FANCY APPLE DEAL
Plans Made for Marketing
Western Fruit at New York
TRADE OUTLOOK BETTER
Distribution of Hich-Grade Stock to
Begin at Once Consumers Will
Also Profit by the Movement.
Contracts Made In Northwest.
Plans have been completed for mar
keting Western box apples in New
York on a large scale -during the last
balf of the season. The movement in
volves a big deal in extra fancy apples
axclusively, since that grade will con
stitute the bulk of shipments to East
ern markets from now on. The prin
cipal medium for the New York dis
tribution of extra fancy stock will be
the firm of Steinhardt & Kelly. Joseph
Steinhardt was recently in the North
west, where he contracted with the
Wenatchee Vaiiey Fruitgrowers' As
sociation for handling its entire out
put of extra fancy apples in New York
City: and following this similar ar
rangements were made for distribut
ing llheral rnnt?nmAiit(i of the same
grade of fruit from the Wenatchee Pro
duce Company, Yakima County Horti
cultural Union and the Apple Growers'
Onion and the National Apple Com
pany, both of Hood River.
While the purpose of the general
plan is to concentrate effort in selec
tion and shipping, it is in no sense pro
posed to undertake to fix prices. If
the inclination to do this exists it
would be Impossible to make it elect
ive on account of the general apple
situation. The supply the country over
la too great and the intent to sell is
n mtfnntr n nomlt anvlhlnff Ilka A
market monopoly. It is not to be under
stood that the apple house mentioned
will handle all the Eastern shipments
of all the organizations named. Its
particular undertaking is to find the
best possible outlet for a supply of ex
tra fancy fruit of from 1800 to 2000
cars. These shipments will not be-handled
by any of the New York fruit
auction houses, but will be distributed
by private sale at just such prices as
demand for the goous win create, xne
distributing firm confidently expects
a fair demand from foreign markets,
especially those of Great Britain.
Commenting on the phenomenal ap
ple crop of the United States and its
effect on the market, Mr. Steinhardt
said In an interview:
"Weak markets and low prices were
bound to attend such facts, but the gen
eral situation has been very much
aggravated by the policy of the retail
ers the country over in trying to hold
their prices at the same level as could
be maintained when the wholesale cost
was about twice as much as it is now.
"In previous years such grades of
fruit as are retailed by the average
grocer or fruiterer sold at $2 to $3 per
box wholesale. These same grades
have been selling at from (1 to 11.50
during the current season, which means
actual heavy loss to growers, since
freight charges to the East amount to
0 cents and picking and packing costs
are at least 40 cents, but the retailers
have demanded about the same price
as in former years and this has oper
ated to check consumption to a great
extent.
"Some change Is probable along this
line, because facts have become known
by many consumers and the intelli
gence is rapidly spreading. Also such
tacts are becoming to be considered
notorious.' if not something else, and
It is within the probabilities that this
may result In some revision by retail
ers of their policy and a consequent in
crease in consumption by the millions
Who purchase in small quantities."
OREGON NEWTOWNS TOP MARKET
Car of Fine Fruit Brines Brat Price of
Heauton at Auction In London.
Apple market conditions in London,
according to W. Dennis & Sons' report
of January 17, were as follows:
"The market for barrel apples in
London this week has been a very
dragging one, due in a great measure
to the wet and depressing weather we
have experienced, which has prevented
the retailer from clearing his stocks.
We auctioned today a very fine car of
Oregon Newtowns. the best fruit we
have seen this season. The apples
were competed actively for by the best
London trade and realized top price
of the season.
"In Liverpool barrels are meeting
with a much stronger demand and are
shillings ahead of London. With re
gard to Oregon Newtowns, Liverpool
has varied considerably during the
week. Prices were firm on Monday,
but the heavier arrivals on Wednes
day brought prices down about a shil
ling per box on all counts. We give
below this week's quotations:
"Liverpool Oregon Newtowns, now 8s

