A lemarkable compliment was recently paid the Northwest apple In an address de livered before the Virginia State Horticul tural Society at Roanoke. The speaker was one of the best-known fruit experts of the toutn, F. II. LaEaume, agricultural and ln- dustrial agent of the Norfolk & Western Railway Company, and in his address he out lined! the marketing and advertising cam paigns conducted for the apples of the Pa cific Northwest, and plainly told Virginia appj.emen that these Northwest apples were the finest offered in the American market. T2ne address has been circulated through out the South, and is from beginning to end s remarkable tribute to the marketing or ganization and to the quality of Northwest apples. Mr. LoBaume- said in part: "JThe Western growers of both deciduous end citrus fruits have far surpassed the Eastern growers In the efficient grading, packing and standardization of their frnit. in the systematic marketing of same and In the. attractive advertising of their products to the general public Our Eastern growers re going to continue to be seriously handi capped in the world's markets unless they adopt the same methods that have brought success to the growers in other districts. -While I believe that our Virginia grow ers have accomplished wonderful results In the. better production, selection and standard packing of their fruits within the past few vears. nevertheless. It is a recognized fact that we do have growers who slight their pack and as a consequence give our Eastern growers and their apples an exceedingly bail reputation on many markets. I, myself, within the past few years have purchased anples from one of the leading growers of Virginia in boxes labeled 'Extra Fancy," parying $3 per box therefor, and on opening them found under a good top row wormy, speckled and otherwise blemished apples that ehould not be used by any honest grower n filling out any standard pack. It would be folly, indeed, to spend money In advertising Virginia apples until some sys tem has been worked out whereby all the apples advertised under a trade name shall be ' subject to inspection by representatives of the marketing exchange." KROCCOI.I CROP TWO HUNDRED CARS Umpqna Valley tnlon Prepares for Its Best Season. TtOSEBTJRG, Or., Jan. 9. (Special.) With weather conditions and markets en tirely satisfactory, which now practically guarantees a most successful season for the Douglas County broccoli, the TJmpqua Val ley Fruit TJnlon today began preparations for the shipment of the biggest and most profitable crop yet to bo handled by that concern. For the first time since broccoli has been handled on a big scale, the fruit union will this year divide its shipments between two jioints. While moat of ths crop will be handled from the union's headquarters here that portion of the crop grown in tha South ern part of the county will be shipped from Kiddie All of the product, aa in former years, will bo shipped- to Chicago, where it will be sold through the commission houses of that city. A. I Kitchin. manager of the TJmpqua Valley Fruit Union, returned hero tonight, from Riddle, where he mads arrangements lor a warehouse In which to handle tlsa product grown in that vicinity. He says 17 1 less than 200 cars of broccoli will be shlprsed out of Douglas County this season. With, an average of about 430 crates to the car this means 90,000 crates of broccoli will be "mar keted by the farmers of Douglas Cuunty during the next few months. Packing and shipalng of the product will begin in, Feb ruary and will continue into March. It OP PRICES ARE HOLDING STEADY Moderate Amount of ISuMneHS Passing In Oregon Market. There Is a moderate amount off business passing in the hop market this .week at prices ranging from 6 to 8 '4 2ents, with the bulk of sales at to 7V4 cents. H. L. Hart has purchased a number of Dallas crops, including tho $5-baIe Card ' lot at 7 cents, a carload fnom Bevins at 7i cents, and 120 bales from Coe at the same price, also a number of smaller lots amounting to about 200 bales at from 6 to 8V4 cents. English advices show that Imports of hops Into Great Britain, less exports for the months of September to November, both in clusive, were 1449 ewts., as against 33,360 cwt. for the corresponding period one year ago, and 16,449 cwts. two years ago. DECLINE IN EGO PRICES CHECKED Receipts Are larger But Clean Cp Readily. The decline in ths egg market has been checked for the time being, as is usually tho case when prices start downward after the holidays. Ths general price quoted on the street yesterday was 34 cents, and al though receipts were fairly liberal dealers had no difficulty la cleaning up at this price. The butter market waa steady and un changed. Poultry continued to sell at top prices, but tha demand, was not as keen as last week, and an easing off In the market Is expected. The demand for veal is also slower than heretofore. Cascara Bark at Londoa, A London trade paper says of cascara bark: "Cascara sagrada Is dearer, spot sales hav ing been made at from 65s to 70s per cwt There appears to be no limit asked, on freight rates from tha Pacific Coast on cas cara, and In one instance we hear 30 per ton was quoted, to which must be added the various shipping and Insurance charges. London stock at end of November was 88 tons. In the drug auctions 320 bags of fair two-year-old bark was offered, of which 60 bags had been sold at 70s per cwt. net and gross for net." Sale of Vegetables Lighter. Tho rapid advance in vegetable prices is having an effect on Front-street business, and sales in this line have been much re duced. Receipts of green produce from the South are now unusually small, but the quantity is proving sufficient in view of the price. There were no further changes yes terday In ths onion or potato markets.

HOLDERS REALIZE PROFITS Cxport Purchases of Million Bushels Fall to Cheek Decline British Government Withholds All Prices at Liverpool." CHICAGO. Jan. . Attempts that holders of wheat made today to realize profits caused a material set-back In prices. The outcome was a weak close, 1 to 2o net lower, with May at $1.S6 to $1.87 and July at $1.51 to $L61. Corn finished 1 to lo down, oats off e to ?c, and pro visions varying I rom 7c decline to a rise of 20c Throughout ths day the wheat market gave continued signs of being topheavy. Final quotations proved to be almost the lowest of the day, despite estimates that new export business amounted to fully 1.00O.00O bushels. Action of ths British gov ernment In withholding all Information as to prices at Liverpool tended further to de ter speculative buying of wheat in Chicago. Regardless of large sales of corn to be shipped to the seaboard, the market for that cereal eased off with wheat. - Higher quotations on hogs strengthened provisions.
