TRIBUTE TO NORTHWESTERS' AJPPIJE
Virginia Agricultural Expert Fays Remark
able Compliment.
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.

Bank clearings of the Northwestern, cities

SEATTLE, Wash.. Jan. 9. United
States District Attorney Allen today
received from Attorney-General Greg
ory a telegram denying; Mr. Alien's re
quest for a special prosecutor to handle
the prosecutions for violation of the

sons had not been assigned to warrant
a (special prosecutor, and that such
action would only be considered in the
event that specific charges of unfair
ness were made against Mr. Allen.
Mr. Allen's request for a special
prosecutor has caused belief that irn

WHEAT IS TOP HEAVY
Final Quotations Are Lowest
of Day at Chicago.'
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.
