APPLE STOCKS ON HAND FEBRUA RY 1.
"A-Hlve Movement IjRNt Month Reported by
Amoclatlon.
An estimate of the number of barrels of
apples in storage in the United States. Canada
and Nova Scotia on February 1, 1910, has
been made by the International Apple Ship
pers' Association. It shows a total stock on
that date of 2.728, 8X barrels. This compares
with 1 ,6rt4, 38Q barrels In store on the same
date last year, or an increase over a year ago
of 1.162.404 barrels.
Thla Increase doe not imply any weakness
in the situation, for stocks lat year were be
low requirements. Two years ago the
amount on hand was 3S0.00O barrels more
than this year, and on February 1, 1907, 13D,
000 barrels more.
The report shows storage stocks (in barrels)
on February 1, 1010, in the Pacific Coast
State as follows:
1 0 lO- 1 ooo.
Oregon 7,400 1.OOf
Washington 17.rV0O i-H.OOO
California,- 107,000 125. 000
As compared with the January 1 statement,
the summary shuws that supplies in the
United States decreased 833,000 barrels; in
Canada and Nova Scotia, 18.1,000 barrels. The
reiort says:
The January movement in the United States
equals a fraction over '25 per cent of the total
ihoMlnp on January 1. Considering that the
first half of January in the North and West
averaged too cold for "the satisfactory move
ment of apples, this is certainly quite a satis
factory fihowinjg and we believe shows a bet
ter movement than our membership will gen
erally expect. Another 115 per cent will, un
der ordinary circumstano&n, be moved in both
February and March, which will reduce the
holdings in the United states by April 1 to
approximately 800,000 barrels, so that If the
rato of movement for January is kept up dur
ing February and March, the situation, would
be well la hand April 1.
CONTRACTS FOR SACKS ARE AWARDED
Pendleton Fanners Accept Bill of Wall a
Walla Company.
Contracts for several hundred thousand
sacks were awarded at the meeting of the
Farmers Kducational and. Co-operative

members that the price -should not, be re
vealed, so the exact figure is not known.
However, it is known that the bids re
ceived were nearly cut In half In compari
son with prices paid In the past by farmers
who bought Independently.
H. H. AlcLeun, agent for the Independent
"Grain Growers' Association of Walla Walla,
swas present -and gave an address on the
value of the union among the farmers. He
cited the case of the high price of sacks In
tho past, which was nearly 10 cents each, to
the present price, and also called the atten
tion of the members to the fall in the price
cf binding twine, which, he said, had fallen
80 per cent.

Signs of life, alms of strength, were appar

fr.usiness of consequence had been done pre
viously, this month, it was feared February

in transit.
A car of Cuban tomatoes that arrived a
few days ago. In bad condition, has been
rejected.
According to advices that have been re
ceived on Western avenue. Eastern Wash
ington fruit men look for one of the largest
poach crops ever grown In the state. Con
ditions now point, they say, to an excellent
yield, especially since there were prac
tically no peaches at all last year.
A flat price of 30 cents pre-ailed on
fresh local ranch eggs today. Receipts were
liberal and . a few will be carried over. Cali
fornia eggs were freely offered. Dealers
are getting out from under the heavy stocks
of California eggs they have been carrying
for the last few days.
Poultry and butter were unchanged. The
price of butter fat, however, has been cut
down to 40 cents, a drop of 2 cents.

