THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1913. LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVKH, ." PAGE TWO --. " I I i APPLES HUNT I MARTS Front In the mate of California baa helped the apple crop. Shipment to that section have been made and the quotatlona are 25 to 50 cents higher than they were three weeks ago. It Is figured that' (he apple will have to take the place of the golden orange on the market generally. Mood River Ins gotten r'd of most of the or dinary grades and now have only the fancy and. extra fancy on ' band. Ap ples have advanced about SO cents . a box over ' the , early winter price and the widespread damage to the fruit of the : famous southern coast state will have tbe effect of raising the price to normal. Eastern buyers have been attempting to e cure large contracts of apples ' but the sellers' are not In the mood to . sell whole lot at once on account of the shortage of oranges. Western men are to the east looking over the 'market condition for themselves and will likely market their own apples. , It Is bound to give the apples of tbe Grande Ronde valley a boost even though they do not enjoy the repu Katlon of the famous Hood 1 River stock.' As soon as ibe supply of or ages Is exhausted there will be a general demand for apples and then the valley will come into- ita own. Some of the enterprising men of the vaMey with large supplies of ap ples on hand will ship south, perhaps Into California and other states. This will do much to advertise the pro duct, besides realizing a ' normal profit. Most of the . fruit Is in good condition and the remaining months of winter will help dispose of the stock on hand. Those who hold most of the year's output may yet reallxe good profits.' Fruit, EU. . Home grown apples--75c6$1.00 a box. .
