The condition of all apples was reported on August 1 at 40 per cent of normal. This indicates a crop of 146, HO, 000 bushels which would be &bou 8 per cent more than the short 1020- crop and about four-fifths of the average production for the previous-five years.

Washington, sheep are showing some shrinkage but still In good flesh. Idaho early lambs were very good with mtwt of the fat ones shipped. There Is little demand for old ewes and no contracts for feeder lambs. Sheep and lambs are in good con dition, being very good in the high ranges. Some decline In condition is shown In the drier parts of Mon tana,' Texas, Wyoming and slight shrinkage in parts of Oregon, Idaho, Nevada. Washington and Utah and a few other places. Sheep and lambs did welt during Jul in California, Colorado. New Mexico and Arizona. Present Indications are that lambs from dry areas may be a little lighter than last fall. Few feeder lambs have been contracted and there Is e light local demand for old ewes. If rains are not received In some areas that ore dry, the shipments of sheep and lambs from these sections will be heavy.
