NEW YORK. April 10. (Special.)
fV seem to be running- to re
views this year and a new one,
which seems to bear every earmark of
success, is housed at the Knickerbocker
Theater. It is named "Fads and
Fancies." is produced by Klaw
Erlanger and is Justly described as "a
brilliant and quick moving- kaleido
scopic blend of fun and beauty." There
was melody and dancing; to add to the
success of the entertainment, and the
lavisbness of investiture sets a new
standard for this kind of a show.
Glen MacDonough devised the play,
which, strange to relate, has an idea
behind It that is carried out through
the various scenes. To begin with,
there was a cave, and in it ruled
"Glum" who had imprisoned with hira
the spirits of "Pleasure,'" "Dancing-,"
"Romance," "Beauty" and "Chance."
Tbey were released by Mrs. Blue

make city life endurable after
unhappy experiences in a cave.
The text and the music led them to
varied scenes of New York life. These
Included the salesrooms of an automo
bile company, the festivities attend
the birthday of a pet dog-, a glimpse
of Riverside drive near Clarmont. a
tea house at Lenox, a hunt ball and a
view of Venice on Long Island. In
addition there was a fountain on the
plaza at Fifty-ntntii street and Fifth
avenue, the piazza and ballroom of
The Imperial Palm Hotel." together
with the apocryphal "Court of Senti

The cast was cf tho best. It in

in Germany for a number of years, but

Tom McNauphton. Lydia Lopokova,
George Lemalre. Frank Conroy. Stella
Hoban'aad Laura Hamilton. TO train
these stars and the large chorus such
experts as Julian Mttihell and Herbert
Gresham were employed, so It was
no surprise that the play moved
swiftly and smoothly.
The high point of beauty was reached

There were hosts of other good things

Association Representatives in New
to Sell Last of Fruit in Storage.
there are large quantities of apples
still - in cold storage. the low
prices and extensive advertising have
created such an enormous rate of con
sumption that there will v be a strong
finish for the apple market if the cool
weather continues.
Once the warm Spring weather ar
rives the "strawberry taste" seizes the
consumer and the apple is discarded for
the. Spring fruits from California and
Florida. Last vear the sudden appear
ance of warm weather threw the apple
market into a psntc and the finest
grades went begging at 50 cents. The
speculators had been bolstering the
market by limiting the supply and the
rate of consumption was low. even be
fore the decline came. A result was
that the speculators lost money. This
result coupled with the breaking out
of the European war in August greatly
decreased last Fall the f. o. b. buying
of apples in the growing sections by
New York dealers.
One Sale at Loss Cited.
Steinhart & Kelly, who are the
heaviest f. o. b. buyers of Northwestern
apples, were among those that were hit
by the weak finish of the apple market
last Spring. Mr. Steinhart, in June,
showed a telegram from . Boston, re
porting that a car of fancy wlnesaps
had just been sold for 60c a box. He
had paid good prices for them out
West, shipped them across the conti
nent, stored them all Winter, and re
shipped them to Boston.
This year Steinhart & Kelly bought
f. o. b. in the Northwest, all of the
apples shipped under the Skookum
brand. Ti e report is that they have
lost money on this deal thus far. How
ever, as the last two weeks have wit
nessed a rise of 25 cents a box in the
selling price of apples, there Is pros
pect that they will come out with a
profit yet Steinhart & Kelly were
among those' hit the hardest by the
European war. as they supply the
Hamburg American and North-German
Lloyd liners with fruit, and these are
now tied up at the docks.
From the spirit with which J. S.
Steinhart takes his temporary re
verses, he has won considerable admir
ation among the dealers along Green
wich and Washington streets. He has
a record, which no other speculator
possesses of having never turned down
a car because It did not meet specifi
cations. Many Are Rejected.
.When prices are going against specr
ulators a shipper is fortunate when his
buyer does not find wherein the car is
in some way defective. Great numbers
of cars were thus rejected in Chicago
and other cities this season.
Mr. Steinhart is an interesting per
sonality. Although his wife Is travel
ing in the Hawaiian Islands, and his
partner, Mr. Kelly, is away on a va
cation. Mr. Steinhart remains on the
job. refreshing himself after office

