Under date of March 1 the North western Fruit Exchange Issued tho following bulletin: Tim apple market continues to eliow gradual Improvement, and there is a very strong feeling among hold ers" of cold storage stock. With the advancing prices certain districts are dropping out, but as the supply Is very limited there Is no difficulty In selling at very attractive prices all offerings that are In first class con dition and of good quality. The following scales will serve to show the strength of the situatien: Preferred G12C from Medford, Oregon,- March 1st, ISO 3' tier, 350 1 tier, 190 ! tier fancy Ben Davis, at $2.00 per box, delivered Amarlllo, Texas. Tho freight being $1.00 per hundred, this Is equivalent to $1.50 per box f. o. b. for fancy lien Davis.

Relative to the prices recently pub lished by tho exchange covering this season's operations In tho Cashmere, Washington district, the following in cident will bo found Interesting Several days ago, Mr. C. E. Wills ler, a prominent fruit grower of Southern Oregon camo Into the office of the exchange and stated that a good many growers hnd stated to hi in that these averages wcro "re markable, If true." Mr. Whisler stated to us frankly that wo had ad vertised our willingness to permit any fruit grower to vertlfy these fig ures, and that he was here for tho purpose of vertifying them. Ho sel ected three varieties: Sultzenbergs. Newtowns and Jonathans. Wo turn ed over to mt. Wlilsler nil or our original records which ho checked against our statement. At the con clusion of his examination it was seen that tho published prices were oxactly correct, not a single mis take of any kind being found, the following averages being vertlflcd: Extra Fancy Fancy Choice Spltzenbergs ..$2.0ll $1.85 $1.35 Yellow New towns 1.47 1.49 1.00 Jonathans 1.15 1.41 1.09 Furthermore, It was shown that the Spltzenbergs represented in this statonient were shipped in fifteen different cars which were sold In twolvo different markets, In all four quarters of the country. Mr. Whis ler expressed himself as being great ly Impressed with this Bhowing, and took his original statements with him. This Instances serves to Illustrate tho open policy of this exchango In dealing with the fruit growers of the Northwest. Tho same spirit illus trated In this incldont Is typical of tho oxchango's nttitude In all mat ters affecting the Industry. 'CALIFORNIA ORAXfiK COl'XTRY" Hoautlfully Illustrated In four col ors.
