OREGON APPLE CROP
ESTIMATES ARE CUT
This Year's Production Is
Placed at 4650 Cars.
WEATHER UNFAVORABLE
Reduction in Yield From First
Indications Held Due to
Damage by Worms.
An unusual amount off worm damage,
together with small sizes and more or
less "brown, spot have materially re
Auced the prospective 1922 commercial
apple crop of Oregon, as compared with
the earlier indications, is the opinion
of P. Xi. Kent, agricultural statistician,
department of agriculture, who has very
recently visited the principal apple
growing districts of the state.
The abundance of "worm stings" is
attributed largely to the chaiacter of
the growing season. The long season
of comparatively warm nights allowed
practically uninterrupted activity of the
codling moth, particularly hatching of
the eggs. Careful observations as re
ported, indicate that the female moths
have been two or three times as active
as usual this season in the matter of
egg deposits, which combined with un
usually favorable hatching conditions,
largely accounts for the abundance of
"apple worms." . Furthermore, in certain
districts, where the early indications
were for a light crop, due to frost, "off
year etc., spraying was not thoroughly
done in many orchards.
Apple scab and other fungus has
caused very little trouble this season.
Properly sprayed orchards generally re
port the crop as practically free from
fungus of all sort. But the so-called
"brown spot," affecting the inside of
the fruit, is more abundant than usual,'
particularly on some of the earlier vari
eties. ,
Carlo t shipments as reported by the
railroads for the different districts of
Oregon for the crops of 1920 and 1921,
also latest estimates on the probable
10-22 carlot apple production for the state
are as follws:

The above .estimates have been com
piled after consultation with the best
informed apple men in the various dis
tricts. They show considerable reduc
tion in the earlier estimates, in fact, are
considerably under the forecasts based
on September 1, 1922. conditions. Harv
esting of the earlier varieties has pro
gressed far enough to give some idea of
what may be reasonably expected of the
crop as a whole. One packing house
operator stated that approximately 25
per cent of the fruit from his orchard
was not suitable for packing. He has
already packed four carloads, and he
had the largest orchard and the clean
est fruit in his district.
In the Willamette and Umpqua dis
tricts there was a rather !ig-ht bloom
and a consequent light setting of fruit
with most varieties. This was followed
by an extremely dry season. In the
Rogue river district this was The "off
year," following a heavy production last
year. Hood River estimates vary from
75 per cent to 100 per cent of last year.
Reduction of the Wasco county crop is
mainly attributed to the dry, hot season.
Umatilla county had a severe spring
freeze which is held mainly responsible
fur the small crop of that section. Mal
heur county is expected to have rather
more commercial apples than last year.
Union county will probably produce a
smaller crop- than last year.
BIDS FOR WHEAT ARE UNCHANGED
Volume of Trade Small in Northwestern
Markets.
There was no change in wheat bids at
the Merchants' Exchange yesterday and
the few offers in the open market were
the same as Thursday. Buainese was
light. Coarse grains were quiet at
prices unchanged to 50 cents lower.
The Chicago wire to the Gray-Rosen-baum
Grain company follows:
"Foreign political news continues 'the
dominating influence. Uncertainties of
the situation finally induced the locals
to let go, which caused a sharp break,
Liverpool not showing weakness and
Winnipeg closing higher than yesterday,
despite continued large receipts. Export
business was slow. India has removed
the embargo on its exportable surplus of
70.000,000 bushels, but their pricee are
relatively too high."
At Liverpool December wheat closed
isd higher, at 9s 5d. Spot Australian

"If conditions are not good in my sec
tion of the state right now, they never
will be," declared W. S. Link, cashier
of the McMinnville National bank, who
was a caller upon Portland bankers yes
terday. He said the goose was hanging
high in old Yamhill, with the secret the
generally favorable conditions for the
diversified character of the county's
products. He said it was no one-crop
district, but there were so many Bources
of the river of prosperity that it was
never in danger of running dry.

