APPLE CROP TO i: BE WORTH NODE Prospects jfor-1908 Price in i Oregon Is Better Than ' , ' ' " By Hyman'' H. Cohen. : Oregon's apple crop -will most likely be worth more money , (or the coming xsason- than during 1807., Purlng last wuon the price broke a. few record of It own notwithstanding the fact that .the October panla tomtww uuerierw '.with late alee. - . ' , However, the bulk f Oregon's PP j crop is what may b called a rioh man a -crop, for the better class fruits is al ,weya so high-priced that the average ;citlsen -with a good Income cannot af : ford to Indulge and for the poor person ,to think of eating Winter Bananas or elect Spltsenberge - or .Tallow New towns would be stretching th Imagina tion somewhat. -. , . . Financial depressions scarcely inter fere with the selling of this , world's best fruit for the people who ar the usual purchasers, can always afford to J eonsuma tbeyi no matter how financial matters stand. The demand for these apples Is so great that were the acre age double that of the present time It '4s unlikely that there would be much of price 'depression. There are but few sections of the United (States that can produce the best apples and of this araae inose grown in vb" .. , V European demand : for our Tellow New towns has been growing at an enor mous pace the past few years, while American markets of the eastern coast re well able to take care of what npltsenbergs we produce at price that make producers of other states gasp for breath such values are almost unbe lievable to them. ... Oregon Is going to produce one of its best crops of apples this season 4he best In quality and on of the best in slse. The orchards at Hood River are In phme condition and in the Rogue River country the trees present a good 'appearance. . . The people are getting Into the habit of demanding the best apples and each apple-growing- section of the country 1 trying Its utmost to produce the better class fruit. , v According to the Watsonvllle, CaL, Pajaronlan, the packers of that place nave been quietly buying the 1808 crop of the best apples of -th valley. ; AK ready many sales of good orchards have been reported ar.d at figures equally as rood, if not better than those received est year at this season. Other sales of well known orchards are reported "in the air" Just at, present owing to slight differences in th price wanted and that offered. ' ' - ' i "The activity of , the buyers In the "faco of the big slump that took place In the apple market of th country last fall and has continued until lately. Is most encouraging. It 1 reported that In many sections of th east the apple Drop will be somewhat short and this fact Kan been of advantage to the or ohardlsts of this section. . "Many contrary opinions are ex- ? tressed as to tne estimated apple yield n the Pajaro valey this year. Several packers say the crop will not be up to Jearller estimates In yield, although the loualtty of tho fruit promises to be first 'class. Other fruit men and orchardlsts say that on an average (ttie vaiieya crop win ue u imso "" many of the orchards at least half the young fruit on the trees at present will nave to be thinned out Th Pajaronlan knows this fact to be true In relation to I. H. Tuttle's 6 5 -acre apple orchard on Lake avenue. - A-..drlv through that place on Wednesday clearly snows tnat at. least on half the- fruit will have to be thinned from the trees and we are informed the same condition prevails in several other large orchards. "A conservative prediction of this year s appi crop will do i.ouw carioaas. : POTATOES RULE HIGHER, Season About to Close Shows Un usual Price Both High and Low. , Th potato market 1 now touching one of the highest prices of the pres ent season, within a-few weeks at the most, the present season will end and the new crop will take entire posses sion nf the market During the early part of -the past season me grower. oi potatoes mn wun great aiaappwimracm owing to th low prices but this was an unusual season and scarcely any grower came out with th profits on th wrong side of the ledger. There was to be -sure but a small profit for -most ? reducers but the crop was. so heavy hat It ia small wonder that still lower values did not rule. Perhaps it was due to th careful se lection snd grading of their potatoes by th farmers and th seeking of new markets by the dealers that led to the upward tendency after It looked as if at least half of the crop was doomed to rnt nwinv to the lack of demand. Dur- Colorado, nortnern ana sautnern Cali fornia, Arizona, Texas, Missouri, Kan sas and Loulsana in an effort to unload. The careful aradlns of the stock by growers caused , repeat -orders to com from places wner in oniy vregon po tatoes seen were the sample cars .sent this season. -H'1 During the last few weeks of the sea son there will very likely b much mix ing of values. The general opinion of th trad Is that eld stock will safely cltan up before th new ones are ready and prices will rule around present fig ures. Then again there is the chance that midway between seasons, . just about when th old season is ready to die and the new one has not received a fair start, there wUl b a scarcity of supplies and prices may touch a new record for th year, This latter condition la too vacuo to peculate upon. -- ... ( ' . WOOt SALES ARE BETTER. Price a Fraction Hifrher ot Much ' More Hope for Another Rise- f 'Wool sales iii Oresron th past week as well as those in Idaho have been at somewhat more satisfactory prices. To the general observer It looks at this time as if the easterners were In al together too much of a hurry to depress th price of raw materials and still hold up the figures on th manufactured product to within a few fractions of th value of a year ago. s ; 7 Ther- seems Uttl doubt ' just now that th wool market has struck bot tom good' and hard and' has bounced up a fraction. While ther seems little hope of any material advance in values the outlook on the whole is much more hopeful than previously. Buyers ar not, holding baekthelr offers as they did at the first of the season for all now realise that, they are a little too bearish In their views. ( f -i-i -V. " ':,. LITTLE HOP BUSINESS, Trade h Very Slow 'Here But ' la Likewise in Other Sections. ''Ther was" but little business in th Oregon hop markets during the , past week.' Trade was more nominal than for some months. This wacv due to the nvnrtrvkd condition of the Euro Dean markets. There was no buying for for eign accounts . Some, prof ess to believe that this lack of trade was due to the increasing prohibition movement but the same .sort of dullness Is ruling In sections where prohibition I net s pronounced as among the bop grower .of Oregon-; " '.. - ' The crop ia growing better because of th warm weather but as tocondt tion thar Is scarcely any ohang among th various yards. - Borne 'ar better than- lnf years gon : by, Whll uiunri r ia poor snaps, ICN'OCKERS CLUB WORKS.

