OF APPLE QUALITY
The London apple market Is thus re
ported for the week ending Saturday,
January 18, by W. Dennls & Sons of
Convent Garden market:
"We are glad to say that our market
has been a gradually advancing one for
the past 10 days and that really good
No. 1 fruit shows a very considerable
rise in price since we lilt had the pleas
ure of addressing you. There has been
during the past week an active demand
for Canadian Greenings No. 1 grade, the
best quality of which have been Belling
from 20 shillings to 24 shillings per
barrel, Baldwins No. 1, from 17 shil
lings to 20 shillings. Golden Russetts,
from 17 shillings to 20 shillings, and
No. 1 grade stuff has shown similar ad
vances In price. On the other hand,
whilst we have had better Dribes for
No. 8 grade than those recently ruling,
the advance has not been so marked as
in the better grades. Indeed, there Is
such a larae Quantity of this inferior
quality stuff coming forward from Nova
Scotia as keeps the demand for that ar
ticle ruiiy supplied, wnat win do want
ed from now on to the end of the sea
son at, we are inclined to think, good
iricea, wiu oe reaiiy ursi ciass jno. 1
in box apples the situation is also
better, bat unfortunately much of this
fruit Is arriving very unsatisfactorily as
to condition, uregon newiowns are, ror
the most part, even when sound, die
tinctlv inferior' In quality and aeneral
appearance to those of previous years,
whilst in - addition we regret to say
many parcels are arriving tn a very
wasty condition and have the appear
ance of having been affected by frost
somewhere ' en route before shipment
Really good Oregon 4-tler fruit is sell
lnsT from 18 to 14 shillings per box.
but there are many of Inferior .quality
selling at from 10 to 12 shillings and
waaty jmroels at much below these."

Steamship company will Inaugurate a
j weekly schedule on the Portland-San
Francisco run,. Instead of the six-day
ervloe now in vogue. As reason for
i his Is given the fact that the Rose City
is a much larger steamer than the Coata
i Rica, which will be discarded, so that
even with a longer interim between sail
ings, a larger number of passengers can
I be bandied than under the existing ar-
, rangament
It la also argued that by arranging a
! seven-day schedule, the traveling publK
' will always know when to depend upon
a steamer's departure, since they will
leave Portland on Fridays and Kan Fran
clsco on Saturdays. They will arrive
here every Tuesday morning, regular as
clockwork, so it Is planned, and leave ut
4 o'clock In the afternoon until April 15,
when 9 a. m. will be the hour of de-
parture at this end of the line. This
will afford the passengers the opportu-
nlty of viewing the rand Columbia
river scenery. Coming north, the steam-
era leave Bpear-street wharf, San Fran-
clsco, st 11 a, m.
Notice of the above arrangement was
received here last night by Local Agent
J.'H. Lewson. and he Is today sending
! Instructions accordingly to agents
throughout the country where passen-

offer a much Improved freight service.
Assuranoe la given from San Fran

mally began celebrating New Year's on
noara tne vessel. Tne Killing was fol
lowed by the shooting of several hun
dred bunches of firecrackers.
The Chinese are not permitted to go

their own on board ship.

freighter has been turned over to them
for that purpose and there they hold
high carnival in the fashion of their
country.
The pig slaughtering episode yester

TO REDUCE RATES
Attorneys for Chamber of
'Commerce Present Ques
tion to State Board. .
Za a brief presentation of their views
on respective merits of the ease, the at
tomeys for the Portland chamber of
commerce transportation committee and
the Harrlman lines In Oregon today put '
before the Oregon railway commission
the question of a reduotlon ef distrib
utive rates. The presentation occupied
an hour's time, and the commission will
scan the documents presented and con
sider tbe various points raised before
arriving at any decision. .:,..
It was suggested by J. N. Teal, at'
torney for the transportation committee. r
that the O. R. A N. company should
make reductions of about 30 per sent on
ita rates for less than carloads, and 10
to 16 per cent reduction on freight in r5
less than earlote, Flguree were sub-' '
mitted showing comparisons Of distrib utive
rates out of Portland and for aim-,,
liar distances on railroads running out .
ox eastern aistrioutive centers. ins
comparisons show that the Harrlman
lines In Oregon are collecting mush . ,
higher carrying charges on nearly all
commodities that are wholesaled In 1
Portland. . '.
The railroads tn the middle west have
reduced their distributive rates in re
sponse to the demande ef rail eompe- .
titlon and the pressure of commercial
interests that strive In different local- ,
lties to obtain the advantage ever other -
dtarttbutlve points, and while the mo-
lives behind these contentions may tn y
most cases be from selfish Interest the '.
results are all beneficial to the eon- '
nurncr, for all reductions of rail carry-
Inr rates tend to lowering the cost of
living-.
The commission will. 1n making any
adjustment Of the distributive rates In
Oregon, keep In mind the relation of
rates not only to Portland but to all
other points In the state. It Is expected -that
a considerable time will elapse be-. '
fore the commission will arrive at a
determination of the case.

If the groundhog sees his shadow when
he Issues from his hole at noon on :
Candlemas day (February 2), he will.,
crawl In again and prepare for el
weeks mere of winter. If en the ,
other hand, he falls to see his shadow,
he will remain out and make prepara
tions for the coming of the spring,
thus Indicating that the most severe -
part of winter Is past and that milder
weather is near at band.
