from the British Isles was next in
importance and formed a little more
than one-tenth of the whole, and
practically twice the quantity of
cargo originating fronT continental
Europe. The east coast of Mexico
furnished approximately one-twelfth
of the westbound cargo tonnage
through the canal, practically all
of which was fuel oil.

BIG APPLE MOVEMENT DUE
Shipment by Water This Year
Promise to Break Records.
In the resumption of the Blue Star
line refrigerator service to the
United Kingdom the steamer Goth
icstar is to be the first ship here,
expected October 12 and the Pacific
Steamship company, representing
the fleet, says the vessel will have
an unusually good cargo. The load
ing will be featured by a consider
able shipment of apples.
In turn the Tudorstar, Tuscanstar,
Magicstar and Romanstar will be
along for refrigerator freight. With
the Royal Mail and Holland-America
fleets augmented to take care of
the fruit movement to Europe,
while there will be ample facilities
for handling the product to the At
lantic coast ports, indications are
that the present season will mark
the . exportation of the largest
amount of apples yet routed via
water lines direct.

WHEAT POOLS REACH
50,000.000 BUSHELS
) s -ga ii.
Vast Amount to Be Mar
keted Co-operatively.
GROWERS ARE ORGANIZED
George C. Jewett. General Man
ager of Northwest Association,
Returns From Minneapolis.
A total of at least 50 million bushels
of wheat to be marketed co-operatively
In the United States this year is esti
mated by George C. Jewett, general
manager of the Northwest Wheat Grow
ers Associated, who has just returned
from Minneapolis, where the association
recently established sales offices. A
North Dakota Wheat Growers associa
tion has recently been added to the
Northwest Wheat Growers Associated
to care for Dakota wheat and til at mov
ing eastward from Montana.
"The Northwest Wheat Growers Asso
ciated is planning to aell from 10,000,000
to 20.000,000 bushels of wheat from
these two states through Minneapolis
and Duluth," said Mr. Jewett, "and we
also are making a number of sales for
the Nebraska Wheat Growers associa
tion in addition to these group a State
associations also are operating for the
first time this year In Kansas, Colorado,
Oklahoma and Texas. With the Pacific
coast pools included. It appears certain
that at least 50 million bushels of wheat
will be sold co-operatively during 1922.
"The North Dakota Wheat Growers
association is making use of a War Fi
nance corporatiorf"loan for advances to
its growers when they deliver wheat,
and the Montana organization has a
large commitment from a syndicate of
California bankers. In addition to Its
War Finance corporation money.
Mr. Jewett will remain at the Port
land office of the Northwest Wheat
Growers Associated for several weeks,
after which he wit return to Minneapolis
again to resume personal supervision of
the sales offices there. A Duluth sales
branch recently was added by the North
west Wheat Growers Associated to han
dle the export wheat going eastward.
The trustees of the Northwest Wheat
Growers Associated were in session In
Portland yesterday. Those present at
the meeting were George C. Jewett, W.
J. Robinson of Spokane, manager of the
Washington-Idaho association; R. V.
Perringer, of Belmont, Wash. ; H. J.
Herman, of Genesee, Ida., president of
the Idaho association; R. W. Shumway,
of Milton, Or. ; C. A. Harth, of the
Dalles; R. C. Cresap, O' Lew 1st on, presi
dent of the Montana association, and
B. A. S wall, of Highland, Mont
MORE EXPORT INTEREST IN WHEAT
Bids for October Delivery Advanced at
Merchants' Exchange.
The wheat market was much firmer
yesterday, and bids for October delivery
were 15 cents higher at the Merchants'
Exchange than on Friday. More interest
is being shown In the export situation
and with freights lower new business is
believed to be possible. Trading in the
northwestern markets is restricted by tho
scarcity of farmers' offerings. Reports
from some sections are that fully 75 per
cent of the crop has passed out of first
hands. In othr sections half. of the
crop has been sold. .
The Chicago wire to the Gray-Rosen-baum
Grain company follows:
"Political situation again dominating,
press dispatches stating that Turkish
chief defiant, requested British to de
part. Believed war near. Primary re
ceipts for week three-quarters million
larger, but strength cash situation more
impressive. Outside trade increasing and
sentiment more bullish. Anticipate high
er prices, but would buy breaks only."
December wheat at Liverpool closed
Hd higher at 9s 6d. September closed
at 10s Id.
Broomhall's cables follow:
"United Kingdom A fairly good busi
ness was transacted In wheat in the
United Kingdom, mostly in Manitobas.
However, some Australian sorts and
American winters and Argentine wheats
also changed hands. Buyers have taken
hold in a fair way but as yet do not ap
pear anxious to pay full prices, al
though any quantities available at con
cessions usually are picked up.
"Argentina Weather continues clear
and eold, which Is favorable for the
growing crop of wheat. The outlook
is generally optimistic."
Terminal receipts, In cars, were re

