1H THE FROHT HP
Lively Harket for Our Choice Fruit
for Christmas Gifts
Two Oregonians Inter
:i
view New York fler
chants Only one Fault
with Oregon Apples
Not enough of Them to
Supply the Demand
From the Portland ort-gonlan :
Two Oregonians walking down
Broadway, New York, one day early
in the current month stopped for a
moment to admire a display ofj
fresh fruiu in the show windows of,
the celebrated Hicks establishment, j
at the corner of twenty-seventh
street. Tbe exhibit was one of
amazing variety and beauty, and
suitable to the Benson, was especially
rich in fall and winter apples. The
red Spitzenburg made tbe bravest
show, while tbe green and yellow
Newtown Pippin was scarcely leas
conspicuous. But what attracted
and and interested tbe Oregonians
even more than tbe fruit itself was
the fact that each and every pack
age bore an Oregonian label. More
interesting still, tbe sidewalk in
front of the Btore fur a considerable
space was covered with half-boxes
of apples, repacked wirh scrupulous
care, each bearing a private address
some in this country, but the greater
number on the other side of tbe
Atlantic. 'Almost every country in
Europe was included in tbe twenty
or more foreign addresses, far the
larger number being in England
and France.
Here was a matter for inquiry,
and the Oregonians lost no time in
seeking the facts of this curious
traffic in Oregon apples. And it
was a story to please an Oregonian
mightily. "We get," said the dealer,
"our best apples from Oregon, and
tbe one fault we bave to find is that
there are not enough of them to
meet the demand. Here in New
York there is a very large buying
publio far more concerned about
quality than price. What we call
our beet trade really cares nothing
at al. about what a Sue food product
costs, provided its the very best of
its kiud. Take these rich people
who live up the avenue, for exam
ple. Why through their butlers
and housekeepers they are always
on the lookout for the -rarest ' and
the beBt, and they will pay any price
required to get what they want. It
is to this special trade that the very
best of Oregon apples go, and never
at any time do we have enough gilt
edge Btock to fill our orders. Why,
those apples on show are sold, and
we are delaying the delivery simply
beoause we want the goods to top
off our window display.' We can't
keep nuch stuff in the house two
hours, and we could have Bold these
goods over half a dozen times." ',
Asked about the boxed fiuit on
the sidewalk, the dealer naid:
"That's a very interesting part of
the buBinesB. It is a growing fash
ion, especially in the winter season,
to make gifts of fruit, and probably
20 per cent of what goes out from
this store carries with it a card con
veying the buyer's compliments.
For this purpose the Oregon apple
is a hot favorite, due as much to its
fine appearance as to its good qual
ity." At this point he consulted
his order book, and, continuing,
said: "Today we haye orders for
21 gift boxes of the best apples we
oan dig up ana mat always means
Oregon apples. Yesterday we had
12, and the day before that 81!
The day before sailing of the fast
ooean liners iB always u good day
X 2.
for the fancy fruit business, because
there are always many orders for
goids to be Bent to friends or rela
tives on tbe other side. Those
goods you see on the sidewalk are
mostly for Chrstmas presents, and
if yon will examine the addresses
on the boxes you will see that they
go every where. Of course, only
tbe best stuff goes in this way, and
nobody cares what the coat is.
We prefer always to fill foreign or
ders with Oregon apples, for they
are usually handsomer, and always
crisper, and better in flavor than
any other apple which . comes to
this market." '
Inquiry as to the volume of Eu
ropean trade in apples brought out
etill more interesting and impor
tant facts. There is, the dealer
declared, practically no limit to the
business which might be done with
the three countries of England'
France and Germany, if the right
sort of goods were available in euf
Scient quantities. Many hundred;
of tons of American apples go to
there countries; but they - are what
the trade calls "barrel goods" that
is, Eastern apples packed in barrels,
and for tbe most part stuff of infe
rior quality. They make no ap
peal to the better sort of trade in
fact, they make tbe basis of a good
deal of joking on tbe other side,
just as the dried prune does with
us. "Until very recenty," contin
ued tbe obliging dealer, "the Eu
ropean publio has not discrimi
nated between the grades or the
brands of American goods; but the
Oregon apple is coming more and
more into notice, and it is now par
ticularly named in many of our
foreign orders. Of course, no better
means of advertising a fruit product
could be devised than the practice
of gift making, which I have just
described. Whoever gets a box of
these fine goods la not likely to for
get the Oregon' apple, and he is al'
most certain to inquire for it when
he comes him Bel f to purchase fruit."
Interested greatly in what they
had learned about the Oregon ap
pie trade in New York, from the re
tailer's point of view, the Orego
nians on the following day sought
the district on the west side of Man
hattan Island where the wholesalers
and brokers in fruit products are to
be found. ". From the visitors' stand
point, it is very far from being a
pleaBant part of town. The streets
are narrow and dirty, crowded with
a prodigious traffic, while the side
walks are so cluttered up with
boxes and crates that one picks hia
way along with difficulty. The
first visit was to Mr. H. C. Vogel, of
Vogel & Co., general commission
merchants and wholesale dealers in
foreign and domestic fruits, 340
Washington street. Mr. Vogel was
found to be both a very courteous
and a very intelligent man. "Yes,"
he said, in response to inquiry, "the
Oregon apple is the best apple in the
Eastern market, and, for that mat
ter, the best '. in ;the whole world,
It looks better, tastes better, Btands
transportation and storage better
than any of its rivals, and so easily
takes the market in any and all
competitions. We get apples from
varions parts of Oregon, and notably
from Hood River, and from Med
ford. All the established brands
indeed, all that I know any' thing
about, come from one or the other
of these sources, I- don't knew that
the Hood River product is intrin
sically better than that of the Med

