An Investigation of tue potato trade airing ... tbe coast indicate that tbe present weakness i ia tbe price at primary center, as well as In .California Is due to. the very liberal ship aunts which have been made to San Francisco recently.

Uarket for egg Is unsettled along tbe whole ssle way. Owing to tbe absence of new out side order, and the very liberal increase la ai rivals here, tbe trade has become somewhat panicky. Some of tbe leading receivers bsve leu unable to dlapose of tbelr surplus dur ing tbe lart 24 boars above 10c a doxen, al though tbe general market for case count stands aroand lVje, with some small pur chase reported a high as 20c a dozen. It appears that with tbe absence of outside business for ; the moment that some of tbe storage Interests decided to best down values to that they could again resume an 1ce-base movement. Although there la no northern business of Importance now available, tbe outlook Is hope ful because ixircnases already made for that account have not been excessive; in fact, have not been as great aa normal. This being tbe case. It msy be possible for the market to strengthen somewhat again. Rock. 17c; ordinary chickens, 17c lb.; aiaga, 12c; aprlng. 1 V and 2 lbs., 22c; broilers, 25c; turkeya.

What ia con sidered the largest prune orchard in Oregon and the northwest is vth Jdanha, three miles northwest of Nyssa and south of Ontario. A new packing plant 75 by 100 feet will bi erected this year to meet the demands of the growing capacity of the or chard. The $15,000 drier built last year is the largest and best equipped plant of Its kind west of the Rocky mountains. The Idanha orchard covers 12 acres. 115 acres of which is planted solidly to prunes, mostly of the Ital ian variety. Last year there were 7000 bearing prune trees in the or chard, while this year there will re 11,500 trees in bearing condition. The total tonnage last year was 1,900,000 pounds of ripe prunes. Joseph Can celmo of Philadelphia, the sole owner of the orchard, declares that this year the tonnage of prunes will reach 2,500.000 pounds. Last year the total output of trie drier of the Idanha prune orchard was 287 tons, or 574,000 pounds of dried prunes. The entire output of this plant was disposed of before November 15. The dried fruit was shipped in carload lots to Chicago. Philadelphia, Buffalo and New York. Project Promises a ' Fair Crop Peaches Hermiston, Or., April 4. Talk among fruit growers of the project is they, will have a light crop of peaches In spite of the belief, during the severe weather, that it was entirely lost. Some of the earliest varieties of peaches are now in blossom and in sections, apricots are beginning to ap pear in their pink garb. Crabs and plums likewise are com ing out. In most cases the older apple orchards give promise of good yields. The late and heavy snows keeping the fruit from budding too early as sures the orchardist against losses by killing frosts. Sprayin for fungus diseases was done several weeks ago by those who are careful in protecting their fruit and who want the extra fancy stock. San Francisco Wool Market. San Francisco. Cal.. April 3.

Hew riBSBoisTOperatioas waltiaeT Xsxloaa BetUement According to the April letter of the National City bank of Chicago, "as soon as the tension over the Mexican situation lets up and if nothing new develops abroad, to cause unrest here, there will be a good deal of new financing ' arranged for. The railroads in the aggregate need a vast amount of money and 'Hndustrlsl corporations In payment for' new loans and extensions must also secure large amounts of new capital. These de mands, however, great as they are, do not exceed the resources of the Amer ican market at a time when business is excellent and Increasing confidence is being felt about the future. Money is still in plentiful supply at relatively easy interest rates which, however, may show hardening tendencies if the expansion of commercial activity con tinues. About $17i.000 will be paid out in April for interest and dividends." Model FroTision in Sural Credits Law. According to F. a.
