Weather Conditions Cause
Early Fruit to Come in
Quite Bad Sliapc
Thug far the present season there has
been great disappointment k over the
quality of cherries In this market
Early varieties have been almost use
less for market purposes. 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. .

FEWER EGGS ARE COMING.
Vbai Dealers gay of Conditions In
the Local Market at This Time.
" "Eggs do not seem to be coming In as
freely as they were, and the market Is
firmer. It is likely that with lighter
receipts prices will advance, ; Get your
eggs to market while tUey are fresh.
There Is lots of complaint as to quality
these days. Butter is steady and un
changed. Poultry- has ' had a "better
week with, a verv fair demand - for
hens and a large demand ror springers,
especially if they , are of . good else.
Spring ducks are in large supply and
dull. We look for a very good demand
for hem end enrinirers the coming week,
Veal has been In fair supply only, but
