Dun a Co-'a weekly review of trade tomorjuw will aay: The trade situation maintains In general the conservatlvs improvement recently noted. atthouch there la much diversity In reports from different sections and different lines. New orders In Iron and steel are appar ently held In check by continued uncertainty as to pricea, and competition for business Is becoming pronounced. Price-cutting Is gen eral In the steel bar trade, some low quota tions being noted, and tin plate, sheet, wire products and merchant pipe have shared In tho weakneaa. The beat feature of tho sit uation la tho structural dlvlalon, where nu merous contract for substantial prospects for the Winter are not considered especially encouraging. There la a further shrinkage In the demand from tho rallroada, rail aale being small, and unless steel cars are bought more freely. It Is expected that plate mills will reduce their schedules. Buyers of footwear are perplexed regard Ing style, and conservatism Is displayed tn alt transactions, both Jobbers and retailers confining purchases to current needs only.

GAR JONATHANS CUSTOMARY HIGH PRICE PAID FOR IXITIAL SHIPMENT. Colorado Fruit Averages $2.42 in " Chicago Market Generai De mand 19 Slucsish. The fcllowlng bulletin waa issued yesterday by the Northwestern Fruit Exchange: Apples The aale of th first car of West ern Jonathan applea In boxes la reported from Chicago, where, on the Uth, the first car from Colorado was sold at auction at an average of $2.42. The first ear always eUs it an abnormally high price, as It is a novelty, and without competition. Fruit stand dealers and retail grocers like to have some of the first of anything In the fruit or vegetable line. When supplies become heavier the values seek a level consistent with suplpy and demand. In this connec tion, the Exchange feels called upon to sound a note of warning. The high open ing rlca for Jonathan occurs every year and the prices received for the first few cars Is telegraphed by commission houses to their road men and are used aa a basis for soliciting consignments. As a . rule, high opening; prices are followed, very soon, by abnormally low prices, on account of so many growers "chasing the rainbow" and trying; to sjet In on tha high prices, and thereby overcrowding the market. This hap pens every year and It seems Impossible to prevent It. In fact, lt Is Impossible to pre vent lt as long as growers -fall to work to gether under a strong central management, The normal trading demand for apples, on the part of the far-Eastern buyers, is very feeble. Firms who have always bought supplies of Weatern boxed apples for cold storage purposes are showing a marked disinclination to speculate thla year, except at very low prices. The exchange Is getting; some very Interesting- reports from its alemen In all the large markets of the East. One of them, quoting a large operator who Is well known aa a heretofore heavy storer of boxed fruit, quoted this operator as follows: "We are not in the market for boxed apples at any price, but if we were going- to buy, our Ideas would be about as follows: Extra fancy Jonathans, $1; Spltxenbergs, $L25; New towns, $1; Black Bens, 85o; Ben Davis, 65o f. o. b. And these prices would have to re fer to the choicest districts." Of course, the exchange salesman told his customer that he would not be able to buy "ood fruit at suh prices, but the gentleman said he ex pected to buy all he wants a little later, when the stuff Is moving, as there will be enough shippers lacking facilities for han dling the fruit who will get desperate for an outlet and stampede. And this Is about typical of the attitude of all the large buy ers in the East the houses who have here tofore bought the largest proportion of tha Western boxed apples. The exchange salesman In Philadelphia, who submitted an order for SO cars at prices reported in a recent bulletin and which the exchange declines writes as follows: "Af ter receiving your wire, buyer positively would not raise his offer. Said he would buy barrel stock instead not that he Isn't willing to pay any price, so long as there Is a profit In sight, but he Is confident there Is no money for htm In boxed fruit at higher prices. One house In the city here re ceived a car of York State Maiden Blush as fine as any over produced anywhere which sold for $5.25 a barrel. There la a tremendous crop of Kings, which always hurts the sale of boxed apples In this mar ket. The crop is large enough to have Kin- for sale in large quantities until late In the Spring. Dealers here figure that the large crop In Colorado will make up the shortage in the Northwest; In other words, that the supply f boxed apples frifcm all sections will equal last year's output. Illinois has a tremendous crop of Ben Davis and we are afraid you will have a hard time moving; Ben Davis In boxes at the prices you are asking." Meanwhile the exchange la concentrating Its efforts to place advance orders, and by covering the entire continent, all markets, large and small, closely and persistently, Is placing a good many cars for future ship ment. Since Its last report lt has booked orders for 6 more cars and haa ordera in hand for about 10 more, which lt 1 dis tributing; to tt various members acoordina; PRICES OF WOOL ABB MADTTAXSTED Sale, oa Uie Boston Market Esn Bean limited.
