ACTIVE MARKET
FOR DRIED FRUITS
IN GOLDEN STATE
An active market has been In
progress during the past ten day
in dried fru.t. with first haad

markets are evincing a material
interest In prompt supplies, which
is as has been expected, spot sup
piles In distributing channels
1 hi oughout the country In dried
fruits being small, says the Culifor
nia r'rult News.
Prunes, In particular, have at
tracted the intercut of the trade,
and since the announcement of the
advance In prices by the Califor
nia Prune and Apricot Growers
association, the prune market has,
been especially active. The asso
ciation tells us that it soUl up the
allotments assigned for sale be
tween the announcement of the
new price and their taking effect.
The New York market, tn particu

in this line.

that It Is now Kitting low even on

is concerned, as with the associa
tion's Idea of what it will need for
canon purposes In Ihewe sizes, it
finds itself without any heavy sur

firm, the whole prune list Is In
good shape. The association has
withdrawn on "Eijuulity" brand

withdrawn on "Sunsweet" In this
size is not quoting 20-30S at all

the prune association advanced its

Commercial packers are now quot

BRITISH REVIEW
OF PRUNE TRADE
FOR PAST YEAR
J. C. Houghton & Co., brokers
of Liverpool, Kng.and, in their
dried fruit circular review in 3 th
1924 season, have the following to
say on prunes:
"Calif ornian prunes-Undoubted
Iy tho outstanding feature was the
clearance of 192, and the heavy
sales of 1923 crop fruit. At the
commencement of the year large
quant It iej of the former remained
unsol I, and this considerably af
fected aules of 1923 pack, owing to
the (.receding year's of feting being
so much cheaper. 1922 crop sold
freely during January, February
March and April, but buyer were
also purchasing fair quantities of
1923 during the two last named
months, liy the middle of the year
the older fruit was practically
cleared up, and buyer had to con
fine their attention to 1923 stocks.
During August prices were quoted
for 1924 crop, and considerable
business was done In 30-40 and
40-50; price, however, gradually
declined, especially on 30-403.
"The rise in sterling exchange
was mainly responsible for the de
cline in values. Buye-'s anticipated
further monei'iry appreciation, and
consequently, during November and
December, buying eased off very
considerably. Owing to the short
age of Oregon, French and Bos
nian, fairly large quantities of
small sized California!), viz., 70-80,
80-90 and 90-100, were sold, and
thee descriptions advanced 2s to
3s per cwt.
"Oregon prune A steady trade
has taken place throughout the
year and such variation in price
a we have had is entirely due to
exchange fluctuations. At the be
ginning of August opening prices
were named for new crop, 30-40s
at 62, 40-50s at 42s. but quota
tions were quickly withdrawn.
These si jus were next quoted at
58s and 4K respectively, and fair
amount of business paased. . Very
few offers of email prunes have
been made, and this Is reflected in
the heavy buying of Cat if ornian."

Barker told the committee that
he was suspended from the fed

he thought the affair ot the $100
had something to do with it. In
reply to questions by Senator Ed

came (torn Washington, D. C, to
investigate him, and gave tiieir
names.
"Did that have anything to do

"Yes, sir," answered the wit

Questions asked by Senators Ed

the federal department had co

why.

'Prior lo the establishment of

operate with It for two reasuns.
The first reason was that we
couldn't bother with 'hip-pocket
stuff, and the second was that, ac
cording to reports. Cleaver's men
were making raids that they had
no right under the law to make.'
Mitchell explained that the fci
eral department had instructions
from Washington to the etfee
that enforcement of the prohib:
lion law required that the depart
ment give its attention to big
cases, such as smuggling an.
moonshinlug. "We were instruct
ed not to waste our time on the
bootlegger," he said. "When we
get a moonshiner we cut off the
supply from probably a doen
bootleggers In Portland."
Condemns Aeents.

in his eelection of men. He cit
W. M. MeMills. "This man," he
said, "drove his automobile into a
ditch near Milwaukie while he
was intoxicated, and the girl who
was with him had to go to 1!
hospital."
Mitchell said he couldn't recall
Cleaver ever asking co-operat!on
from his office.
Asked about co-operation be
tween the federal department and
the sheriffs and district attorney-,
Mitchell said:
"When we first started out wc
had to seek the co-operation of
the county officers, and we cat '.fed
conferences of sheriffs In various
places. We put our cards on the
table. We asked the help of ;he
sheriffs and told them that we
never would send a man into their
counties behind their backs, but
would send our men directly to
them."
Mitchell said that although ht
had recommended the passage of
the state act, he believed the
Bheriffs took the measure as an
intimation that they were not
honest and not doing their duty.
Thoiipht Sheriffs Delinouent.
"J. think," be said, "that Cleav
er and Herwig had an Idea nva
the start that the sheriffs were
not doing their duty. The state
agents went Into the counties be
hind the sheriffs' backs and talk
ed about the local officers. It
Cleaver's men had gone directly lo
the sheriffs and sought their as
sistance and offered assistance in
return I believe there would havo
been no trouble. I am satisfied
that both Cleaver and Governor
Pierce think some ot the sheriffs
are crooked."
Mitchell described what he
termed "a very unhappy confer
ence" that took place in the gov
ernor's office between himself.
Dr. Linville and the governor,
following Instructions from Wash
ington to confer with the gov
ernor. "In the course ot our conversa
tion," eaid Mitchell, "Governor
Pierce slammed his fist on tlu
table and declared, 'I'll tench theve
sheriffs to enforce the law. I'll
make thera toe the mark.' '
Cleaver Questioned

a conspiracy to "get" them. He
said that be had received verbal
complaints about Senator McNLry,

Cleaver submitted letters from the
governor authorizing him to ad
vance $1500 to Herwig to be urfi'J
.a the law enforcement investiga
tions of Weinberg, and that Her
wig had been requested to return
an itemized statement of the UJ(

satisfied to wait for this stuV.

under an indictment.
Herwig was called to the stand
and quesitoned at length by a
number ot the committeemen, par
ticularly about Weinberg.
Herwhj's Testimony.
"The Anti-Saluon league," h
said, "was Interested in the larger
operations ot liquor coming In
from Canada, and need a very able
investigator. I knew ot Weill

for the Anti-Saloon league for 14
year.
"Who paid him when he- cam
to Oregon?" asked Eddy.
"He was paid from private
sources.
"Was he paid- any money by thi
state:
"I furnished him $1500 of aUi
money through Cleaver and the
fiovernor. The governor agreed
that Weinberg would be valuable
for an Investigation in Canada
and cities to the north to stud
the entire rum-runnine business.
I receipted for the $1600 and it
was turned directly over to Wein
berg."

"No, sir."
Herwig declared that neither
Cleaver nor the Anti-Saloen
league were co-operating wit
Dr. Linville's department because
"Linville huti made co-operation
impossible." This was due partial
