PRUNE ADVANCE IS SEEN DAILY Prunes are advancing almost daily these days. A 10-cent base Is being paid by packers to growers In the field for Santa Claras run ning to average the larger sizes. Old crop prunes are so nearly a thing of the past that they may be consid ered out and all factors here are now in the market quoting new crop prunes, says the California Fruit News. The crop Is falling down and packers generally do not be lieve that there are many unsold prunes In the hands of growers out side of the association. The gov ernment crop report as of August 1 reports a decline In the condi tion of prunes from the high tem peratures In June and July, which caused a heavy drop. This has applied particularly to the Sacra mento and San Joaauln valleys. Red spider Is also reported as seri ous In the Santa Clara valley in prunes. Estimates of the crop are being reduced and are getting down to be not very much above half of last year for California. The world's prune production this year as com pared with last looks today like 75.000 tons short. Packers have been buying prunes very actively In the country lately but have somewhat slacked up un der price advances. In the Pacific northwest the prune production Is not showing quite so large an In dication m earlier, according to present belief, and a very lame nro- portton of the tonnage In Northwest Italians has already been bought irom growers by packers, quota tions here on Oregon-Washington Italian prunes, are, In 29-pound vuxes: w- nu -0o io iou, u-wi ....BSO 9 0-70 049 i Salem Markets Compiled from report of Salem dealers, tor the guidance of Capita Journal readers.

BOTTOM DROPS FROM MARKET, CHICAGO WHEAT Chicago Oft The bottom dropped out of the wheat market Wednesday and prices shot dowi lower than the trade has seen for some tune. The extremely heavy selling pressure was brought by the announcement of the embargoing- of Minneapolis and Duluth to oats, rye and barley, as the trade feared a like embargo on wheat. Again, with no exports re ported of any volume and wheat pouring into the primary terminals operators fear a tie-up of great ex tent. Corn dropped lower with wheat after a strong opening, and oats were fractionally lower although remarkable firmness was shown throughout the session. At the close, wheat was off b to 6 5-8 cents, corn was 4 to 1 5-8c lower and oats were down to 1 cents. By the month, September, March and May wheat were off 5- 5-8 cents and December was down 5H cents. Cash corn was unchanged to half cent lower. Offerings to (arrive from the country were 97 cars estimated. Oats receipts at Chicago were 173 cars, cash grain was cent lower. Portland (IP) A sudden bearish attack on Portland wheat markets Wednesday sent prices down and caused the largest volume of trading recoraea on me new futures mar ket. Losses of iy to 3 cents a bushel were shown at the close of the fu tures option market while the mer chants exchange cash prices were aown 4 w 4 cents. The break was caused bv unoffi cial reports from France of a crop oi approximately dOU,uuu,UUU to 400, 000,000 bushels. PEACHES DROP IS LATEST WORD Peach production In the United States Is turning out to be but one- third of the earlier estimates this on, which were favorable for a large crop, due to the ravages of the pium curcuuo, according to a re cent .statement made by Dr. A. L. Quaintance, associate chief of the bureau of Entomology of the United states department of agriculture, in the California Fruit News. The present crop, he said, Is particu larly disappointing In the middle Atlantic states, the central states and the south. The large neach surplus last year, by making con ditions more favorable for the plum curcuuo, prevented another large year and this season's crop turned out far below expectations. Due to the surplus last year, many peaches rotted on the trees and went to waste In the orchards, thus form ing Ideal conditions for the spread of this fruit pest. WOODBURN CANNERY ADDS TOEQUIPMENT The Ray-Brown company has been busy the past month adding new machinery and equipment to take care of the Increased tonnage of pears. and other fruits which It has already contracted, says a state ment by E. J. Hodge, superintend ent. "It has been rumored that the force of help would be materially reduced due to this new equipment however, this Is not true as a larg er crew of women will be employed to prepare the fruit than were a year ago and registrations are be ing accepted daily," continued Mr Hodge. "Bartlett pears are now coming In at the rate of four cars per day and operations on the fruit is ex pected to start Monday, August 26. After the completion of the pear and prune run, apples will be can ned and It Is expected that the season will last until December 15 at least. "The cannery Is now running on blackberries, and It will be neces sary to put on a night shut u soon as the pear season starts." KIWANIANS END CONVENTION HERE ConUnued from page 1) hall Monday evening was the most successful and the most enjoyable convention dance he has seen. Governor T. Harry Oowman nre- slded at the district banquet served In the armory Tuesday evening to more than 900 guests. At that time Dr. Wllford H. Belknap of Portland. was called to the speakers' table and presented with the prise win ning trophy for making the best speech on a Klwanls subject during tne district speaking contest held Tuesday morning.

RAILROADS PUT EMBARGO UPON OAT SHIPMENTS St. Paul W) All railroads fn the northwest Wednesday, ordered an embargo on shipments of rye, barley and oats from August 23 to August 31 in compliance with re commendations made Tuesday by the northwest shippers' advisory board. Lack of storage space at termin al elevators and warehouses In mlnneapolis, 8t. Paul, Duluth and Superior was given as the reason for the embargo. Officials of the shippers advisory board said they hoped further embargoes might be avlded, although the move ment of grain about September 1 will govern the decision at that time. Loading and unloading of cars at terminal markets have been de layed, It was pointed out, because of sluggish demad for rye, barley and oats, which have been support ed In unusually heavy amounts for this time of year. The heavy movement of these grains has ham- pered movement of wheat, corn and flax, for which there Is a more active market. LAUNCH PLANE FROM DIRIGIBLE (Continued from page 1) another hook to the tail jot the plane and another yoke further back on the dirigible. It was ex plained. After flying together for several minutes the plane was cut loose from the airship as the pilot drew the hook from the yoke and swung his craft toward the ground. The test was made in accordance with Lieutenant-Commander Her bert V. Wiley's project to develop the scheme until as many as six planes can be carried at one time. He recently announced his inten tion of taking the Los Angeles up at every opportunity to make more experiments.

Tha 110 tons were sold at cento a pound or a return of $11,000 as compared to 60 tons sold at 44 cents a pound or return of tMOO, or a difference of S5600 In the re turn on the yard In two fears. The overhead, with the exception of the cost of picking, was ths same) fore the two years and In addition there was a heavy cost for fertlll aation, an application of a 50-56) preparation of nitrate of soda and superphosphate, 500 pounds to tha acre being put on the patch to) addition to 100 tons of straw. Mr. McOllchrist figures that tha cold spring was responsible for the short crop this year, as ho states that the yard was spotted all through with berries which nev er matured and which Just start ed to grow and make berries. Re believes that the future of the loganberry Industry lies largely In what is done In the development, of the frown berry market. Bus father on a trip to England last year made considerable Inquiry and reached the belief that England can raise all the loganberries It needa for Its own consumption and It waa the English market which two years ago caused the revival of the lo ganberry Industry. The wgrii market wanted the logans because of a failure of the raspberry crop. As the raspberry crop fails only now an then this cannot be de pended on to keep the loganberry going at any very high rata of peed. "The future of the loganberry depends upon the American mar ket,1' stated McOllchrist, "and I be lieve its place there will depend upon how the frozen berry eventu ally goes over.'1 20 Portland and Return Via Oregon Electric Tickets on sale Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays; return Unit Tues days or $O.50Daily tm 15-Day Return limit Reduced Round Trip Fares Between All O.
