THE MORNING OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15,. 1915. 17 POOR FRUIT HURTS Advantages in Marketing Only Best Grades of Apples. CO-OPERATION IS BENEFIT Success or Northwestern Growers AVlth Selling Associations Point ed Out in Government Bulletin. Xew Markets Are Opened. Effective co-operative organizations af ford the best means for profitable market ing of the country's increasing apple crop, according to a survey of marketing con ditions In the industry Just published, "Ap ple Market Investigations. 1914-15," by the United States Department of Agriculture. In States where apples are boxed instead of barreled, growers associations handled a large percentage of the output and in se curing uniformity In tho pack and advan tageous distribution of the crop are much more successful than individual producers In other sections. "Where individuals act Independently there Is little uniformity In grading and much poor fruit Is shipped which. In seasons of large production such as 1014, cannot be disposed of profitably. Observations in the Chicago market howed that -3 per cent of the arrivals in carlot bulk, or the equivalent of 350 car loads, and 10 per cent of the barreled shipments, the equivalent of about 160 car loads, were of such poor quality that the price would not have paid the freight charges had these apples been shipped by themselves. By throwing out thU poor fruit the farmers would not only have saved the cost of packing and shipping, but "would have cleared the market for their good stock. Similar conditions were found elsewhere. In this connection it is said that the grade and package laws now in operation in a number of states are proving effective In stabilizing the market. Uniformity in mate legislation of this kind, the authors state, is, however, most desirable. The effect of the war upon the industry lias been found to be less disastrous than was apprehended. Because of the cheap ness of the fruit, consumption was stimu lated until the exports far exceeded ex pectations. The German ports being closed, large quantities were shipped direct to the Scandinavian markets for the first time and this should prove of considerable bene fit In future years. Direct trade with South America has also Increased greatly and should continue to do so, especially if the growing trade in meat products affords ad ditional return Tacilitles for shipment. Care ful selection, grading and packing by hana Is, however, essential to the delivery of the fruit in good condUlon and only stock that may be classed as "fancy" or "extra fancy" should be exported to South American ports. MORE WHEAT SELLING IS REPORTED Setter Movement From Country Looked for in Near future. The cargo market was bettor yesterday to the extent of about 6d in prices bid, but there was no general Improvement in the export situation. The local market is till some 2 ocnts above tho export'parity and thef small amount of buying that is being done is for account of previous busi ness. There is a little wheat celling in the country, but the dealers believe thare must be a much freer movement at a reduction before new foreign business can be tak-en on. Tn some quarters, it is said, there are already signs of a disposition on the part Of growers to let go. Trade at the local exchange was at a standstill. N'o wheat of any kind was of fered for sle. Bids were about the same as on the preceding day. Bradstreets estimates th-a visible wheat Increase at 6,200,000 bushels. The Cana dian visihle wheat supply this week Is 3,606, OO0 bushels, an Increase of 1.7i:S,0K bushels. Broomhall says of the foreign situation In his weekly international wheat review: "The general position has shown no per ceptible change during the past week, ex cept to confirm with more certainty that t anada has secured a large crop of fine tiuality. Otl2r crops in the Northern Hem isphere have been favored with a week of seasonable harvest weather. "tt can now be claimed, with a fair de gree of certainty, that the world's harvest lor the Summer of 1915 will be abundant. nd European crop will be 3:10.000,000 larger ' ban last year. North Africa 20.000, 000 mi ger. Argentina moderate promise, while Australia excellent, and I reckon, according to udvices from our various agents, a yield in Australia of 132,000,00, although other authorities are figuring on 114,000,0 00. "It is becoming doubtful whether Aus iraiian wheat will be marketed cheaply In I'.urope this season, owing to the peculiar situation of freights, which are now very nigh, and the Australian government has already guaranteed the farmer 4s pr bushel on the farm, and it is further believed that t'anadlan competition will render Australian business difficult. uuring the ensuing ten days th-e trade here will watch keenly the deliveries in North America, and I feel that it is not un reasonable to expfct heavy deliveries shortly at Winnipeg. "The average price of new English wheat is now 42s." Terminal receipts in cars wore reported by tho Merchants Exchange- as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Outs Hay Portland, Tue. Year aso Reason to date.