TRADE IN ORANGES IS IMPROVING
With Assurances of No Fronted Fruit HereJ
Buyers Again Take Hold.
An improvement In the demand for
oranges is noted. Local stocks are fair
and prices are tirm at S2$3 per box.
The market inspectors have done
such good work that not a single car
of frosted oranges has been put on
sale here. Every car received has been
thoroughly inspected, and the few that
were found frosted were sent out of
town.
The demand for apples was moderate.
Some poor stock is still coming along,
but the lower grades in general are
well cleaned up.
Ripe bananas were very scarce. Four
cars that are due Monday were re
ported green out of Los Angeles.
The Springbrook Berry Growers' As
sociation, which puts the first Oregon
strawberries on the market every year,
has decided to open headquarters in
Portland next Summer and sell direct
to the trade.
DEMAND FOR WHEAT IS SLACK
Competition Snhlc1ee nod Tendency of Price
Is Towards Keaction.
The demand for wheat was slack at
the close of the week, and, as was to
be expected, most of the buyers quoted
lower prices. It is probable that a
small amount of grain could have been
sold at the prices that prevailed earlier
in the week, but there was no such
keen competition as excited the market
recently.
Oats and barley were quiet. There
were no new developments in the flour
trade.
Local receipts, in cars, were reported
by the Merchants Exchange as follows:

BUTTER DECLINES CENT AND HALF
Market Weakens With Increase in Produc
tion Cheese Inner. .
There will be a drop of 1' cents in
the local butter market Monday morn
ing. This will put the market on a
36-cent cube basis. With the mild
weather the local make is increasing
and Is now sufficient to take care of
all the trade.
Cheese is moving fairly well, and
with a better Inquiry the market is on
a firmer foundation.
There is a good demand from the
north for eggs, and this, with the
higher prices at San Francisco, is hold
ing the local market steady.
Poultry weakened steadily in the lat
ter part of the week, owing to liberal
receipts. At the close hens and springs
sold at 13 ft 14 cents, ducks at 15 16
cents, geese at 1012 cents and dressed
turkeys at 22 54I&25 cents. Dressed
meats were unchanged.
TWELVE CABS OF ONIONS SHIPPED
Market Bolds Finn at 85 Cents a Sack

Twelve cars of onions were sold by
the association in the past week at

cars remaining, which compares with
146 cars iert on mis aaie iai ycai,
cars two years ago, 142 cars three years
ago and 162 cars on the corresponding
date in 1909.
The demand for shipment outside the
state continues good. The market
holds Arm at 85 cents at f. o. b. points.
SHERIDAN HOPS BRING IS CENTS
Better Inquiry From East Oregon Crop
Fixed at 110,000 Bales.
The sale of the Paul lot of 155 bales
at Sheridan at 18 cents was confirmed
yesterday. A number, of purchases
from dealers' stocks were made by
Portland and Salem firms. There was
more inquiry from the East, but buy
ing was difficult.
The 1912 crop of Oregon has now
been definitely fixed at 110,000 bales.
The figures are based on the shipments
to date and the known stocks held by
growers and dealers in the state. Grow
ers' holdings are about 7600 bales.
Head Lettuce Coming From Texas.
A car of fancy Big Boston head let
tuce in hampers is due from Texas
Monday. This will be the first ship
ment of lettuce ever brought from that
state. Owing to the high prices and
poor quality of the California vege
table, dealers found it necessary to go
to Texas for a supply. A car of mixed
San Francisco vegetables is also due
Monday.

