The reports of the prune market
have never lieen more unfavorable than
this year, and dire predictions are
made for the future', by some independ

business slowly wrested from them by
the associations, yet on the whole the

prune trees are
very- prolific producers, and at these
prices are a good paying crop, such
as will lift mortgages and build up
bank accounts. The amount of prunes

pouniis, at iHth JSalem ami Koseburg,
and ot these 44U,hk, rkunls were

as were handled last year, as the crop

Since the advent of the holidays the I
trade in prunes has been very light in
deed, as in almost every line of busi'
n ess, .ami tbe-market lias not yet re
covered from 'its lethargy, but in the
mean time prices have not suffered in
the least, having rather become
strengthened, as holders of stocks did
not make the fatal mistake of forcing
the market,'1-' a tid now the situation
looks- brighter '-than ever before, this
season, as stocks in tho East are neadly
cleaned up
On account of the temporary strin
troubles, and several other causes,

ular fruit. The report has always been
that the world's crop was short, and
this theory was upheld by the statistics
from the several pro'ducing countries.
but notwithstanding this condition, the j
coast dealers became frightened at the I
small immediate demand, and sacrificed
prices to mako sales. Tho time has
now come when the Kastern people
must have prunes and, from this time
on, a lively market is anticipated. It
is certain that there will be no diffi
culty in selling the remaining stock in
the hands of the growers, ami as the
Association controls atxuit three-fourths
of it in this tstate, the price is likely
to advance rather than decline.
The New York-Journal r ,"ommerc
which is considered the most reliable
and unbiased market pajer published,
contained the following article in its
issue of Januarv 4, 1;m")4, which gives
a good insight into the present condi
tion of the prune market, and is there
fore reproduced for th benefit iof the
Statesman's large cirele of Readers
amoiig the prune growers:
"The Oregon prune situation is be
ginning to 'develop signs of strength
which a -Short time since would have

was much grumbling among growers
over the lack of , demand and the fact
that less than one-half of the 90,0 or
loon carloads of Oregon Italian prunes
produced this season had been solL At
that time it was said a basis price of
even 1 5-8 cents was not sufficiently
attractive to interest Kastern buvers.
'It does not appear that the demand
I from the East hAs materially improved j
in the interim, but other causes for the
iiiuinii
time at least eoually potent have been
at work to give the market tone. The
most important of these influences ap
pears to have been the work of tbe
various associations in getting control
of - the stocks, "which so long as they
remained in the bands of individual
growers were pressed , for sale at con
stantly lessened prices. A nUtrm.nt
tissuing a few days ago from! one of the
most influential of these organizations,
the Willamette Fruit Growers' Asso
ciation, was to the effect that 400 to
450 cars would easuy cover' all that
remained unsold of the current crop,
and that of this quantity 75 per cent
is in the hands of the several associa
tions. This statement finds support it
the stronger tenor of advices received
from Oregon during the past week, ami
the evident disposition on the part nf
holders there to make no further con
cessions tn the way of lower prices as
inducement to Eastern buyers.
"la the Eastern market in common
with California prunes, Oregons have
come in for an unusual amount of at
tention for this time oi the year, and

a firmer tone.- The srarit f ,If:inan
