THE MORNING! OREGONIAN, SATURDAY. SEPTraiRER 19. 1D14. 17 PRUNE CROP SAVED Harvest in Northwest Not Af fected by Rain. BULK IS PICKED EARLY low Prices Prevailing in All Lines or Dried Fruits, Owing: to War. Oregon Evaporated Apple Output Will Be Large. The Oregon prune crop la being harvested ami cured In a generally satisfactory man ner. The rain may cause some Carnage, but it will be slight, as the crop was early this year and Ine larger part of it was In before the rains started. Because of the mall yield the large drying capacity of the growers will enable them to take care of the prunes quickly. Those growers whose crops are not al ready under contract are not Inclined to talk business until they are through dry ing. The Oregon-Washington yield of dried prunes is estimated at 8.000,000 pounds. "Without any export trade, this will be suf ficient to take care of the demand In the United States until another r.rop Is raised. The market Is exceedingly dull and packers are making no effort to secure additional supplies. California advices are of a very quiet market for prunes and all other dried fruits. The California prune crop Is now estimated at 85,000,000 pounds. It, Is believed that the prune crops in Bosnia and Servia will be harvested, but the governments will not ajlow any of the prunes to leave the country as long as the war continues. A letter from Budapest, Cited July 30. just as the war was begin ning, said: "Business has come to an entire stand still. It Is to be expected that If the war against Servia is not ended by September a very small part of the prune crop win be dried, owing to lack of people to handle It. Only moderate quantities of Bosnian-Servian prunes of the new crop have been sold up to this time, and those at declining prices. Now there are no ofTers. It Is probable that for some time there will be no business at all. It will depend on the war what the further development of business will be and vhut will be the fate of the prune harvest."' Stocks of dried fruit at London on July 81, as reported by the London rled Fruit Association, were: Prunes and plums: French. H cases and boxes. 2000: Servian and Bosnian, Vt cases 1251. cases and boxes 811; California and Oregons, cases 7-lt, U cases and boxes 13.7o3. Dried apri cots, packages, 991". Dried peaches, pack ages. G025. Evaporated apples, boxes 360, Mi boxes 073. All cured fruits are selling on a low plane this year. A letter received yester day by a Portland Jobber from one of the largest dried fruit concerns In California quoted choice apricots in 25-pound boxes, faced, at 8H cents. This fruit had been sold to German buyers early In the season at 12 cents, but could not be delivered. Peaches are equally low, standards in 60 pound boxs being quoted at 4 cents. Evaporated apples will run considerably cheaper than last year, current .quotations In the Coast and Eastern markets being about 5 cents to the grower for 00-pound boxes. Preparations are being made for an active drying campaign In Oregon, and more . apples will be dried In this state than ever ' before. Slow markets for all commodities in this line are expected as long as the war lasts. After peace Is declared Improvement in prices and trade may be looked for. ENGLANIVS SUGAR PURCHASES LARGE British Government Haa Bought Over Half Million Tons. Continued weakness of the raw sugar mar ket at New Tork was reported In yesterday's wires. A letter from London, dated August 29. said of the sugar situation there: "Here business through the usual chan nels has ceased, as the private Interests have necessarily to stand aside while the very extensive purchases continue to be made on government account. The quan tity bought in the various markets is re ported to be 500.000 to 600,000 tons, the greater portion consisting of Javas. As the bulk of these purchases are for forward delivery there Is a feeling of uncertainty whether there may not be an actual scarcity of refined sugar in the immediate future. Two of the Greenock refineries are already closed for want of supplies, but it Is under stood that part of the Liverpool stock, which ta more abundant, will be trans ferred to make up the Greenock deficiency Unless there is a large falling off in con sumption it is Inevitable that instead of my stoppage of our refineries being ad visable their fullest working capacity will be taxed to the utmost, and even then this will prove Inadequate to supply the refined ugar required. We therefore think that before long- you may find an urgent demand for refined for shipment to this side." Mn.LFEEl) MARKET IS STRONGER Wheat Steady. With Fair Business at Coun "" ' try Points. The wheat market was steady yesterday. Not much business was done locally, but there was buying In the country on, the basis of the prices that have been ruling here for several days.

