Bradstreets Reports That German

Effect in Industries but Has Af

New York, Dec. 16. (I. N. S.) Bradatreefs
says:
Germany's peace proposal thus fsr has not
exerted any particular effect upon either trade
or Industry, though It haa superinduced sharp
breaka In stock market, aa well aa In cereal
and floor prl-es and brought greater cautlou
among financial Interests.
Incidentally, a more conservative undertone
setma to be developing In otber directions as
regsrds future trsde. and naturally there la
nsldrrable dixcusalun as to readjustments
If negotiations looking to peace actually come
to pas, although at tbe moment It Is .doubtful
that a feaalhle basis for a speedy settlement
wiu readily be found. Nevertbeleea. the hlgn
Eltltudes to which commodity prlcea bav
risen dictate prudence In tbe Hcht of possi
ble developments. Hut whatever sentiment
may be In tbe making, actual trade trends of
tbe week, taken by and large, manifest noth
ing by activity, tenoered. however. In tbe
larger llnea by the fact that sessonsble quiet

It U noted that the funds of Christmas sav

North Yakima, Wash., Dec. 18. The
marketing of Yakima valley's winter
apple crop is seriously impaired by
the embargo laid Friday by the North
ern Pacific. That road refuses to
accept shipments of apples or other
perishable products under option No.
2 of the tariff. The only outlet left
for ahlppera over this Una 1 under
option No. 1, where the shipper shall
assume all risks as to overheating and
f reeling1. , . t
The embargo ia in affect for all
shipments east of Spokane, but allow
shippers to use Canadian line
through the Spokane gateway.
The O-W. R. A N. is acocptlng fruit
under the old regulations and there la
a rush to that line to get rpplea sold
in the east for the holiday trad into
the hands of th buyers. In - some
Instances the local shippers have had
to use the Northern Paelflo and ao
cept the regulations ot option No. ,
assuming all risks. v j,
Local representatives of tha com
pany say that the embargo Is only
temporary and due entirely to tha coid '
wave that haa come in the mountain
divisions. There Is enough fruit an
route to take all available space in
company round houses and th com
pany can give it no other protao
tlon and refuses to accept it front tha
shippers.
