TTTK MORTo OBFOOVTAN. THURSDAY,' MAT 28, 1914. 21 NO' BANANA SCRAP Local Jobbers Decline to Drawn Into War. Be NOTHING GAINED BY IT if Prices Arc Slashed,. It AVI II Have to lie Done at Gull Importing Ports and 2Vot Here Com - petitor Is AVelcomed. T.ocat. fruit wholesalers believe an effort Is being' made to entangle tliem in a banana war. Up to this time the Fruit Dispatch Company has supplied all the bananas con sumed In this market, but a competitor has now entered the field , and the banana trust would no doubt like to see trouble stirred up over the matter, prooably not so much to harass the newcomt-r s ' to start a price cutting campaign, which, would mean a larger consumption of bananas. Front street people have no objections to prices being cut, but the cutting must be done by the banana, magnates and not at the expense of the local dealers. Five cars of Fruit Dispatch bananas came In yesterday and they were a line delivery, which shows what the big company can do when it wants to. - Four cars from Vacarro Bros., the independent concern, will arrive this morning. They are guaranteed of su perior quality and will sell at the same price as the trust bananas. In the mean time the importing companies at the Guif ports have tacked a 10-ecent advance to their Quotations and yet they want the Portland dealers to start a price-cutting crap. "Why should we have a banana war?" said a Front-street dealer yesterday. "It would do us no good, so far as I can see. The banana people, of course, want to sell more bananas and they want to hold the suck. No, sir. If there is going to be a banana war we are going to hold the sack or nothing doing1. The trust is worried because -a competitor has come in. Let the competitors come in, I say." Vacarro Bros. bananas have been on the Seattle market for the past five weeks and there has been no trouble there. The same fruit has monopolised the Los Angeles mar ket Tor "many "months nd no war has de veloped. Why an attempt should be made to foment trouble in Portland is what the Incal dealers cannot understand. They must emphatically decline to be made the goat in any scrap. CAB OF- CANTS IS DCE SATURDAY Strawberry larket Is Tophcavy First Peaches Rereivrd. Tha first car of cantaloupes will arrive by express Saturday. ilalf the car will remain here ami thj vemulnder be sent to the Sound. They wiir probably sell at $5.3o a crate. Tho first car by freight was out for .Portland yesterday. A shipment or Early Alexander peaches, the first of the season, arrived and sold at Another shipment is -due today. Apri cots were more plentiful and lower at $1.73 s crate. The strawberry market was heavily sup plied and weak. " Prices on the street ranged from 75 cents to $1.35. Black Tar tarian cherries were received from Lewis- ton and sold at $1.50 a box. White cher ries were steady at 10 ($13 Is cents a pound. r lorida grapefruit hs been advanced to $t.50 a box. - The last car of the season Is in. Lemons are strong and will be higher next week. Among the vegetable arrivals was a car of Florida tomatoes. New California potatoes were active at.'JVi cents. ...County Fruit X n- spector Stunsbery. who Is watching the receipts for tuber moth, reports that the supplies now coming aro absolutely clean DOMESTIC WOOLS A RE NOW IN LEAD Attention of Ituyers Being Turned From Foreign Product. Trading In domestic wools in the Eastern markets has displaced the interest in the Imported' product, according to mail ad vices. In the past week nearly 1,500,000 pounds of the new territory clip has been turned over at Boston. Buyers have taken them, fceely and sellers have secured a good profit on the early shorn supplies. In the meantime further purchasing is being car ried on in the West at prices In some In stances 6 to 7 cents above the level of last year. Of the increase In the scoured cost It is said: "It is suggested that the scoured cost of fine staple territory, laid down here, pos sibly will reach as high as 70 cents. The average basin of territory, scoured, is figured at 53 to 60 cents, according to wools re cently sold in the West. The scoured cost -f territory wools sold the past week to buyers in this market by dealers ia esti mated as tin to 57 cents. Thus it may be seen that the later-bought wools are at a basis which means a scoured cost consider ably higher than that on which the supplies bought early are now being secured by man ufacturers." W1IKAT OFFFJFlr:i; ".BYJTOCNTRY MILLS Scramble- to Sell In California, the Ouly Mtrkct. Demoralizes Prices. The wheat market continues quiet and eak. There is a little demand for wheat In California, but thi. is the only outlet, and a scramble to depose there of the rem nants that are- left has demoralized prices. More or less of the wheat that is being of . Jered is coming from country mills. Club Is held to be worth about S5 or S6 cents locally.- The new -crop market Is slow in opening. A little wheat has been bought on the basis of SO cents for early shipment.

The local list followed London's lead, that market recording a majority of substantial gains for our securities.
