The advance In the English bank rate to 6 per cent has served aa a reminder or the fact -that new capital require ments are likely to he mads shortly on a lat a scale, and that monetary condi tions on the other aide of thsater are not as favorable as surface indica tions would seem to indicate. - - .The Balkan situation still .appears to be surrounded with difficulties, and the recent political disturbances in that quarter have done much toward upset ting the equilibrium of continental mar kets, and perhaps have been largely re-, sponsible for, the determined efforts on tne part of European institutions to strengthen their gold reservea- s, ' So faf, the October settlements abroad have not been accompanied , by. severs strain, though Egypt and India are making heavy demands for -the yellow metal, in fact during hapast week the Bank of England has supplied about 8,000,000 pounds In those directions, and then, too, , the Reichebank has been se curing the major portion of the new gold arrivals In London, bidding in some cases, somewhat' hjgher han the mint pays for toe same.. - Railroad . earnings are beginning to reveal substantial decrease, particularly in instances of larger systems, and while a tendency , pf that eort Is not uncommon' during the months of Au gust and September, auch being In the nature of- preparations for crop move- fients, still the sam served to aooen uate the fact that some sort of an ad justment in th nature of higher freight r.tes will be essential to the future progress ana prosperity ox our railroads,- and in that connection a renewal of talk is heard relative to the probable action of the interstate commerce com mission with regard to the application which has already Been made oy tne eastern , lines for Increases averaging about S per cent 1 " , "' ' - iff) Resorts from the interior denote that a satisfactory volume of trade Is being handled, but collections are slow. The assistance rendered by the treasury de partment will probably tend to relieve the strain which Is usually witnessed in j the fall when the crop movement is at its height.

Stackland, Who Has Handled Product All Oyer the . Country; Cannery la Needad. - 1 By Karl J. Stackland. . . 1 Cove, Or.. Octv 4. In the La Grande Observer i for October 21, appears a lengthy and Interesting article on the cherry crop and cherry growing propo- sition, 01 mora tnan usual interest, as the writer, John .A. Hadaller, evinces a great deal of Information an thought I on the subject and deserves attention by the community so vitally Interested j in tins liiuuairy. inure e.rv, uuwcrnr, certain statements that.aeem mislead ing and where ' faults Vare found and placed where they do not exactly be long,, and in . ordeV to help place .the matter more correctly and fuller be fore the Interested grower and buyer, I wish to add a few facts and reflections. ; The district of Cove having produced nearly 1,800,000 pounds, or about 850 tons of marketed cherries the last sea son, of which the Oregon Packing com pany received about 860 tons, bought and picked for canning and Maraschino purposes, and besides shipped out in the fresh state to eaatern markets the equal of 88 minimum cars, is therefore more vitally interested In the future of the cherry than most any single locality .in the whole Pacifio Northwest. also for tha rcrninn that mot half of the oresent cherry trees-are in bearing and that, even without any special boom or ex citement In planting, the increase, an nually, amounts to lb to go per cent vt the former-acreage,'."--'1'-:''-':--!;-'-- v--v In the consideration of the cherry as a safe, fruit to trow in large quantities, for any and all purposes, Mr. Hadaller has j shown a number of possibilities that must be reckoned with, particularly as to Its keeping and shipping quality. It is certain that, unless It will stand up long enough to reach a profitable mar ket, if would be folly to raise it, and the main sjuestlon hlnpes on whether we can do so or not. There are many factors that enter in the keeping qual ity of any fruit, in the first place the soil must . havs sufficient' soluble pot ash, and the season of growth must be fairly dry. The grower controlaall these factors except the weather, and. this Is somewhat within thj control of the prospective grower if he chooses a lo cality -with a known, suitable climate, barring exceptional seasons.. But, aa the past season proved that we had a little too wet growing weather, and on top of this- the growers were permitted, -by the buyers, to butcher the fruit, a large per cent of the cherries i delivered to the Oregon Packing company were so rough ly picked and handled that they would not stand up 24 hours, and the - other f :rowers who had sold to shippers found t difficult to get satisfactory picking and aome of them even got careless, by bad example, and hauled their cherries on "dead-axe-wagone,M . often unfit for a local cannery to handle, and hers Is where most of the trouble lies. It was the fault of -the Oregon Packing com pany rather than the. grower, and the former had a right to refuse- as unmer chantable all fruit not nrODerly an carefully 'picked and handled,' and the lnxltv on their oart and other receivers was taken advantage of by many grow 'ers, who, in the end may have to pay the 'heaviest for the losses they now occasioned others. The writer has handled and shipped cherries all over the' United States from this place, for the past 20 years, and the last season - I handled 80 carloads, mostly express cars, and found the car rying condition the last season, consid erably below - the average, but mostly to be accounted for by, the rough pick ing and handling of the fruit, and only partly to the more than usual wet grow ing seasonj.-'-''::t!' M vii-J;K-i.:i:' ji MlUon,KWslla--AWsllfc'liSwlsto''.and also The Dalles districts were much mors affected by the season ' than we were in this Valley, 'and on the . whole we had a very successful season. There eve aome remedies open both to the Oregon Packing company . and ' the growers. In the first place, -one Solu tion of getting biir Cherries j Into the barrels and cans In good condition would be to exact from the grower, careful ploklng 'and handling and to- have the processing plant . near i the supply, so also the cannery. With 850, tons of cher ries at Cove.v the place . to barrel -and can them should be here, at least, this would insure good condition and no loss from shipments. And while the can ning; company who operated Jiere the past ' season la desirable, the grower might sell his white cherries direct to the large eastern firms dealing in Mar aschino products, as these people are willing to aeai ;witn any rssponsioie parties who Can contract the goods they want, and. as there la only a small per cent produced in the United States of tho white cherries i used for this pur pose, by far the larger part oelnft im ported from Portugal.

