WORLD'S MARKETS TODAY CWHEMr OIXED TONE III GOODS Some Canneries Are Xow Op erating: While Others Still Remain Idle. t. The rnned, fruit marki-t In In tho wont position Tor many h season. Prices ! low-er In every line hut this Is not helping the business to any ex tent. 1 In the rnolftc northwest the cannery situation rould scarcely he worse from a financial point of view. The many new. cannerlen ronntrurtpd during the past two years hsve ovrloatlti ihe mar ket and In consequence some one stands to lose considerable money. In the can nery btilldlnr ninrkel the manufacturers have got in their work unite well. They hav sent their most ahle represent!!-1 . tlves to talk cnnneiy to every one who . would listen and u few they had to catch on the run. The result Is that Oregon Is today suffering from an over- eupply or canixrleH and some or inem " are not being operated at nil. while others will scarcely rnaKe sufficient moner to nav Interest charges. ' This condition has heen brought about Which made ready money a sort of lux ury to name. Principal among the cauaes which make 'the cannery nusi nesa unprofitable here the present sea arm, waa the trreat shortage In supplies the last few years which forced the , pftpg tf canned frtilta lieyond a basis i where ordinary consumption was pos- sible. The consumer who was asked to : t , pay 2S cents for a can of first class i ' fruits In the retail shops, did not buy i half or a quarter as many cans as ij usual, because of the unusually high j : price asked. Orooera Are Overstocked. ! :, The retail grocery trade Is over stocked with canned fruits for which I ..it paid very high prices a year ago. . These goods ere still upon the shelves j and few or the retailers came to lose money by selling them below actual cost. In this way they hold back con- sumption. hlle wholesalers are tak Jng orders for futures, and have been lor acme time; they report a much - smaller amount of business than usual In this -line. Retailers who have cleaner! . up are not anxious to take hojd. the v general opinion, or the trade being that . . prices will go lower than opening flg - urea, - Ho Zrfosl Prices Open. While California canners named their opening prices on fruits some time ag-o. no figures have been named by the lo : cal people and in the lines where local Stocks have the awing of the market, the trade Is at a loss just how to act. Because of the financial depression j (Mid the small sale for futures it Is stated that few of the wholesalers have made (heir customary advances f to the canners. The latter are In turn. i unable to operate their plants without , financial assistance and some of the i .'.larger institutions have for this rea 0n not yet started 1908 operations. " - Stay Cut Sown Big Output. ' This may cut down to a considerable - degree the expected big production nf f . cannea gooas in misstate as wel as In California, where identically the same onttltions prevail. Those who had been - figurnlg upon a record-breaking canning may nayc rooien tnemseives and a real ' shortage may be shown at a later date iifter the full season's work is ended nd counted. : Not only are the wholesale grocers . i,, 'NaldJo be wHhoIdlng their customarv money advances to the canners but some cf them have not purchased at all, being 01 ine opinion nice some or the retail ers tnat tney may do better. With the banks not overwllling to take chances on the canned goods market . and the canners themselves pressed for v pperating finds the situation is Indeed a mixed one and there's no telling what will be the outcome.

Har vest has already begun in some parts of Umatilla county, and it will be in full blast on the res ervation and In the big wheat section of the county about tho middle of the month. In some places the crop will be consid erable short, tin ugh In most sections It is predicted that there will be 75 per cent of a normal crop, or an average of 35 bushels to the acre. There will be some 40-bushel' yields. On account of the dry, cold spring season the crop will be Khort of last year, but with a price of 75 cents which the farmers expect to receive this fall they will be but little short this year.
