PLENTY OF FRUIT
Early California Varieties Will
Be Abundant.
AMD PRICES REASONABLE
More Activity in the Local Hop Mar
ket Kastf rn Oregon Sheep Win
tered AVell Country Pro
duce is Very Slow.
Ths local market will be abundantly
supplied with early California fruits
this liptuon, and from the present indi
rations it may be said that the prices
that will prevail will be lower tuna
last year. "The California fruit harvest
proniisss to be large, though a little
later than usual. The trade has re-f-Mvcd
the following information on
this subject from the California Fruit
distributors, of Sacramento:
"As a foreword to the general crop
Wu-r which we send out every year in
.April, giving exact conditions and pros
jx'CtB for deciduous fruits in California
for the season, we desire to say that,
t tlii-a writing, general conditions In
California are very promising in all
respects in all districts.
"The season, however, will be a few
clays" later than normal, but it is possi
ble, with a continuation of the pleasant
-weather we are now having, to regain
considerable in that respect. The season
thu far is a little deficient in annual
rainfall, but with the very heavy rains
of last season and normal conditions
from now on, there will be a sufficiency
of moisture to mature all crops.
"This company will operate in all
respects this year as in the past. There
wre two or three smaller companies,
not heretofore operating with' us. who
will affiliate, and Mr. C. M. Hartley, of
Hartley Bros., has tendered his resig
nation as a director. . Otherwise all
enn tracts have been signed up and
cvt rything will go on as usual.
"Am before advised, props o,f all va
r1t.t:M promise well at this writing.
nd we sinerely hope that we shall
have normal crops of all varieties and
that we shall .be able to supply the
wants of ull our pa.trons with strictly
first-class goods and at reasonable
prices."
In a recent interview with a repre
sentative of California Krult Grower,
Oeorge B. Katze nstein, manager of the
Karl Fruit Company, expressed him
self as of the opinion tha.t the outlook
for a deciduous fruit crop in California
was never better, the "Winter having
been almost ideal in every particular.
Mr. Katzensteln's reports indicate the
finest of conditions up to the present
time In all varieties, and unles very
severe frost should be experienced, he
looks for a bumper crop In most lines.
The cherry crop promises big and apri
cots will turn out a large crop from
present prospects. This will be wel
come information as for the pat two
years the apricot crop has ben prac
tically a failure in California. Mr.
Katzensiein, however, does not antici
pate anything like the prices for fruit
obtained last year. Conditions last
reason were especially favorable for
California fruit, fruit everywhere else
being scarce and the purchasing power
of the country being abnormally high.
Coupled with this many of the lines in
California were short.
OKMiON PKUXKS STRONGER IN' EAST
Jt mewed lenuwd Gamin aa irptrard Move
In Prior.
According to the New York Journal of
Commerce of recent date, renewed de
mand, coupled with advices from the
Coast, imparted a stronger tone to the
market for Oregon Italian prunes, the im
provement being contlned chiefly to 3i)-40s.
StockM of these are becoming small In the
Kust and none Is offered for shipment
from the Coast. Sales were reported at
Tlc, an advance of a quarter of a cent
over the price generally quoted earlier In
the week. Still higher prices are looked
tor. The Coast market for such stock as
remains is higher, the f. o. b. bag basis
"w being 3V. with some holders want
ing V-v.
California prunes, of the larger sizes,
i o unsettled and e.usy in New York
owing to the anxiety of some holders to
-U'im V)x The sale of a car of 30-40s
Santa Clara whs reported at 7i. it hav
ing been distributed among a number of
buyers. Most holders of Santa Clara stock
want 71 V- for this size. According to
some tmde authorities the demand for
California prunes is increasing through
out the country and with stocks far be
low a normal working supply for this
timo of the year, they expect a much
stronger if not a higher market in the
near future.

AetUe Ikemnnd for Creamery Butter and
Old hee.
Kuslness dragged in the Country pro
duce line. Kgss were received freely and
while some houses cleaned up on out-of-town
orders, others were obligttl to carry
over a considerable supply. Selling was
mainly at ir to ir,t cents with only a few
mlrs in single cases reported at 16c. The
demand for poultry was slow and mod
erate receipts alone enabled former prices
to bo maintained.
Butter continues in active demand and
the creameries and rommUsion-houses
find It difficult to secure enough to sup
ply their trade. The market Is very firm,
but In vrew of- tht low prices at San
3'rancisco, quotations here cannot be
chanijcd.
There fs a strong inquiry for old cheese
ami supplies of 1 twins are running out

California, potatoes if the present favor

J. D. MvKennon, according to the J -A
Orande tNserx-er. is fUliner an order of
H carloads of potatoes for the Missouri

that will have to tlnd an outside market
and It begins to look a little brighter for
the growers.

