There are so many war workers in Se
attle that it is Impossible to house
them all, and Seattle is trying to send
some of her inhabitants, who are not
engaged in necessary war work, to
the smaller outside towns. Centralis,

condition as Seattle. There is such
shortage of houses here that many
railroad men are being forced to pur
chase homes in order to have houses to
live in. ,

War and Peace Stocks Respond
Alike to Vigorous Buying Steel
at Top Point for Present Move
ment; Shippings Are Slower.
NEW YORJv Sept 20. Substantial 1m
provement in both tone and prices, together
with an Increased volume in trading, ere
ated a distinct change ln the stock market
today, as compared with yesterday's listless
session.
Vigorous buying. Inaugurated at the open
lng with steels and equipments as leaders.
continued almost without Interruption ex
cept for fractional, profit-taking during the
iinai nour. ana the closing was firm, witn
prices showing 'advances of one to three
points ln many instances.
The issues commonly called war and
peace stocks responded alike to the upward
tugging, although in some Instances the
improvement was attributed to special in
fluences. United States Steel's rise of 1
points to 110. a new high since the current-
upward movement began, was associ
ated with expectations in some quarters that
general higher trade prices would be granted
by the Government, and sharp advances
in equipments, such as vBaldwin Locomo
tive and American Car, with anticipation
of large new contracts. Such issues as
shipping and oils played secondary roles.
Sales amounted to 215,000 shares. .
Recessions in liberty 4s and 4a were
ascribed to preparations to subscribe to the
forthcoming new loan and similar Influ
ences were responsible for the scaling down
in values of the general bond list. Total
sales, par value, were $8,400,000. Foreign
issues made further headway in spots. Paris
6s touched 90, the highest in a long time.
Foreign exchange rates were well main
tsined. aside from Swiss bills, which reached
new low figures for the present movement.
United States bonds, , old issues, were un
changed on call. .

CONFIDENCE IN FUTURE UNSHAKEN

NEW YORK, Sept. 20. Dun's tomorrow

While the special war oemanas or the
period, far exceeding earlier calculations and
still enlarging ln many instances, have not
prevented some seasonal increase or strictly
civilian business, less oz it appears than
usual and none at all is ooservea ln quar

with the pressing Government requirements.
The whole economic structure, from banking
ircles to manufacturing ana distributing
hannels. Is being brought more and more
clearly under the .domination oi war influences.
However, confidence in tne iuture remains

the further readjustments, which are clearly
foreshadowed, will be accomplished with a
minimum of unsettlement, as have been
those already encountered. Yet there is no

Increases In the Pacific Northwestern ap
ple crop, Western New York and the Shenandoah-Cumberland
district do not quite off
set the very heavy falling off of the Mid
dle Western crop and also the decline re
corded in the Hudson Valley and New Eng
land crop since the August report, says the
crop report for Septembor, issued yesterday
by R. L. Ringer, In charge of the local of
fice of the Bureau of Markets.
The amount of rain has been the determin
ing factor Influencing crop conditions during
the past month, the drouth causing the mid
dle western fruit to drop and mature before
sizing up, while a few heavy rains in West
ern New York and the Shenandoah-Cumberland
district have given the fruit a sue
and quality far above the average, so that
striking Increases have occurred in those
favored sections. The United States com
mercial crop now promises 24.0741. 000 barrels,
as compared to 22.519,000 barrels ln 1017
and 25.0ti9.000 barrels ln 1916. There Is now
recorded an Increase of 2,ti4:i,000 barrels, or
21 per cent. In tho commercial barreled ap
ple crop over that of 1917 and a decrease of
1,440,000 barrels, or 4,33S,000 boxes, from the
commercial apple crop of last year.
' A medium-sired crop of large and well
formed apples in the Hood River Valley is
the outstanding feature of the Oregon apple
crop. The Hood River production is now es
timated at 1000 cars of 750 boxes each, con
sisting almost exclusively of Newtowns and
Spitzenburgs. The 10 per cent increase over
last year is explained by better-slued apples.
Apple crops elsewhere in Oregon are light.
About 400 cars will cover the Western Ore
gon production of which approximately half
this amount will come from Rogue River.
Mllton-Freewater is now estimated at about
225 cars.
Production for Washington Is now esti
mated at 17.ft.10 cars of 7o0 boxes each, as
compared with 18.5U0 cars In 11117. Lack of
sufficient water has affected tho crop In
some localities of the Wenatchee-Nortl; Cen
tral Washington district and production for
this region Is now estimated at ti.0u0.000
boxes as compared with 8,2!o,ono boxes in
1917. Of this 8000 cars. 3000 will be Wine-
saps, 850 will be Delicious, K50 Spitzenburgs.
00 Jonathans, ZS0 Home Beauty. The nUe
and quality of the apples In both Wenatchee
and Yakima are excellent. A 5 00 -car de
crease over last year's 8500 cars for the
Yakima district Is the consensus of various
estimates. The Wfnesap crop, the leading
variety, Is good.. The Spokane district is
now estimated at about ltHto cars, as com
pared with 400 laat year. This increase will
about offset a light crop In the Walla Walla
district.
A very light crop with considerable worm
njury characterizes the Idaho apple situa
tion. Production In 191 S will not exceed
AOO cars, as compared with U50Q cars last
year. Attention in called to short a go of
Jonathans on account of the almost failure
of this leading variety in Idaho. Iewiston
is reported with r0 cars, size and quality
good; Twin Falls 125 cars; the Payette dis
trict practically a failure.
The Ctah carloaa movement will not ex
ceed 000 cars. The Colorado crop suffered
seriously from worm Injury.
