ft THE SUNDAY OKEGOXIAT, rOTTCXANT). .TTXT 18, 1920 K OREGON APPLE CROP WILL FALL SHORT Production of 2,500,000 Boxes Is Estimated. WINTER DAMAGE GREAT Yield Placed at 60 Per Cent of That of Last Year Pears and Peaches Also Suffer. turers time a little too strenuously, and that now they must begin to think of themselves For it is certain that the only parties that have rotten any ad vantage out of the recent slump In wool I are the manufacturers. Dealers have had to content themselves with the negative benefit that they were stopped from buy ing too heavily at top prices, though the downward trend of values let them In for tremendous losses on what wool they had in stock, and especially on the wools bought early In the west. 'It Is. manifest that any recovery In values at this time would be of bene fit to them, as there ia no longer any Question of purchases. Ko dealers ' can be found here who would be willing to buy heavily under present conditions, even on the present level of values and even If the growers were willing to sell. They ar getting consignments In sufficlsnt volume to take up about all the available cash in making the necessary advances, these running from 15 to 25 cents a pound.' CHUCIBLE STEEL STRONG STOCK DISTRIBUTION SENDS PRICE HIGHER, The commercial apple crop of Oregon will be about 60 per cent of last year, estimates F. L. Kent, field agent of the government bureau of crop estimates, from replies received from several hundred in quiries sent out to growers of the state. The December. 1919. estimate was 4.0T1.000 boxes, and on th basis of 60 per cent this year's Commercial crop should be 2.800.000 boxes. The 1818 crop was 2,013. 000 boxes. The 1919 Oregon commercial pear crop was estimated at 615.000 bushels and the 1018 crop at 406.000 bushels. The 1020 pear crop now promises about 60 per cent of last year or 360,000 bushels. The Oregon peach crop, says Mr. Kent, lies probably never before been so near a failure as this year. Except in the Ash land and Grants Pass district, the pros pect is "no crop this season." Two hun dred acres In the Ashland district are re ported as having 80 per cent of a crop; no material loss of trees from winter killing; some loss from spring frosts. In Lane. Linn and Benton counties probably 25 per cent of the trees were killed. In the Balem district practically ail peach trees In many orchards were killed. A few Marion coun ty orchards suffered but very little loss of trs. but there is no fruit. In The Dalles district there was soma loss tof peach trees and a total failure of fruit in most orchards. The Milton-Freewater district reports no peach crop this season with loss of trees ranging from nothing In some orchards to 50 per cent in others. A smalt acreage In" Malheur and Baker counties raports no fruit this year. The Hood River Growers' association estimates the total apple acreage at 16.000 with the crop prospect 60 per cent of last yesr. Tabulated reports Indicate a winter kill of 3.0 per cent In apple trees In Hood River valley. The tabulation Includes one orchard of 35 acres reporting 40 per cent of the trees killed. This figure (3.0 per cent) Is much too high for the valley as a whole. In the Fine Grove district there was a very heavy loss, but In most other districts there was practically no loss. For the county as a whole the loss is estimated by local men at 4 to 2 per cent of the total number of trees. One report says: "A good many trees not killed show frost injury or were Injured enough to make them drop their blossoms. The fruit generally Is reported as being clean and of gcod slxs. Pear trees also suffered to some extent. There was heavy Dioom, but there has also been a heavy drop. A light crop Is in prospect. The Mosier Fruit Growers' association estimates the district apple area at TOO acres with a crop prospect of 50 per cent of last year. The Mosier report says 100 early to tell now many trees are killed outright; many are Injured, ranging from ono limb to half of the tree: others injured all over. These latter will eventu ally die, probably. District loss will prob ably be about S per cent." Considerable spring frost damage In the Dufur district but development ' of young orchards will make the crop larger than lust year. One report covering the whole of Benton county places the apple acreage at 1200 and the crop prospect 60 per cent of last r. Jackson County Agent Cate says: "We are -now figuring on an apple crop of about 300 cars against 500 last year, and a pear crop of 500 cars against 800 last year." The Marlon county fruit In spector reports the apple crop prospect at 20 per cent of last year. Lane county re ports the apple prospect 55 per cent of last year. Bank Clearings.

NEW YORK. July 17. For all practical purposes today's session of the stock mar ket was barren of results, the yacht race dwarfing interest in most things of a financial character. The only unusual Incident was a sharp advance of almost 10 points in Crucible Steel at the opening, on news of an un expectedly large stock distribution, but that issue forfeited half its gain later cashing of profits. Other leaders registered no material change, aside from WeHsiFargo Express and National Aniline. Sales were 135,000 shares. Actual loans and discounts of the clear ing house disclosed an increase of over $42,000,000 against last week's iarge eon traction, and cash reserves rose about $19,200,0000. which makes up almost half of the previous week's loss. There was a fair Inquiry for popular bonds, including the foreign group, but liberty issues continued to lag. Total sales (par value). $3,123,000. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call dur ing the week. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. feed. S87SS8 per ton. CORN Whole. $770 80 per ton.

The weakness in the northwest curbed the buying power and caused prices to break harply. At the close wheat showed a net loss of 7 cents, compared with yes terday's close, with final prices ranging rom 3c to 6c under Initial quotations. with December $2.53 and March $2.38. Corn was off c to lc and oats were c c lower. Provisions showed substan tial gains. Tne wheat market started reasonably teady, owing to spreading operations, but .-hole the market exhibited a weak tone. Commission houses were mainly on he selling side and this caused a sharp break in prices. Country offerings of wheat to arrive were reported heavy and liberal purchases to arrive were reported by many of the big elevator concerns Claims of black rust damage received by some houses were offset by the weakness in the northwest markets. There waa little speculative activity and the lack of buying power was a depressing factor. The Chicago market letter received yes terday by the Overbeck A Cook company of Portland, said: Wheat There was no conspicuous trad ing at any time during the session. Buy ing power was lacking and the market broke sharply on selling encouraged by waakness in the Minneapolis market. Temperatures in the northwest will be closely watched over Sunday aa warmer weather will no doubt cause apprehension. Seaboard advices said British buyer took 11 offerings at the gulf overnight. Re ceiver reported country offerings to ar rive freely and bids were reduced 3 cent. corn An active market an oay wnn the close showing only a fractional change from yesterday.

Practically all the known fact In the situation are bearish, but at the same time the technical position is tne reverse of what it was two week ago and the market is In shape to respond to constructive developments. Oats There was little independent action in thin commodity, selling being influenced by the decline In ether grains, rather than a change in the news. Cash demand was unimportant, receipts light and premiums maintained. Weather and crop reports continue favorable. The nt decline has discounted many oearisn features and any change In the news might give a quick upturn when least ex- nected. Rye Trade limited and only scattered liquidation sales necessary to break prices. The comparative stability of the Min neapolis market encouraged some local buying.
