Salem is today the one bright spot on tho map of the world. Buyers, accord ing to report, are willing to pay Salem dealers from 1 to 2c a pound more for supplies than they offer Portland deal ers for the Mine quality, a most un usual situation and one scarcely be lievable. Kola Nets Is reported tho Salem buyer who has been able td get these high priced orders put of nil unwilling mar ket while, buyers are not willing to even look $ other dealers. locally there has been a fair amount of business reported In the hop market. No sales are reported for the account of Portland dealers above 23c a pound but Kola Nela of Salem Is reported to hflve purchased a handful at 25c. Joe Harris of Salem, who is operating with l,uchiiiuml, is reported the purchaser of 153 lmU of the Otto Hansen lot at 24e and N6 bnles from another grower at a similar price. Harrv Ij, Hart Hop company of this city purchased through Kalph Williams 100 bales at Dallas at 23c and made the purchase of the Beermart lot of 142 bales at Silverton at 21c. Clrlbble of Kurora purchased 178 bales of the IJunluven lot at Brooks at 22c. Some business Is reported in western Washington at 23c, but little of It can be fully confirmed. Cable advices from Kngland do not bear out the bullish talk heard at Salem, but it is quite possible that the reports arc true, although the trade here Is at u loss to understand conditions when they are unable to land any of these high priced orders.

Notwithstanding the fact that the Ben Davis has little favor with the American apple buying public, it Is re ceived with favor by those sections that are looking for a bright red fruit that lias the most extreme Keeping quality. "While we sold some Ben Davis ap ples early In tin season at advantageou prices," frays W. F. Qwln. general man ager of the Northwestern Fruit Kx change, "we later decided to hold for more money. At the start of the sea son we sold 10,000 boxes of Rogue River stock, orchard run at $1.10 and sold all that the Cashmere people had to offer at $1.26 for their best grade. "Now we have decided to give our friends in Kurope a chance at some of these apples and we feel that we will be amply repaid In dollars and cents for this, The shipments are now en route to Kurope. , "The Ben Davis apple Is a very popu lar one in places remote from easy transportation. That Is the reason why China annually takes such a liberal sup ply of this variety. It is one of the best bakinK apples grown and is quits popular In many places for that reason. "This season was practically a failure for tho Ben Davis crop everywhere. The apple growing sections of the middle west that produce heavily of this va riety as a usual rule, had little to offer this year. On this account values climbed higher than usual and the de mand was quite brisk." At this time tho Yellow Newtown Is the real big seller in the apple trade. Ry far orlds It is In biggest demand.
