THE MORNING OEGOXIAX. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1913. 0 PPLE CROP SILL lorthwest May Have Less Than 6000 Cars. IALF LAST YEAR'S YIELD Market Is Strong, but Not Yet Estab lished, as Buyers Do Xot Real ize Shortage of Supply In This Territory. The most Important feature of the apple market situation which is just coming; to light, is the shortness of the crop, !n the Korthwest. It Is now certain that the yield vtlU only he half as large- as last year's. Earlier In the season there were hopes of a production of about 8000 cars. Now, well posted apple men declare the crop will not go over 6500 cars, and it may be under toinxr cars. This dev Irensthenl; teller's poll 60OO cars. jvelopment is naturally having; lins effect on the market, from point- of view. It has also injected an uncertain element into the price situa tion. ' Buyers have not come yet to a realization of the existing conditions and until they do, they are .not likely to take hold at the better price level that sellers re anticipating. The reduction in the crop estimates is the result ""of unfavorable weather conditions and the presence of worms In the important producing districts. While the trade has been ordering in a fairly free manner, it cannot be said that the big centers are disposed yet to take hold of standard varieties. There is a large homegrown crop In the Middle "Western ttates, and these apples are now seeking a market at relatively caeap rates. Here in the Northwest the delicious crop ts rld up and the Winter Banana crop is well out of the way. but the price of Spltzen Ttrgs Is still In the air. Spits values are going to depend on the proportion of extra fancy grade in the crop. If the percentage Is very short, a? will undoubtedly prove to be the case, tho buyers will have to pay - dlgh , ade. price for what they get, but this fact yet to be demonstrated to the Duying As for Newtowns, their price win depend on the extent and strength of the foreign demand. The recent big sale of C grade apples has done more than anything else to tirm up the market In general. This grade is now held, according to district and shipping or ranizatlons. at 80 to !H cents. Late sales of Jonathans, Arkansas Blacks, Winesapa and Peartnalns have been made at the prices already announced In these columns. From the trade correspondence coming in. It Is evident the Eastern trade is looking for a somewhat lower price basis than is be ing quoted here. If any variety of apples proves to be as short as believed, these apples are bound to bring good values If sold on the basis of what the markets can con sume. The trade, however, will not pay very high prices unless they see that the supply will be less than expected. No new export business has been done recently. At the present time the market may be described as In a waiting attitude, with buy ers and sellers trying to get together on an agreed basis. The crop is dwindling, but vntll this fact is generally realized, there fs not likely to be a sharp demand. The necessity of maintaining the sterling repu tation of the Northwest for honest grading and packing is greater than ever this year. WHEAT BEDS AftK RAISED SHARPLY October Fife Sells, on Loral Board at 84 Cents. The ffc-st wheat sale of the month oc curred at the Merchants' Exchange yes terday, when 10,000 bushels of 'October red fife changed hands at 4 cents.

Severe breaks which occurred In the price of hogs were generally ascribed to the action of the British prize courts in ordering the confiscation of Amer ican provision cargoes. Traders appeared-xo take the view that the action of the British courts would tend to hamper greatly the United States export trade In provisions. Hog pric.es here late in the day were 25 cents a hundredweight lower than yester day's average. Other Western markets were reported to be off 25 to 40 cents. TRADE MAKES HEADWAY IMPROVEMENT IS NOTED IV DRY GOODS MARKETS. Iron and Steel Buajness Benefited by Lararer Railroad and Con struction Orders. NEW YORK, Sept. 17. Don'a Review tomorrow will say: Oppressive heat checked trade activities in numerous directions, but this is a temporary drawback and Is more than offset by the benefit accruing to tae maturing crops. Agricultural success is obviously the most Important factor In the future outlook, and harvest prospects are made still brighter by the prevalence 0 high temperatures over a wide area of country. Losses in mercantile lines, as a result of hot weather which retarded retail distribution, can bo later regained, and there is no abatement of confidence In sustained progress for Fall and Winter seasons. For the present cross currents appear In commercial channels, with the diplomatia complications continuing to cause hesitancy In forward undertakings. Hence there is less of the anticipatory buying that usually follows the assurance of bountiful harvests, but general trade has made a substantial recovery from previous depression, and the fundamental situation Is so sound that a permanent check to tho advance Is un likely. In spite of all restraints, various branches of business still make headway and the dry goods markets have become prominent in this respect. , 9 The Iron and steel trade Is benefiting y the augmented demands from the railroads. Construction work is also Increasing. Weekly bank clearings are $3,049,630,357. EASTERN WOOL SALES ARE MODERATE Prices Are Holding Steady. Except Where Sales Are Prewsed. BOSTON, Sept. 17.

Woolen mills continue to buy steadily, although for - current needs only. London keeps- up firm for good wools and the same is true of Australia.

TONE AT CLOSE IS WEAK Bears Make Much ot Unfounded Humors - of Hitch iu Anglo French Loan Negotiations. Export Clearances Liberal. CHICAGO, Sept. 17. Reports of Increased offerings from producers in the Northwest had a good deal to do today with causing wheat to decline after an early advance. The bears made much also of apparently baseless rumors that the negotiations of the proposed Anglo-French loan had met with a serious reouii. Wheat closed weak at If lHc nei. decline to lc advance with December 5SW D5VzC and Jlay USVic Corn flnlshed'c to yz uown, oais orr to up, ana pro visions at a setback ot 5c to 15c.

Tha seemingly unfounded bearish rumors of ill- success in some resriecta for the Anglo French loan negotiations formed an unmis takable contributing cause for the weakness wnicn prevailed at the last. Corn weakened with wheat. Favorable weather resulted In an Increase of country offerings. Oats kept within a narrow range. The volume oz traae was small.

A Canadian soldier, now en camped, with his comrades at Folke stone, England, writes of -England's war, preparations to his cousin. Miss Florence Mustard, of Montesano. He predicts that the next four months will see more warfare than the past year, as a supreme effort will be put forth by both parties to end the struggle before Winter sets in. "You will doubtless wonder," he writes, "how we feel in Tegard to the United States entering the war against Germany, due to the loss of American lives by the submarines, and I can truthfully say that the soldiers and people here think that President Wil son is showing good judgment. Were he to declare war, there would be civil war in the United States, owing to the large German population. As it is the American people can do all kinds of good by supplying our army with the necessaries of war." BEND WATER PLANT BURNS Auxiliary Station Lost, but Will Be Rebuilt at Once. - BEND, Or..
