Stating that the Oregon Crow ers Co-opratlve association had endeavored since its opening price last fall to stabilize the market. Mr. Paulus writes: "Certain independent packers announced to the trade previous to the association's naming ot opening prices, that they would follow a cut-throat policy, and they have continued during the season to break down the mar ket rather than to strengthen it. "The result has been that at the time of writing this article. March 22. that the New York market on prunes baa been ham mered down on Oregon prunes to the following: 40-r.0s 10 cents ",0-f.Os .... 64 to 7 cents 0-7 0s cents 70-SOa 7, cents K0-90s 35. cents XO-lOOs 5 cents "Ieductlng 2 cents a pound for these prices for freight, 1 4 cents for packing, and about 6 per cent to cover brokerage discount.
