The advance of Magma Copper shares
on the curb is due to the fact that very
rich ore has been struck in the cross
cut on the L,5OO-foot level, according to
advices from New York. Heretofore all
development work has been on the 200
foot level. The management of the COM
pany states that while the ore on the
l.JO0-foot level runs high in copper, no
development work has yet been done on
that level and it is impossible at this

prune interests for the more favorable
sizes Is not above 6 1-2c a pound In
the Willamette valley and in Clarke
county, Washington, as high as &c ba-
sis has been offered in a limited way
during the last "a hours, refleeting a
much stronger tone in the general sit
uation.
While the prune crop of Idaho has
been ruined, according to reports, both
the Willamette valley and the Vancou-
yer, Wash, sections will likely have
the largest output for several seasons
The aggregate production for the
northwest is therefore expected to be
somewhat above the normal
This means that prune growers OF
this section are in line for much great
er profits than for a number of years.
The condition of the prune market
throughout the country is rather fa-
vorable at this time, and an early
movement of the crop of the north
west is anticipated.
Prune crop prospects are thus Civ
en- by the Browers' Information Blu
reau of California:
"Since the date or our last report
our correspondents have quite gener-
ally reported an improvement in prune
crop prospects. Tulare and Kings
counties now promise a full crop, the
largest on record. according to some
reports.
In considering this report it should
be borne in mind that according to

Ruling Has Hurt the Flour Trade

PORTLAND, ore, June 16.-The
ruling Of the state railway commits
sion in putting up the minimum
weights on flour to $4,000 pounds
from 10000 pounds, has hurt the flour
trade. The ruling goes into effect
July /.
Mlllers assert that the action was
taken without even consulting them
and that the raising OF the minimum
means that the average country buy
er Of flour will suffer. Few country
buyers purchase more than $4,000
pounds Of flour at time and up to
a short time ago these were given the
carload freight rate. Now such buy
ers must either overstock themselves
or else pay a higher freight rate
The market for flour is extremely