Market Outlook Good. "Shnee cars of Oregon onions have been sold by W. I. Swank, the sales agent of the Con federated Onion Growers' Association. This marks the opening of the 1915 onion season in Oregon. The price was 73 cents f. o. b. shtpstng points, and the shipments will go north at once. The onion crop is a little larger than lst year's and the prospects are for a bet ter market than during the past season. California has a smaller yield than in 1914, and it is certain that fewer onions will bo stored than was the case last year. It was the heavy onion shortage in California that demoralized all Coast markets last Winter. Before the close of the season a big part of .he California stock had to be dumped, and -ome of the cooler companies failed to get even their storage charges. 8AI.ES OF flGGLE HOPS REPORTED Iondon Cable Estimates English Crop at 270,000 Cwt. Two- lots of fuggle hops, aggregating 60 bales, were reported sold yesterday at 10 H and 11 cents. Otherwise the Oregon market was dul A London cable said: "Market for 1916 "nop rot opened yet. Estimate crop at 1 70.000 cwt. Quality very good." B-er sales in the United States for the month of July last were S.127.6i2 barrels. as against S.99S.152 barrels for the sam month last year. bio rht OP FALL CHINOOK Lower RlTer CannerW Blocked With Late Fish. A big run of Fail chlnooks is reported frera the Lower Columbia, and the can ries are blocked with fish, some of them working into the night. Tho quality of the fish is described as poor. Tho market Is fairly active with some de mand for good fish, but the Inquiry is chiefly for the cheap grades. Trade has been stimulated by the highest prices put out on Alaska fish, which are moving in a sat isfactory way. Pwh Prices Are Advancing.. The peach market was firm, with 50 ocnts readily obtainable on the best Elbert as and late Crawfords. California cling peaches for canning will be in the market In a few days and will sell at about 65 cents. The demand for cantaloupes and melons is gradually subsiding. Huckleberries were in large supply and cheaper. Tomatoes have become scarcer kind are selling now at 35040 cents a box. Top-Grade Butter Is Firm. There was a firm demand yesterday for the best grades of country creamery but ter, but no improvement in the movement of lower grades. Strictly fresh eggs also sold readily and were very scarce. Withdrawals from stor age are gradually Increasing. Receipts of poultry and dressed meats were on a liberal scale and sold well at steady prices. Bank Clearings.

Anglo-French Financial Negoti ations Exdmnge Market Xervous; Bonds firmer. NEW YORK, Sept. 14. Dullness and ir regularity were the striking features of to day's stock market, which was saved from sheer stagnation by a continuance of pro fessional manipulation in the war shares. Those issues made up a very considerable part of the small output and in keeping with recent performances In this group, -a few new high records were scored. Bethlehem Steel made a maximum gain of 14fe points at 341fe or 14fe over Its re cent best, and Crucible Steel, which led the market in point of activity, rose 5 points ta 15. Crucible preferred enjoyed a similar distinction, rising to 107fe. Other stocks of this class trailed along at gains of 1 to 2 points. The movement in war shares was the more notable because of the apathy manifested toward investment issues. Tnese were most ly lower, when quoted, at all, but their part In the day's operations was negligible. Rock Island became strong toward tae close of the session on word from Chicago that money to meet impending Interest ob ligations would be provided. United States Steel, generally regarded as the balance wheel or barometer of the market, rose and fell within narrow limits, being subject to teady pressure. Total sales amounted to 445,000 shares. Conservative Wall Street devoted most of its consideration to negotiations attending the Anglo-French credit situation and Waan ington'a exchange of views with Berlin. Opinions of bankers respecting the reported plan and scope of the proposed interna tional loan are not altogether unanimous. The condition of the exchange markets con tinues more or less nervous, but reduction of offerings on London has made for some steadiness in tne remittances to uiai cemer. London and Europe, as a whole, were rain sellers here, but in comparatively small amounts. Prices for Americans were 1 to 2 points lower abroad, but these quo tations were not met here. Rumors that Amsterdam was negotiating the sale of a large amount of German-owned American securities, lacked confirmation In international banking circles. The local bond market was irregular at Mie' outset, but made general Improvement later. Total sales, par value, aggregated $2, 055,000. United States bonas were un changed on call. Closing S&les.
