FOREIGN PRUNES
HAVE NO EFFECT
ON NPR|CES HERE

The California Fruit News, nn-
der date Of December 2, discusses
the effect Of foreign prunes in the
market and holds that as ship
ments from Bosnia and Serbia are
almost entirely of the smallest
sizes, the advent Of these prunes
will have but little effect on the
market. The Fruit News, which
is regarded as authority in Cali
fornia, says.
"There is some competition on
the Atlantic coast with California
prunes from Jugo-Slavia tnern;a-
Serbia) in which New York inn
porters are bringing in some guam
titles OF small sizes which are
quoted at prices laid down, duty
paid, materially below the parity
OF similar prunes from California.
But California is well out Of small
sizes and this competition cannot
mean much even II the foreign
prunes were Of comparable quail
ity,"

for keeping open the straits of the

time of peace and war provides
for the appointment of an inter
national commission of control
composed Of the great powers, in
cluding the United States, as well
as Turkey and the countries bor-
dering on the Black sea.
Shift Comes Suddenly
A change of front by the Tur-
kish delegates was forecast while
the conference was in session. "A
Turkish spokesman outside the
auditorium said the Turkish po-
sition on the straits control would
probably be found nearer to the
allied plan than to the Russian.
Lord Curzon Of Great Britain,
in the name Of the Allies, present
ed the details of this comprehens-
i've project.
Balk at Expense
The Turks, 1t appeared, had
suddenly realized that the Rus
sian plan for control by Turkish
warships would force Turkey to
build a navy. Hence doubts had
risen in the minds of the Turkish
delegates, who seemed more dis
posed to negotiate a scheme for
naturalization of the straits at
the Black sea with some form of
international control.
