Vry Little Wool Coming,

been very slow In coming to far during
the present season, the growers in the

tone In the market and higher prevail

the utmost.
With the advent of better weather con

.. ... Wheat Crop Prospects.
Although.it Is not expected at this
tlm that there 'will be a very large
ahortage In the wheat crop of the state,
till it is aald on the very .best of
authority that the early end late rains
- have done considerable Injury and that
av yield one-third under that of the pre
vlous season would not be considered
4 very bad with the present prospects In
view.
Shorter- In German Wheat.
A late cable from Berlin says: "The

ever known, and, with the exception of

be needed. The official report shows a
- . worse -ooinlltioR -than was expected',

From the various reliable sources the
Information' Is gained that the Bop yards
In the vicinity of Aurora, Hubbard,
Woodburn. : Gervala. Mount , Angel . and
the Sllverton districts will have very
poor yields during the coming season.
In the district named many hills are
showing, up missing, and the shortage
la now looked upon aa even greater than
'was a,t first reported. Even those yards
that will hare their ordinary yields in
pounds will show a very poor quality
i f stock. In some of the Other sections
of the state prospects are better And,
taken altogether, the yield this year is
expected to be about one-tblrd of that
of normal years.
- About Hop Quotations.
The bulls and bears ar fighting their
fight Into the last' ditch, and there is
very little likelihood of much higher
'prices prevailing In the market for some
time. The statement of the twofac-
tiona are slightly mixed, the bears still
. saying that the price will not show any
furthw advance, while the bulls, or
growers, point with' pride to the asser
tion that 23 cents was offered and re-
... fused, at Salem recently.
Bulla Market aad Sella Vndtr.
' Some of the larger dealers In the coun
try are sending out circulars, principally
to the growers of the Northwest, in an
- effort to bull the market. One of these
same dealers claims that' hops are worth
jmuch more than they are at present
quoted, and that if the growers of the
Oregon-Washington pool hang together
they will be able to obtain 30 or even
49 cents before the new crop is ready
for shipment.

indications -at this time point to t'tie i
hop crop of the entire Northwest being
tbout 25 per cent short of normal sea
tons. Reports from the 8tate of Wash
Jngton are to' the effect that the hop
yards are in a very bad shape. The sea
aon is now nearly a month later than
usual, which faft in due to the ex
tremely backwarfl ftyring. Many of the

There is plenty of mutton In the local

That the fruit crop of this state will
be one of the largest and finest In Ore.
gon's history la the opinion of experts
from every section of the common
wealth. ,
Hon. E. U Smith of Hood River,
president of the State Board of Hortl
culture, was in the city this morning,
and whenever the subject of this aeg'
son's fruit crop waa mentioned, ha
would smile in a manner that showed
he expected big things In this line,
When asked regarding Hood River's
famoua berries. Mr. Smith said:
The strawberry crop up our Way is
one of the finest In the memory of any
living Hood River man or woman. It la
nearly double what It waa two years
ago, and still the demand is at least Ave
times greater than the aupply. Ordera
from New York. Pennsylvania and the
New England States for carload lota
keep coming so rapidly that It Is Im
possible to attempt to flU one-half of
them.
"At the present time, four carloads
are being shipped East every evening,
besides the many hundred crates that
are) aent to local Oregon markets to ap
pease the strawberry hunger that every
Webfooter seems to possess. Just now,
the shipments are light, compared to
what they will be the middle of next
week. Then, about a dosen carloads
will be shipped to points outside the
state, while the local demands will also
be greater thsn ever.
"Owing to the cool weather, that thla
section of the country has been enjoy
ing during the past few weeks, our ber
ries are of a very fine quality, being
larger than usual and sweeter. A small
army of pickers Is now at work gather
ing in the fruit as quickly as It ripens.
in order that not a box of it ahall be
kept from the market any longer than
can -be helped.
Other Oreron rruit AU Sight.
'Eom what I know of the fruit crop
throughout the 'state, I believe I am
correct In saying that It will be a ban
ner one. There will be millions of
bushels of apples that have made Ore
gon . famoua, and the shippers of them
are already receiving large orders from
all sections of the -United States and
Europe. The floods and storms that
have recently played such havoc in the
fruit-go-owlng districts of the Middle
West "ha. ve caused the Eastern dealers
and commission men to look to the land
"Where Roll the Oregon,' for the much
needed filling for apple pies and dump
lings. '
"In sdme sections of the - state the
cherry irop will be lighter than waa J
predicted several weeks ago, The jata
raina and frosts did not help this crop
FRUIT TRADE IN FRANCE
Writing on the. subject of blasted
rruit crops in France. Consul B. II.
Rldgely of Nantes says: This district Is
famous for Its white wine. The Mus
cadet la of the Jlneat quality, and $0
per cent of the vlnea producing this
wine are estimated to be lost; of the
gross plant, the famous vln ordinaire of
the country, SO per cent is lost; of the
early crop of petlts pols (peas). It la
estimated that $S 1-3 per cent la lost
The whole crop of the early potatoes
also is lost. Of fruits it is stated that
90 per cent Of the peaches, 9( per cent
of apricots and 80 per cent of plums
are lost, while the apples, pears and
rherrlea have suffered to soma extent,
but much leaa.
Opportunity lor Amerioaas.
It seems to me that the opportunity
ror exporting rresh fruits, auch as ap
ples peaches and pears,, from the
rnlted Statea to France during the
approaching summer Is well worth con
slderlng. Fresh fruits are relatively
dear In France, and owing to the largely
aecreaaea production prices will be al
moat prohibitive. If our fruits could
be landed here in fairly good condition.
there would undoubtedly be a big d
mand for them at good prices. The
dutlea on fresh fruits are small, from
68 to 7 centa per 100 kilograms (220
pounds) and there are no other entnr
cnargea or importance. If our fruit