doubt it but it has the name among

culty in Belling any brand of Oregon
apples in this market. In general,
Oregon apples range in price, as we'
wholesalers Bell them to tbe trade,
from H to $5 per box. thoueh the
last named figure should be called
exceptional. The average quota
tion is $4.25 to 4.75, with the bulk
of tbe best shipments going at the
lower ngure. ine Dest apples from
Oregon come in what we call 'four-
layer goods,' that is, the fruit is the
size to make four layers in a stand
ard apple box, averaging 96 apples
to the box. Five-layer stuff, of
course, goes at a lower price, though
tne demand is as brisk for this class
of goods 88 for the better sort."
Proceeding to further discussion
of the apple question, Mr. Vogel de
clared that the only serious com
petitor with the Oregon apple is the
California apple from the vast or
chards near atsonville and Lorn-
poc. "Here," he said, "is a curious
fact. California fruits in general,
while not notable for flavor, are
fine in appearance, and, owing to
toughness of skin and the firm and
fibrous quality of their pulp, are
exceptionally good carriers and
keepeis. Ibis is true of the Cali
u. . .-iiii, uuu u, uiQ,b uiulia
all fruits excerttinir the an iln Pali.
fornia sends us some very fine ap
ples, but tbey lack the crispness of
tne best Oregon goods, and they
will not stand storage or ocean car
riage like the Oregon product.
When you go home, say lo yout
orchardmen that tbey have the
best go ids and the best reputation,
and that our whole complaint is
that tbey don't give us enough.
California Bends us carloads where
your people send us boxes, and
while we have no serious criticism
of the California goods, we prefer
the stuff which comes from Oregon."
Mr. Vogel could give no figures in
dicative of the volume of the trade
iti Oregon apples in New York, and
referred his visitors to Austin, Kim-'
ball & Co., of 76 and 78 Park Place,
who are tbe largest rimporters and
handlers of apples in tue New York
market.
Mr. Kimball, while entirely civil,
was lees disposed to talk than any
of the other dealers visited. '..Eyi'
dently : be regarded his' expert
knowledge of the apple trade hia
private property.. However, he.con
firined the assertions above quoted,
to the effect that the Oregon fruit

and that criticism was only to ba
made respecting the quantity of the
output. Asked if he could offer
any suggestions likely to advance
tbe interest of the O.-egou growers,,
he could thins of nothing. . "Ther
Oregon people appear to know their
business pretty well," he said.
"Ttaev Dick., naek and eet their
' x u
goods into market in better shape
than anybody else. They have the
call, and all they need to do is to
maintain their standards of grow
ing and handling. Above all, tell
them to keep their orchards clean.
The various apple peats hive ruined
tha rAnnr.nfinn nF martv Annt.ht-r dia
trict ; do not let this stupendous
blunder be repeated in Oregon..
Every diseased tree ought to be
cut down and burned; . every in
fected apple ought to be destroyed
aot left to rot and breed after its
kind but given to the flames or to
the hogs. Tell your people to safe
guard their reputation by keeping
up the character of their product.
Let them do this, then multiply the
orohards, and the apple trade will
be theirs permanently,",
