THE SUNDAY OREGONTAN, PORTLAND, OCTOBER 24, 1915. 15 BULK OF CROPS GONE Only 25 Per Cent of Apples ' Unsold. WINTER DEMAND IS GOOD Eastern Markets in Satisfactory Con dition, Except Such Points as Are Swamped With Consign ments From Box Districts. 0 The Eastern apple markets are In a sat isfactory condition, in spots, and but tor the weakness at the auction centers the situa tion would be a hlghiy favorable one. Not over 25 per cent of the crop remains unsold in the Northwest, the early movement hav ing been unusually rapid, and It Is almost certain that this remnant will be marketed with good returns. The general average of return on Northwestern apples, however. Is going to be brought down by the low prices realized at some of the big cities in the East. Advices just at hand show that the box apple market in the East, and especially at New York, is in a bad way. owing to the flood of consignments to auction and commission houses. Selling under sucb con ditions naturally put the markets in buy-' era favor, and the consequence was that values were brought down, in some in stances SO to 73 cents a box, as compared with the price, basis established in the Coast f. o. b. markets. In other quarters the aspect of the mar ket is better. Big blocks are being sold in Texas and there is a steady business in box apples on the Atlantic seaboard from Maine to Virginia, barring the big markets mentioned. The policy of finding and de veloping new outlets is therefore bearing fruit. There is no -difficulty in selling at such point. On the best varieties, such as delicious, Spitzenbergs and that class of apples, prices are now substantially where they were two years ago. Jonathans moved out fast at fair prices. The large selling agencies. In fact, are practically sold out of everything except wlnesaps and that type of apple. While most of the markets just at pres ent are crowded with early varieties of poor keeping local apples, the trade realizes that supplies of Winter apples will be short, and this is responsible for the sound un dertone of the market. SEW BUSINESS I.UKING IN HOPS Eastern Brewers Uning Vp Old Carry-over Stocks. Th3 hop market closed quietly for the week. The demand for choice hops at 11 to 11 Vi cents continues, but these are not being offered freely. Low grades in some quarters are being pressed for sale, but find no buyers; New business with the Ea?t or Europe Is lacking. The Chicago Brewcri Bulletin says of hops: "Not much buying Interest is manifested and dealers do not anticipate any activity until old carry-over stocks have been used up." This U the view that dealers here take and a quiet market 1b expected for some time yet. When the demand revives it will probably be on account of the business expansion .iu the East. aeveral lots, aggregating 100 bales, in cluding the Acker and Arthur crops. In the bllverton-Mt. An sol section, were bought by the F. S. Johnson Company, also 106 bales from a dealer, the prices paid rang ing from 0!i to 10 Va cents. California wires reported the sale of S00 bales of tionunu and Mondoclnos at 9 to 11 cents. Bernard Bing, writing from Nuremburg, Says of the German hop market: "Hop harvesting la completed throughout Bava ria, tind Bohemia, but the yards aro turning out loss than expected. The hops, however, are of very line and sound quality. The demand on the producing points started vury active and It is estimated that already three-fourths of the crop is sold off. The transactions of our market are rather active, too, and amount to 000 to 1000 bales a day. Choice qualities especially are in good demand and command tirm prices. One realizes that our prices are actually on an extraordinary low level and are likely to advance as soon as political state changes.'! WHEAT BIOS ARK AGAIN REDl'CKD Offer at Merchants Exchange Lowered One to Two Cents. There was a further scaling down of wheat bids at tho Merchant's Exchange yes terday. The slump of 2 cents and more at Chicago and the almost impossible freight situation that exists here were depressing lac tors. The trade looks for further dee-line. Tho only effect of the lowering of 1 he market on farmers, however, has been to prevent them from selling. At the Merchants' Exchange bid prices were reduced 1 to 2 cents, as compared with Friday's offers. No sales were posted at the session. Total board sales for the week were 4O.000 bushels of wheat and 6ki tons of oats. Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: "Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay Portland Sat . 100 11 IS Year ago s."

