; Stocks Cleaning Up Nicely.
. Things are astir in (ha foreign apple
market with Jonathans " doing ' soma
fancy stunts-as a side attraction. ; The
cable today brought newa to the North
western Fruit Exchange, of this city
that, tha first car ot Oregon 'Jonathans
had been received in the German mar
ket with much favor. The price paid
means 81.55 a bos net here, Is a matter
of about 20o. more than this market ha
been quoting. . The shipment was sent
from-the Rogue River section and was
packed under the rules of that associa
tion. - i These call , for but 50 per cent
color while those of the Northwestern
FrUit 'Exchange call for 75- per Cent,
The apples ranged from 138s to 200s. '
A real flurry has struck;. the. market
for Jonathan apples and stocks ars
being cleaned up very, fasc ' Tha price
has been advanced . and buyers are
rather eagerly bidding f 1.50 a box to
day, hut shippers who nave tha beet
ideas' on the market are holding Snug
for f 1.60 and feel mighty sure that they
are going to get the extra dime.
The strength of the apple market
abroad Is .probably the saving grace of
the general situation at Pacific, north
west points Juat -now. While eastern
speculative Interests are-holding thetr
price Ideas high, because most of them
have purchased at extreme figures'
there lias been but little inclination of
late to load up with additional sup
plies except Of the better, grade. : - ' -The
latter Js Indicated oy the5 fact
that the east Is clamoring' for apples
that have distinctive brand names. The
Northwestern . Fruit Kxchanga some
time ' sgo sold - Its expected, output, of
"Skookum" ,to a New York firm at a
material advance over what others were
asking for similar quality. Now a fight
has developed for the finer fruit of the
northwest , and ' Boston has , coma for
ward with art urgent request that it be
f riven the privilege of purchasing at
east 26,,cara of this fruit. New York
got wind of Boston's Inquiry and right
away made a request that it be allowed
to take any additional cars of r. this
quality that tha local interest have to
offer. The fight therefore Is a distinct
recognition of the merits of the quality
of the fruit offered here. - .

crease instead of a decrease. .,,.,;',
Local millers are not keen after the
Montana wheat. Some haslieen brought
to The Dalles and to Spokane mills, but
tidewater intereata are seemingly op
posed to tqe importations. - According to
one miller , the wheat Is 'of different
grade . than that grown in the Pacific
northwest and the using of this grain
would therefore make a difference in
the quality of flour. This, therefore, is
opposed by millers for the reason that
they ars trying to secure a . uniform
quality each succeeding season.
- Markets abroad for wheat were ' gen
erally weaker, and lower again for the
day. Liverpool showed another big loas
In ths price Of futures, and there is
not the slightest improvement 'in the
cargo situation owing to the very lib
eral offering by Canada and Russia.
Tidewater Canadian - receipts are break
ing records, owing to the desire of grow
ers there to unload. ' . -