By an almost unanimous vote th committee appointed by th Board of Trad to examine into grain futur trading reported In favor of the project th past week and it Is quite likely that the measure will be adopted at the meeting to b held the coming week. . It Is being argued by some of the opposing dealers that the trading of futures would result in gambling and reckless speculation. This, however, is foreign to the board of trade principle as the exchange la organised simply to further trading between the various Interests. Tho dealing In futures on the Port land exchange could scarcely com un der the head of gambling any more than other exchanges of the country and all legal testa have declared them to be merely business transactions. 14c per lb; shoulders, llo par lb; pickled tongues, 70c each.

Th limb in th Illustration contains 63 partly developed soft-shell almonds, is 8 years old and is four Inches in di ameter. It is growing at Ooodno hills, near The Dalles. There are eight acres' of these trees. The branch was brought to Portland by Thomas M. Rogers of 609 Montgomery street. Option trading would perhaps b more help and benefit to the producer than it would to the buyer, but the lat ter would be helped considerably. It would allow him to buy wheat on th exchange and sell either wheat or flour for delivery in any month he chooses. It would enable the grower to sell In advance, If he so cnooses, th amount of wheat he believes he can easily grow. If th price for delivery a certain month after harvest pleases htm, he could sell. As matters stand at present there are all sorts of prices for wheat and In consequence much complaint on th part of producers who say their neigh bor received from lo to 2o a bushel mora than they did. i with a regularly estaoiisnea option session the price of cash wheat would ba easily regulated by supply and de mand Instead of th whims of buyers. Weekly Report of Wheat Crop Warm weather has set in for tho sea son throughout tho Pacific northwest wheat belts. The grain la heading out well In the Walla Walla country, also in most other sections. It Is now be lieved that sufficient moisture ia stored in th ground to tide th p:ant ovr un til harvest, but mor rains ar likely before that event. There is talk of red rust in a few scattered sections-, but little damage Is spoken of thus far.. -Woodland, Cal., advlcea of June I say the barley harvest ia now In full swing, and a half crop ia a conservative estimate. A number of experienced farmers ar of th opinion that It will ba more. Of cours. ther ar a num ber of fields where th moisture had disappeared from th surface of th soil before th ssed was sown, where the yield will be so small that ther will be no profit in harvesting it One farmer in western Tolo county, Cal., who began harvesting last Sat urday, has 480 acres that will yield less than 22 sacks to the aora. He has $20 acres that will yield not mor than 12 sacks to th acre, but even that is con sidered mora than half a orop. He has 820 acres of wheat which will not yield mor than ten sacka. but 25 bushels to th acre la not a bad crop for a seaaon like this. v - , While thr ar soma fllds where th California, barley - yield will be as high as 25 aacks to the acre, and others will turn off ten sacks, th aver age will probably b from 12 to 1$ sacks.

