Fully Three Quarters of This

r " Northwest Put In Icehouses
I. for Rise in Price.
With practically the greatest crop of
apples that the world has ever pro-
dueed and with the American output
; a bumper in every particular, an en
tirely new, situation confronts Pacific
northwest prowera.
Ideas of producers of this section
have been pitched in such a high key
for so many years that seemingly they
are unable to comprehend that the price
Is made by the aggregate production
and that with a big crop they should
not look for big values. .,
It is now practically a certainty that
apple market prices during the next few
years will be much revised from what
growers have , been accustomed to com
manding. - . . .; .:.. iMi .
For years apple men or the- Pacific
northwest have been receiving - almost
iabulou values for their- high-grade
fruit and whenever a lower value la of
fered, they kick up their heels and give
the opinion that someone is trying to
dO'"thm.'-r-r" .'" ---: :'
This much Is certain: Barring crop
- failure throughout the world low prices
for apples will rule during the next
few years. The production everywhere
is greatly Increased. New acreage haa
been set out In all portions of the
world and everywhere there Is a- ten
dency to take better care of the fruit
than during former years.
While the Pacittc northwest was tha
pioneer (n the art of producing better
iruit u nas no monopoly on me juo.
- While it is true that In a very limited
area a better aualitv aDole can be pro
duced than in any other portion of the
world, sua mere are so many sections
. that are now nroduclne- aood apples
that the trade in general is not willing
: to pay much or a premium ror tne out
put of any one district, no matter how
: fancy, -. ;' ' v ' . V
Oregon has the districts that produce
better apples than -other sections of the
' country, but In general the quality here
is probably but little different from that
grown in other places. This Is a plain
fact' and growers should meet it ac
cordingly. The entire Pacific northwest is now
-peeking lt-apple--in way-similar-to
that shown in the "better-known dis
tricts, therefore unless there is a very
wide difference in quality, little better
prices can, be expected for the local
fruit than are received by other sec-
r tlons. .
- ' It is all well enough to talk extreme
?uallty, but there Is an end to the ef
ect that such talk will have. In the
markets of the world buyers purchase
the best stock they can get for the
'least money; leaving but a small per
centage of the trade to buy apples from
high-priced districts.
It is a fact that three-quarters of
tha apples grown In Oregon and other
Pacific northwest points, are no better
than can be. and are. produced at vari
oua sections throughout - the- -worldJ
. Therefore In the bulk of the trade price
la the big question. . '. ..
.' Owing to the smallness of the apple
..crop at pointa east of the Rockies dur
ing former years, it was possible for
Pacific northwest growers to snip a
large percentage of their ordinary qual
ity to the east and to Europe and still
receive " favorable returns. Now with
' a big crop of thisigrade in other sections
and with a freight of about 60c a box
against the Pacific northwest fruit, llt-
-tte of this stock can be sent away from
home at a profit. In fact, apples grown
.in the-east and middle west states can
be sold at little more than it costs
Pacific, northwest growers for packing,
boxes and freight, and still receive quite
favorable returns for their product
- Perhaps one of the greatest menaces
that the apple trade is facing at the
present time- is the enormous supply
... that has been recently rushed into stor-
age. Fully three-quarters of the crop
of .tha Pacific northwest haa been stored
by growers in the hope of obtaining a
. . better market later In the season. Most
.. of this stock is not of very good keeping
quality, which is a serious blunder. By
selling at this time at the most favor
, able prices obtainable they would be in
a position to stimulate consnmption to
a considerable extent and thus get the
- bulk of the early crop out of the way
before the late keeping varieties are
really ready, to offer. By keeping the
former in storage: complete demorallza-
tlon of the late trade can only be ex
pected. ' Boston, Mass., Nov. 16. Continuation

Really Fresh Eggs Benefit by
Recent picking Up of Deal
ers in Storage Stock.
There was a firmer tone and higher
price for strictly fresh eggs In the
local market during tha week. Tha
price went to a higher point here this
week than ever before known at this
period of the year.
The advance was not due to arfy fur
ther decrease in the marketing ol fresh
essa u uib cuuuiy out to tne oetter sit
uation which came aa a result of the
recent arrests of retailers for substi
tuting coid storage eggs ror the fresh
product
As long as this condition existed
much harm was being done the poultry
and egg Industry of the Pacifio north
west Consumers were unwilling to
gay better prices for real fresh stock
ecause they were being led to believe
that the eggs they were buying were
the beet that could be purchased.
For strictly selected stook sales were
made as hlsrh as 45o a dozen in the
Front street trade during- the week.
Some did not obtain this price because
they did not candle as closely as those
that aaked the higher figure.

