Show GOOD INDICATIONS FOR IflttJIT I Damagre to Eastern Crons Will Greatly Help Utah Utah fruit raisers and shippers are watching with great interest the reports re-ports from the east regarding the condition con-dition of the fruit crop there Present indications are that the supply will be very limited east of the Rocky Mountains Moun-tains and this will naturally increase the demand for the Utah and other western products Dealers anticipate much better prices and a heavier market than was the case last year The past seasons market for dried fruit was an extremely conservative one the product going almost directly to the consumers By the time the new crop is ready it is expected the market will be bare In this same connection the San Francisco Examiner of Friday contains the following interviews with two of the heaviest shippers on the Coast T T h I d jv Yimsuy in speaking of the out look i yesterday said it would be well for growers not to hold out for too high a price no matter how badly the crop had been damaged in the east He says that the greatest consumers of dried fruits are the wageearners and I they will under no circumstances use them if the prices go much above a normal value Highpriced fruits no I matter how much ot a necessity they may be are looked upon as luxuries I i by the class of people who are the greatest consumers and in times of I i depression the first retrenchment they make is by dispensing with the luxuries I lux-uries Mr Armsby said that it has been the i I experience of the trade that when the output is large and prices low the market mar-ket is thoroughly cleaned up by the I time the new crop is ready but when I there is a short season and prices are inclined to advance the growers hold their products at such a high figure that they are beyond the reach of consumers con-sumers with the result that a good i part of the years crop remains unsold I i This has been especially true of peaches and apricots and in giving his advice to the growers he says Make the crop of these two fruits as large as possible and when they offer I a fair remunerative figure sell out I instead of holding on for a better price which invariably fails to come He I thought that there would be no difficulty diffi-culty this year for the growers to make I good profits out of their peach and I i apricot orchards but he had some I doubts about the prunes For this lat I tel fruit he said there would always I be a good market at about four cents to the grower and it may be a trifle I better this season but above that h would not venture an opinion Porter Brothers had about the same views as Mr Armsby They could see no hope for raisins The market I was glutted with about GOO carloads i yet remaining with the growers wait ing for a market They thought however how-ever that they would all find an outlet out-let but prices would be small and they ventured an opinion that the corning corn-ing crop would find very little or no better market than the last |
