old contracts, but new business being of very minor proportions. "The new clip is coming to market in larger quantities in Turkey and at the Cape. At the latter point recent arrivals of Sum mer kids in Port Elizabeth are said to have brought Ss 4 hid on Bradford account. That first grade will be sought with the same relative keenness seems unlikely, in view of the fact that considerable quantities of both Turkey and Cape firsts are still on the Bradford market.

The stock market was almost at a standstill during most of today's trading. lu the foreign markets, as well as at home, Initiative was lacking and indications were for an Indefinite period of Inaction. The English, market, it is ex pected, will go slowly until the Ulster question Is disposed of. On the continent. financial conditions are still unsatisfactory. In this market the Mexican situation con tinues to be the chief restraining influence. In the copper market current business was said to be unusually dull.

NEWBEEG, Or., May 6. (Special.) Newberg ia gtlrred up over the publi cation of the Governor's demand on the city officials to take action in re sard to a letter sent him by Council man Craw, relative to the sale of liquor here. Mayor Colcord received the Gover nor's letter yesterday, as follows: '"To the Honorable Mayor of New. bers; Dear Sir: Inclosed please find a letter from H. Craw, concerning; the shipment of liquor to Newbergr. Will you kindly give this matter the atten tion which it merits? ' "Very truiv yours, "OSWALD WEST, Craw's letter of April 28 said the Southern Pacific Railroad Company'i books showed that, in the months of February and March, Druggist J. W. Barcroft had received 93 gallons of liquor and xrurcist L. B. Feraruso 76 gallons. E. Ilodaon. of the Parlor Pharmacy, in that time . had received a gallon and a half. . This letter was dated April 28. On May 4 Craw again ' wrote the Governor, saying that Barcroft, on April 28. had received another barrel of liquor of 53 gallons, a total of 146 . gallons in three months. In his letter of the 2Sth. Craw said: "Newbers -always has boasted that she has no saloons, but here we have two blind pigs running full blast, under the guise of drug stores. Is there no way to put a stop to this business? No one seems to know how to go at it or are afraid to tackle the job." Some weeks ago a citizens' commit tee took up the matter and various in I churches adopted resolutions for the 91 I City Council to take action. Several Councllmen said that the matter was fully covered by state laws and no ordinance could make them any stronger. Drugs-ist Ferguson says he has nev er handled liquor illegally in 14 years of business. He doubted Craw's fig ures for February and March. It is only a few miles to Sherwood, Wash ington County, and St. Paul, Marlon County, he said. Liquor ix sold in both towns, he said, and considerable i-j brought here in automobiles. Druggist Barcroft made the same statement relative to Sherwood and St. Paul. As to the barrel of liquor recently received, he says it has been scarcely touched. During the time mentioned in Craw's letter, Barcroft says, he has used from 20 to 30 gallons for medical preparations. Warm.