R. W. Schmeer, vice-president of the
United States National bank, returned
yesterday from a vacation trip to Cali
fornia. He hurried back to get his scat

vailed in that territory.
E. J. Lewis, former manager of the St.
Pau office of Lane, Piper & Jaffray,
harf elected to join the sales force of

LONGS EVEN UP ON CORN
Quotations Reach Highest Mark
at Opening and Hit low
est at Close.
BY CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
(By Chicago Tribune Leased WireJ
CHICAGO, Sept. 20. Grain price were
highest early and lowest about the
close. . "War news" was the dominating
influence. With a relatively light trade,
the markets easily were influenced.
Wheat closed l&2c lower, corn
10 lower, oats unchanged to .c low
er, rye 3c higher to Vac lower. The
September deliveries showed the moat
advance or decline.
Wheat was up lc in the early trading,
in sympathy with an advance of Vic in
Liverpool. The more warlike character
of the news from the near east also
caused the advance. Outside interest,
however, was not large. Pressure from
houses with northwest and eastern con
nections prevented any material advance.
When stocks in Wall street rallied on
the better outlook abroad wheat values
started downward and with a lack of
aggressive support a decline was easily
attained. Prices had a range of 1V4
lc on the deferred deliveries.
Winnipeg; Shows Strength.
Longs were good sellers of September
wheat and the action of that delivery
occasioned no surprise. Winnipeg showed
pronounced strength throughout the
day and closed 54c higher with ship
ping houses buyers of September and
November. December there closed at
ac under Chicago against 11c under
at one time on Thursday. A fair export
business was under way at the seaboard.
Local arrivals were 55 cars.
General evening up by local longs was
under way in corn. While there was
persistent commission house buying, that
was not sufficient to absorb the offer
ings. The finish was about the bottom.
Buying of September and selling of De
cember was on early at 4c difference,
but at the last the spread was only 4c.
Cash demand was reported, as good In
all sections, with industries and ex
porters after grain in the interior. The
car situation hampers business to a
great extent. Sales of 375,000 bushels
were made by local handlers to the sea
board for export. Premiums on spot
showed little change with receipts 442
cars.
September Oats Sell Freely. -
Longs sold September oats freely, but
there was sufficient demand to absorb
all offerings and hold values within a
range of Vie. A house with northwest
ern connections bought December and
sold May early and later did the re
verse. Cash demand rather slow with
eastern buyers holding off until after
the September is out of the way. Re
ceipts, 208 cars.
Scattered short covering was on in
September rye which found offerings
light. The northwest sold December and
the east bought on the breaks. The
two northwestern markets had 216 cars.
Indications are that there will be no
trouble in closing September trades
u-hiph mature tomorrow. There is a
liberal scattered interest outstanding in
wheat, corn and oats and a small open
interest in rye.
.
A local industry is long September
oats against cash requirements, which
are 800,000 bushels per month. It was
cheaper to buy the September at a dis
count under the cash and stand for a
delivery.
Demand for cash corn is coming from
all directions, 'industries in' Illinois and
Iowa were after' the cash grain during
the day. Those in Iowa bid strongly in
the interior. Exporters at the seaboard
were after corn down state. Bids of
17V&C over Chicago September, track
Baltimore were said to have been made
for number two mixed down state, while
22Va over Chicago September I. o. o.
New York for last half Oetober loading
was" said to be bid. Iowa points offered
considerable corn for deterred shipment.
.The number of hogs on farms in the
so-called seven surplus corn states on
September 1 was 29,780,000, as shown
by the detailed government report com
pared with 28,479,000 last year, an in
crease of 3,281,000, or 11 per cent.
Congestion at Buffalo and Georgian
bay ports have tied up the grain trade
so that even lake shipments are made
with difficulty. Rates from Chicago to
Georgian bay have advanced to 3 Vic per
bushel. The permit system has been
put into force. Shipments can only be
made on permits from the Grand Trunk
and Canadian Pacific railroads. No busi
ness is being taken for Buffalo and 5V4o
is asked against 2 Vic recently.
Shipments of 600,000 bushels wheat,
1. 500.000 bushels corn and more than
500.000 bushels oats have been arranged
for all rail, Chicago to the seaboard, for
export. More business would ba booked
were it possible to get cars. The size
of the movement is mainly a question of
cars. Distribution of the - business de
pends upon the ports and railroads able
to handle it. The railroads are having
more business than they can handle. The
New York Central lines are moving
1,000,000 bushels of corn and oats from
Chicago to Philadelphia and Baltimore.
Farmers in the Canadian northwest
are dissatisfied with present prices for
wheat. They are disposed to hold back
their grain. A late Winnipeg message
said that one line elevator house oper
ating 90 stations booked only 28,000
bushels Thursday. Other line houses re
ported much smaller purchases.

