ILL WANT TO SELL Northwestern Shippers Flood ing Eastern Markets. APPLE DEMAND IS LIGHT In Face of a Difficult SUuatiou, tbe Fruit Exchange Succeeds In Making: Several Good Sales. The dally market bulletin ef tha North western Fruit Exchange, 8 pa Id In g building, follows; Tbe general situation Is difficult. Ths de mand m very light. Apple shippers In the Korth western Stateo. many of whom lack facilities, are flooding the country with offers which are considerably under our quotations, making It difficult for us to hold tha market up. Perhape the situation la well described tn a wire from one of our custom era in Atlanta, Ga., this morning. He ottered us a price of 25c less than our quo tation on a car of fancy Taahlngton apples, and says, "Take It or leave It; everybody wants to sell apples." Naturally, when sail ers are all eagar for offers, and are showing their anxiety to the trade. It has a very bad effect. Buyers immediately lay down, and ths whole situation Is affected. A situation ofr this kind simply emphasises tha urgent need of co-operation among all tha fruit producing districts 0f the NorthwesL Prop erly ortranised, tha aupply could be widely distributed without overcrowding In many, and the market could be kept healthy, free from demoralisation, and the wide, erratic fluctuations occurring under tha old oondl tlona could be largely avoided. Ve report sale of the following cars. These salea all represent very extreme value, and the exchange ts fortunste In having such extensive marketing facilities that It Is In touch wit tbe whole country all of the time, and thereby enabled to avoid tha beaten track and find buyers In tha amaller markets where ths competition la less se vere. It may be safely said that all the following sales are wall above tbe general market. Car P. F.

FEW STOCKS - ACTIVE TRADING CENTERS IX TWO OR THREE FAVORITES. One-Third of the Total Dealings Are In Steele Rumors of Short Term Note Issue. NEW TORK. Nov. . The operation In stocks became highly congested again" to day In two or three favorite speculative stocks, giving the market the appearance of professionalism and of direction and cooe trol from centralized sources. Th. volume of the dealings in urn tea States Fteel again reached nearly ne-third of tbe aggregate transactions and the sales of Reading and Union Facitlc combined were almost as large as those in Steel. The lat ter stock opened at a fractional advance over any price, touched since April last and moved to higher pianos by successive stages. With minors of a short time not. issue by the New Tork Central there came a violent relapse In prices and an unsettled closing-. with many substantial net declines. The day's market was ascribed to polit ical sentiment Ao a large extent. The after election revival Is almost . tradition, as is the pre-election nurry. una ta, siuc market Is said to be discounting such a movement. . Relief from unrest wtth th. passing- of the election Is looked for In business as much aa In the stock speculation. The rail roads especially are said to be waiting ths opportunity for the relief from the polit ical exigencies to place their deferred or ders for materials. It is this In particular that Is dwelt on to Justify the aggressive dv.no, in United States Steel. Intimations are disseminated also that tn, copper producers' report for October, to ap per next week, may be expected to show a material reduction of the unwieldly sur plus stocks of the metal. The price of th. metal rose again In London today, but the coppf&r Industrials made little response here. Th, call money market was firm again with no loans below 4 per cent and th. max imum for the season rising another point of 4 per cent. Time money market was also strong, the asking rate for ill and 90 days rising to o "h pr cent, with money lending at e per oent for thes. periods. The estimates of the currency movement Indicate another decrease in cash of nearly S3.0U..0OI). Bonds were steady. Totsl sales, par value. 13. 049. 000. United States bonds wer. un changed on call.
