The cut in ptices is ons of the great-
?st ever made in the local meat trade
or an extended period and reflects the
severe weakness that has ruled in the
price of live hogs recently at practi
cally all American points.
It Is quite possible that a further out
in fresh, pork products will be made if
there la a further immediate decline in
the prlco of livestock.
No changes are announced by killers

' mutton, although there has been a
rather severe cut in the price of live

- Export-wheat business is seemingly
out of the question at this time. A.
cam to local parties came rrom Liver
pool yesterday offering 8 shillings for
a cargo hair bluestem and half olub.
This is equivalent to about 76tf7c a
bushel hero, and Is entirely out of line
with present ideas of oroducers.
There is a slight increase in offer
ings by the country, but it will be some
time before the movement is general.
At the moment the mills are practically
the only buyers, and for limited lots
of olub they are still offering 79c a
bushel tidewater track basis for olub
and 88o for bluestem quick delivery. For
futures prices are a cunt below this.
Some attempt has been made to ship
feed barley to California, but the mar
ket there baa weakened. A small amount
of business has passed hers with buyers
paying as- high as m fi 13. BO for feed
and 2$ for brewing, but only very
limited stocks are wanted. AH Of this
Is for quick delivery.
uuite rair. contracting or oats is re-
?orted in the interior on the basis oc

PRUNE
FOR
SIXTEEN YEARS
Bulk of South Ponglas Crop Con
.tracted and High Prices Are
Being Forced for Others.
(Special In The Journal.!
Myrtle Creek, Or., J. With the
bulk of the 1913 prune .crop In south
Douglas county contracted for. prices
for dried prunes are steadily climbing
upward. Just now prune buyers are of
fering the best prices that have) been
presented to prune growers in 16 years.
Those who sold early , are exhibiting
some symptoms of despondency while
those who-held until now are jubilant.
Bltice prune raising is ons of the chief
Industries here business in general is
looking up as a' result.
The Drager Fruit company of Salem,
has had representatives In this field the
present week who have been signing up
contracts at a price of six cents for
Italians and five cents for the French
prunes, orchard run, f. o. b. here. A
large number of the growers in the Cow
Creek vallev have sold at this price.
Heretofore prune growers have had to
sell on a grade basis, and while they
were offered a high price for their
large prunes, the drop of a half or a
uarter or a cent on eaon succeeding
lower grade made their small prunes
Worth practically nothing. By the or
chard run method of buying, the. grower
gets a ziat price ot six cents ror an
his Italians and five cents for . all his
French prunes, without grading.
Soma few growers are holding for
better prices. The Johns Bros., who have
a fine young orchard of 40 acres o
Italian and French , prunes, are refus
ing to sell at present prices. Since their
prunes are mostly of large else they do
not take to the orchard Min prices now
being offered, pointing out that while
the man with lots of little prunes can
well afford to sell at auch nrlcea. the
grower with large siaes will get left.

eagerly sought by English interests and
iso nas oeen xreeiy oiierea win grow
ers unwilling to sell anything below 20c
and few are anxious to do business at

The strength In the market both here

The fact that English orders ars again

Turn to Bo Bayers.
Chicago, August 16. Surprising
strength was shown In the market for
the day, closing figures being o to c
a bushel better than yesterday after an
opening that waa c to 14 c from yes
terday. - :
There was aoms selling at the start
but these interests wore re-buyers later
when values became stronger.
Broomnall cabled fsom Liverpool that
wheat was steady owing to the good
American cables which caused shorts to
cover. Later there was a further ad
vunce with the undertone firm. Frivate
reports received here from Winnipeg
express fears of severe damage from
the cyclonic storm in Canada. , There
was an improved demand for spot and
offers of American winters are firmer.
Private reports are to the effect that
the weather In Europe is unfavorable
and advices from France regarding the
crop ars bullish.