The last few days has seen a con

was done around 4c. In its general
features the situation is not changed,
the demand principally coming from
the export trade.

300 bales of Oregons at prices ranging

three cars of oranges and a mixed car
of lemons and grapefruit. Trade was
of the usual Saturday character. Small

NEW YORK, March 21. The Finan
cier will say:
The statement of the associated
banks of the City of New York for
the week ending March 31 showed,
under the old system of averages cov
ering the six day3'operations, a gain
in cash amounting- to $9,322,100, while
loans remained almost stationary. De
posits increased $10,250,600 and the
reserves rose $0,759,375.
The report of state banks and trust
companies of Greater New York, not
affiliated with the clearing-house,
shows substantial increases in loans
and deposits, with a small falling off
in cash. The total net deposits of the
clearing-house and non-clearing-house
banks and trust companies now stand
at $1,809,000,000, while the loans of the
same Institutions are approximately
$1,937,000,000.
The actual reserve of New York
clearing-house banks on Friday was
18.56 per cent, the reserve of the state
bank outside the clearing-house 22.97
per cent, and the reserve of the trust
companies 27.11 per cent.
. As there seems to be nothing to
cause much of a loan expansion In the
Immediate future, beyond the proba
bility of stock exchange speculation,
the reserves of the banks will probably
continue to show slight increases for
some time to come, except as they may
be affected by. the repayment to the
Government of public deposits already
noted. -

Advance Caused by the Favorable
Trade Keport of the Corporation.
Profit-Taking Brings About
an Kusy Closing. .
NE7W YORK, March 2L .United Statea
Steel was the mainstay of the stock mar
ket today. The large accumulation of
that stock carried it to the highest price
of the year, allowing for the '.j per cent
dividend, which came off the price tills
week. The contents of the pamphlet re
port of the company, issued yesterday,
were responsible for this demonstration,
especially those passages dealing with the
conditions in the trade since the first of
the year. A notable impression was made
ty the official assuranc there given that
the rate of expansion In the average daily
orders coming in for March was as great
as it had been successively in January
and February over the depth of the December-depression.
The anxiety of the
earlier part of the week, caused by re
ports from Pittsburg that the revival of
the steel trade was halting, was allayed
by this Information. Sustained revival in
the steel trade is accepted as a reliable
barometer of the tendency of the whole
Industrial situation. Hencs the strong
sentiment produced by this news. Indus
trial . securities shared most of the
strength of United States Steel.
The strength of the railroad list was
most conspicuous in a few stocks which
are favorite mediums of speculative ac
tivity. Some of the prominent railroad
stocks were not fully responsive to the
rise.
The weekly reviews of the mercantile
agencies gave conservative encourage
ment to the hopeful spirit prevalent in
the stock market.
The expectation of a message from the
President dealing with economic and la
bor conditions again came into sight as
a factor in the market.
The strength in United States Steel was
well maintained but the general list
showed plainly the effects of profit-taking
before the end of the short session
and the close was easy. .
The bank returns prpved to be fully as
strong as was expected but account was
taken of the requirement for the return
of an installment of Government de
posits on Monday which will call for a
sum of over $21,000,000 from the banks of
the country. New York banks are likely
to be called on to meet more than their
proportionate share of this call by draiis
from the interior correspondents for pay
ments to the Government.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par
value, $1,820,000.
United States 4s, regular, have declined
.per cent on call during the week.

Trince of Monaco -Abandons. Visit to
Italian King.
ROMS; March 2L The King of Italy
yesterday received a telegram from the
Prince of Monaco, saying he regretted
that his doctors in consultation had in
formed him he was not well enough to
come to Rome to deliver his proposed
lecture on oceanography, covering the re
sults of his mora recent explorations in
the North.
This is the official version of why the
Prince has decided not to visit King Vic
tor Emmanuel. It was originally planned
for him to come here in February and he
was going to visit the King and Queen of
Italy .nd the Queen mother and deliver
his lecture before returning. The matter
of the visit of this Catholic Prince has
been followed with deep interest by the
Vatican because of the prohibition placed
by the Vatican upon all Catholic rulers
from visiting the Quirinal during any so
journ they may make in Rome. Conse
quently the church was opposed to the
coming of the Prince and exerted its in
fluence to stop him. it has been success
ful, for as a matter of fact the Prince
decided not to come here on account of
the opposition presented by the Vatican.
The outcome is regarded as a great vic
tory for the church and the course de
cided upon. by the Prince will give great
offense to the Quirinal. -
