TONE IS HEALTHY
IN APPLE MARKET
The total apple holding of the
I'nitcd St a ten on January 'X, buxed
upon the report to The I'acker, are
estimated at 3,257,.'HX' barrel and
2,"7!J,;oi) boxes. The I'acker 1 un
able to give a definite eHtlmate of the
relative o,uantltlet of thexe apple
that are In cold Btoruge and what
parti In common storage, for the
reaon that the reportH recelvecl ax a
rule did not Indicate. However, It I
xnfe to nay that the percentage of
common stock has been reduced to
relatively Hinall proportion proba
bly not over :jH),XtO barrel. Holder
of common utorage apple are net
working. "overtime to dlpoxe of the
stock.
If we reduce the above figure on
boxen to the bal of barrel we have
a total In the Ftilteil State of 4,0.10..
.100 barrel. At the same time laxt
year the total stock, both boxes
and barrel, In the United State ag
gregated In round number L',-oO,0M)
barrel. In other word, present
holding are Indicated to be 1)0 per
cent inor; than a year ngo.
The movement the past month
was all that could have possibly
been expected under the circum
stance. The first half of January
saw the coldest weather n record
and apple traflic wa tied up almost
everywhere. Jut as soon a the
weather moderated there was a rush
of order and for two week or more
Jut past carload have been rolling
at a tremendous rate under a good
demand. Car shortage ha Inter
fered to a certalu extent, on account
of the accumulated orders, and this
i particularly true of the York state
apple deal.
Sentiment, according to the report
received by The I'acker, 1 divided a
to the future course of the apple mar
ket. Some are very hopeful, while
other nre not Inclined to be cheerful.
Of course, there Is no way of guess-
lug the close of the deal. Everything
depends upon tin price the consumer
ha to pay, the supply of other fruits
now and later, like oranges, berries,
etc., und the Intelligence exercised In
the distribution. If holders will all
maintain a sane uttlttnle and move
their individual stocks out gradual
ly, keeping in mind the time allotted
In which to male sales, a steady, fair
market should be had. On the other
hand should any conslderoble num
ber of holder become panicky and
try to unload lmmedltncly regard
less of prices, conditions will un
doubtedly take on an unfavorable
tone nnd It will be hard to secure a
restoration of favorable conditions
during the balance of the seas-in.
Now Is the time for apple holders to
exercise their wit an J sit steady In
the boat, l'.nt the apple must be
kept moving every day.

BOSTON REVOLTED.
Whan Commodor Knowl Worked)
Hig Prei Gang In 1747.
In the yenr 1747 a great tumult was
raised la the town of Boston. Com
modore Koowles, while lying at Nan
tucket with a number of men of war,
losing some of his men by desertion,
thought it reasonable that Boston
should supply him with as many men
as he bad lost He therefore sent his
boats uptown early in the morning
and surprised not only as many sea
men as could be fouDd on board of
any of the boats outward bound as
well as others, but swept the wharfs,
taking souio ship carpenters' appren
tices and innd.smen.
This conduct was resented. As soon
as It was dusk several people assem
bled in King street, below the town
house, where the general court was
sitting. Stones and brickbats were
thrown into the council chamber
through the windows. A judicious
speech of the governor from the bal
cony, disapproving of the impress and
promising his utmost endeavors to ob
tain the discharge of the persons Im
pressed, had no effect The seizure
and restraint of the commanders and
other officers who were in town were
Insisted upon as the only effectual
method to procure the release of the
Inhabitants on board the ships. The
militia was summoned in aid of the
government, but refused to appear.
Letters in the meantime passed be
tween the governor and the commo
dore. The council and house of repre
sentatives now pissed some rigorous
resolutions, and the tumultuous spirit
began to subside. Finally the commo
dore dismissed most if not all of the
Inhabitants who had been Impressed,
and the squadron sailed.

The Skate Grunts, the Puffer Chuckles,
and the Drumfish Boomt.
Terhaps the most conspicuous exam
ple of the fishes that are capable of ut
terance is the druuiflsh, so called by
reason of the deep, booming noise it
produces at will. It is found aldng
the Atlantic coast from Massachusetts
to Florida.
The squetengue, another salt water
fish of the noisy variety, resembles In
appearance the trout, and the not un
musical sound that It gives out Is
much like the note uttered by a big
bullfrog. Allied to the squetengue Is
the fish known as "the croaker," which,
as Its popular name Indicates, affects
the croak nu unmistakable croak.
The sea robin, so called because It
has crimson fins Just behind its head,
about the size of birds' wings. Is an
other fish that makes Itself heard
The "squnwk" of the sea robin is es
pecially emphatic when on being
caught It lifts up its voice in reiterat
ed protests.
There is a fish that may be said to
chuckle the little puffer or swellfish.
It puffs Itself Into the shape of a per
fect sphere and as It does so gives
out a peculiar, hoarse chuckle.
The skate when caught grunts,
groans and gasps pretty much after
the manner of a human being in dis
tress. Carp and goldfish frequently
utter curious sounds, hut hardly sounds
in the meaning of the term here used,
inasmuch as tlielr sounds are produced
by approaching the surface of the wa
ter and blowing out nlr In bubbles un
til a rippling nnise is heard. Denver

Sparrow Diet For a Stork.
An Enpiish sparrow flew Into the fly
ing capo in the zoo and began helping
Itself to the cracked corn thrown upon
the ground by the keeper. A Brazilian
stork quietly approached and shot out
Its sis inch red beak and caught" the '
sparrow. Going to the fountain, the
big bird dipped the little one In the wa
ter and tln n swallowed it and looked j
about for more. j
"Oh, you cannibal! Vou ought to get
a beating.''' exclaimed a woman vis
itor. ,
"The sparrow ought to know better
than to go In there." explained the 1
keeper. "The stork has been eating
half n dozen of these birds a week
since be came here. The English spar
row has a quick eye and Is quick on
the wing and is seldom caught by
prowling cats, but doesn't suspect any-
thing with feathers on. The big bird !
Is getting fat on a spurrow diet." New '
