Realizing Sales
Put Wheat Market
At Chicago Down
Chicago. )ec. Q. 1 1. N. S.I Wheat rbeied
lower thnn yesterday. Grains nicned weak
toiiav. There were some material declines in
the early trading. The buying was scattered.
Strength In Minneapolis had a tendency to
hold orices here to some extent. May natur
ally held up N'tter than December, but even
at tht quotations fluctuated more tlinn they
have for severl days. Some of the big denlcrs
said that lLiuidation nf l..n; wheit had als.nt
run Its course, and advised purchases of May
wheat m the reactions. t
Bulls say the flood of realizing has placed
the market In a tetter shane for another up
turn, with any in-rense In speculative or ev-1
port buying. Sentiment In corn, while nat
urally favoring the bull lde. was n:ore irreg
ular. Longs predict tnat corn receipts at
various markets ar expected to materialize
within the week. Reports from Iowa are to
the effect that corn brts commenced to move in
that state. Bears consider the market as
overbought, while the burls say the break has
plsi-ed it in position to advance.
Wheat - Docemlier owned at 11H, and sold
down to 114 st first. May ojioned at lliS.
and dropjied to 111., and later sold to yester
dsy's cbe of 1 1 0 7
IVm Deremlier oiiened st snd sold
to H7c. May wns firmer to an opening at 72c.
Oats were slmt steady to yesterday's close,

Washington Apples
Are Rejected and
Growers Bear Loss
Hood River. Or.. Dec. 9 Word comes from
Texas flint 1V7 csrs of Washington apples were
shipped Into that state this year and I'M
cars of this lot were rejected. The irrower
! must stand the los. whMi Is estimated to
bo about f.Vi.CsO Id this cae. The freight
must tie paid with real money snd the grow
ers nuiat make this up from the returns re
ef ived from their .ther (trades. It Is reported
that lndeis?ndent shlpis?rs have gone to some
of the, farms and repacked apple from the
crdes culled for the vinegar factory, ar.d
shipied Ihem.
Tew apples remain In .the hands of the Ap
ple ;rover association unsold. A numticr nf
the buyers, who have bought In large lots,
sre having their fruit lu the care of the as
delation for storage on account of the ex
cellent facilities here, and are having thlr
shipments made as their trade requires. The
fact that the association has rooni for over
.ysi.ism is. xes eif apple enables It to accom
modate the -buyers oy affording thein storage
at thi. end of the line. Mr. Sleg. sal-s
mrnager of the asseielntlon. Is highly pleased
with the prh-es secured this season for the
frlut crop of the valley. Mr. Slog said: ''This
hss been a hard year for Hood River snd a
bad year in many ways on sccnunt of the
stuff that has boon shipped out by small In
dependent shipiiers that has lieen fsr below
grr.de. snd in fact, to, .floor to lelong to an.
grade. When the trade sees fruit of Mils
kind on the market with s Hood River
lall on the box. It makes the buyers afraid
of the llikd River fnilt and the Innocent
must suffer for the guilty.
"I am glad to state that the association
ha insisted upon maintaining the grades is
trthtlshed. Growers have come to us st dif
ferent times when their fruit has leeu turned
down for repack tiecatise they did not measure
U. to the grades established l.y the association,
and have told us that lndes?ndent shlpispr
were packing nuch apples and shipping them,
and would like to have ns ilo so. How
ever, we have hewn straight to the line in
this matter. In fact, we do not feel that
we can afford to lower the Hood River
standard snd juggle with the growers money
by shipping fruit that will not pass Inspec
tion, le'eanse. If turned down, the grower
n ust pay the bill out of the returns received
foi his ssk1 fruit."
