PRUNE MARKET IMPROVES
Sales Become More Frequent and
Prices Appear to be Quite
Firm.

The revival of business in the east
and the opening of manufacturing
establishments and other enterprises
employing labor has evidently had its
effect upon the prune market which
has been dormant for several weeks.
Though prices have not advanced,
packers report new inquiries for fruit
and Tillson & Company. Wednesday,
sold six carloads of prunes which they
were unable to sell before election.
Though there were few sales dur
ing the period of depression, packers
did not shade their prices in order to
move the goods. Neither did the prices
paid by packers to growers suffer a
decline, though few purchases were
made at a slight reduction. Neither
growers nor packers were seeking to
cut prices and those growers who held
through the period of depression are
generally firm holders yet. 1t is an
almost universal rule that the prune
crop this year was we'll cured and will
keep well, even if held through the
winter, Neither growers nor packers,
therefore, are compelled to get rid of
the fruit in order to avoid loss.
AS rule there is confidence in the
future of the prune market because of
the short supply and the prospect for
better demand as a result of improved
industrial conditions. The fact that
there is a good supply Of fruit other
than prunes creates some doubt
whether prices will materially ad-
vance, but there is no fear Of a decline
from present figures, Al for 35's and a
quarter of a cent less for each addi-
tional five points.-Oregonian.

MAY GAIN DOUBLE HONORS
Dallas Will Have Strong Team Both
at Home and In the East.

"The Oregons" are proving irwin
cible in basketball, lined up in prac-
tice against the team Of Dallas College.
When Fenton, the big forward, has
recovered from his sprained ankle
sufficiently to take his place, the ag-
gregation will be nearly as perfect a
basketball playing machine as can be
found in the United States.
The college team, salthough not in
the same class with the star aggrega-
tion, is proving fast and heady team
and will probably be making an envi-
able record In the state league, while
"The Oregons" are touring the East
ern States.
The system Of play used by the
college team is the same that has
characterized the teams of this city
for years and has made the name Of
Dallas first among the list Of basket
ball playing cities on the Pacific
Coast. Although, as team, the COL
lege aggregation is much lighter than
the one Of last year, the players are
speedy and experienced and will prove
formidable opponents to the other
teams In the state league.
The first league game Of the season
to be played in Dallas, is scheduled
for Saturday, November 2S, between
the local five and the team from
McMinnville.
'"The Oregons" will put in the
greater part of the coming month in
training for their tour and will leave
for the East about the middle Of
December.