The foregoing estimates indicate that
the 1922 United States commercial apple
crop will be nearly 50 per' cent larger
than last year, but slightly less than in
1920. It is highly probable that the
final estimates following the marketing
of the 1922 crop will show material re
ductions in ' the above figures. In the
case of the Oregon crop, packing of the
earlier varieties has shown that a larger
than usual percentage of the total crop
"grades out," and the same is doubtless
true of the Washington state crop.

"With more than a full week's experi
ence under the new tariff it is evident
that the wool trade and the wool manu
facturer are proceeding with more con
fidence much as they may dislike the
form and rates under the tariff for a
definite basis. There had been a fairly
heavy trade for almost every grade and
kind of wool, partly for manufacturers'
accounts and partly of a speculative
nature on the part of the dealers. Prices
are very firm and the tendency of the
dealers is to advocate more money,
especially in the medium grades."

SALEM, Or.. Sept. 29. (Special.)
The state emergency board will
meet in Salem tomorrow to con
sider authorizing deficiency appro
priations for the state school for
the deaf, state penitentiary and the

EUGENE, Or., Sept. 29. (Special.)
Vaughan & Bester, who own and
operate the sawmill at Acme, on the
lower Siuslaw river, soon will build
a logging railway several miles
long, up Hadsell creek, to bring fir
logs down to their plant. There
is a large body of timber up that
stream which the millmen own or
control. This firm also will use the
existing logging road up Barnhardt
creek to bring cedar logs down for
ahinirio mill ar Ret.zen. which
was purchased - from the Monroe
Shingle company that recently sold

EARLY ADVANCES LOST
NEWS FROM DARDANELLES
UNSETTLES MARKET.
Wheat Trading: Closed Before Re
port Is Received of British
Ultimatum to Turks.
CHICAGO. Sept. 29. Influenced large
ly by changing aspects of relations be
tween British and Turkish forces at tho
Dardanelles, the wheat market toy
declined after an early advance. The
close was unsettled, VAQac net lower
with December $l.M1.04Vi and May
J1.071.07. Corn lost
cents; oats finished unchanged to Ho
oft and provisions unchanged to a set
back of 15c. . .
An advance in Liverpool Quotations
today, despite an easy close here jrester
ray, had much to do with the upward
tendency which fo- tne first two hours
this morning characterized the wheat
market in Chicago. Many traders con
struing the Liverpool advance as re
flecting news that British forces had
been hemmed in at Chanak were slow
t allow for later advices indicating
likelihood that hostilities would be
averted through a conference between
British and Turkish commanders. The
more peaceful view of the outlook ap
peared to dominate the market during
the last part of the day. however, and
trading ended before word was received
of a British ultimatum to the Turks.
Owing to lack of any aggressive sup
port, it took only a moderate amount of
selling to bring about the late decline
in the wheat market. Liquidation on
the part of the holders of September de
livery was a feature. A difference of 5
,nta hetwtNn SeDtember and October
made end-of-the-month pwnershlp of
September seem undesirable, especially
as nrimarv receipts today were an
nounced as well in excess of figures last
week and a year ago.
rnm nnrf nntn Tia.rM.1 lftled the action of
wheat. Crippled transportation facilities
had some bearish effect on corn.
Provisions were governed by fluctua
tions on hog values.
The Chicago grain letter received yes-,
terday by the Overbeck & Cooke com
pany of Portland follows:
Wheat Although the market started
higher and showed some streufth dur
ing the first half hour, the advance was
really a disappointment considering the
character of news from abroad over
night. This Influenced some selling by
disappointed holders and prices dragged
lower until about midday, when cables
telling of a mre conciliatory attitude on
the part of the Turks precipitated a
general selling movement. September
wheat was weak, not displaying the
tightness which has been conspicuous for
several days. American cash markets
were easier,'. but Winnipeg reported a
good demand at firm premiums despite
liberal receipts. Kxclusive of war pos
sibilities, foreign advices the past sev
eral days have borne out the theory of
a prospective demand sufficient to ab
sorb the bulk of North American sur
plus. It is very probable that the de
mand from abroad will soon assert it
self in our markets.
Corn Early strength was followed by
a liquidating movement which carried
prices lower with the leading market.
Larger deliveries on September con
tracts, partly in carlots, eased the ten
sion in that month. Spot prices were
lower, hut the basis relatively steady.
There was no evidence of a let-up in the
eastern demand, although it was said
that business was restricted by trans
portation conditions, not an unusual sit
uation at this time of the year. It is
very evident that there will be an ur
gent demand for corn in this territory
from sections which are beginning to
feel the effect of a shortage. In addition
of the unusually good foreign trade.
Oats Selling of September by leading
holders relieved the congestion in that
month, which in turn Influenced selling
of deferred positions based on the idea
that the expiration of the current month
would be followed by a downward re
vision of cash premiums over the Decem
ber. At the same time, it is understood
that cash oats are in a strong position
and prices will probably be well main
tained. Leading futures ranged as follows:

