GROWERS RESENT POLICY
Spokane District's Tart Hinges on
Attitude of Agency.
SPOKA.NFJ. Wash.. April 16. (Spe
cial.) The continued affiliation of the
SpoUane Fruitgrowers' Company with
the North Pacific Fruit Distributers
hinges upon the willingness and abil
ity of the management of the central
selling agency to revise its marketing
policy to give the district a more
equitable distribution of its product
in what the local growers regard as
their natural market, the territory west
of the MisHOuri and Mississippi rivero.
That was the glut, of the sentiment
expressed today at a convention in the
Chamber of Commerce building, at
tended by about 60 representative
growers of the district, present as del
egates from their respective local or
gan izations.
The convention will meet again to
morrow morning at 9 o'clock. Kvery
srower agreed that the returns on the
ISI4 apple crop were entirely unsatis
factory. TOPPENISH FRUIT THRIVING
Small tirain Also Reported as Un
usually Promising.
TOPPENISH, TVash., April 16. (Spe
cial.) Reports from the fruit belt are
that the pear, cherry and peach crop
have an excellent bloom, but that many
varieties of apples have a light bloom.
The prospect for small grain is the
best in this locality that it has been
for several years, an unusual amount
of moisture having fallen during the
last half of March and the first half
of April.
FRUITMEN JDEFER ACTION
&iolano Growers Imdecided as 0
fcellinff Affiliation This Season.
SPOKANE, MasU.. April IS. (Spe
cial.) Continued affiliation of the
Spokane Fruitgrowers' Company with
the North Pacific Fruit distributors
will rest upon a report of a special
committee appointed today by a. con
vention of growers meeting in the
Chamber of Commerce assembly room
to confer with J. H. Robbing, general
manager of the distributors, on the
future attitude of the selling agency
toward the fctpokane company.
The committee conferring with Mr.
Bobbins consists of J. c. Carlisle, of
Kettle Falls; l. Insinger and A. Cr.
Iianauer, of Spokane. The convention
instructed the committee to request a
definite outline of the distributors'
policy in the future in the marketing
of Spokane fruit and to demand that no
discrimination be practiced against the
members of the company.
Action will be taken by the conven
tion following the special committee
report on the question of future affilia
tion.
it was considered probable by mem
bers of the convention that final aera
tion on future affiliation with the dis
tributors would be deferred until the
annual shareholders' meeting, late this
month.
PROGRESS IS GENERAL
IMPROVEMENT IS TRADE IS OF
GRATIFYING PROPORTIONS.
Remarkable Revival of Speculation on
Stock Kxcbange Future
Prosperity J Dlacounted.
KEW YORK, April 36. R. O. Dun fc Coa
Review of Trade tomorrow will say:
"Progress in trade continues and the im
provement aa a -whole is of gratifying pro
portions, but there is nothing in tne com
mercial ' situation resembling the remark
bio revival of activity on the Stock Ex
change, with sales of over J,VOO,000 shares
a day. This speculative movement, while
having a somewhat stimulating effect upon
business sentiment, as pernaps Discounting
the future, lias no counterpart in xaotuai
industrial and merchandising conditions as
they exist today.
"The cotton coods markets are active and
the mills are well supplied with orders.
"Woolen coods are strong. Foreign trade
continues active in certain lines,. ine war
orders contribute to great prosperity.
"Activity in export trade still contrasts
with limited domestic buying in Iron and
steel. There has been a marked expansion
In the foreign demand.
"Hank clearings for the week amountea
to ?a,021,8Ul,U27. an increase of y.T per cent
as compared with the same week last year.
4 'it us in ess failures during the week total
501, as against ai.i for the corresponding

BOSTON, April 3 6. The Commercial Bul
letin will say tomorrow:
"Except for moderately good demand for
foreign wools, principally fine, the wool
market the past week has been very hesi
tant and dull. Prices are lacking in unifor
mity on almost every class of wool, due to
the wide divergence of opinion as to the
future of the market.
"At tho mil Us there is apparent the same
uncertainty and new orders are coming for

EAST BUYING FLOUR
Interior Mills Make Sales for

WHEAT WILL ALSO GO
AVlde Difference In Prices Provides
Iastern Outlet for Pacific
Northwestern Grain Local
Market Is Firmer.
The wide difference between wheat
prices in the Pacific Northwest and in the
Eastern markets has already led to some
buying In the Interior for Eastern account,
the grain to be shipped by rail. The quan
tity taken so far is reported to be small.
More business, however, has been done in
flour. Several of the Interior mills are re
ported to have sold considerable quantities
to go East overland. The natural route for
most of these shipments would be by
water through the canal, but the lack of
sufficient steamer space has sent the busi
ness to the railroads.
Interior millers have become buyers of
m'heat, and there is also a moderate de
mand here for milling; wheat.. These
grades were the only sorts that showed
firmness on the local exchange yesterday
The exchange) sales were;

