The London offerings total 1SS.000 bales. ff which 130,000 bales arc New Zealund rossbreds.

"Portland is the logical point for such an office." ha says, "and we can also handle to better advantage the sales of the Hood River fruit from that point." In the event that the Portland of fice is established by the distributer directors, which seems assured, it will be opened in the late Summer, in time to make preparations for the ship ments of apples and other Kail fruits. The strawberry crop will be handled from the local office. Mr. Davidson will be located in Spokane and Mr. Sleg will liandle the marketing of the fruit from Hood Rtver.

The tariff placed the weight of the 24 full pint box crates of straw berries at 25 pounds. The minimum weight per car was placed at 15,000, allowing a maximum of 620 crates per car. The association haa secured the promise of the express companies to ask for an amendment permitting the maximum number of crates to be 700.
