THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK The market for wool is showing con. slderabla strength. The continued strung tone of foreign, markets, to gether With the higher prices In effect there, have stimulated the domestic demand to a very considerable extent. While It is true that little contract ing has been shown at Oregon and Idaho interior points to date this sea son, this Is through no fault of buy ers, except perhaps that they have not as yet named values which are In line with what the fleece is worth abroad. While It is still a trifle too early to state definitely what the woolen situa tion will be during the remainder of the season, the outlook is the most promising for years. Latest reports from the east indicate no slacking up In the demand for man ufactured goods; In fact, the mills are today enjoying unusual prosperity in regard to orders for woolens. Few of i hem nave adequate supplies of fleece to 'fill even their present orders foe manufactured goods, and for that rea son are eagerly watching the trend ot the wool market, both .at home and abroad. The small sales of wool on sheep's back to date this season indicate a re markable stats of the trade. For awhile eastern wool mill interests had an Idea that they would play the for eign markets against the American producer,' but they now realize their mistake because loreign prices are on a higher parity even at this time than domestic, and Indications point strong , ly to an Improvement In the situation abroad. " By Hyman H. Cohen. Europe promises to be a blf market for Oregon can aed goods. .he first shipments of canned fruit sent from this stats to Europe were made from Uiis city a few months ago. Since then the business has been developing, and every liner of the American -Hawaiian company that leaves this rlly for Europe takes a supply of Oregon canned fruits and. vegetables to the continent. According to announcement made by the A. Rupert company of this city, who were pioneers in this field, these shipments are developed from a for mer shipment made so Europe and wfflch was so highly satisfactory that these people are buying in large quan tities and the comoanv , advises that prospects now ars for a very large volume of business on the continent. Representatives on the continent advise that dealers are becoming greatly in terested in Oregon products, such as strawberries, loganberries, raspberries. pears and cherries, and are much pleased with the fine quality packers c-f Oregon are turning out. That Oregon canned goods ars of the highest quail tyx is attested to by A. C. Coltman, who is connected with one of the largest firms handling pro visions in tne united tungaom, wno has been In this city tor several days visiting the A. Rupert company. He speaks in the highest terms of Oregon canned fruits and prunes, and has made large purchases of both canned and dried fruits here. He says. these orders that he is giving now are only the beginning of extensive purchases that they will make before the end of this coming season. He also says that their trade is becoming greaty Inter ested In Oregon products and antici pates a growing demand in the United Kingdom for prunes, pears and berries. Mr. Coltman. Is very enthusiastic over Oregon loganberries and states that he will make a very diligent effort to I introduce them In his country. N. W. Halsey & Co. of New Tork EGO MARKET HOLDS STEADY Fairly steady tone Is showing In the market for eggs locally. Sales are re- for ted along the street generally at 8 Vie for care count, with an occa sional lot at 19c. Storage operation continue on a fair scale. A carload was reported sold to Everett, Wash., during the last 24 hours. . RIPE BANANAS ARE SCARCE are offering-$1,000,000 3K per cent Capitol building refunding bonds on a 4.10 per cent basis. At a meeting of the directors of the Rogue River Valley Fruit & Prod uce association yesterday it was de cided to make S cents a box the asso ciation charge the same as last year and contracts will be signed at once. This is a very reasonable charge and represents a material inducement to the grower to join the association. Twenty-three bids for the purchase of the 8100.000 The Dalles high school bonds were received. The best bid was by the Wells & Dickey Co. or Minneap olis, which offered' a Premium of $1651 with accrued interest at 6 per cent from the date of the bonds to Aha date or delivery. Tne diq was accepted. The Ewauna Box company nas opened for the season's run. Accord ing to officials, the orders now on file are twice as large as last year, so the plant will be kept crowded all throua-h the season. At least 85 men will be given steady employment. Since the plant closed down last winter a number of big improvements have been made. As a result, the daily output has been doubled, and the concern will now turn out 60,000 feet of box shook in a day's run, making it as large as any otner raciory in the county. An effort Is being made by The Dalles Business Men's association to secure a large fruit by-products plant for that city. Such a ' plant would take care of fruits that are unfit to ship, those over rines and idefectlve. but not fruits that are unfit for any kind of use. It was explained, taking apples for an example, that in a great many instances the grades are lowered by the growers packing fruit that is off color, defective in shape- or has imperfections on the outside. This would be salable to the by-products piant. POTATO MARE Scarcity of ripe bananas Is shown on the street. Owing to the holdup of 'a previous shipment by the Washouts in California, the local trade cancelled the follow. ng shipment, and now re gret It because stocks moved out faster tnan expected. ONION MARKET HOLDS FIRM IS OF POOR CHARACTER According to W. W. Broaddus, local representative of Levy-Zentner com pany, of San Francisco, who recently returned from a visit to the Bay City, there Is a very poor outlook for potato prices for the future. "George Shims, the Japanese, is said to have a sufficient supply of potatoes on hand." says Mr. Broaddus. "to sup Ply all the wants of the California trade during the remainder of the sea son. He has evidently become fright ened at the prospects for he is making a desperate effort to unload at this time. "With fully 1000 cars of potatoes on hand in Oregon at this time, there is very little likelihood that Texas will be able to clean up the trade here this season. Shipments of 600 cars a month would be necessary, as the season has practically only two months to. run. "The market for Oreeon notatoes is Ihurt in California by the fact that vv uBiungiun is snipping neavy Buppues there. These are-generally of inferior quality, and have -the effect of keeping the price of Oregon stock at a low point. While I was In San Francisco, the steamer Congress arrived there from Puget sound with 4000 bags of potatoes, which are selling slowly- at 75c per sack to J 1.01 per cental." Market for onions is holding firm in the country. While a small amount of business has been schown In the 'country at 12.76, most supplies are be- tng held tight for 13. California is again buying In the local territory. MOKE CALIFORNIA SALMON IN Additional supplies of California sal mon are reported in 'the local market. 1 While the price is high in the south - and could not be sold at a profit be low 18c a pound, actual business at 16 QjlCVfcc Is reported for chlnooks. CHICKENS SLIGHTLY WEAKER ENGLISH BUYERS IN MARKET FOR SUPPLY With English buyers In the market for hops and local growers offering their supplies rather freely, quite fair amount of business is again re ported. Following the fair volume of sales last week there was a sprinkling of business offered from abroad dur ing the last 24 hours, and some of the deals "were confirmed this morning at 16 He to 17c a pound for best Quality White Dnvia Ot RhHrin anIA 07 bales to Harry I Hart of this city at a. price said to rule between 16c and Is He, and a similar range was report ed In the sale of the Ervert crop of 84 bales to T. A. Livesley of Salem. Foreign buyers are the only ones in the market at this time and as they are aoie to secure tneir wants, no in clination is :shown to elevate values. ai io tic to uq the market is consid erea steaay tor best offerings. No business is shown in contracts, Dut growers are showing more disposi uuu io sign up. SHORTS COVER INST OC ' Slightly weaker tone Is showing In the chicken trade along the street. Re : c'eiptS during the last 24 hours were much better than expected, and buyers are less keen to take hold at the for mer extreme values. A small loss is expected. TOMATO SUPPLIES LIBERAL Market is quite well supplied today with good quality Mexican tomatoes. The last shipment was the best re ceived here or some time, and Is therefore fading a good demand at tS a lu? generally. SHIPPERS' WEATHER NOTICE Weather bureau sends the following notice to shippers: Protect shipments as far north as Seattle against minimum temperatures of about 34 degrees; northeast to Spo ken 18 degrees; southeast to Boise, 2s degrees; south to Ashland, 44 de- agrees.