WOOL SALES HATES ARB SET.
Orvgon 1915 Season Will Open at Echo on
J I ay tS.
Dates have been announced for the sealed
bid wool sales In Eastern Oregon this sea
son by John G. Hoke, secretary of the Ore
gon Wool Growers' Association. The dates
follow;
Echo, May 25; Pilot Rock, May 26; Pen.
dleton. May 27; Baker, May 28; Riverside,
June 1; Joseph, Juno 4; Enterprise, June
5; Heppner, June 8; Condon, June 10;
Shanlko, June 12; Maupin, June 14;
Metolius-Madras, June 15; Bend June 16.
In q. clroular accompanying; the announce
ment, Mr. Hoke says;
It is to be hoped that all woolgrowers
will use their best efforts to at least put
forth an effort to grade their wpol at the
shearing pen. This can be done to some
extent by separating the different kinds
and grades of sheen before they go to the
shearers. It la essential to pack your wool
in good condition, eliminating the tags and
pack them separate. Also keep all black
wools from the white, see that fleeces are
tied properly. We are In eompetition w-ith
wools that are prepared. in the best of shape
for market, and if we expect to get true
market values it is up to the growers of
this country - to de something along the
same lines or take less prices lor tneir
wool.
I am taking steps to (top the inhumane
manner of handling sheep at the shearing
pens. We expect to have the humane so
ciety of the state to help enforce the laws,
and we wnt ths fulp co-operation of wool
growers' In this matter. We raise sheep for
the money that is in them, and we do not
propose to stand by at the shearing pens
and see them butchered as heretofore. We
will have posted in all the shearing pens
of this state the laws covering the inhu
mane treatment of dumb animals.
At least 2 per cent of the sheep are killed
at the time they, are being sheared, or die
from injuries received at that time. We
trust that we will not have to prosecute
anyone engaged in shearing sheep for a liv.
ing. When they depend on this work every
year it Is up to them to stop and consider
the sheepmen's Interests.

WAR STOCKS GUI
Specialties Make Great Gains
in Wall Street.
LEADERS UNDER PRESSURE
Marked Increase in Demand for
IligH-Gratle Investment Isuses.
Bank Clearings Indicate
Improved Trade.
NEW YORK. April 16. Apart from a
fresh ebullition of speculative hysteria,
whieh was most conspicuous In various
equipment issues, today's active stock mar
ket was essentially two-sided. That is, the
buying of specialties frequently was offset
by heavy selling of standard shares, which
yielded much of their early advantages,
thonrli r1nsm with general net gains.
The unrestrained tracing of the first half
hour, probably without parallel in the an
nals of the local exchange, was confined in
a great measure to shares of companies
which are supposed to be in receipt of re
munerative orders from European belliger
ents. American Locomotive rose over "18
points almost at the outset. New Ynk Air
Brake 19, and numerous other Industrials
and equipments from 5 to 8 points.
In a way, today's rise in the so-called war
specialties was accepted as a natural out
growth of the recent gyrations In Bethlehem
Steel, first of the Industrial concerns to
make marked response to its war business.
Representative issues were under moderate
pressure throughout the session, even
though some, particularly United States
Hteel, attained their highest prices of the
movement. Union Pacific, Reading and
few others which are commonly regarded as
market barometers fell to lowest levels in
the final hour, though recovering In part
toward the end, which was marked by a
confusion of prices.
Financial conditions were again highly
favorable to bullish interests. Bankers re
ported a marked increase of demand for
high-grade investment iBsues, the success of
the New Haven Railroad note Issue giving
stimulation to this inquiry. Refined copper
wao to the new high price of 10 14 cents
and bank clearings testified to betterment
in general lines of merchandise. .
Total sales of stocks amounted to L150.S00
shares.
Bonds as a whole developed a broader
tendency on another large volume of trad
ing. Total sales, par value. aggregated
$4,043,000. Lnited States coupons 3s ad

cial.) The weather conditions for the
past ten days have been almost Ideal
and, while there have been two light
frosts ill the past week, no material
damage has resulted. Winter grain
was considerably damaged by the cold
weather and lack of now, and much
Fall-sown Brain has been plowed up
and replanted with Spring grain. The
acreage of both grain and potatoes will
show at least 25 per cent increase over
last year. The fruit crop will be the
heaviest in years, provided no killing
frost should occur, which now seems
highly improbable. The cherry crop
and apples will both be especially
heavy, barring a late frost.