chief factor of interest during the week,
though admittedly , advices from . the
other side are still saggestlve of the
fact that, too much should Jiot b taken
for granted at this period in connection
with an early -adjustment of the aams.
Political discussion was centered ' on
the prospects of an extra seBsirfn of con
gress being called shortly after the In
auguration and for a period It seemed to
be conclusive that the subject of tariff
tinkering would have to be contended
with somewhat earlier than was at first
anticipated. However, -nothing definite
with regard to the foregoing has as yet
transpired, though it still appears to ba
the concensus of opinion tnat legisla
tive activity will command wide atten

. Money conditions have not altered to
a material extent, though repurchasing
on quit a large scale of American is
sues liquidated some time ago by Eu
rope, taken in connection with the heavy
exports of domestic agricultural .prod
ucts and manufactures, have don much
towards forcing foreign exchange . to
what under ordinary circumstances'
would be considered a profitable, gold
Importing point- In the latter connec
tion, it would seem that London, for a
period will deeply resent efforts to se
cuv for America any paction, of new
gOldSarrivals, at least until the tension
on the continental financial market
shows a disposition to subside.
The fact that the supreme court will
take a recess for a few weeks, obunled
with the fact that the elections ara
over, ha fostered the Idea that the
tribunal may next Monday make known
it -findings In soma of the important
case pow under consideration. As r
consequence the disposition on the part
of the stock market element of late has
been to trade; Judiciously in anticipation
of the foregoing. Theiv too. the find
ings of the arbitration board having in
charge tha wage controversy of the en

week closes, a feeling of hesitancy ap
pears to be "in evidence, though pessi
mism seemingly Is confined to the ele

A very heavy Increase In the market
ing of hogs at North Portland during . :
the week failed to oheck th bullish
feeling that-ha been.apparent la.tha J.
trade during recent week. - . . ,
Tops sold readily at 88 durina- tha
week, or Ho better than tha top offer
ings of th much smaller run of th pre
ceding six days. The local advance wag
due more to the very liberal buying by
Puget Sound interests than to any other
cause, but better prices east of tha
Rockies had some effect upon creating
thia additional demand, .
Generally speaking, - tha advanced
prices paid for hogs this : week war
vmewiuti ui surprise, even tnougna-
outsiders came in for .liberal supplies,
entered the produce trade durlns tha
week should have created adverse senti
ment in the market for live hours, but
it did not
There was much better quality anion gt
tha offerings in the hog division for
the week and this in itself was a very
good factor for the price, although this
improvement Was aeemingly counterbal
anced by the heavier offerings which ,
demoralized the dressed hog trade. War
It not for the fact that the outsiders
bought unusually heavy in the local
yards during tha week, there is little Y
doubt but that values would have trav-i
eled -downward Instead of showing a'
fairly sharp rise.
East of the Rockies an Improved do--
mand continued for hogs and higher
prices were the rule. Run-there con
tinue to show a sharp decrease as com
pared with the same, period a year ago.
North Portland hog price range:
Best heavy .$ 8.00
Best light . .. 7.95
Medium heavy 7.80557.80
Rough heavy 7.00 7.60
Feeders 6.60.7,00
Cattts Trad I Higher.
For selected cattle higher prices ruled
In the North Portland market during the
week. There was quite a liberal in
crease In th marketing for good atuf f.
Buyers were anxious bidders and values
were accordingly advanced.
Top steers sold tip to $7.25 la the
yards during the week and quite a few
sales were made at this Height. The
week's market reflected the changed
views of buyers. They are no longer
willing to pay nearly as good a price 7
for common to ordinary cattle as they -are
for stuff that has been properly fed
and quotations clearly show this.'
East of the Rockies there was little
change in the cattle, market situation.
As a rule there Is practically no change .
In prices for tops from the prices that 1
were in effect thera during the previous -week.

As had been forecast a better tone
ruled, in. the mutton market during th
week. While prices did not reach more
than a fraction better than during th
preceding week, this waa entirely the
fault of the lack of suitable offerings
to bring out a higher range. -
Decreased marketelng was shown in
the sheep trade during the week, el- "
though the totals were quite fair con
sidering the period of the year. Leading
buyers are generally of, the opinion
that they will be compelled to go else- "
where if they want top quality and ship- ,
mants from Montana will probably b
brought forward to fill this call.
