MARKET
FOR
PRUNES
IS
CROP IS BADLY MIXED
From 5?Jc to 6c Generally Offered
for Contract on New Crop, Bat
Growers Are Not Offering Con
flirting Reports of Crops.
There la a rather firm tone In the prune
n.arket. and while most of the buyers are un
willing to quote Hw crop contract aove 514
4c a pound for the three siaea. It I reported
that a bigb aa Oc baa been offered by ne
buyer.
lirowera are showing no disposition to ac
cept the prlcea offered at tbla time, and
ttle contracting U therefore reported.
W Kor old crop prunes a number of small ealea
have been made recently around 7c a pound
for rait favorable else, but this better price
was dun to the fact that local grocers needed
the stock, aud therefore were willing to pay
the extreme limit.
I 'rune crop eondltlona In the Pacific nortb
wtxt voDtiuue badiy miied. Iteporte from
Idaho ttre very conflicting, but It la not be
lieved that the earlier reports of a total lose
of the Uem state crop were rather premature
aud misleading. In toe Willamette valley In
dication point to an average production, and
a similar condition 1 reported In Clarke
county, Washington.
Crops Need Sun;
Growth Is Slower
The local offlre of the weather bu
reau rejioi ta crops throughout th
state:
At the beginning and end of the
week the weather was showery and
cool while the imci ven ing days were
generally fair and warmer. On account
of the low temperatures and lack of
sunshine gardens and crops, generally
made very unsatisfactory growth
Alfalfa and other grasses, however,
continued to advance and reports in
dicate that meadows and ranges gen
erally are In Rood condition and that
livestock are thriving. In some nortl'
eastern sections, on account of scarcity
of hay, it has been found necessary
to begin cuttine immature alfalfa for
Ktock. and cutting will probably b
general next week.
The showery weather hindered agri
cultural operations in many localities,
hut most of the plowing in grain pec
lions is completed. l'nfavorab:e
weather besides retarding the growth
of grain has resulted In an increased
growth of weeds, particularly tar-weed.
The ripening of strawberries and ad
vancement af other fruits has been de
layed. Indications point to a goo 1
l IOL UL afl'ira aallll jr,jt I 3 n I I u U. irxtl
yield of peaches, cherries and prunes.
There is considered to be an ampie
supply of water available for summer
irrigation purposes.
Warmer weather with sunshine- Is
needed.

that aa bigb a 8.1c waa paid In a limited way
during the last few days.
A mall report from Bradford. England, say
huaines has been rather lesa active since the
Kaster holidays, but recent advances are fully
, . . 1 . , , , ,
maintained, and where prices bare undergone
any i hange the movement Is In an upward
direction. Merinos are 2d to 3d per pound
("earer than they were three week ago, and
4s at 3s 8'1'd to 3s 9d are really not dear on
the basis of price ruling In London. The
supply of tops Is Just about equal to the de
mand, and there la no surplus for export, al
though an extensive trade could be done If
licenses were procurable.
Beference was made a few weeks ago to
reports that the government was ordering
spinner 10 supply giaieu quantities or yarn
to certain hosiery manufacturera at a price to
be arranged later, which It was naturally as-
wimed would be less than tbe market price of
the day. These reports have been confirmed
by subneouent eventa. and it is now clear
that the government intenda to introduce Into
the wool textile trade tbe aame aystem '
control that has existed In certain brsnches of
the , engineering trade since the beginning of
the war. The reason for this action la the
proved extravagance of the aystem of competl-
tive tendering when the orders absorb a very
large part of the country's production. in
these circumstances It has been found that tha
rtibh to secure options on materials bv those
who were tendering for government contracts
has created an apparent demand many time
greater than the real demands, and forced
prices up to quite fictitious levels.

sprines up for American wheat tbe dreggy
and liwer market will still be a feature. The
pit prlcea were down again today. The dc -
cldcd weakness In Liverpool reflects hesvy
world uhlpmentrt. Iaat week'a imports with
the rather bearish sentiment now prevailing
In the trade will create selling pressure early,
The recent rslns snd more favorsble weather

condition slo favor a lower market.
Corn and oats are also expected to sell
low-er:
The primary movement In corn la expected
to Increase from now on and will haa a
bearish Influence on the market.
At the opening today there was a general
selling of wheat, with the professionals on
the purchsslng end. The futures and sear
futures loet a full point each during the
first deals. The provision market also showed
a downward trend.

ZTew Saving's Bank to B OrgranlMd.
The announcement that a new
bank la to be organized In Portland ex
clusively for tbe receipt of savings and
time deposits has aroused considerable
interest in financial circles. For years
men Inside of bunks have said that
a strictly savings bank In Portland
would be a good business Investment.
Men outside of the banks, too, havo
also believed this and hate asked for
an institution of the strictly savings
bank type. National bankers have fre
quently expressed opinions to this ef
fect They wanted such a bank started
because there was need of an Institu
tion in the city which could handle real
estate loans direct. National banks are
permitted to use but a small part of
their resources in making' loans on real
estate. Ordinarily, when loans of this
nature come up to them, the officials
refer the applicants to their patrons
who are engaged in making loans on
real estate and In whom they have suf
ficient confidence to refer such busi
ness. It remains to be seen what sup-
p6rt will be given the proposed institu
tion. What Its capital will be has not
been announced. The fact that it pro
poses to pay but 3 per cent interest on
its deposits is a much more satisfac
tory announcement to bankers general
ly than the first report that it was to
pay 4 per cent straight. The plan of
dividing the net earnings of the bank
with the depositors will be a departure
for the banks of this slate.
George VL .Reynolds on Higher Bates.
The president of the Continental &
Commercial bank of Chicago is quoted
as follows on the tendency to higher
money rates: "While there are a mul
tiplicity of factors which now enter
into the money situation, the general
trend seems to be toward better rates.
Some of these factors seem inconse
quential unless taken as a whole, and
then they appear particularly signifi
cant. I can see relief in sight from
the abnormal conditions resultant from
the war. One of the must significant
things to me has been the drop in sur
plus reserves of the New Voik banks.
Un laHt Saturday nurplus reserves of
the Uanks etood at J77.000.000, or a de
cline of around $110,000,000 since the
first of the year. It must be remem
bered that this excess In reserves was
largely occasioned by the 1 per cent of
additional money loosed when the new
banking act went into effect. If the
former percentage of reserves were
necessary the batiks would be showing
a aeiicit insieau or a surplus, uuisiue
of the central reserve cities, the bunks
are now well loaned up. It would not
tak much of an I.. created demand for
funds to bring shout higher interest
chart es. The midpummer and early
autumn demand probably will have
effect in that direction, regardless of
other influences now felt In the money
market."

John V. Craddock, a shoe manurac
Usrer of laynchburg. Va., discussed tl
thoe trade as follows: (
"Now and for several months yet,
the consumer will be buying shoes at
considerably less price than they can
be reproduced und sold later on. Inf

pay an advance which Is only about I