will visit the West during the early
Summer and will be buying apples as
in former years.
It remains to te seen whether the
speculators make a profit on their
investments in apples. The receivers,
who deal on a ct mmisslon basis, are
the or?y ones who thrive whatever the
price of apples is. A largre crop lowers
the prices, but the hulk of sales is
larger. A .small crop lessens the bulk
but increases the sellinc; price. In order
to do their duty and to hold their trad
they must get as good prices for their
patrons as their competitors do, but
aside from this consideration, they rest
easy, assured of getting T or ts per
cent of the gross, whether the grower
makes anything or not
Railroads Sure of Pay.
The railroads are In the same class
with the receivers to this extent that
they must receive the regular rate of
50 cents a box. not under refrigeration,
or 60 cents a box under ice, whether
the arower profits or not
Just how -much of the bulk of apples
will come from the Coast by way of the
Panama Canal is an open question.
John F. Deegan, of the Northwest Fruit
Exchange, makes the following sum
mary of the situation:
"The need of getting Northwestern
apples into the distant markets at a
cheaper cost is impressed on the grow
ers most forcibly during a year like
the present when hundreds of carloads
have sold in;the Eastern and European
markets at prices netting the growers
from a dime to a half dollar per box
with all charges deducted. It is not
without reason, then, that growers of
the Northwest are asking, "Does the
Canal afford a means by which we can
place our apples in the distant. mar
kets at a cheaper cost, that we may
secure to ourselves a reasonable return
on our investment and labor.'
Canal Is Used by Some.
"Already there have been several
shipments of apples from the North
west through the Canal, the first one
arriving January 22 and containing 25
carloads. Condition of fruit was gen
erally good. Shortly after, another
shipment followed, containing North
western apples and California celery,
and the general condition was poor.
The celery was mostly dumped as
worthless, and the apples were over
ripe and "scalded." This condition,
however, was due to a breakdown in
refrigerator machinery during the voy
age. Subsequent shipments through the
Canal have arrived here in good condi
tion. "Weighing the arguments of the Canal
route as opposed to rail, the former of
fers a transportation rate of about 25
cents per box, against 50 to 60 cents per
box by all rail, approximately $200 less
per carload.
"The principal points against the
Canal route may be listed as follows:
"The cost of haul from shipping point
to Pacific seacoast
"The length of time en transit, 30
days against 12 to 15 days by rail.
"The fact that shipper using the
Canal has only a limited market in
which to sell, i. e., the Atlantic sea
board while the shipper using the rail
has the markets of the entire country
at his disposal.
"The steamship -companies 'liability
for shipments is less" than the rail
roads.' Vessels Dock la Brooklyn.
"The steamships discharge fruit in
Brooklyn, where no wholesale market
exists, and to which buying trade will
not go for their purchases. This neces
sitates cartage to New York stores for
disposal. On the other hand, the rail
roads unload shipments on large, com
modious, well-protected docks, situa
ted in the heart of New York's whole
sale produce market. These docks are
the markets at which the buying trade
daily assemble to purchase their re
quirements. "Shipments by Canal must be un
loaded on docks, not always well pro
tected, immediately on arrival while
apples by rail are permitted to remain
in the cars, on track, for quite a while,
awaiting the- pleasure of the recelver.
Export Cost Increased.
"If destined for export apples by
Canal should be re-shipped in refrig
erator stowage, because of traveling
from the Pacific Coast for 30 days In
refrigerator stowage. On the other
hand, shipments by rail can most often
travel across the Atlantic in ventilated
stowage at a decidedly cheaper rate.
"These are the principal points
against Canal route for apples. Some
of the obstacles can in time be overr
come. On the whole, an impartial con
sideration of the proposition prompts
the conclusion that the decided advant
age of approximately $200 per carload
saving in freight rates, by shipment
through the Canal, as against the rail
route, is sufficient to more than offT
set the obstacles presenting themselves.
Quantities of apples will always move
to the East by rail, but as time passes
it is safe to predict that the tonnage of
apples through the Panama Canal will
be considerable."
