APPLE SHOWS LITTLE GAIN Notwithstanding all assertions to the contrary being made by those that have speculated and are losing'money in the apple market, demand for this fruit is really slow and prices are not showing the slightest improvement as yet. - Calfornia Newtowns of extra fancy quality are being freely offered. .. A late advice from California states that apple holdings there are the greatest ever known at this time of the year. While most of the stock is held by speculators, the wise ones are now making every effort to unload, while they are trying to keep Oregon holders from letting go of their stock. More local apples are likewise avail able at this time than ever before at this season and every dealer, outside of perhaps one or two, who are over-; loaded and are therefore trying to manipulate the trade, says that busi ness offering at this time is the small est known for many years. This statement is being made by dealers who themselves are "long" on apples and would have everything to gain and nothing to lose by making an effort to put the market higher.