Tokay Grapes Lower. There is a better demand for apples on the street, particularly for good stock, which Is now more in evidence. Low prices this year should mean a very hsavy local consumption. Fine Fall apples are avail able on Front street at 1 to 11.25 a box, fruit similar to that which brought 1.60 and over last year. A car of Tokay grapes arrived and they were offered slightly lower at S 1O1.10 a crate. Other California grapes were un changed in price. Malagas have cleaned up, but another car Is due Monday.

Sentiment Strengthened by Develop, mnts In Financial Situation, bat Operators Are Cautious. NEW YORK?, Sept. 18. Dun's Review to morrow will say: Hesitancy in entering on new commitments continues and a spirit of caution Is every where manifested, yet the confident feel ing In business circles is maintained. Sentiment is strengthened by developments in the financial situation, a favorable im pression being created by the further im provement in foreign exchange and the action taken with a view to meeting ma turing obligations abroad. Considerable gold has already been shipped to Canada for this purpose, and it is evident ' that banking In terests here are actively engaged In the ef fort to restore more normal monetary con ditions. The prevailing high rates for accommoda tion still exert a restraining Influence on trade expansion, but moderate progress is noted in various leading lines, especially In the Eastern and Western sections of the country.

EUROPE BUYS WHEAT Large Operations in East Put Strength Into Market. ALL MONTHS CLOSE HIGHER Crest of Crop Movement in Spring Wheat Belt Said to Have Been Beached Corn Sold for Shipment to France. CHICAGO, Sept. 18. Persistent reports of European business at the seaboard and gulf and of good sales here to foreigners put considerable strength today Into wheat. Al though the feeling at the end was rather nervous, the market showed an advance of 114c to ISc net. Corn finished ,c to lHc up. oats with a gain of 14 to 14 c and pro visions unchanged to 12 lie higher. Except for a brief period soon "after the opening, the wheat market throughout was subject to bullish control. It was said ex port transactions for the day aggregated 1,000,000 bushels. At .ne aame time there were advices that farmers were selling less freely. Signs were not wanting that the crest of the movement of the crop In the Spring wheat belt had been reached. Predictions were made that terminal arrivals from North Dakota would soon decrease to a material extent. On the other hand, country offer ings from the Winter wheat section ap peared to enlarge a little on the bulge. Corn trade lacked volume, but the market hardened with wheat and as a result of sales said to have been made at New York for shipment to France. A temporary break early was due In part to pressure put on the market by a leading elevator concern. Despite a sagging tendency at first, the oats trade broadened out later because of a renewal of seaboard demand. Some ex porters were said to have paid the highest figures so far on the crop. Support from one of the larger packers rallied provisions and more than overcame weakness due to a break In the price of hogs. Buying was confined chiefly to Octo ber lard.'

This will be presented to the Commis sion for passage. If the Commislon is unwilling to pass the measure It will be asked to refer it to the voters un der the initiative. BRIDGE RENTAL ATTACKED Commissioner Daly Fights Renewal of Lease With O.-W. R. & X. Declaring that the O.-W. K. & N. Company was required by the Federal Government to erect the upper deck of the new steel bridge, and that It is un fair for the company to require the city to pay full price for the maintenance, operation and financial obligations in volved. City Commissioner Daly yester day opposed a plan submitted by Com missioner Dieck to enter Into another two-year contract with the company for the rental of the bridge on a basis simi lar to that In force during the past two years. Commissioner Dieck's plan is to have Uxa finimtj aUm avac tbm maintenance of the bridge, thus cutting down the cost to the city of about $13,000 a year. "The Federal Government," said Com missioner Daly, "refused to permit the erection of the bridge unless an upper deck was constructed. When the upper deck was constructed the company in sisted that It was for the benefit of the city, and insisted upon the city paying 5 per cent on the cost of the upper deck. The cost was $821,000. I believe this is unfair, and 1 favor not only forc ing the company to take over the main tenance of the bridge, but also cutting down the rental materially." The matter was laid over until Thurs day, when a special meeting of the City Commission, the Board of County Com missioners and officials of the railway company will be held at the City Hall. In the meantime City Attorney L Roche -will investigate the question of the Government requiring the construc tion of the upper deck of the bridge. The present contract for the use of the bridge expires October 10.. Commis sioner Daly says he will favor the city discontinuing use of the bridge unless the company will agree to cut the rental. TRADE AT YARDS ACTIVE GOOD BUN OF ALL CLASSES OF LIVESTOCK. Hogs Are Lower "With SS.25 Top Price of Day Better Quality of Cattle Received- There was a good run of stock at the yards yesterday and buying was active throughout the day. Hog prices were lower, but other lines held steady. Buyers would not offer over 18.25 for the best hogs, and this price was established as the top for the day's market. Heavy hog prices had a similar decline. There was improvement In the quality as well as quantity of cattle offered. One load of prime 1100-pound steers brought $7.25, and another loan went at $7. The bulk of steer sales were at 8.70 to $6.85. Qood cows sold at S6 and $6.13 and other lines at prevailing prices. Business in the Bheephouse was limited to the sale of a bunch of lambs at $3.30.

