OREGON PRUNE PRICES PROMISE TO REACH THE HIGHEST RECORD

Veals doing better.
Potato buying liberal.
For the flrit time in many years.
Oregon Italian prunes are being quoted
it Atlantic seaWmrd points at an ad
vanced price over the French prunea
of the Hanta Clara section of Califor
nia
The latter are usually the highest
priced prunes in the market and have
for years held the leadership, not
withstanding the fact that the Ore
gon Italian prune is generally con
sidered the best prune in the world
The tart taste of the Oregon Italian
la at last being recognized by the
general nubile and the trad of the
country has been ioruea to tak due
notice. Th. French or sweet prun
baa hriotpre held th puDito ravor,
although it ia not considered nearly
as ideal a fruit for health or dsrt aa
inn DCtng tne case extraorainary
efforts ar being made by California
and eastern interests to ''corner" the
coming supply of Italian prunes In
Oregon, ah sorts or. aavance prices i

tact (hat '

ceded that values are likely to touch
a new high record during the present
ason.

Eastern interests are dally Inquiring
for Information regarding this year's
crop of Oregon Italians. They are
showing much more interest than ever
before on account of the general
change In the sentiment or tne pub
lie. Foreigners are likewise quite
eager for information regarding the
prospects for the season's prune crop
here ana most interests warn 10 con
tract.
It has generally been th rule In
the prune market, as in other lines,
that those -who contract their crops
far in advance of delivery, ar the
ones who annually receive the lew
eat prices. It is Impossible at thin
time to tell what the prune crop of
Orcaon or California is going to be.
With the heavy dropping in the south.
It is quit probable that the crop
there will b below early expectations
and aa blooming is now shown in this
state it is a question if the recent
heavy frosts have not done consider
abl damage. If this is true it means
that prune prices are likely to show
h further advance, and Contracting in-
Mrests fully realize tnia.
Smaller Crop. Likely.
Rldgefleld, Wash., April 21. The
prune crop outlook in Ridgefield, Pio
neer and Sara sections is good, al
though It is expected, owing to the
cold weather
visited these
and rains which have
farming and fruit sec -
ttona lately, a crop equal to oniy ou
per cent of last year's crop Is looked
for. The prune orchards are further
advanced now than they were a year
ago.. Other fruit trees, especially the
cherries, seem to have suffered from
the climatic conditions, many blos
soms falling off the trees, thus lessen
ing the yield. Prices for this year's
rjrunes. which calls for them" at a con
tracted price, are as high aa 7c. This
high price will offset the decrease of
tne crop.
Ctood Prune Outlook.
Wahougal. Wash., April 21. Fruit
trees are- looking well and are far
enough along to indicate that the ap
haKr?n,iP J?J?i Ji b wtSItiP.
Baldwin apples are not blossomln
in
well.: but King and- Spitzenbergs an
neveral other varieties give promise of
a heavy crop. The weather nas been
too cold to advance fruit as fast aa it
gave promise a week or so ago.
MARKET FOR EGGS 18 QUIETER
1 Quieter tone is shown In tbe local
market for eggs and a fractional de
cline la shown In prices. Nineteen
cents Is now the top price that case
count is selling at and f. o. b. buyers
are generally quoting a cent below
this.
FINE CAR OF TOMATOES IN
Very fin carload of Florida toma
toes has been received on the Front
street trade and Is showing a good
tUmand at $4 a crate generally. This
is a loss of 60c from the previous
point. , Demand is good.
MORE AUSTRALIAN ONIONS IN
Additional supplies of Australian
onions are being received In the local
market and shipments are being made
to ot)ier- points In the Pacific north
west. The stock is of fair quality and
Is quoted at $4.75 par crate of 100
pounds net.
BERRY MARKET QUITE GOOD
Market for the better class of ball
fornia berries is quite good. Los An
geles stock will probably disappear
from the trade soon, owing to poor
etuaiity ana tne neiter oirerings rrom
Florin ana t resno.
CHICKEN MARKET IS WEAK
While prices showed only a frac
tional loas for chickens In the Front
street trade during the last 24 hour
lower prices are generally expected
by the trade owing to the expectation
of. uoerai receipts.
GOOD A8PARAGUS IS SCARCE
Real good asparagus is rather scarce
in the local market and best home
offerings are firm at $1. 00(91.26 per

