BRING 9 1 2 CENTS
An opening price of 9 cents
c-n strawberries established with
the Central California Berry Grow
ers association by cunners for the
19ZS crup, nab caused considerable
comment here in light of the fact
that the strawberries in this sec
tion all went for from 6 to 8 cents.
fe-ttersbergs here, the finest straw
berries, admittedly, that ever went
Into a can, only commanded 8 centa
and growers were congratulating
themselves on the price. It is gen
eraiiy conceded the California bci
ry cannot touch the berry here for
canning purpose. It is stated that
increased costs of picking becnuse
of new agricultural laws In Cali
fornia, had something to do with
the price. In commenting on the
California price the New York Jour
nal of Commerce says;
Thj opening prico to canners
for strawberries of the 1925 crop
has been established at 9 lie a
pound, according to announcement
made In Sun Francisco by the Cen
tral California Berry Growers as
sociation. This is Ho above the
cannery quotation that prevailed
last season, but officials of the
producers' organisation point out
that the rate of increase is but lit
tle more than 6 pr cent and that
ihe general situation fully war
rants the comparatively slight
rulse. Growers will not be able to
chalk up the to extra profit. It
was said, for tne reason that the
cost of picking has advanced since
certain agricultural laws went into
effect In California last year. The
i4 nacx or strawberries hns been
virtually cleaned up and a heav
ier aemand for tho fruit on the
rart of preserve man jfacturerw Is
looked for during the present sea
son, as Indicated by the orders
piuced to date. The last cron win
short on account of unfavorable
growing conditions and narkom
fulled to obtain enough berries to
fill their requirements.

GOLDEN STATE
IS
SHORT IS CLAIM
The firt estimates on the 1925
California prune crop received
here havo come from a San Fran
cisco broken to Robert C. Paul us,
the estimate stating that contrary
to expectations there will not be
a bumper crop in California as ex
pected, but It will probablv run
along about 175.000.000 pounds a
compare 1 to the 240,000,000 of last
year. While, the broker states, It
is dangerous to make estimates
Jiwt now. nevertheless cold weath
er has given the crop a setback
which makes a decreased estimate
most reasonable.
Spot stocks of prunes, the brok
er states, are finding some little
inquiry, indicating that wholesal
ers are out, out have not garner
ed ihi nerve to buy in carload lots.
hp states that io doub: tho mar
ket can be stiffened In the next
two weeks If the prune association
cares to and he aayu no doubt the
association will stiffen the market
to a certain ext?tit If It get any
appreciable business encourage
nient.
The broker says that anrlofs
are showing up well, with possibly
per cent more than last sea
son. It Is impossible to say. he
.suites, what per cent will be dried
until canners and hrr-en fruit
handlers have had their crack at
the crop.
The apple crop will be llgnt, he
predict, probably not more than
60 per font of the 1924 crop.
Peaches and pears look goo-.l. he
says, an-1 a crop is fai.iy well as
sured an the danger from frost Is
about over. The broker states
that the California Pocking cor
poration Is now holdinsr orobablv
only about 3000 tons of prunes, a
i-m.iii u mount lor in em.
rautus also received word tnrinv
from K. J. Boddy, with the Wash
ington Growers association at Van
couver, that Clarke county will not
nave a oumper crop this vear. Roil
dy statod that both young and old
orchards that had good care, look
pretty well, but old orchards that
nere nt'gjecteu arc looking uriiv
sick.

TO BUY FRUITS
Announcement has been made
that Ed UU'hn has been placed In
charge of th situation here for
Young Si Wells; Spokane fruit buy
ers, for the purpose of buying
cherries and L. W. Wells, In a let
ter Just received here, states he
will be back about a week from
.Monday to make arrangements for
a permanent location. The firm
this year plnns to handle black
cherries, pear and apples. Wheth
er anything else will be handled
depend on crop and weather con
ditions. Announcement Is reiterated that
they intend to pay a cash price for
all fruit purchased and hope to
clean up a big block of black cher
ries here on a cash basis, regard
less of the fact that heavy blocks
of the tonnage are reported to
be signed u with other fjrms.
Lenney A company, operating so
far on a consignment contract, has
the heavy end of the tonnage. The
black chorry pool will handle about
30 oars, according to present esti
mates. On the pear deal, the tentative
plans, dependent on crop condi
tions, are to buy pears on the same
basis as apples, that Is to buy or
chard run on all but culls and
grade them In the packing house,
cash being paid. The apple deal. It
is expected, will nsdume even larg
er magnitude than the apple deal
of last year, which Indicated that
Willamette valley apples carried
all right last year and found a
market, regardless of the many
prophesies made to the contrary.

Portland, April 29 Local mohair
L-uyers have re.luced their bids to
country shippers approximately
five cent a pound In the post
week. Pest offer today for long
f.t a p le d el 1 vered fort la n d are 4 6
cents a pound with short staple
at 40 cents and burry at 2Zhk cents
a pound. Bids for kid hair have
i-ecn reduced to 10 cents a pound
nenvere-i j'ortinna.
Weakness in the mohair market
at this time Is attributed to the Ir
regular trend In wool.
KnKtorn wool prices continue
nominal arounl 50 ceits, grease
basis, for Delaines of tne better
ciaos. From B st n comes reports
of some good fleeces of fine qual
ity and goon: long staple e)llng
lower than 50 cents.
While no great activity Is noted
in Oregon wool at the moment,
dealers here look for the biggest
wool sc-iflon In years. The asso
ciation has moved Into their new
lcation, the Pacific Wool and
Warehouse at 12th and Davis, and
now have accommodations for
about 8,000.000 pounds of wool as
compared to 3,5W,000 pounds at
tneir old location. -
Many new members have Joined
ti e cooperatives, with some of the
largest wool growers in the Pacific
northwest now lined up with the
association, ant tnev exnect to
draw mora wool to Portland than
has come here in the past.
