New York practically regulates the market for this country and the Journal of Commerce, publish ed in New York city, recognized as authority on the dried fruit situ ation, is also rather uncertain as to whether the car shortage and slowness in deliveries has had any detrimental effect on the market. Market Holds Firm. Under date November 29, the Journal of Commerce says: "There Is very little buying of dried fruit at source, but enough backed by nntimism of packers, to maintain prices. There is congestion In de liveries, leading to no large sur plus in any of the Jobbing mar kets." A few days later, the dried fruit situation in New York called for the following from the Journal of Commerce, under date of Decern ber 1: "Thn nrune market is quiet. In California independents are doing some offering. Independents say their prices are based on costs and there is nothing to warrant ram cal changes in either direction rri. , ...11. r.t a hnnm In thP 1 U U I C IB kill WJ " " " market of prunes, but neither is there any break in the market. rn, Vni-V Tftmlenfw Down- The prune' situation remained about the same for a few days In New York, as the same tlnanciai naDer. under date of December 4 carries the following comments on thA dried fruit situation: "The prune market Is not a weak one, so much as it is a dull one.

With .'the uncertainty . ot amounts of stock on hand on the Pacific coast, eastern buyers ap pear to be up in the air as to whether the market is due for any rhAnees. Under date of December 6, the Journal of Commerce says: "Wires nit iBttpm nhow no change in tne dried fruit situation. Packers ad mit there is no heavy buying, but there is no weakness shown in California by independent opera tors', who look forward to a steady movement during the balance of the season to clear stocks. With the arrival today of Bteamers tend ing to create a surplus stock, there Is a disposition to shade prices. "While some interest has been shown in December and January trading, there has been a lull in this form of business."

(adv) By defeating, the sophomores yesterday afternoon, winners over the Juniors the afternoon previ ous, the seniors of the Salem high school are the winners in the inter-class basketball. The score yesterday was 22-11. The sophomores took the lead at the start and held it for the most of the first half. They could not stand the pace that they were forced to travel and the sen iors with some excellent team work ended the period with the score 8-3 In their favor. The sec ond half enough shots which came so near and jet didn't go thru were missed to win an ordinary game. Three sensational .long shots by Lewis Glrod, soph, were made In this half. For the winners It can hardly be said that any particular per son was the star. All played well and played team work. They were much taller and larger than the first yaar men and used their size to advantage. The little fellows also played well but with opposing players towering over them it was a hard fight for them. They didn't slack en when they saw that they were defeated but fought to the clos ing lstle. DALLAS HIGH ALUMNI PLAN ANNUAL BANQUET Dallas, Or.. Dec. 14.

(adv) Dallas, Dec. 14. Dallas bus iness men will give a free picture show Saturday afternoon, and John C. Uglow, manager of the Majestic theatre, where the pic ture will be shown, promises that it will be a good one. The matter of putting on such a show was brought to the at tention of C. L. Crider, a progres sive local merchant, who said that the way to bring it about was to get out and hustle for the neces sary money. Nobody else seemed to have the time or inclination to do the work so Mr. Crider started forth and in the short space of 25 minutes had raised the necessary sum and was back in his store. This is. the second experiment that has been made In the giving of free shows in Dallas. The first occasion was when the show was given in connection with a Dallas dollar day. This occasion will mark the heighth of the Christ mas buying season. These free shows are for people from the country. It is easily pos sible for Dallas people to fill the theatre, but if they do the good effects of the move is lost. Farm ers can come in with all their children, and if they desire, can have the children at the show while the elders transact their business. Or if desirable the entire family can attend the show. The Idea is that too many local peo ple atended the last show, with the result that some of the coun try people complained that they were unable to get into the thea tre. This must not be the case Saturday. It Ib expected that the result of this effort will be so satisfac tory that as soon as arrangements can be made the free shows will be a regular Saturday afternoon feature in Dallas. This show and possibly others will be undertak en independent of any organization. It's our idea that it is downright unfair to raise an innocent young king with no preparation what ever for private life. IAS CONCERT AT i I HURSDAY Oregon Normal School, Dec. 14.