Movements in Stock Market
Narrow and Irregular.
CLOSING TONE IS STEADY
Speculative Interest Lessens With
Cessation of Bull Operations in
"" American Can Union Pacific
Scores Point Advance.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1. Movements of
the leading stocks today were- narrow
and irregular. Speculation slowed
down and displayed lack of initiative.
A break of nearly 2 points in Penn
sylvania was the most conspicuous
change, these shares being sold on re
ports of a proposed large stock issue,
which were strenuously denied.
How largely the stock market oper
ations of the week were built about
the bull campaign in American Can
stock was Indicated by the lessening
of speculative Interest today, which
was coincident with the cessation of
the upward movement In Can. That
stock dropped 2 points although it re
covered much of its loss.
Selling of these shares was attribu
ted to disappointment of traders who
had expected a definite announcement
of a plan to pay off the back dividends
on the preferred.
Another influence that tended to re
strict speculation was the belief that
the Supreme Court's decision in the
Minnesota rate case might be handed
down on Monday.
Independent steel stocks developed
considerable strength. Coldrado Fuel
preferred rose 4 points to 155, its record
price.
Increased interest "was shewn in
Union Pacific, which for a time sold
at an advance of a point on expecta
tion that announcement of the Harrl
man dissolution plan would soon be
made.
Bonds continued to move in an un
certain way. Total sales, par value,
$1,463,000. Panama 3s advanced on
call on the week.

Cattle Off Quarter on Week and
Sheep and Hog Markets Affected.
Quiet at Close.
Only five loads of stock were re

Two loads of hogs were disposed of,

were:

104 hogs - 157 $7.35
105 hogs 161 7.50
Saturday's receipts were 6 cattle, 307
hogs and 316 sheep. The shippers were
C. E. Lucke, Canby, 2 cars of cattle,
sheep and hogs; O. W. Griffin, Weiser,
1 carof sheep, and Don A. Dewey,
Marshfield, Idaho, 2 cars of hogs.
In an interview D. O. Lively, chief of
livestock department of the Panama
Pacific Exposition, blames the under
production of cattle for the present
condition of living costs. He said:
"The jbulk of Western lands are best
fitted for stock grazing and the farmer
sold his birthright for a mess of cold
turkey when he turned from the splen
did beef production of the old days to
raising grain. The production of live
stock Is going to grow in leaps and
bounds, for the reason that the farmer
and small ranchman have finally real
ized the profit there Is in raising live
stock, especially as contrasted against
truck farming. The generous prices
paid for stock in the open market, com
bined with the work of the agricul
tural colleges toward this end, have
helped convince the farmer that he had
better change and reap this new field."
Professor A. E. Chamberlain, agri
cultural commissioner of the Great
Northern, recently said: "I have always
believed that the greates.t asset of the
State of Oregon is grass. While' you
are struggling with the development
of orchards, the fruit lands and irriga
tion projects, there is going to waste
each year in the State of Oregon grass
that has been provided by nature, with
out any aid from man, that if consumed
by livestock. would produce more net
wealth for your people than Is produced
from the fields of some states in this
Union that have three, four or five
times the rural population you have
in Oregon."
Receipts for the week have been:
Cattle, 1072; calves, 2; hogs, 4622; sheep,
3354; horses, 16. The official weekly
market report follows:
Notwithstanding the fact that re
ceipts have been light and compara
tively few cattle were offered to the
trade, prices have sagged fully 25 cents
all along the line. Prime steers sold
$7.50 to $7.75, cows $6.50 to $6.75, heif
ers $7.00 to $7.25, and bulls at $6.00,
represent a conservative price range.
Downward tendency to the swine
trade early in the week became chronic
by Thursday, when best lightweight
hogs sold at $7.50 to $7.55. These prices
are 20 to 30 cents lower than a week
ago. Liquidation has been very liberal,
4622 head of swine being unloaded here
since Saturday.
Mutton values received a trimming
Thursdav. due to the letup in demand.
The cattle decline has affected both
sheep and hog markets, and fresh meat
business shows big losses compared
with early January trade. Choice
wethers are down a quarter at to

