The Douglas county prune market opened today with several buyers in the field. The opening price was 8 cents on a basis of 30-35's, with a straight quarter-cent drop on each size down to 60-55's. There was then a one-cent drop to 65-60's and a half- cent drop on smaller sizes. Competi tion among buyers is to be very keen this year, it is believed, and it is thought that the price will be strengthened. Growers are well pleased with the opening price, which is higher than was expected, but are not satisfied with the drop on smaller sizes, which makes their small fruit of little value. Doug-las county's crop will be heavier than normal, it is believed, but without a rain soon, the size of the fruit will run small.

GRAIN TRADERS SUBMIT SPKCITIj ATOFLS "BOW TO FORCE OF FVUiLJO OP1SIOX." Read of Chicago Exchange Com ments on Control Bill Just Passed by Senate. WASHINGTON. D. C, Aug. 9. The Capper-Tincher grain trading control bill passed the senate today. It now goes to conference. As it passed the house the bill im posed a prohibitive tax upon puts and calls and other speculative transac tions, and also upon exchanges which do not become "contract markets," under government supervision. It also admitted co-operative associations to membership upon exchanges. The principal senate amendments propose to modify the records which members and exchanges must make of all transactions to be available to the secretary of agriculture, who may suspend members under certain con ditions, provide' for government pub licity of investigations as conducted and business transacted, permit co operative associations to rebate com missions and release sales of cash grain for deferred shipment from the operation of the act. In a statement issued after the passage of the bill, Joseph P. Griffin, president of the Chicago board of trade, said that, while the legislation was not considered necessary, in view of public sentiment for the regu latory measure, the grain exchanges would ""bow to the great force of public opinion." He added that the senate amend ments had removed from the bill many "unfair and burdensome condi tions." $3000 Rug Oriered for $150. CHICAGO. Aug. 9. Lyle A.