The week closed with the market for fresh eggs strong and stocks small. Storage eggs are moving better out of first hands. Two rtrs of Eastern fresh have been received, but no more are expected, as higher mar kets on the Atlantic seaboard are drawing supplies that way. It Is understood that a shipment of Chi nese eggs is on the way to Puget Sound. It Is not probable that any of these eggs will be brought to the Portland market. They are not needed here, as there is still a supply of Chinese cinned eggs on hand. The butter market is upchanged. Storage butter is not moving so weil. as Its sale has been interfered with by large receipts of under-grade fresh creamery, The poultry market closed quiet. Hens and Springs cleaned up at 1314 cents. Dressed meats were fairly steady. Fancy veal was Quoted at OH 10 cents. Bank Clearings. Bank clearings of the Northwestern cities yesterday were as follows: Clearings. Balances.

Heavy Sales of Potatoes Leads to Warning Against Accepting; Low Price and Paying; Mlarh. KEXNEWICK. Wash., Oct. 23. (Special.) With the early potato crop havinr incrarl this year to the shipment of au cars from this point, to say nothing of the late crop of tubers, the matter of procuring good seed puiuioes nas become a problem in this dis trict. Lee M. Lampson, agriculturist for Hen ton County, thinks, however, that a little trouble on the Dart of the farmer at the time of digging will eliminate this trouDie. In urging the farmers to select their own seed potatoes he says: "Why buy seed no- tatoes at high prices in the Spring and take chances of getting a poor crop and potato diseases as the result of poor seed when you can have choice seed from your own patch, free from disease, by using the prop er method of selection? The common or&c tlce is to select the seed from the bin or pit, but there is positively no way to get tne oest seea potatoes irom the bin. ex cept to select from the hills at the time of tug (Tin. "This fact is plainly evident from a mo ment's consideration. Suppose you are in the hog business and have several litters of pigs from which you want to select some breeding stock; there are only three or four pigs in some litters and 10 or 11 in others. Do you put the pigs ah in one pen and commence selecting regardless of whether the piKS you select to save for breeding are irom me inters oi inree ptes or ten 7 Coffee Futures. NEW YORK. Oct. -ii3.

GRAIN SLUMP SHARP Chicago Wheat Prices Break With Big Receipts. DAY'S LOSS OVER 2 CENTS Thousands of Carloads of Grain Are Kushed to Northwestern Sell ing Centers Elevators Are Full and Cars Scarce. CHICAGO, Oct. 23. Thousands of car loads of wheat rush in c to market In the Northwest had an unmistakable bearish ef fect today on speculators here. As a result prices, aloue -teadv at the close, were 1 to 1 to 2 3-Sc net lower, with De cember at 973 and May at 1.00Vi. Corn showed a setback of to lVc. and oats of H'ff'-tc to c. In provisions the outcome varied from 7H-Oc decline to a rise of 5c. Acute weakness In the price of wheat do x'elop.Ki aflr announcement that arrivals In Wini.ipejr Monday would aggregate 480O cars. The huge estimate " was accompanied by vord that farmers in the Northwest were piling: wheat on the prairies owing to- ele vators having; been filled and because of the Impossibility of getting- cars enough to dis pose promptly of the surplus. Corn finally gave way with wheat, and under the influence of enlarged c6untry of fering. At ftrstt however, the market tended to advance owing; to hope of sales for export. Much the same conditions ruled in the oats trade as In corn. One of the leading elevator companies was conspicuous on the selling side. Provisions manifested no significant change, but rather favored buyers toward the close. The volume of business was light, especially in the options prior to January.

