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.

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

CHICAGO, Sept, 17. 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.

HEAVY FIGHTING PREDICTED
Canadian Soldier Sajsx Allies Are
Pleased With American Stand.
ABERDEEN, Wash.. Sept. 1". (Spe
cial.) 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."