JURY EAVORS JOHN BRADY $50-00 Awarded Man for False Ar rest on Burglary Charge. Damages of $6000 for false arrest were granted by a jury yesterday to John Brady, who sued J. W. Hurley and Rose Hurley, his wife, for $25,000. The plaintiff was arrested some time ago for burglary alleged to have been com mitted in the house of the two defend ants. Mr. Brady was taken to Munici pal Court, where he was given a hear ing, and was bound over to the grand jury, which dismissed the charge. It was charged by the counsel for the plaintiff that he had perfected a process for tempering copper, and a plot existed whereby it was sought to have him sent to prison on the burglary charge so that his secret formula could be stolen. Judge Cleeton allowed 10 days tor an application for a new trial. GOLD POOL FAVORED Bankers 'Believe It Would Fortify Credits Abroad.

Taking this low figure as a basis, exchange is down about 6 cents from the week's highest level, and more than 10 cents since the first of the month. This points strongly to a return of lainy normal money conditions between XNew xork ana London ere long. An indubitable sign of improvement in rto. mestio securities was found on the retire ment of call loans, which had hung over the past fortnight. There were also freer acceptances of commercial paper by Interior oanas. Sentiment amonr bankers favors ti np. ganlzation of the $130,000,000 nirt txo1 which was temporarily abandoned at the suggestion of the Federal Reserve Board when local banking institutions agreed to finance this city's maturing debts abroad. It is felt that the plan, which involves the as sistance of inland banks, would-strongly fortify this country's credits in Europe and ir iittie, ir any, additional gold ex ports. Moderate shipments of gold to Canada were made, but they had little bearing on the city loan. Banks In the Dominion were again offering money here at 6 per cent, but the character of the collateral demanded mh so sign as to be almost prohibitive.

Pupils la Mount Scott Not Imaase to Be Excluded From Schools During Period of Incubation. The city health department will not Dae, up on its order that all children in the four schools in the Mount Scott aistnct must De vaccinated or remain out of schnfil fnp t .i ing to announcement made yesterday by City Health Officer Marcellus. He says that to comnlv in vfrv rAnA with the law in the case he and the scnooi mectical inspectors have ar ranged to make further investigation of each Individual child In the schools Monday. Each child not having a certificate to the effect that he or she has had smallpox or has been vaccinated will be required to give his address. This eiammea ana compared with addresses where there has been small pox in the last ttwr woira living anywhere near any place where 11 cv a uwn Bxnanpox wilt De ex cluded 'from school for the - remainder of the week. This, Dr. Marcellus says, will mean vinuauy taat every child In the dis trict will be excluded unless vaccinated, because it is th nnlnlnn nf tv. .nk I medical inspectors that virtually the euuro mount Bcoit district has been ex posed to smallpox In one way or an other. One week nf thA wn smallpox incubation period has expired and that will mean that the excluded children will have to remain away irom scnooi only one week longer. "In taking this action." mm rr cellus, "we are not changing our stand on the vaccination matter. As Health Officer it ia mv ri nt v tn h ...v. n . t think Is necessary for the preservation tnw uun in ine uount scott dis trict and in the city at large. Some peopie 00 not Deiieve in vaccination. I do. and I consider It mv Hntv tA ,wn- tect the health by requiring persons to become immune or stay away from danger of an epidemic It Is not so much for the protection of the chil dren of people who do not believe in Mtiuauon as 11 is tor the protection of thA cilv a liirff "It has been said that the majority of people in Mount Scott do not favor the city's action In this matter. I have received dozens of telephone calls to day to the effect that that Is not the case. I cannot see any great hardship in eniorcing tne precautionary order when you consider the danger of a spread of disease."
