While no hope is given to ship pers for modification of the British embargo on apples, local sales agencies expect to dispose at a profitable figure of Newtowns, which comprise a large percentage of the Hood River Valley crop. Newtowns, until the embargo prevented their export, were sold chief ly on English markets. While the English consumer fancied fruit of small sizes, sals agencies have been unable to work up a demand for the smaller eizes in America. This year, however, the annoyance of disposing of small-sized Newtowns will be largely eliminated, since the apples are grow ing to a large size, and are in demand for domestic markets.