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK
By flyman U.Cohen.
Oregon's chicken Industry Is grow
ing: today with much greater strides
than ever before. The "day old"
chicken Industry is receiving- much at
tention, and many thousands of dol
lars will be brought into the state thia
year from this source alone.
Jn the vifinity of Portland there aro
many poultry ranches that jave been
eetauiiHtieo ounng te last year. Many
have entered the business who were
f&rmerly located In the middle went.
and even Kurope has aent some of its
tMSt chicken producers to this section.
"Day old" chickens sell at various
price, according to breed. Home of
the local raisers are quoting 310 to $12
pr 100 for White Leghorns, and say
that there is good profit In the busi
ness at this price.
Meat Market Has a
Better Tone Locally
Veala Are Ilwoverhig From Re
cent Weakness; Ktoek In lAver
Is Now in Heat Call.
There is a generally better feeling
in the market for country killed meats
along Front wtreet. The former weak
ness in the veal trade haa Oi-,3rparea
and the demand today ia unite liueral.
This has already had an elevating ertect.
tir-rm ihs nrtre an best offerings of
country killed calves sre today quoted
quite firm at I3',4c a pound.
One drawback is shown among pres
ent arrivals of country aKi. Many
Shippers detach the livers and fail to
aena mem to tne iocai Fnarnci wim
their offerings. The retult is that the
price is generally 4c to 1c a pound
lower than calves with livers attached.
Some of the leading retailers will not
purchase calves without livers In the
Front street trade, tneretore tne snip-
r wuu iiPBifii h-m hid
along is not receiving top values
Country killed hogs aro showing a
steady tone in the trade generally, but

Out on the Sandy and Base Line
roads tlie raising of chickens for mar
ket has assumed liberal proportions,
and the industry Is expanding very
fast; A visit to some of these places
resterday disclosed the fact that witii
n a week or two there will be liberal
offerings of "broilers" on the local
market.
Up to -a year ago, it was customary
for the local trade to send to Califor
nia for most of Its early chickens.. To
day local producers are extending
their business to such an extent that
not only is the home trade being sup
plied, but there will soon be sufficient
to ship in large lota to other sections.
This means the keeping at home of
many thousands of dollars each sea
son, thereby saving that much money
for use in local business.
Getting Ready for
The Salmon Season
Plants of Columbia rH'er salmon
packers are rapidly being prepared for
the opening of the spring season. May
1. New equipment is being placed In
some of the canneries and labor sav
ing machinery ia being installed by
some to Increase the output.
With old stocks of first class canned
aalmon practically exhaOsted in all
world markets, and with the trade
operating with the smallest supply
known lor many years, the outlook is
exceedingly good for the movement of
the coming pack.
Preparations have been made for the
operation of more Alaska salmon can
neries this year than last season. Ow
ing to the low trices that rulefl on
some grades last season, some of the
packers did not operate at all. while
others put up only sufficient stock to
cover their labor contracts. This sea
son the outlook la much more honcful
i or tne price, and this will cause all to
work to their capacity providing the
usual supply of fish ia available.
Stock Advance Is
Quite Sharp Today
New York, April 21. Stock values
soared today, even though foreigners
were heavy sellers of American securi
ties. It is estimated that sales for
foreign account today aggregated 15,
000 shares, while their purchases were
out ouou snares.
The entire list of rail and Indus
trials was in good demand, consider
able short covering being forced after
yesterday's loss. Central Leather is
said to show earnings of $2,200,000 for
the quarter, which is considered the
best quarter in its history.
Allis-Chalmers directors passed the
dividend today.

WHEAT OUTLOOK IS
IDEAL; SMALLER CROP
LIKELY; PRUNES GOOD
Condon, Or., April 21. Gilliam coun
ty wheat Will apparently not suffer
tnis year from lack of moisture. An
inch and one half of rain has fallen at
Condon since April . 1. This is the
record for this county since the rec
ords have been kept, and the old
timers here say they have never seen
so much rain here at this time of the
year. At Gooseberry even more mois
ture than this has fallen and this is
also true of the northern part of the
county. In Ferry Canyon the ground
is so wet that the farmers have diffi
culty in working it. The prospects
for a bumper crop seem to grow 'better
as spring advances ana the larmers
are all jubilant. They are unanimous
in saying that they have never seen
better wheat than this year's crop in
this county at this season of the year.
Wheat Market Has
A Firm Tone Late
Chicago. April 21. May showed only
frail support at the opening of wheat
trading and initial figures were off a
fraction. July and September each
started with an advance, the former
ic and the latter He a bushel. Mar
ket closed with a net rise of 14c for
May, c for uly and c for Septem
ber.
Broomhall cabled from Liverpool
that wheat was under pressure of
moderate realizing at the opening,
owing to favorable European crop
news and private reports of the highly
favorable American crop outlook. LateV
shorts covered and speculative buying
developed. The market advanced on a
better miller's demand for Manitoba
and the decrease in the visible suddIv
here. Argentina offers are light and
Australia smaller.

earning power of