CROP MAY BE SAFE
Damage From Cold Wave in
Southwest Not Expected.
CHICAGO MARKET EASIER
Primary Arrivals, Double Those of
Tear Ago, Also Operate Against
Bulls Corn Lower on Prob
able ' Larger Receipts:
CHICAGO. Feb. 1. Belief that the
Southwest would escape damage from
the cold wave tended today to pull
down the price of wheaL An easy tone
prevailed at the close, with quotations
ranging from H to 14c decline to a
shade advance, compared with the night
before. Corn lost to 14c net, and
oats 1-16 to ic to c The outcome
in provisions varied from 5c off to a
gain of a shade.
Except for a short time at the be
ginning, little disposition was shown
to carry the wheat market upward op
account of possible Injury due to zero
weather. An additional influence
against the bulls was the fact that
primary arrivals amounted to nearly
double those of a year ago. 896,000
bushels, against 457,000- bushels. There
also was reports that New York had
been overloaded with flour. Light de
liveries of wheat by farmers in the
Northwest helped prevent any serious
backset in prices. .
Improved condition of country roads
led to an easy market in corn, the idea
being that large receipts would follow.
Oats likewise gave way, liberal sell
ing orders more than offsetting various
attempts to lift the market.
Provisions felt the effect of unload
ing attributed to one of the big pack
ers. The bulk of the offerings, though,
came out only on hard spots.

Decrease.
The Financier says today:
The statement of the New York
Clearing-house banks was distinctively
different from those of the preceding
few weeks, the current exhibit having
shown a decrease of $3,609,000 in cash,
whereas preliminary estimates had in
dicated a gain of more than twice that
amount. It is difficult to explain the
discrepancy except that money with
drawn for gold exports counted largely
in the totals. Money is still flowing
in this direction from the interior, al
though the banks have been losing to
the sub-treasury on account of with
drawals for export purposes. A very
large volume of National bank notes
has also been going to Washington for
redemption.
Loans increased $25,838,000, and this,
with an Increase of $8,992,000 in de
posits, brought about a decrease of $5,
340,200 in excess reserve, making the
present surplus above the 25 per cent
minimum $16,125.200.

have two new domestic tangles to un

Nelson met last evening in the Wolgast
apartments at the Imperial Hotel for
the first time in a year, and, between
kisses and sobs, vowed that an eternal
Hague tribunal shall preside over the

It would have taken a $75 a week

ELECTION DATES FIXED
LOCAL. OPTION" VOTIXG REGU
LATED BY LAW.
Attorney-General Says First Tuesday
After First Monday in November
Is Only Legal Day.
SALEM. Or., Feb. 1. (Special.) In
an extended opinion Attorney-General
Crawford today rules that local option
elections cannot be held spasmodically
throughout the year, but must occur
on the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in November, with the regular
state and county elections.
The opinion is given In response to
an inquiry from Mrs. Clara H. Hoff
mann, president of the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union, of Metolius,
Oregon. She asks whether the action
of the County Court of Crook County
was within the law in granting a pe
tition for a special election on the wet
and dry subject to be held February
28.
The Attorney-General, after quoting
the state Supreme Court, holds that
the liquor question under the present
law is not a local or city matter, but
is a state or county question, and as
such, the election must be held in con
formity with the state laws.
Although this opinion will have no
formal effect In invalidating any elec
tions, it will probably have the effect
of staying some of the pending elec
tions, at least until the Supreme Court
passes authoritatively on the matter.
In answering the query, the Attorney-General
quoted that part of section
3, of the local option law, (which is
section 4922 of Lord's Oregon Laws),
which relates to the subject in ques
tion as follows:
"The election hereunder shall be held
only on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in November of any year.
The petition therefor shall be filed
with the County Clerk not less than
30, nor more than 90, days before the
day of election or If held at
the time of a city election, then within
said city or town by the Judges and
clerks appointed and qualified under
the charter of such incorporated city
or town or under the laws of the state
regulating such city or town election,
and the returns thereof shall be made
in conformity with the provisions of
said general election laws. If, under
the provisions of this act, an election
shall be demanded wholly or in part in
any incorporated city or town or any
ward or precinct therein, to be held
at the time of the city or town election
occuring in a year in which there is
no general election, then the County
Clerk shall notify the proper author
ity of such city or town that such
election has been demanded, in order
that such city or town authority may
cause the official ballots to be pre
pared in accordance with the provis
ions of this act, and the City Auditor,
or Clerk, or Recorder, as the case may
be, shall make return to the County
Clerk of the vote for and against pro
hibition in the several precincits of
said city or town, and thereafter said
matter shall proceed as in the case of
a general election."