HOOD RIVER FRUIT MEN
FORM AN EXCHANGE TO
MARKET APPLE CROP
Under Direction of A. J, Mason New
Organization Will , Affiliate With
' Northwestern Fruit Exchange;
Sell Under Special Brands.
Hood River will have the honor of
being practically the first section of
Ui country to send forward a brand of
apples that will be advertised under the
projected campaign.
The formation of the Hood River
Fruit Growers' exchange by some of
the leading producers of the world
famous section, will start the ball roll
ing in the advertising campaign, which
has for lis duel object the securing of
a better market for producers and the
obtaining of butter fruit by consumers.
The Hood River Fruit Growers' ex
change, which will be watched over by
A. I. Mason, one of the best known ap
ple men of the Paclflo northwest, has
allied Itself with the Northwestern
Fruit exchange of this city, and will
market its output of Spitzenberg and
Yellow Newtown apples under the lat
ter'a brand. '
While the organization of the Hood
Rivar Fruit Growers' exchange is as
yet composed of few growers because
it was started after most of the fruit
had been contracted to other parties,
the promoters say that many have al
ready signified their Intention of ship
ping under its auspices next season.
The organisation gives the North
western Fruit exchange of this city its
first real foothold in the moat famous
apple growing section of the world.
While it has marketed apples for other
organisations there at times when the
lattar could not find an outlet for their
own product, still it has never before
been actually represented in the dis
trict.
"We mean to pay special attention to
Hood River fruit hereafter," says W. F.
Gwln, selling authority of the North
western Fruit exchange. "We were
asked by some of the leading growers
of the district to market their fruit
this seaaon and have accented. All of
the fruit will be graded by a special
machine and will be packed in a cen
tral warehouse."
Trade Rallies to Support of Shares
After Critical Loss In the
Quotations.
New York. Aug. 16. -The stock mar
ket was subjected to heavy selling pres
sure during the first half hour but
aggressive support was tendered on the
decline and prices rallied sharply.
Bullish sentiment has become well
crystaltxed and many who heretofore
were disposed to hold aloof now ar in
clined to make purchases on the down
turns. The threatened labor troubles
In Butte have had the Influence of
stimulating a good demand for coppej
sharcs and it is not unlikely that the
same will be the feature in any advance
owing to the strong position of metal.
The buying recently of Westlnghouse
has been very good and judging by the
way the BtocK Has been absorbed
cr prices seem likely.

REAL ESTATE MAN IS
LECTURED BY COURT
t- ,.' , -.
.'"Ed" Daly Haled to Answer
Contempt Charge of Evad-'
ing Jury Duty,
B. J.Daly, real estate 1 operator lr
the Falling building, was haled before
Municipal Judge Stevenson this morn
ing on a charge of contempt of court
by attempting to escape Jury service.
After a lecture by the Judge on good
citizenship and jury service, Daly prom
ised to answer all Jury subpenas that
com his way hereafter.
Sickness was the reason tha realty
dearer gava for not answering the eub
pena Thursday. He also told the Judge
this morning he was 111, having been
confined to his home two days. How
ever, the court has a letter from Daly,
In which he objected to Jury service,
saying that he was too busy a man to
Idle away his time at such a ramshackle
a building as the municipal court.
In answer to this letter Judge Steven
son wrote another one. In which he told
Mr. Daly that the court was busy and
there were cases to be tried, lhat he
was on the Jury list, waa properly sub
penaed, and should serve. The Judge
also mentioned that there were others
who had to got accustomed to the ram
shackle building.
Nothing was heard from the prospec
tive Juror, so the court ordered a bench
warrant yesterday for his arrest
"Subpcnas are subpenas," said the
Judge In addressing the recalcitrant
juror, 'land you must answer them
whether you want to or not." As he
stood before the court sweat poured
down over his brow and cheeks In min
iature rivers, ss some of the Jokers
around the court had Intimated that the
last man before the Judge for trying
to dodge Jury service was given five
days on the rockplle.