Nothing came forward tod a for killing purposes. Good butcher stuff is on a parity with Monday's prices. Buyers and commission men do not sea any change In sight for Monday's trade. Outlook la, therefore, steady at prevailing prices. "There has been a good general tone to the hog market each day since Monday's advance There has beea a. rood run la the yards each day with' buyers from all quai ters taking every thins In sight promptly. There is ne evidence of any break, of any kind -predicted for this . market; outlook steady. "A break of 75 cents to $1 in Eastern markets In the last 48 hours confirms the information that has been given our readers in the columns of the Livestock Reporter from time to time in the last four weeks. Thoss that condemn the Portland market ; (usually misinformed people) have simply' not studied the Eastern situation with any degree of diligence During each year Chi cago.prices break from $1 to $1.60 at about this time in the year. Portland market very seldom breaks over 10 to 15 cents. "It is impossible to say just what is the matter with the sheep shippers. They are so few that they are almost a rarity. Prices hers compare very favorably with prices anywhere else they are higher than they have been for years, yet only a small sup ply is coming'. It certainly would be an opportune time for anyone to test the mar ket out. Lambs will bring $7. 2d for prime quality with other lines in proportion. "Nearly all the season's Iambs have been shipped from country points, feeders taking most of the tail-end lots. "There Is a tremendous shortage of sheep at all American markets and Just now seems to be a propitious time for the in and outers to get back Into the business again."

The condition of the apple crop of the United States on October 1 was estimated to be 03 per cent of normal, which Is near ly 18 per cent higher than the 10-year aver age October 1 condition, says the Govern ment monthly crop report. Such condition figure forecasts a total production of 71,- 03 2,000 barrels (of three bushels), which is 433,000 barrels more than forecast on Sep tember 1. Last year's final estimate of pro duction was 84,400,000 barrels, two year a ago 48,740.000 carrels, three years ago 7s, 4U7.0OO, four years ago 71.34O.u00. five years ago 47,213,000, and six years ago 1909), as reported by the census, 14ti,12,i0u bushels, equivalent to 48.707, OOO barrels. in September a special schedule of In quiry was sent to county crop reporters ox the Bureau of Crop Estimates and to a spe cial list of apple-growers, asking for esti mates for early varieties and late varieties separately, 1 percentage of normal crop expected this year; U) yield per tree; laj percentage or mis years crop which has been or is expected to be marketed; (4 sim ilar for an average or usual year: 5 Qual ity this year, 10U representing perfect mar. ket condition of fruit; (tt similar for an av erage or usual year; (7) proportion of crop sold or contracted for by September 15 this ear; (8) m a usual year; (W percentage of this year's crop, which is of early and ot late varieties, respectively; (10 similarly for an average or usual year; and (11) per centage of crop produced in commercial or chards. In dividing the apple croo into the two classes, early and late, early varieties includ ed those which mature In Summer and early f aji ana are not usually stored or Kept for future consumption; late varieties, thoue which mature in late Fall or Winter and are usually available to store or keen for future consumption.

The returns from this Inquiry indicate that about 31 per c?nt or 22,000,000 barrels of tnis year s crop consists of early varieties and 60 p?r cent or nearly 50,000,000 barrels tate varieties. It is estimated that usually about 28 oer cent of the total crop Is of early varieties and 72 per cent late varieties. From this year's croo about CO ner cent of the early and 59 per cent of the late va rieties will be sold from the farm or the orchard. Estimates for a usual year are $o per cent of early varieties and 05 per cent of late varieties sold or marketed. These figures Indicate that from this year's crop about 40,000,000 barrels will be sold, ot which 11.000,000 represent early varieties and 30.000.000 late. The quality of early varieties Is esti mated at 75 per cent for this year and 70 for a usual year. The quality of late va rieties is estimated at 77 per cent for this year and 7ft for a nsuat year. The percentage of late varieties sold or contracted for by September 15 is esti mated at 22 per cent this year and 28 per cent In a usual year. About 60 per cent of the apple, crop Is es timated to be produced in commercial or chards; that Is. orchards from which fruit is regularly sold for marketing in packages.

