Mr. Penwell addressed a gathering of wool men and declared that owing to the de mand of ships for war purposes, no tonnags could bo spared to bring to this country wool for civilian clothing. The only wool now being released for other than war use Is for paper makers' felt, for fume bags for smelters and for gaskets for steam engines. These, Id reality, are war uses. No band knitting yarn Is to be made, said Mr. Penwell. and orders undoubtedly win be Issued stopping the manufacture of fancy Indian blankets and Navajo ruga. Charges ef discrepancies in the valuation of wool la Boston were discussed. Mr. Penwell said some changes In procedure in the valuation of wool which were advocated by California growers probably would be made soon. Accompanying Mr. Penwell te Baa Fran cisco were Charles 1L.

The trend -was downward the past week on nearly all leadrng lines of fruits and vegetables, but except for cantaloupes the declines were light to moderate Carlot movement was not particularly heavy; 8945 cars, compared with 8404 cars last week and 10,294 the corresponding week last year. Apples, potatoes and California fruits showed consideratle increase over last week's fig ures, but other leading commodities moved in lighter volume, according to the weekly produce review, issued yesterday by R. L. Ringer, In charge of the local office of the Bureau of Markets. Potatoes have changed hands the past week with scarcely a fluctuation in price from the Atlantic to the Pacific Best Cali fornia stock is selling around $3.75 per hun dred In the Northwest and $3 in Ios An geles. Prices are higher in the Northwest than In the Eastern centers of population. which is accounted for by tho almost total failure of the early crops of Oregon ana Washington. In ordinary years they supply Northwestern needs after July 15. but this year California and Idaho stocks ar still being imported. .The shipments of th past week increased heavily to 2490 car after two weeks of light shipments. 1661 and 1774 cars respectively. The Western slop of Colorado is becoming a heavy shipper. The week trading In onions has been on a steady basis, with a slight retreat In prices for Western yellow stock. Heavier receipts from nearby sections dropped Washington and California yellows to a range of $2.70 3.50, whereas & week ago they reached as high as $3.75 In Kansas City. Shipments for the week totaled 332 cars, of which Cali fornia shipped 181 and Washington 46. New York stepped forward yesterday as a heavy shipper with 19 cars. The peach crop of 1918 Is fast losing its commercial importance in a large part 01 the country, but la still a vital factor In the Northwest, where the late crop Is yet to move. The Spring frosts cut tnat materi ally so it will not be as large a deal as in previous years. California Elbertas were commanding $1.4001.50 per box, both In the Middle West and Northwest a week ago, but they have slumped as low as $1 since then In the Middle west, Kortnwest values still continue high, but later varieties are superseding the Elbertas. Shipments the past week totaled 5S7 cars, as against 810 cars the previous week and. 1309 cars tho week before. California cantaloupes declined sharply with a general range at the close of the seven days of $2.503.25. compared with $44.75 tho previous week. New York, which quoted extremely high prices last week, declined this week to $2.25. Present prices are still higher than prevailed last year, when the Jobbin? rana-e for the cor responding week was $1.50 2. 50. Shipments of grapes, pears and plums from the Paclfio Coast sections again In creased and prices tended lower. Choice Bartletts ranged $2.25 2. 75, f. o. b. Sacra mento, hut sold nearly steady In leading consuming markets at $3 3.75 per box. Malaga grapes declined 5075c. ranging generally $2.103 per four-basket crate. Movement of pears was 1174, compared with 1112 last week. Plums, 830 cars, compared with 224 last week, and grapes, 632 cars, compared with 424 last week. Western boxed apples are beginning to ap pear In Middle Western markets, where they sold at a general range of $2.753.25. Total apple shipments showed continued Increase with 436 cars compared with 412 last week. Tomato shipments were S27 cars, compared with 258 last week.
