While It la true that ao shipments sre being; made from here to tbe south, a break in that market might force heavier supplies of esstern stuff on tbe north west trade and thereby cause weakness. While prices for potatoes are higher here, there is a very noticeable decreaae in tbe movement, ' Wholesalers claim that since tbe laat advance in tbe price tbey have not sold more than a third of tbe potatoes that were moved previously anil in a like period. This is tken to Indicate that tbe consuming pub lic ia peeling potatoes much mors carefully aud eliminating waste. Stock Market Has New Records for The Specialties New York. Apfil : 2. (I. N. S.)

The output of apples will not be as heavy as expected, being now estimated around 12.000 car compared with peril spa 16,. OOO cars a year ago, although the Northwestern Fruit Exchange places tbe Istter estimate at 14,000 cars. s The pear crop la likely, to prove somewhat heavier than a year ago barring accidents and too liberal dropping 'later in tbe season. ' The prune crop from present Indications Is likely to be much more liberal than a year ago, when an extremely short crop throughout tbe Pacific northwest was tbe rule. i Pescbes promise a good aversge crop from present indications. Some districta are likely to produce a material Increase over a year ago, while in other sections the promise ia Brightly below 1914." Strawberry prospecte sre . mixed. Locally it is. stated that tbe pro? was hurt by the recent frosts, but st other points the promise Is still very good. This with the Increased sres in strawberries this season will, likely force s greater total. Blackberries are blooming heavier than dar ing recent seasons with the outlook fully aa good aa the-big crop of 1914. Loganberries with a liberal increased ares in bearing will in all probability abow a fair increase over the big s bowing of laat year. Cherries are at nresenf ahowlne- the best out look for many years. This is especially true'of Willamette valley points, which bsve not bid a good cherry crop for severs 1 sea sons, due to climatic ' couditiona either at blooming time or previoua to gathering. That the northwestern apple crop this yesr will be short of the totsl of the 1914 output it the conclusion reached by the Northwestern Fruit Exchange. Reports to the organisation from various districts stste that tbe bloom on the old treea is much less than laat year, but that treea coming into bearing will have considerable counteracting effect. The Vaklma district waa the heaviest con tributor to Northweatern tonnage in 1914, with nearly 600O carloads, but the consensus of opinion now is thst It will ship only 00 per cent of that tonnage thla year. - Many of the old trees will carry but 25 to 40 per cent of their laat load if the bloom is a true indlcstor. Even with new .orchards coming into bearing it is not safe to estimate above 40IK) carloads for 1915. Wenatchee shipped 5570 cars of apples dur ing the season just closed. Its old trees Fhc.w disposition to bear heavily but not s-. -much so as st laklma. Many new or chards will bear their first substantial crop, eaneclallv in the 'section to the north, called the up-river country, where It is estimsted that 4hi cars win De rolled as compsrea wnn 150 last season. Jonathans sre short at both Wenstchee snd Tukima, although the ssme trees bore a light crop last yesr. Wlnesapa will be beary again. Tbe aame atorv comes from Hood River. Its shipments for 1914 were close to 120 cars, snd It will not have sny more in 1W15. Spokane reports a shortage aud estimates less than 400 ears. Rogue river valley of southern Oregon bsd s very lignt crop in 114 on account oi aroutn, and it Is now feared that there will be another shortage of water and crop. Tbe present normal prospect is for 12O0 cars, con. sisting of- 700 of pears and 500 of apples. However, unlets 'weather conrtltiona are fa vorable, , this estimate will rail ahort ot real izatlon. There are still many things that can hap pen to cut down the crop, but -very litUe to increase tbe above estimates. Hundreds of growers in some . districts sre fighting;, frosts nightly, although this danger ia now nearly past. In some sections the battle With blight Ib aerlnoa and th issne la nrohlematle. There will be more or . lees June drop. Wind and hall storms may come to any or all districts durine tbe summer. Several of the leaa Important districts will tare Increased tonnage, out this la more loan offset by tbe shortage in otner sections.

Feara are expressed by the local trade re garding the deliveries of Jute bags from India this season in time for the grain harvest. While some of tbe ships are bow en route with bags for the Pacific coast, tbe trade Is still very dubious regarding delivery aa many accidents have befallen cargoes on the sea son since the war started. Naturally this bss forced, great strength In tbe- grain bag market here and leading Im porters are today asking 7c for No, 1 Cal cnttas for early delivery to growers. With a very big crop of wheat promised in the Pacific northwest this season and with California prospects the best in many years, Indies tiooa point to greater need of Calcutta bags this season than ever bfeore. althoua-h engagements are already said to be quite neavy. . Wheat market still reflects the renewed in quiries for supplies from the central west. New York and the Atlantic seaboard are also ssking tor supplies. Tbe fact that 'the ship per here controls oractlcslly all tbe steamer room from this port to the Atlantic during tbe next two months., has caused tbe trade to go alow, in selling to the Atlantic, although mid dle west business continues to be accepted. , FLOUR Selling trlce: Patent. $8.80: Wll-i. lamette valley.- $6.80; local straight, $6.30; bakers', $6.80; export, $5.50(35.75.