WOOL PRICES ARE RISING FOREIGN MARKETS STRONG POSIITIOX. IX Upward Tread ef Values la Enclastd Australia, New Zealand and So at hi America, Wool values are rising everywhere in the world, apparently, except In Boston, and, unless appearances are deceiving, the easier tendency which nas heen In evidence there during the past few weeks is at an end. At any rate, there is evident an optimistic feeling In the trade which is not forced, and while recent bales have been only fair, there has been a good deal of Inquiry in addition. There are still those who are- a bit dispirited and who are disposed to vieT the future darkly, but, on the other hand, there are not wanting those who are ready to buy wool whenever the opportunity shows "to get it right." In its review of the situation the Boston Commercial Bul letin says: "Whether or not England Imposes an ex port duty on wool, along with other com modities, and there are some who think that this is not unlikely, notwithstanding the Bulletin's advices last week that per sons In England whose interest would prompt them to find out the facts forth with had replied when queried by cable that they could learn nothing of such in tent on the part of the government, which advices have been confirmed again this week in other quarters, there is a growing conviction that the wool situation is sound at heart, whatever the surface manifesta tions have been during the pant few weeks. "The trend of prices abroad is still up ward. The English markets are beginning to respond to the advances which have been In evidence In the primary markets, especially now that the government has de cided to r rant export licenses on cross bred tops to allied and probably to neutral countries. Then, too, orders are coming forward again for military blankets and cloths and America Is buying English wools and crossbred matchings privately with more freedom. It would seem, than she showed at the London sales. "Cables from Australia this week show prices fully malntslned for good wools snd possibly a bit higher. The report from Sydney Indicated a very poor selection, but tne woois in Aaeiaiae were gooa. ana gooa 6) -64s wools sold anywhere from 63 to 67 cents, clean landed basis. American buy ers were In evidence and took a fair pro portion of the 14,000 bales offered. Italy was also a keen buyer. i "Announcement has been made at. last by the government in New Zealand that exports of wool will be allowed to this country on th same conditions as from Australia, through representatives of the Textile Alliance. There Is no limit placed upon the amount of wool which mill be available for exportation, so far as advices received thus far Indicate, "Offerings are being made from New Zealand. Several clips are thus being of fered, including the well-known Ti-Ti clip. for which 15d Is wanted for the fleece lambs, running In grade from about 3fts to rAs, while for the pieces lid Is asked. Other clips are quoted around 13d to 14d for the fleeces. Advances are still the rage In South American markets and, judging from all ac counts, there have been considerable addi tional weights of wool contracted there during the past week. For Argentina's 4s and As about 40 rents is quoted tor round lots, delivered Boston or New York. cost and freight, for skirted wools, while unskirted and partly skirted wools can be had from 1 to 2 cents less, according to the condition of the wool and the amount of skirting. One quotation of round lots of skirted wool U still made at 38 H cents. Another Importer quotes 39 cents for low Lincoln: 40 cents for Llncoin and average quarter, and 42 cents for high quarter. Of- 1 ferinps from Montevideo are not pronounced, but the prices are and show corresponding advances for the week with the rise la Buenos Ay res. I "While It is difficult to determine witn ' any exactitude the changes ' from week to j week In the situation at the mills, it wouia seem as If there had been some improve ment lately in the demand for cloths, both for men s wear and for dress goods, wooien mills ore still well occupied on old con- I tracts and are reported to be considerably ; behlud In many Instances on their aeiiv eries. Dress goods plants are still running very well on old and repeat orders and men's wear worsted mills are also finding considerable repeat business on Winter weieht roods. In some cases yarn mills are rushing out belated orders on heavy weignts. "The yam and top plants are going along verv well, appnrently. and, while prices are no " iilgher, they are certainly holding steady." BIG BEND WHEAT CROP IS HELD Farmers Reported to Be Waiting; for SI at Hhipplng point. WENATCHEE, Wash., Oct. 22. Spe cial.) Little of the Big Bend wheat crop has been moved. It Is estimated that of the 3. OOO. 0i t bushels of wheat threshed In Douglas County this y.ar, 03 per cent still remains in the hands of the ranchers. Of the 3.1 per cent which has been sold, per haps half of it has moved out of the county. Lart year at tt-.ls timo the Great Northern ran special train over the Mansfield line to carry t'ie wheat. This year it can readi ly b handled by the regular train service. The majority of the ranchers are waiting for $1 wheat at shipping points. 3((any Ma.tson ranchers averaged between 60 and SO bushels to the acre of good quality wheat. It Is now moving out at the rate of eight or 10 cars dally, somewhat faster than from tho Big Bend. Apple Shipments Heavy. WENATCHEE. Wash.. Oct, 22. (Special.)
