SMALL CALL FOR STORAGE Northwestern Fruit Exchanee Gets Iliffh Prices for Medford Apples. Averages on Caldwell, Idaho, Shipments This Season. Th latest apple marker bulletin of the Northwestern Fruit Exchange follows: There Is an exceedingly heavy demand for apples which can be shipped from pro ducing point on the through rato. The peculiarity of the market is that the trade seem willing to pay very high price for uch offerings, but when offered cold storage stock from some Eastern point, even though the final cost Is the same, they appear to be much less willing to purchase. This illustrate the exceeding importance to the Industry not only of storage in tran sit rates but also of adequate holding ware house at the different producing stations. The exchange has been fighting hard for the restoration of the storage In transit rate, and earnestly desires the active support ot the local associations everywhere. Remem ber, this privilege is vital to the welfare of the Industry, and it Is the duty of every shipper to put hi shoulder to the wheel, and lend his assistance to the work being done by his organisation In a matter affecting him In dollars and cents. In passing, the exchange wishes to say that It Is again- completely sold out of all cars listed for shipment from the Northwest, and wants to hear Immediately from ship pers having fruit on hand unsold, as we be lieve that the market ia very near. If not quite, at Its best, strawberrlea are begin ning to occupy the attention of the Jobber In the markets, and while the receipts of this class of fruit are yet quite light they will get heavier from now on, and we be lieve that now Is the time to sell apples generally speaking. The exchange is find ing it necessary .to refuse orders for lack of fruit. Shipper should, therefore, lose no time tn listing their holdings with the ex change. In our last bulletin we published the eare of two car from Medford, Oregon, at quite high price. We give hereunder sales of three more cars from the same district, the five cars comprising a block of fruit from the orchard of one of the officers of the Rogue Itiver Fruit and Produce Association: PFE 2U24 from Crater Lake Junction CMedford, Oregon) March 2, 'J29 3V4-tler. 4!t 4-tler fancy Ben Davis at $1.60 f.o.b. shipping point, to a buyer in Iowa.
