SUED FOR
BREAKING
CONTRACT
PRUNE BUYING FIRM CLAIMS
NORTHWEST FRUIT AssoCIA-
TIoN WENT BACK ON IT'S con-
TRACT TO DELIVER PRUNEs.

Early this spring, according to the
allegations set forth In suit for
damages which was Instituted in the
circuit court for this county this
morning, when the market for dried
fruits was very much OF an uncer-
tainty the Northwest Fruit Associa-
tlon, an organization of fruit grow
ers in the vicinity of Albany, con-
tracted carload OF this years pro-
duct OF evaporated Italian prunes up
on the bulk basis OF 3 cents per
pound, but when the time for delly-
cry came the market had advanced
above this price, ard they refused TO
deliver, and the purchasing party,
Reid, Murdock A. Company. of Chi
cago, was Obliged to buy the fruit
upon the bulk basis of ~ cents per
pound in consequence of which Reid,
Murdoch & Company are asking the
court for a judgment for damages
in the sum of 800.
This is not an unusual occurrence
in the hop business, but II is the first
case OF its kind to have transpired
in the fruit industry to date, and the
case will doubtless attract wide at
tention. Reid, Murdoch & Company
of Chicago, are the largest Arm OF
evaporated fruit dealers in the coun-
try and purchase Oregon prunes In
great quantities every year for East
ern and foreign delivery. In the
complaint this firm claims that they
contracted with the Northwest Prune
Association, OF Albany, on May 20.
1910, for the purchase of a carload
of Italian prunes, of assorted grades,
ranging from 20-40s TO $4,000, ag-
gregating 1926 boxes upon the g.
cent bulk basis, subject to delivery In
October I. o. b. cars at Albany. On
October 20, when demand was made
for delivery Of the prunes upon the
contract II is charged that the de-
fendant association failed and re-
lubcu W utitNNI tue Booubf OuA ih-
mediately went into the open market
for prunes Of the exact grade and de-
scription OF the quality specified in
the contract, and the plaintiff was
compelled TO pay the advance price
In order to secure the fruit.
Reid, Murdoch g. Company assert
that the difference between the Scent
and AZ -cent bulk baids is $500. In
which amount they demand damages.
