Real good CHhiiHue la a rather
scarce article in the Kront street trade
at this time and higher prices are gen
erally bfintj realized by handlers. While
some dealers report a weaker feeling in
the trade and supplies as being too lib
Vral; miVfct of the leading handlers as
sert t ha t not only Is the market firm
and high, but at Intervals they are un
able to "fill all their orders. ,
Price uf cabbage Is ruling from $1.75
to $2.00 per cental lor loune stock, but
lor crated the nuiki-t Is holding tirm at
Sl'.OO'a 2.J5. Most of th" dealerB assert
that they have lici n unable to secure
their requirements even by offering
growers 1.7i per cental for loose stoc-K
here.
The present shortage In the cabbage
market Is not believed to be more than
tenipoiaiy. The acreage of late planned
cabbage thlg season was somewhat
heavier than during any recent year.
Crop conditions have lieen unusually
tavoiiilde. therefore there Is no reason
to fear any exiieiiie Mmrtage. On the
other hand. IochI cabbage prices have
been unusually favorable fo dale this
season. While its a rule there is little
demand for early local cabbage because
the wants of the trade are usually over
supplied by the earlier California stock,
this season the local slock entered the
maikel with all xcelbnt call and it has
continued faorahle 10 dale.

The market for dried prunes contin
ues to show considerable strength al
though there has been no late movement
In prices. Foreign inquiries are still
uetlve and some fair sized sales are re
potted to Europe by northwest interests
during the last few days.
me prune crop or the slate Is even
better than first estimates and it is
safe to say at this time that the out
put win nei producers a greater sum
or money than any 0110 season since th
Industry started. The crop in Califor
nia has proven fully as light us expect
ed ana this is one of the great sliniu
Jants in the trade at this tlmt.
The premium for 30s to 40s continues
unchanged. While some sections re
port a very large per cent of this av
erage, the total crop in the northwest
is rather short of large slses. Very
small sizes are hard to dispose of ex
cept at a rather low price. The bulk
of the strength in the trade for prunes
is In the better offerings. ,,
Eastern markets, while quiet recently,
have held rather firm values and the
same is true as regards the European
trade.
PRUNE OUTLOOK IS (OOI)
Lower prices are being named in some
quarters for eggs because of the weaker
feeling. Theiv is now not the slightest
doubt that values here were advanced
too rapidly and a reaction is the result.
Local ranch at 33 ft 35c a dozen.
PEACH MARKET IS ACTIVE
Market for peaches continues very
flc.ivc with the bulk of the sales still at
ti(k- a box. The percentage of fruit that
sells below extreme prices Is very small,
in fact, some of the leading handlers
have but one price today.
COCOAMTS ARE ADVANCING
With- the current report that the
banana trust ha- cornered the supply of
ocouniits in Central America, comes the
Infomiation that within a very short
tirce there has been an advance of about
,ri'n 6r a pound in the prepared article
and that the Independents are being
driven from the field.
OREGON CONCORD GRAPES IN
4"rst shipment of Oregon Concord
gripes of the season has been received
here from I'orest lirov. The stock is
pHCked In baskets of four pounds each.

Prospects in Douglas Comity Ilest
as Regards Price and Quantity.
(Siifbil in Th J"unii'l :
Roseb.urg,. Or., .Sept. 15. The Douglas
county prune crop will this year bring
the growers, it is estimated, between
$27.r),tiOO and $300, OOrt. and will amount
to between 125 and 135 carloads. This
estimate is -made hv A. K. Melntire. lo
cal manager for the Inager Fruit com
pany, of Raletn, who has Just returned
from a visit to the prune growing dis
tricts.
Mr. Melntire recently made a trip
through the prune glowing districts of
the Willamette valley and Clarke coun
ty, Washington, and from his observa
tions he pronounces the Douglas county
prunes the finest in the northwest,
which is practically equivalent to say
ing they are the best in the United
States. He says the prunes here will
grade out about two sizes In an or
chard. Mr. Melntire estimates that of the
Italian prunes produced In this coun
try this year at least 50 per cent will
be of Hie 30 to 0 sizes, and that some
of the largest Petltes he ever saw were
grown this year 011 the J. I.. Shamhrook
orchard at Lmpqua. Some of these, he
says, will grade as large as 30s, which
is something remarkable for that vari
ety of prunes. He estimates that the
entire output rrom tnis county this year
will bring an average of G Va cents' per
pound to me growers.
Heavy business is reported In the hop
market and while dealers are not mak
ing public all their purchases, it is
known positively that several thousand
bales were purchased from 20 td 20V.C
a pound since Sunday.
it w" reported today, but uncon
firmed that T. A. l,lvesley & Co., of
SaleniA had purchased 1000 bales of
hops atVoc a pound.
Harry X. Hart of this city is report
ed the pifrtjiaser of from 6O0 to 70"
bales of hopsi,wttjjiii the lust 4S hours at
.tKinstiytr a pouih.
McNeff Bros, are likely reported us
operators at the same range.
It is positively known that 21c was
paid for 250 bales of the Bohanan -Dayman
crop at Independence and that
21 Vic has been offered to several par
ties for strictly select good. in the
other hand there is un unconfirmed re
port that 22e has been bid for a roun'J
lot of some extra good quality hops.
The strength of the local market is
but a, reflection of what Is happening at
all fitreign markets. A cable received
hare today from London said that the
market was much excited and higher,
170 shillings being- offered for crop.i
while growers are holding for 200 shil
lings. The latest estimate of the Kng
IihIi cnp reduces the estimate to 2a 1.
000 hundredweight. However, until Un
official report Is received, there will
be more or less speculation as to the
amount produced.
In California the hop market Is very
active. The quality of this year's crop
in the south is said to be inferior and
growers are seemingly willing to ac
cept current figures. It Is stated that
Beardsley of Sacramento sold 300 bales
at 19c a pound. This seems to be about
the top for hops In that section.
No business of Importance is reported
from the Washington sect-ions but It is
reported from several sources that
has been offered and refused In
Yakima country.

Only a nominal amount of bnsineas Is
parsing in any line of the grain trade.
Some wheat buf-lhess is reported around
"H-fiStic for club and '7t!((fS7r- for blue
Mem, but theie Is no special dealro
among buyers to take hold. The loading;
of ships for foreign shipment in now
about the only attraction. Some of
these cargoes have already been sold
and others are awaiting purchasers.
Prevailing prices paid for wheat are
fractionally higher than export working
basis.
Most of the millers have reduced their
hitis for club to 7V, but say they must
pay a cent above this if they really want
the wheat, as the country Interests have
their ideas glued at htliRt that high.
The barley market Is still twisted,
with all dialers disclaiming responsi
bllltv. All agree that It Is the other
fellow who is tying up the trade at this
time. Open bids are being fractionally
reduced, hut no business of importance
is passing.
Oats market Is again showing frac
tional weakness in prices but no gen
eral change Is noted.
