Most of the receipts have been Of very small slse; very poor color and mild taste. rew or them have shown the usual first-class keeping qualities of the cherries that Oregon Is famous for. ; . How to account for this Is a. mystery to the trade, unless weather conditions during the past erratlo spring can be held guilty and whenever nothing: else can be found the weather Is always nure to receive more than Its share ol the blame. . " ' ' However. ! climatlo conditions "vere euch this spring that cherries could not mature properly. When the time came 1or the blossom to go Into the fruit it was the weather-conditions that caused a large loss at the start For awhile the fruit grew In fine shape. Then all t once cooler weather came -on and . checked Its growth suddenly. Then again a hot spell came along and began to ripen the fruit too fast; this con lltion being v followed again by warm weather and then vice versa.. Every single one of these sudden changes In climatic conditions brought about the downfall Of a certain amount of the cherry crop. When the time came Tor the fruit to ripen it began to fall in large numbers from the trees, and the big bumper crop that so many had pre dicted turned out to be a very ordinary affair after all. To some extent these big crop reports came from the cannery men, who by this means wanted 'to Im press upon the growers that .prices should be lower. Selfish in Their Estimates. That these reports of heavy cherry productions were spread by the cannery men for the sole purpose of bringing down the price Ideas of the growers Is a certainty. All of them wanted to buy supplies as cheaply as possiblo and by talking a heavy crop wherever they went thev hoped to accomplish their purpose. While It la quite possible that Oregon will produce, quite a fair crop of late cherries. It Is now a certainty that the early fruit will show but small volume end Its quality , will generally be such that satisfactory market values will be unobtainable. Some first-class Royal Anns are now belns received from The lalles and from a, few sections of the Willamette valley, but arrivals in gen eral cannot be marketed over 4c a pound. Kentish 'cherries are beginning to come to market and they are thus far finding but little demand because of the press of other fruits and i the cool weather. Present- arrivals are quoted along Front street at i 5c a pound. For first-class Royal Ann cherries, packed In email boxes, the price obtainable today by Front street sellers ranges between ' 16 80c. . ' r.---,v- .--.-....cy,..,,. For first-class strawberries there Is quite a good demand along Front street et this time. However good straw berries are scarce And prices are hold- jug quun mill, niuivuftn uiyinoiy iu poor quality Is belnsr sold at prices that would make the growers weep were they to see tne transactions, iiowsvtr. mm seeing will be believing wnen weekly returns are received. .
