J Millers suy the shortage In mlllstufTs Is the greatest In years. They attribute this condition to the hiiiuiIiicmi of Hie oriental Hour trade thus far this sea son. While there wan a umall puri of oriental flour buying at the Hart of the canon, the total Palcs to date do rot comare favorably with those of oilu r , seaaons. Most of the mill of the north coast ! have ln.cn tlthtr idle or running but I half or quarter time aline the pre.-ient season started. This Is more espeel- I ally true of the larger mills, which m II most of their product lo the orient. The smaller mills, which Just supply thai needs of their own sect Inn, have oper ated more regularly than have the larger plants. Demand Greatly Increased. Iiemand for mlllfeeds lias been great Iv Increased this season by reason of the high ju ices for oata and bar lev. With a large per cent of the north coast's crop this season sold to the east and middle west, there has ben an actual shortage in both these piod ucta and therefore prices have been un usually stiff and sevtre. The flour nmiket is very fiuiet, both for the domestic and export product Practically no business is repotted from the orient and the general maraet assumes a holiday character throughout. Millers say they "do not expet any Im ther concession In the oriental flour price, but it Is quite probable that flour for local use will go a. fraction down, because the latter has not followed the course of the wheat price.

' The entire crop is now placed at 110,000 boxes, about 7a. 000 of which wero handled by the Davidson Fruit company. Their purchase from the Hood Iilver Apple Growers' union amounted to 52,313 boxes, for which they paid that organization 'the goodly sum of $') 1,724.29. Or un average price for the lot of $1.S1 per box for every thing. Tho average last year was $1.40. so that growers In tho union received 41 cents mora per box for their apples this year than last, which almost equals the entire cost of production. In addition to the union crop, the Davidson company handled 2.1,000 boxes from other growers and about 30.000 boxes were shipped by independent growers and the union, who sold in the neighborhood of 10,000 boxes of fanv? fruit Included In the latter figure, none of which went for less than $2.25 f. o. b. nt Hood River. With everything taken Into considera tion, the season here is looked upon ns far and away the most prosperous ever experienced at Hood Hiver, nnd It is learned from the sale slips of the David son company that the least that Hood Illver apple 4iave brought in tie New York mnrkets this year was $2.20 pi box, which was for a five-tier apple running $1.83 to the box and which are not ordinarily sent to eastern markets. With this as the lowest the Hood Uiver product brought as high as $5.00 per box. In speaking of the sale of Oregon fruit In tho markets of the great east ern metropolis .one of the members of the Davidson Fruit company said to day: "I have received several letters and have seen several newspaper stories saying that n statement of this kind Is entirely without foundation. 1 know tills from our own sales and also from! those which have been mado by others who have shipped Hood River fruit to O. I,., .1 1 , I lia eirut nl.na If la possible for the sales of Hood River ap- files to become public property, as they uive all been made In private. In fact. the fruit has been sold before it left Hood Uiver. The prices mentioned 1 have noticed myself, and they were given for apples sold at public auction. The sales sheets stated that they were from Oregon, whether they were or not I couldn't say. but-I am ready to back up my statement that they were not from Hood River and think it Is only Justice to us .that . tho public at large should know it."