Wool buying has shifted, during the week from for eign to domestlo grades, the total sales figuring 'about - 4,000.000 ; pounds.

Borne of tho better known sections are changing - their- grades and names . to fit conditions- as they ,. find tfiem in yarious markets. It was told here not a very long time ago by a leading Hood River Interest that all that section In tended .to shin to Portland was what It could not sell in any other market in the country. '. In other word it is an very day joke among the growers there iiib.1 mo oiass ox appies tnat comes to Portland Is something which would not even come under the 'C" grade in some of the larger- markets. - In fact, the poorer the' apple, the quicker growers are to put it in the "Portland" grade. -Just what la the reaaon for this dis crimination against Portland Is some thing that has not been explained. Dealers- heie complain bitterly over --the treatment 'that la accorded them. - Ths result has been that a very large per cent of the, apple bualnesa of Portland goes elsewhere where it formerly went to Hood River. Yakima, Wenatchee and Casmero sell a much larger volume of apples' here than Hood Rivet because of the alleged discrimination o the Hood, River: Interests against this mar ket.' - . - i ... i . -V J - Wholesalers ars especially wrought up over tli e reported determination of the Hood River Interests to force' their cull stuff on thla market no matter whethert the .trade wants to handle it or not: It la reported that if the whole salers do -not 1 purchase the stock In sufficient' quantity, the Hood River In terests will go direct to tho retail trade, after filling; the former up. Whether this is true, cannot be -stated at the moment.-" r - - Such a course would prove far mors disastrous to the Hood River shippers than anticipated and would only help to further demoralise the market for apples- here; a demoralisation ' that Is brought about almost solely by the fact that Portland has been made, and is boing made the dumping ground for all of ths Inferior fruit- of thla territory. A Columbia river .section - which shipped inferior peaches to this market until it tired the- trade, has good rea son to remember 1913, After filling the wholesale trade with Inferior peaches, it began to sell direct -to the very, cus tomers that '.the 'Wholesalers had pur chased their supplies for. The. result was .that Front street, interests began to purchase their peaches at Yakima. and the trade here was soon flooded to the point where ths Columbia river interests did '-not secure , a sufficient Dries to pay the freight charge, therefore were compelled to aig-aown into t&eiv own pockets. ' " ; ADDlea thai, have cams to the 'Port land market from 'various i districts of tne racino nortnwest, nave seldom oeen of as good quality as the grade mark called lor. All the scabby and infected fruit from other sections- has been dumped here to such an extent that the Portland market Is ruined ; for most of the season. - - -- Portland wholesalers say they Intend to.all a halt. They want aa good fruit ss other markets are getting. If it cannot be obtained from the local sec tions, they will purchase elsewhere. Tha situation la a very serious one but it seems to he up to . the growers them selves to correct the evlla. DAVIDSON --DENIES I CHARGES Says That' Hood River Sells Trade ' the' Kind of Apples It Wants. , 'Writing from Hood River, H. P. Da vidson saya- that the Apple Growers' association there has no control what ever over -the quality of tho fruit the Portland wholesale . dealers supply to their trade. He adds: . ' - "We .auote them on allthe different 'grades and - cannot force them to buy tne graae tney ao not wisn. , we nave all of the grades here, front the extra fancy to the cooking graden. and we are always ready to fill orders for ths Portland trade in preference to any other oolnt. for any of the different grades. -and will certainly be glad ttf have the dealers taice on a gooa portion of the extra fancyerult if they can uss "When tho pressure of price is down ward all the time It Is bound' to have the same effect on the quality of the fruit' "It is our business to sell frutt and to sell ths kind the customers want."