EARLY DECLINE IN COTTON MARKET
Prices Steady Later On Covering by
Shorts.
(By Chicaso Tribune Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, Sept. 30. The two fea
tures on the opening decline of 13 to
88 points in the cotton market this
morning were liquidation of long ac
counts, due to nervousness over affairs
In the near east, and heavy southern
selling, presumably against the continued
rapid movement of cotton in the south
west. December contracts broke to
20.70 under this pressure, but there
was a good deal of price fixing by the
trade, and if longs feared to carry con
tracts over- the week end, shorts were
sufficiently alive to the possibility of a
turn for the better in the near eastern
affairs before Monday morning to cover
their commitments. This steadied the
market after the first rush of selling
orders had been absorbed and there
were moderate rallies, although the
undertone was nervous. The market
closed teasy, 58 to 68 points lower.

Rapid Price Changes Mark
Higher Quotations,
CEREALS ARE ERRATIC
Evening Vp of Contracts Leads to
Vnusual Fluctuations Due
to Near East CJrisls.
BY CHARLES D. MICHABLS.
(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
CHICAGO, Sept. 30. Evening op of
September contracts in all grains, with
unsettled political conditions in the near
east- - resulted in rapid price changes
with a higher average. At no time were
values more than a fraction below Frl
day's fin'.sn, with the close at net gains
of 1H2H on wheat, while corn was
unchanged to c nigber, oats unchanged
to He higher, and rye &2c higher.
Provisions were unsettled, with lard ISo
higher to 2c lower, the latter. on Jan
uary, and ribs were 12 '6' 15c lower.
Influences prevailing in the grain mar
kets are so conflicting that erratic
fluctuations were the rule rather
than the exception this week. As com
pared with the previous week, wheat
showed an advance of 4c on
the? September, while the distant
deliveries were lhl-cent lower.
Corn was also unset led and 9hC lower on
September and c higher on the new
crop futures Oats closed ttv13tc high
er, September leading and rye 41c high
er on September and 1 &2c lower on
the-deferred deliveries- Nearby futures
of lard gained 10&20c and January lost
15c, while ribs were up 2537c.
Seemingly, the transportation tie-up
in North America is commencing to
affect the attitude of importing coun
tries toward the wheat market. A good
export demand was reported for Mani
toba's and premiums at the Gulf have
advanced about 2c per bushel In the last
tew days. Liverpool closed d higher In
the face of a removal of the embargo on
exports from India. The local trade con
tinues to pay close attention to political
news from the near east, and a sharp
break in the stock market with reports
that the British had sent an ultimatum
to the Turks had considerable Influence
on values at one time.
The bulk of trading in the September
was of an evening up character, with
shorts forced to bid up at times to se
cure the grain, while at others long
had to offer concessions to make sies
Movement in the Canadian northwest Is
very heavy, with receipts at Winnipeg
11.902 cars for the week, compared with
8957 cars the previous week and 47S0
cars last year. Shorts were free buyers of
September corn and oats, and, while the
former advanced sharply, oats held with
in relatively narrow limits, running into
heavy selling at 42Hc, which supplied
the wants of buyers. Sentiment general!?
has become more bullish and deferred de
liveries wer-s bought persistently by
shorts and commission houses'. Caah
demand for corn was active with pre
miums 4P4c higher on spot, and do
mestic shipping demand showed Im
provement, with exporters paying rela
tively high prices for grain on spot in
the east.
Rye averaged higher, the buying of
a relatively small quantity of September
to cover' shorts finding offerings limited
until a good advance had been attained.
Export business was light. Sales of 10,
000 bushels were made to go to store.
September trading came to an end ss
expected without any trouble. There
was plenty offered at all times. The
largest holders, cash interests, bad wheat
on the market, most of the day at $1.11.
At that point the market closed with a
net gain of 2, while oats were offered
at 41 hi with about 750.000 bushels
traded at a range of 4041V4. closing
41H&41Vfc. September corn advanced
lHc, touching 63 7 and was offered
bv Jackson brothers at the advance with
the close at 62& or He lower for the
day. All trades were cleaned up at the
last by the deliveries. The wheat and
oats went to the Armour Grain cpmpany,
the corn mainly to Jackson brothers and
Lewis and other grain was scattered.
September deliveries for the day were:
Wheat, 469.000 bushels; corn. 1.535.000
bushels; oats, 357,000 bushels; rye, 154.
000 bushels; lard, 1,130,000 pounds, and
short ribs. 150.000 pounds. For ths
month of September they were unusually
large, aggregating 2.090,000 bushels of
wheat, 3,017,000 bushels corn, 2,332,000
bushels oats, 1,362,000 bushels rye. 15.000
bushels barley, 32.950.000 pounds lard
snd 1,400,000 pounds short ribs.
Until the4ituation In ths near east be
comes more clearly defined a majority
or wheat traders are inclined to go
rather slow on either side of the market.
'A sale of 40,000 bushels No. 2 mixed
corn was made at the seaboard today for
first half November loading at 21c over
Chicago December, which figured out
around 6c over December f. o. b. here,
while 20.000 bushels 36-pound No. 2
while clipped oats loading for the con
tinent sold at equal to 014 over Decem
ber f. o- b. here.
Large crop of rye in the Canadian
northwest has a depressing effect on
the price of American grain. It is esti
mated that practically all of the Ca
nadian yield of around 50.000.000 bushels
will have to go for export as there is
practically no.Jtome consumption.
India has removed the embargo on ex
ports of wheat. Choice white karachl was
offered in Liverpool for September-October
shipment at equal to $1.36 per
bushel, or practically the same as was
asked for No. 1 Manitobas.
French wheat crop for 1922 1. officially
estimated at 235.440.000 bushels com
pared with 332.O0O. OoO bushels last year.
Oats crop, 287. 0O0. 000 bushels sgalnst

