Prunes Will Be Cheap.

Producers and handlers of prunes are facing a great overproduction this year and a consequent fall in prices. The California and Oregon crop is estimate! 1 at 150,000,(MX) pounds and there is a ‘‘carry-over’’ from last year of 50,000,000 pounds. The crop in Bosnia, Servla and France is estimated at 400,000,000 pounds, so that the'American producers cannot expect any export demand to relieve the situation. Of the 90,000 Catholics in Japan 10,• 000 live in Tokio.