Quaint Quebec is Calling
In all the American continent there is no place like
the Qity of Quebec no place so quaint, so reminis
cent of old France and the eighteenth century.
That old French style of architecture, carefully
preserved during the centuries and faithfully copied
in the newer structures, lends a picturesque charm
to the setting.
Those steep cobbled streets, that confusion of high
gabled roofs, those churches, convents and count
less other features will stand out in your nvmorjr
of a "vacation you will never forget".

Question of Financing Iu rcliaj.es
Is Main Problem In Amer
ican Export Trade.
The weekly wheat market review ot
Loiran & feryan ot Chicago, received ye
terday by the Overbeck & Cooke com
pany of Portland, follows:
Wheat A feeling of indecision whs
prevalent in trad circles throughout Ui-i
week, with the ordinary supply and de
mand influences completely overshadowed
by the foreign political Imbroglio. Fluc
tuations, in the market were ecewdln:y
erratic, following news Indicating war it
peace possibilities, and there was plenty
of either kind In circulation. At the
close tonight the market was rather
weak based on late advices wuRgentlng
that the British and Turks are near a
settlement.
Getting back to a normal analysis of
the situation one can una reaon wny
wheat should and might decline and
equally as good if not better rounoalion
for a bullish attitude. The fact that the
iTnlted Mates and Canada produced big
crops is to many an irrefutable bearish
argument, without taxing into oonsionrw
tion the world's statistics.
Wheat In distinctly a world-wide propo
sttlon and the situation must be analyzed
from that viewpoint. The latest availa
ble statistics show that the Importing
countries of Kurope produced approxi
mately l"60.000.O0O bushels less than last
vear. -and whereas their purchases from
urnlus producer last year totaled B40.-
000,000 bushels, the logical conclusion is
that their requirements this year will be
pproxlmately boo.ooo.oiw ousneis.
On this basis, a close aojusimeni oi
mipplles is indicated snd the only wbv
these figures can be shaded Is by their
Inability to finance, as It Is a wen-known
fact that all Kurope went into the new
year with materially smaller Invisible
supplies than tney naa on nana it in
start of the previous season.
Officials of the United Ktatss depart
ment of agriculture and economics gen
erally are working on the idea that our
foreign customers will unoofer means of
securing; the foodstuff they need.
The seeding of the new crop of winter
wheat ie well under way in the Urgent
producing states of the west and south
west and ia getting a gmid start la the
states east of the Mississippi river. in
the western half of Kansas, Nebraska
Oklahoma and the panhandle ot Texas
August and the first of September were
very hot and dry. so the usual amount
of plowing ami ground preparation In
this territory has not been done. Mince
tho heat wave and drought were broken
farmers are putting forth every effort
to get wheat in- Present prospeots point
to a slight reduction" In creure in this
western and, southwestern territory.
In many places west and southwest
farmers marketed their last summer's
crop quite freely or as fast as the rail
roads could furnish cars, but at the
present time In this territory the move
ment from the farms is very light. Cov
ering a large area of southwestern Kan
sas', Oklahoma and Texas, probably 75
to 90 per cent of the crop ha been mar
ksted.