The Chicago grain letter received yes
terday by the Overbeck A Cooke com
pany of Portland follows:
Wheat After a small dip early in
the season. the market displayed
strength and advanced sharply with
little opposition. Firm Liverpool cables,
followed later by cables emphasizing
the seriousness of the political situa
tion, contributed to the uneasiness of
shorts. Attention at the moment Is fo
cused on foreign developments and the
ordinary news is exerting little influ
ence on prices, . notwithstanding that
the actual supply and demand situation
appears to be gaining strength. A mes
sage from Portland, Or., today reported
that at the present rate of exports the
exportable surplus of the Pacific north
west will be cleaned up by November 1.
The trade today showed less disposition
to recognise the transportation situa
tion east as a potent depressing factor.
We continue of the opinion that higher
prices will be recorded regardless of
foreign political conditions, although, of
course, any indications of a settlement
would cause a moderate setback.
Oorn This market showed inherent
strength throughout the session with
a conspicuous lack of selling pressure.
The cash demand again was very active
at higher premiums with exporters re
ported to be taking virtually everything
offered and business restricted only by
transportation facilities. The total
amount worked for export today was
not given out. All indications point to
the demand overtaking the supply,
which can be but reflected in higher
prices.
Oats Buying by eastern houses was
the outstanding feature, giving the mar
ket a strong tone. Receipts were esti
mated at 120 cars and the cash market
relatively strong with the demand good.
Country offerings to arrive light. The
market appears to be in a very strong
position.

EASTERN APPLES HURT
QUALITY XOT AS GOOD AS IX
OTHEK YEARS.
Only Mail of New York Crop Re
ported to Be Marketable; Hot
Weather Reduces Yield.
Although the eastern apple crop It
large. It is not all of good quality. Only
about half of ths New York crop Is re
ported to be marketable. Conditions In
the several ststes are reported by the
government as follows:
Washington Apptes showed an In
crease of one point In condition over
August 1 to 82) snd ths commercial
production now promises to be somewhat
less than last year.
California Condition of apples, 87 per
cent of normal, compared with 60 per
cent one year ago.
Idaho In ths principal commercial
districts the apple crop is developing
nicely and promises to be large slsed and
of excellent quality.
Kansas The heat snd drouth ripened
fail apples prematurely and early drop
has been heavy. They are generally
poorly colored snd will be poorer Jn eat
ing and keeping quality then early
prospects Indicated.
Missouri The blistering best. hot
winds and dry weather of August severe
ly injured all growing fruit and apples
dropped heavily. The commercial crop
is fair to poor quality, wlih practically
no buyers.
Illinois -Ths apple crop has been cut
down to soma extent by the hot weather
retarlng development and causing en un
usually heavy drop In lomo localities.
Virginia Ths quality of the apples
this year as a general thing Is slightly
under the usual, owing to Injury from
hall, scab, cedar rust and scale, but
some districts have unusually fine else
and color. Buyers have been scares and
few sales have been made.
New York Allowing for the rather
mall proportion of sound apples in the
southern and southeastern counties. It
Is estimated that only one-half of the
total crop can be classed as commercial
in the sense that It will be shipped by
rail or sold on the principal markets as
fresh fruit. The wet weather has re
sulted in the prevalence of scab and
.tm localities, which have quite a num
ber of old orchards, report almost no
apples' fit for sale.
New England The outlook seems to
have improved somewhat during August,
although much scab and other fungus Is
generally reporwu. . ... '
quite well, generally, despite the bad
weatherj nfl u mOBty Maine's
crop will be light, but the Massachusetts
crop Is proving much better than the
earlier predictions.
