- The'deniand for Oregon apples abroad
is- increasing, (London, Bremen, . Glas
gow and I4verpool are all after supplies
One of tha greatest sales of the season
was confirmed today for foreign ship
ment by the Northwestern Fruit 'lix
Change but the officials of the exchange
would not make public the exact details
at ttits time.
Red and Yellow nn1 are both In
demand abroad at tills time, sales being
shown far both BpHzenbergs and Yellow
ixewiowns t very firm price.
The atrenarth in th fnretarn demand
for apples is a strona contrast to tho
stuDoornness oi the American, situation.
There Is scarcely anything doing in the
American trade at this time: the market
at most places being, stagnant.
Practically no concessions in prices
are btlng niaUn by apple Interests at-this
ena, because they don t need to. i tia
foreign situation la good enough at the
moment to absorb all of the best offer
ings, therefore It would be foolhardy
for uhlppers to have their light dimmed
ty tne inactivity oi tne general Amer
lean trade.
The excellent business that Is now
ftassing In the foreign markets for Amer
can apples," say a W. F. Gwin, general
manager of the Northwestern Fruit Ex
change, "is to some extent the result of
i'ecirie (.'oast shippers having branch
offices abroad.' We are maintaining a
bin - office irr London and it has been
one of our best investments because di
rect representation has been found to be
far superior to doing business at a dis
tance.
"By keeping foreign headauarters at
London, the apple trade Is able to keep
in touch with the entire continental
trade and better values result. For In
stance we today sold through London a
carload of Newtowns at $1.90 f. o. b.
here and sales of Spitaenbergs were
made on the basis of $2.65 New Vark.
This means. $2.05 f. o. b, Rogue River,
the highest price of the season for sim
ilar goods."

YAKIiVIA HOP SALE AT
25 CENTS LB. PROVED "
TO BE A CLEAR FAKE
Actual Deal in the May Lot There
! Was Made Last Friday and the
Price Was 24c Instead of 23c as
Was Reported.'
WHEA
T SITUATION IS
RATHER QUIET IN THE
PAGIFI
NORTHWEST
Wliile Prices Are Holding Rather
Well There Is Less Business In
dlcated Complete Stagnation Is
Hhown for Coarse Grain.
It developed this afternoon that the
reported purchase or a big block of
hops in the Yakima section at 25o yea
terday was nothing but a fake. The lot
reported sold yesterday at 2So was in
reality made last Friday and the price
was i!4o instead. ,
The real market for hops at this time
Is really generally around 2323Vo a
pouno. mere is consiaeraDle talk or a
24o deal, but none of these reports can
be confirmed.
The market has shown aulta a fair
amount or activity during tne last 24
hours, but there is little general change
in the situation outside of the fact that
dealers are covering their November
aaies.
There is no chahae in the fnreio-n
situation and the demand from abroad
Is stagnant.
A New York mail advice of late date
says of the general situation in the hop
trade:
Bales
Receipts" for week 12,920
Receipts since. Beot 1 ta sag
Receipts same time last year.... 28,140
Exports to Europe for week 10,686
Exports from September 1...... 44,878
Imports for week ,. $74
Imports from September 1 1,086
Imports same time last year.... 2,943
Scarcely anythin dolnar In New York
state. Practically all of the hops, have
passed out of growers' hands, and such
lots as are owned by dealers are gener.
aly held against future needs. The few
reported sales were at 3842c. The
local situation has not changed much.
Heavy shipments reported to England
again this week, and It Is now expected
that fully 60,000 bales will have cleared
from this port before the close of this
month.
A fair trade is reported with brewers.
but thev are rather cautious buyers be
cause. of the fact that lower offers are
made o 4hem by Pacific Coast dealers.
The firmness and high prices quoted on
state hops are due to' the small quantity
of stock available. Pacifies are selling
from 30c downward according to qual
ity. English and German markets are
steady. '

There were no arrivals of cattle on
the local market over night, but fair
shipments were reported due this after
noon. The sale of a single load or
steers from Montana yesterday at $7.75
is taken by some interests to indicate
an improvement In the situation, but
the reveme la the case. Killers have
quite liberal stocks of cattle on hand,
and ub these were bought at rather low
prices they are able to purchase a sin
ale loud at a higher figure, and thus
create a higher market for their cheaper
priced stuff. With the exception of the

The above ruling by tha Interstate
Commerce Commission sustains a rate
made by the railway companies mak
ing a differential of $1 on the rate of
poles and piling and lumber between
Portland and Willamette Valley points
and California points.
February 12, 191, the California Pole
& Piling company, of San Franclsctf,.
and C. F. Walker, of Cottage Grove,
complained against the differential, and
the Interstate Commerce Commission
ruled that the rates on poles and piling
were excessive to the extent that they
exceeded the rates on lumber between
the same points. The railroad compa
nies Justified thir rates on the grounds
that water competition forced down the
lumber rates, but showed that poles and
piling could not be handled by com
petitors over water routes.
An appeal was taken by the railway
companies to the ruling of the commis
sion, emd a rehearing allowed, with the
above result.
