PRUNE PRICES. California prune growers combine and get something for their fruit. Here is Oregon they sell for whatever prise the buyer e*-et fit to fix. Here is something from a recent issue of the San Jose Mercury that would open the eyes of Oregon growers: According to an Oregon paper the prune growers of that state are receiving this year $12 a ton for fresh prunes delivered at tbe driers’ which is two dollars better than the prioe last year. These prunes, most of them, dry U sixties or bet ter. What would tbe prune grow ers of Santa Clara valley think of the business if they would get only $12 green for their trail delivered at the drier? Prices of grt jn prunes in this valley apprt ximate $30 for the average orcha d this year, which is two and a naif times the Oregon price. SCHLEY IS A LIGHTER. Oregonlao. Ksp.