BUYING-NOT ACTIVE
Trading in Stocks Halts With
the Advance.
BUT SELLING IS LIGHT
Operators Await the Settlement of
the American Tobacco and.
Standard Oil Cases Bonds
Are Steady. .
NEW YORK. Keb. 15. The .toc-k market
save additional evidence today of sinking
Into dullness and apathy. The eltratlcn la
Bummed ui Sn the fact that urgent liqul.
datlon has ceased to press upon the market,
while no disposition makes itself manifest
to accumulate stock with sufficient deter
mination to 'carry prices upward and liold
them there.
The desire to see the definition of the
scope of the Sherman anti-trust law. which
shall emanate from the Supreme Court de
cision In the American Tobacco and Stand
ard Oil cases. Is the accepted motive for
refraining; from large commitments In the
market on the part of the capitalists of the
class which makes the ereat speculative
movement. The reassembling of the- Su
preme Court next week is expected to re
vive the influence of a weekly watching for
a decision In the American Tobacco case.
A. decision is not looked for, however, until
the Standard OH case ha. been submitted
also for Judgment.
From the low prices of last Monday,
marking the culmination of liquidation, the
rebound has been substantial, reaching to
over 11 points In Reading, which led the
recovery. The professional operators con
ducting the movement found Insufficient
demand to absorb pront-taking sates and
took warning from this fact of the limitation
of the market.
The legal aspects of corporation affairs
are brought to attention by other incidents
than the approaching Supreme Court decis
ion in the American Tobacco case. The fil
ing of the brief by the Heading counsel in
the Government suit for dissolution of the
anthracite combination and the beginning
of testimony again in the Union Pacific mer
ger suit, were reminders of other litigation
coming up from lower courts which must be
followed with Interest by stockholders to its
conclusion.
A rifle in the private discount rate in Ber
lin and . the prospect of heavy Joan Issues
in Paris in the rehabilitation of flood dam
age had rome reflected influence here from
foreign market.
Speculators were disappointed that the
Canadian Pacific dividend was not rained and
there was a sharp break in that stock In
London.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par
value, 2.520.OOO. United States bonds were
unchanged oa call.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

GOOD WOOLS ARK 0 CHEAPER.
But Some Minor Stocks Are I icing Shaded
at Boston.
BOSTON, Feb. 15. Although desirable
wools are no cheaper in the local market,
some of the minor stocks are being shaded
for customers. There is but little Inquiry,
however, and trading is almost wholly in
.odd lots of a few thousand pounds each.
Kastern bidders regard existing prices In
the West for the 1910 clip as almost pro
hibitive. There has been some movement to the
mills, but the general market is near its
lowest ebb today and very little is expected
until the new clip arrives. Scoured basis

GAINS NOT HELD
Wheat Advances but Breaks

CLOSE NEARLY UNCHANGED
CrV Damage Reports "Are Received,
but Do Xot Strongly Impress
Traders
Corn and
Oats Higher.
CHICAGO. Feb. 15. Many new claims of
crop damage furnished the incentive for an
advance in May rwheat prices today from
about $1.1254 "to $1.1354. Realizing sales
at top prices broke the backbone of the up
ward trend and an easier tone gained Im
petus from the disinclination of many trad
ers to be strongly impressed by crop dam
age reports before the actual growing period
begins. Sluggish demand for cash wheat
also had a dragging effect. The close was
easy, with July and September unchanged
from yesterday's finish and May a. shade up
at $1.1354 1. 12.
Trade In corn was of fair volume. May
advanced from 66p67c to 67c, the other
futures showing similar stimulation. The
close in July was strong . at well toward
the high point, with May c up at 67
67!4c. and July o higher at 67c.
A good demand for cash oats gave
strength to prices and kept them In line
with corn. The close was strong at nearly
the high point, with May ac tip at
4-7e47c
The provisions market was easy and at
the close pork was 20c lower; lard, 15
17 54c and ribs, 1254 to 17 54c lower.

BITULITHIC PAVEMENT
Bitulithic practically consists in a fomidation of
crushed stone ' cemented 'with a bituminous
cement. Its wearing surface is a xery dense
mixture of graded, comminuted, crushed stone,
mixed with a bituminous cement. This is a
successful form of pavement which is durable,
dense, elastic, and not slippery. It is suited to
many streets and will sustain business traffic,
while at the same time it permits pleasure carriages-
and automobiles to travel at fast speeds
without slipping.

While he will base his appeal to the vot
ers chiefly on what he proposes to ac
complish in Congress, Wilson will pay his
respects to some of Pinehot's conserva
tion laws, which, he says, are working
a sreat hardship on Washington.
"Forest reserves in this state contain
many hundreds of thousands of acres ot
rich, tillable land needed for homes," sai.l
Mr. Wilson yesterday. "The people of
this section do not realize how seriously
their interests are menaced by the con
servation extremists of the Fast. I have
made a careful study of the sittiatfon
in Washington and elsewhere, and I will
make my views known to tho public
from the platform within the next 9J
days," he said.
