share day on the New York stock
exchange today in 1 more than
three months but it was accom
panied by a sharp reaction in pric

losses of 1 to nearly 5 1-2 points.
The selling was attributed to a
variety of causes including the
failure of operators on the long
side to attract a public following
in the recent upward movement,
the disturbing nature of the for
eign news, the decline in forward
baying In 'the steel industry and
rumors of unfavorable dividend ac

Many of the larger commission

the failure of the market to rally

H. S. Gile Says . Northwest
Has Large Fruit for Which
Demand Exists
Pessimistic reports concerning
the prune' market are' not justi-fied,-H.
S. Gile, Salem fruit deal
er, told members of the Marion
Polk County Realtors association
at their luncheon' at the Marion
hotel jesterday. In the main, Mr.
bil1: reiterated his statements
. , .
made .'before a recent . Rotarian
luncheon." tvi -j . - . ' - ? s
: : Mr. Gile said' a note of optimism
had been soabded for th grow
ers, and that the prune was rapid
ly becoming a staple among frul'.s
served at the table. There is no
reason to fear over-production
this year, he said.
Fruit Large ...
T The northwest has the only crop
of big prunes available this year,
he continued, and urged 'prune
growers to dry and take care of
every prnne, as they; wfll "find a
ready sale a little later. : Ii
An-' increasing demand for the
dry pack, highly processed, is for
seen by Mr,- Gile, who predicts
that the small, one-pound carton
i
will not find as ready a markat.
as the larger sizes, as the , fruit
will not; keep In condition. New
markets are being opened, " he
eaid, and that the 2-pound glass
jars will soon .be in demand. A
bright future for the date . prune
was predicted by the speaker, who
said the hope of the grower Res
in developing prunes for size and
quality, producing the biggest and
the best, which can be done.'
LiOganmen Imcky '
Loganberry men are urged to
take care ' of their vineyards, as
the production of raspberries in
the east is going' bad. .Mr. Gile
said he suspected this was caused
by disease. The man with ' the
loganberry will yet.5 be lucky, . he
said. -. . ...
Hve Fruit as Park
That tourists ; were warning
others not to stop in Salem was
reported ; by L. H. i Roberts, who
urged the realtors to advertise
Salem and to improve conditions
here, . He suggested that fruit on
sale ; at reasonable . prices , won' u
be a great aid if this was carried
on at the auto camp grounds.
Suggestion, that. OAC be asked
for a soil survey of Marion county
met with the. approval of the, as

will be received in the; near .fu

'. In addition , to . the. homes " that

time there Is a truly. remarkabU
activity in the number of resl
dences that are now being pur
chased. ' The- fact that many of
these . sales are . being made to
