ISH PRUNE A much better demand has ex isted In England for California prunes during the hist month and prices have hardened ono shilling six pence to two shillings per cwt. in nrounu. according to a report by J. C. Houghton & Co. of Liver pool. All sizes, with the exception of 80-90s and 90-100s, have been in request and even at the advanc ed prices, interest is being main tained. The first shipment of 1925 crop has just arrievd and is now going Into consumption. Offers of urcgon pru nes from t he Coast have been strictly limited to three sizes 25-35s, 30-40s and 35-45s. In Bosnian prunes, owlnir to tile high prices, business is at a stand still ; quotations are higher than Californians. Although currants showed signs of improvement in the early days of the month, the market develop ed renewed uneasiness later under freer offerings. The feature of Im portance in this line has been the nction of the Greek Government in arranging to purchase surplus of me crop on a sterling ba.sis In place of Greek currency. This has had a beneficial effect in stabilizing prices. It Is noticeable that a very large proportion of recent arrivals of Valencia raisins havo been of dis tinctly poor quality, tho better descriptions being decKSedly scarce. in sultanas, a great deal of pres sure was felt during the early part ol jMovcmiter, noiders displaying excessive desiro to unload. This was attributed mainly to the ex istence of lower values In Smyrna and upon reports of an advanced market abroad, a change for the better developed and were closed with a firmer tone. Special requests have been made to the growers of Australia by the government to- assist in maintain ing a higher standard of quality in the dried fruits. The recent re ciprocity trade treaty, which has been ratified between Canada and Australia, commenced on October 1, says the California Fruit News. The dried fruit board Is endeavor ing to secure to the grower the full benefit of the preference of ld a pound granted by Canada. This is in preparation for the next. sea son s fruit. Negotiations, It is stat ed, have taken place for adequate representation in Canadn. The dried fruit board has also request ed the Ministry to persist In its ef forts to obtain preferential tariff treatment In New Zealand. Up till this time ics than 50 per cent ot the dried fruits consumed In New Zealand have bf-en sent from Aus tralia. Arrangements have been made with the. Commonwealth Hank for accommodation up to 250,000 pounds but up to June 30 the total amount advanced on 1,- u J tons ot dried trulls was : 437 pounds. up iu lite time the lire blurted ut 5:40 this morn ins, the theory of road officials 1b that the fire de veloped from an overheated etove or the butt of a clgareUe. The chemical engine Went over from the local fire department but had difficulty, road officials state, and a switch engine equipped with fire fighting apparatus was rushed over from Salem and put out the fire. The construction train was in West Salem to make some re pairs on the steel bridge over the Willamette. I An outfit car and a cook car on a construction train ot the bridge and building gang No. 9 of the Southern Pacific were badly dam aged by fire in tho West Salem yards this morning, the fire evi dcnfcly starting in the cook cor About $400 in damage was done to the care nnd an equal amount to personal effects of the men.
