PACKERS WOW PAY 9 CENTS l)omand From East lias Not Vet .Developed Government Likely to Kcquirc Large Supply Here. Crop Estimate Kcduccd. -Prune packers ar now out with offers to buy Oregon prunes at 9 cents, but there re not many to buy, as the crop is well out of first hands. There Is no demand t present from the East, but the packers re willing to uke on what they can get la the expectation that the demand will develop before long. 'rop estimates for Oregon have been, re duced and it is now figured the state will not have over HO.Otto.OOO pounds, as against the bumper yield of nearly 42.UO0.0O0 pounds produced last year. The crop this easoa is hardly up to the average for eariier years. The long dry Summer spell cut It down. lryi:igr is under way at a number of points. Throughout the Valley the sizes are running small, but la Clarke County large sirs predominate. The lof-al trade anticipates considerable business for Government account this Fall, as t he Army camps in this section are ex pected to use only supplies produced here. Conditions in the Kastern market are de scribed in trade reports just at hand from .New York as follows: "Exporters are already inquiring for new crop prunes and were in the market yes terday for 40s to 60s. The local trade, how ever, u as disinclined to make any quota tions for the range at this time because of the temporary scarcity of 40s. Telegrams from the Coast yesterday suggested to buyers the advisability of not insisting on September-October delivery of the. larger aizes. inasmuch as early deliveries to pack ers are practically all small sizes, which, of course, is a natural accompaniment of st large crop. This is further reflected in the fact that the unusual condition exists this year of a premium of M;C on r.Os to 60s. While there is no urgent spot demand at t h is moment, the recent offerings by the merger of 30s to 40s have been pretty well cleaned up, and there is a possibility there fore in connection with the late deliveries f the larger sizes from the Coast that there will be an urpent demand here for 4s. These were quoted yesterday at llic on the spot. It was said that Northern prunes were already on tha way here.'" TV II EAT BUYING MAY START SOOX Dealers Expect Movement May I? eg in Next Week. Tiral grain dealers are making no effort t buy wheat, and nothing will be done in this line until tho Government policy fa announced. The trade hopes that tho nusl tiegn will be In full working order by next Week. California is likely to take more wheat out of the North west than lat Reason, as neither Kastern wheat nor flour will come West. The increased milling in the South ern state may provide all tho mill feed Herded there". As the Northwest will turn cut a great quantity of mill fed this "Win ter, the closing of tho California outlet is exacted to have a depressing1 effect on feed prices her. The oati market was steady and barley was weak. The recent flurry in tho barley niarket was ascribed to buying by Kastern maltsters, who wera alarmed by threatened front damage. Willi the passing of the danger the buying ha a eubsided and the Coast markets are now sagging. Eastern mrn bids at the local exchange were firmer. Weather conditions In the Middle "West, in wired from Chicago: "Nebraska. Iowa, Kansas, fair, belt unsettled, light frost. 'Wis consin, Minnesota and Indiana, light frost. Nebraska., light frost, warmer extreme west, cooler eastern part. Topeka had 3.40 Inches r rain last night.'" Terminal receints In cars were reported, by the Merchants' Kxchange as follows: M'tlT.t RarlcvT'loiir Ont TTnv j'ortiann wea. . -i Year ago 1 Featon to date. r.r Year ago lli'. Taeoma lues...

Shippers who hold loaded car at yards hile deciding on their final destination contribute Importantly to the shortage In transportation, according to tho bureau of .markets, of the United States Department of Agriculture. Specialists who studied con ditions at the Potomac yards, Virginia, for to days last Hummer found that 2rJ cars of perishable commodities were held on the average of 44 hours each by shippers or consignees before Issuing orders to move the cars. No car held for less than 24 hours was counted. A car of cabbage was held 78 hours, a car of watermelons 84 hours, a car of cucumbers 104 hours, a car cf potutoes 128 hours and a car of tomatoes 213 hours. These facts make- clear that shippers th rough these yards a re' aburlng their di ver ton privilege and are wasting much car pace by not keeping their cars moving. The remedy is to file diversion orders in ad vance of arrival. As Potomac Yards Is only one of hundreds of important diver sion points, the waste, the specialists point out, is significant and without compensating advantage to owners.

CALL LOANS REMAIN HIGH Steel Is Weakest Feature of Indus trials Coalers Are Under Con stant Pressure Domestic Bonds Also Tend Ixwer. NEW YORK, Sept. 2ft. Increasing money stringency was the determining factor in today's reactionary session of the stock mar ket. Call loans opened at tl per cent, that rate prevailing until Khortly before the close, when it dropped to 5 per cent. Stocks, moved irregularly the greater part of the day, but fell back generally in the last hour. Industrials and other leaders pointing the way. United States Steel, which again contrib uted a large quota to the day's operations, fell from 12 to 110 and closed at 110lii. a net loss of 25, points. Many other Indus trials and coppers were reduced to a like extent. Rails at no time evidenced any of the previous day's firmness, the coal group be ing under constant pressure with New York Central, St. Paul and other grangers. Pools renewed their activity In minor spe cialties, but failed to attract a following. Moderate, gains were scored by Ohio Oas. Distillers Securities and Malting preferred. Total salen amounted to 65. OUO shares. Probability of a Government loan to Haiti and shipment of (500,0011 gold to Can ada embraced the financial interests of the day. Uomestlc bonds tended mostly lower. Lib erty HhB moved in the narrow groove of par to 100.02. Total (sales, par value, aggregated $4.755,ooo. United States, old issues, were unchanged on call.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2C. Authoritative ad vices that the corn crop as a whole was pro gressing well and that a good portion was already out of danger from frost did much today to weaken values. The close, although unsettled, was c to llic net lower at $1.21 for December and $1.18 for May. Oats showed a setback of Hc to lc. Pro visions soared beyond all previous records and finished at gains of 25c to S2c. Subsidence of demand for immediate de livery was the chief feature of the oats market. Big advances In the provision market were associated with reported heavy pur chasing of meats for Government account. Moreover, continued scarcity of hog ar rivals here and at other centers has re sulted In depletion of stocks.
