Sick Children PRU11RKET IS PROMISING Strong Foreign Demand and Domestic Inquiries are Showing Increase With a strong foreign demand and domestic inquiry on the in crease, the situation in the prune market is very promising, accord ing to Robert C, Paulus, local fruit broker. Buyers In Germany and France are contracting for the pu rchase of a large q uantity of prunes, due to the failure of foreign erops and the fact that for eign producers are keeping their fruit off the market in anticipa tion of a Better price. New Tork. the principal headquarters for prune buyers, is beginning to show increased activity. This keen de mand has served to establish a standard -of good prices, in spite of the fact that there has been a tendency on the part of Califor nia Interests to cut prices on some lots of prunes. The' general' feel- Inpr, however, Is that the situation will be corrected and a good price maintained. - Prunes to Germany Since the 'adoption of the Dawes plan legislation, the credit situa tion in Germany has improved to the, extent that the brokers there are able to do a good business In prunes pnt up In bags. Prunes put up in this manner can be shipped more cheaply, and1 the duty on the export is not so high. Before, the prunes are -placed jjiipon the foreign market,, they are re processed and ,packed " In boxes. Hamburg dealers estimate that ap proximately 25,000 tons of prunes will be purchased this season, with the prospect of an increase if cred it conditions are made still more favorable. This figure does not equal the total purchase made last year, but Is considered quite en- IieTe that the good prices will con tinue' to prevail. - - This season's "crop -of Oregon prunes is of splendid quality, with a heavy sugar content, and grow ers have had no difficulty in dis posing of their product. Most of the prunes have already been bought up and contracted with commission men. couraging. ! Some Going' to France The French prune crop is not no large this year, but the quality in general is very good. - For this reason, French producers are un willing to put -their goods on the market at the prevailing low price there, and, to supply the demand for' prunes in their markets, the French brokers are buying Oregon and California prunes at a good frice Small sized prunes con inue to meet favor -with French buyers, and the price on small sizes has , advanced accordingly. Fear .is expressed that there will be an over-stocking of the large sizes. ' - t - ' i Inferior IiOt Cheaper I A telegram received Tuesday from H. R. Jones, of the Drager Fruit . company,, indicated that - a number of concerns weo quoting prunes at a lower price, just at a time when conditions seemed to be favorable for even-a rise.