FRENCH FRUIT DAMAGED
Writing from Bordeaux under a late
date. United States Consul Tourgee,
who is stationed there, says: "All fruit,
with the exception of pears. Is said to
be absolutely destroyed. The most Im
portant in this connection la the failure
of the French prune crop, the destruc
tion 6f which Is reported to be prac
tically complete, and as this follows the
poor crop of last year, the country Is
without any reserve supplies, except
whst may be left of last season's im
portations from California. 8hould the
failure of this, crop be aa sweeping as
now indicated, It will be a fact of decided
Interest to California prune growers
and dealers.
As the other fruits which are prepared
here in large quantities have also been
destroyed, thousands of laborers will be
thrown out of employment. There will
probably be an increased demand for
the better qualities of dried aDDles.
There will of necessity be a scarcity of
otner rruit products which are largely
exported to the United Statea, such as
cherries, apricots, etc. Following aa
this does two years of scarcity of ear
dines on the French coasts, it Is very
nam on the packing Industry of this
section.
Cereals and forage plants throughout
Houtnwest France are serloualy Injured.
The clover Is out very badly and the
hay crop will be short. The same la
said to be true of wheat, rye, and pos
sibly oats. The amount of thla short
age cannot now be estimated.
It is also reported that the walnut
crop is seriously injured, but I doubt
if it was sufficiently advanced to make
the report reliable.

The following letter Is being held at
labor headquarters, and will probably
be Introduced as evidence by the union
men In the suits which have al
ready been UU1 and are expected to be
against the mill owners and master
associations of this city. The letter
.waa brought here by a young man who
recently arrived from Bay Mills, Mich.
11 Is in answer to n letter which he
sent to Portland Inquiring about the
labor conditions on -the Pacific . Coast
and what the opportunities are to get
w-rtt here. Samuel Connell, manager
of the Oregon Bash & Door Factory,
is tho author, and It reads as follows:
"Replying to your favor of the. "Dtli.
would say tlmt owing to the fact that
there have been two stock fa -torses,
burned down recently, there are per
haps as many men here as can Ue used.
These factories are, however, lebttlld
lng, and will be ready to operate by tho
first of April; at that time we believe
that good men will be in demand. :
"The wages paid for sash and door
hands are from 26 cents to 80 cent per
hour, and all factories are non-union
and operate 10 hours the year round.
"If you -come West, call and Heo ,u.
and we - will ' endeavor "to . glvetyou v a '
situation,"
TM young man came, . but after
fniitles search for work . he
turned the letter over to officers of tJi
Building Trades Council. ,
"If that letter is not a glaring ml- v
representation of facts and a flagrant A
violation of the law,'.' says H. 3.
Greene, business agent of . the Council,
"I don't i know what other interpreta
tion you would give .lt. It will prob
ably be 'determined by the- courts
Whether or not this kind of work can
be carried on with Impunity."