This has been a rather unlucky week for th livestock industry of th Paclflo northwest. It has been doubly discouraging because of the tactics of the killers and packers in opposing th local raisers and doing all In their power to help tb ones from other states. ' For th week this applies mora to th cattl market than to the others, because it was in cattle that killers dealt th Industry its hardest blow. Without aa much as sending out to secure information whether there was sufficient cattl to fill the needs of th trad, th killers suddenly jumped down Into California and began buying all the cattl of that state they could And, paying: therefor very high prices. When their requirements for some time were ' filled th buyers stopped their purchases and cam back to the north west.. Then they began to send for their purchased stock. In the meantime shipments from lo cal pointa began to arrive at the stock yards, but the packers began to com- f laln and said they had no place to put hem. They had overbought themselves in another state and were quite willing to see th raisers of this section go out of business. During th past week they cut the prlc of cattl 60o and even at the lower rang killers do not car to support their bom growera Hay Oat pooled Taamaelv. In this sort of gam it always takes two to do th right thing, so th cattl raisers ar going to retaliate. They will hold back as much cattl as pos sible from th local market and will ship It east,- where cattl ar not plen tiful and there seems to them a possi bility of securing something for their labor. By and by, wnen cattl oecome scare again in th Paclflo northwest the packers will again cry for mor people to go into the cattl business. This is their usual cry whenever they get pinched, but to pinch th other fel low 1 mere pastime , to them. Samp na mils Frio Sown. Killers were scarcely "to blame for the loss In th sheep price th past week. Receipts were increased so muoh that th markst Is showing an over supply, and ther waa nothing els for th market to do but to drop. Two de clines of 25o each were shown In sheep during the week. Hogs were lust about steady during th past week for best grades, but ther was weakness in China fata and the prlc in that line was down 25o, Re ceipts of hogs for tb week wr 899 head, compared with 207 head a week ago, 769 a year ago, 679 two years ago and 241 head for this sam week three years ago.

Rock Island waa among th moat not able examples. . At the end of the day th quotation for the first preferred of that stock showed a loss of 1 points. London was again a heavy seller, due it ia said, to disappointment in Europe generally, over the result of the Union Pacific bond sale and to the fat of tha Erie. ; , ? . - Execution of the foreign selling or der was accompanied by aggressiv action by brokers acting for operators hera committed to th bear side. That Sent prices to a level at which stop loss orders, left by traders who had zona out of town for tha week's end, wera encountered. The downward movement. however, was ended abruptly. In th last half hour th ton bad become firm and almost all the losses , had been recovered. "., a In th next two months the stock market will pay particular attention to tha harvests. If th crops are any where near as bountiful as present in dications lead experts to believe they will be, prices ar - bound to advance. So far as th present moment is con cerned many brokers say that th re cent upward movement has discounted developments of th near future. They believe it will be well for the specu lator or Investor to rest until business has more nearly eaught up with quo tations of tha activ issues. Persons closa to tha Harrtman inter sta today declared that a plan for tha reorganisation of tha Erie was being contemplated.

Tha . nomination conventions . are at hand and cautious people ar waiting to sea what th olatforma will aav In regard to tha rreat bust of th day. In all thia. Wall afreet baa seen enough reason why it. should go very slow for th time being.
