ELIMINATE SMALL APPLE FROMBEST GRADEINNORTHWEST Extra Fancy Apple Must Be Protected by the Growers Only Really Top Price Sturf Should Be Marketed in That Grade by the Northwest. Jnt what it (A extra fancy apple th Paelfio Northwest trad of the PeMfle Northwest i iinebl to air upon. Oregon, Idaho and Washington are all producer, of the beat trait In the world,, but there la a wide difference of opinion a to what real extra fancy apple to. Mori of the apple marked aa extra fancy by Pacific North went aet'tinna are by no trtch of imagination in that claw). Other may be placed la tbe be, class by special dispensation. 'Apple Uiat are marked extra fancy In on dis trict art In many Instances no better than tbe fancy trad of torn other district. The only different- between then at time 1 25c a box asked by tbe trade and shipping organization. That a eery small aiple la not an extra fancy Pl'l la known to everyone In the trade, and Mill practically every district will label their rlferings a suofi. Wholesaler mint tell fruit on rU merit and the marking: f quality on boxes laa become a Joke In many quarter. mall Apple to Lpt Place That the imall ail'lo la doomed in the Pacific Northwest trade is the conclusion that ha been generally leached by hlppina organisation. Praotically all of them hare appealed to their grower to cull out the imall fruit and allow the apples to grow to larger sir.e. Kir tier stock hai never been old at an extra fancy prv e no matter what condition tbe fruit waa In. The marking of uch stuck as bet grade doe not deoeir the public, but it causes the buyer to distrust all label marking. The future of the Pacific North went apale in dustry depends almost entirely upon the IVpear Biice of It fruit and this eliminates the small apple. The big apple from the three state ban a reputation for quality that Is world wide and . the small apple is always considered an inferior efforing. Market amall Fruit A Ion It ha been miggeated that tbe leading Pacific Northwest apple diMrict market all their small lied apple in distinct packings. Bulk packages would probably be the best because thry would eliminate much of the present expense of mar keting this fruit. The publio does not care a tap about bow the small apple are put up and will pay no more for them In selected packages titan In plain boxes. The extra cost is therefore born by the grower at this time. In soma quarters It has been uggeitd that only tba extra fancy apple be wrapped in paper. Thi would Instantly distinguish it from inferior quality, proridlng adtantage was not taken of this fact by some growers who would place the Inferior stuck in the better packages as a blind.

Boring vegetable ere making their ap pearance from some ef the earlier Paclflo Northwest points. Easier Prices in Coarse Grain List ! Are Now Shown Values Depressed In the East This Quickly Arfects North west Trade and Kesiet and lower grain price were general during the week at practically all American centers, : Oats values slid to a lower point with much weakness in the. east. On th Port' land Merchant' Exchange the trade followed the lead of the eastern declines. While barley was unquoted on the Portland exchange during the week, the feeling in the trade was toward a lower price range. Cali fornia was offering barley rather freely and stocks there seem to be adequate to take care of immediate wants of the coast trade. This therefore left Northwest operator independent of tbelr horn supplies. There is mora barley left in 1 the Pacific Northwest unsold at this tu than bad been generally expected. These stocks were being held for more than the market has afforded. The higher that barley prices went, the higher prices the holder tasked. They have been all through the season getting from 81 to 85 a ton above what dealers could pay. Now that the trade can get its wants elsewhere it appears to be taking some revenge on these holders. : Oat and barley flour is being affected by the lower coarse grain prices and further declines in prices In addition to those forced during the week are expected. Very liberal receipts of hay were locally but there was a good demand tames and stock did not accumulate, iu general held about unchanged. shown at all Prices . v. vranoiifi, recently appointea cnairm of the milling division of the food administ J.

Mass., April 20. Sensational fea tures have not been lacking in the local wool situation of late. Yet most of tbe trade got a genuine surprise when Frank B. Windier, in charge of the Australian auctions, announced the indefinite postponement of the aales schedule for April 17 and 18. Many mill buyers were in Boston oa the first three days of this week. They and the dealera were showing much interest in the of fering' far the two sale. These must wait until the policy of the government regarding the offrr of April 5 ha been indicated. This announcement is expected the first oflhe week. Trading here and in the west is entirely. lacking as far a Boston dealer are concerned. Some houtes feel as thoueh a sneelal rTTrrT- ship nad been inflicted by the resolution cutting them off from buying in tbe west. Srjecial point ia given to this matter by the fact that 1'biladelphi has not agreed to follow the lead of Boston and stop all buying or selling of both foreign and domestic wool. Leadine dealers in New? York, Chicago, St. Loui and-San Fran cisco have announced their adhesion to the Bos ton plan, it remain for Philadelphia alone to hold back from wholehearted and loyal co operation with th government in this matter. icrcelpts lor the week were: Ikanmtir- 2,828,780 pounds: foreign, 364.877 pounds.

"fO XTOHMISSIOX CHARGED WOOL TRADE WANTS TO KNOW FLEECE Market Would Be Able to Resume ia Old Channel If Government Would Tells How Mueh and What Quality Stock It Needs for Requirements Thai trade has been entirely demoralised and that some Interest will suffer as a result of th government's action in tying up all American fleece, ia th opinion expressed by some. Portland ia on et th leading wool warehvus marketing center of th country and ia eery anxious to aid th government in its work of securing sufficient stock of fleece to cloth th armed forces. . Much good would be dona and let injury worked among th general trade if the govern ment department would tell what they want and how mueh of it they propose to take. It would also be lllttBslnaUna If expression could be given whea thee atock would be required and what the price would be. At thl time there are many grower holding wool at Paeifie Northwest point who are anxious to aid the government, but are unable to do so because it cannot be ascertained whether any, er if all of these supplies will b taken over by th author! tie. The trade would b able to continue la Ha normal channel if this could be dona. It I im possible at this time to ship wool from tha Pa eifln Northwest to manufactarers unless it can he shewn that the Intended supplies are for he us of manufacturers and for government order. Thla haa, p bleed an effective brake upon prac tically all operation. . That Portland should ha tha distributing and ambling center for wool from this section, is agreed. Upward oL- 60.000,000 pemad of wool are annually produced ia the territory tributary to Portland, which will come to thi city at lea expense thaa to other citia of the coast, pro viding tha government want these (uppllea brought her for reshipment. Foreign Weal Market Firmer Much (trength ia shown in th wool trad at all foreign centers with price well maintained at all point, and in some Instances advance are shown. South American wool Is is in th strongest position known. A mall advice from Bradford. England, says: Wba th wool department at tha beginning of thla month increased the price of tope fol civilian purposes it was expressly stated that the schedule of issue prices for wool would remai. unaltered. It ia now announced that thla state' meht refers only to wools tor the civilian trade, and that wher pinnn require wools of a par ticular character for their own combing for civ ilian purposes, the issue prices will necessarily be proportionate to tbe revised issue prices for tops, having regard to the special character of the wool. No one can grumble at being charged more for wool of a higher quality than the average of that of which tops are now being made, but grumbling will certainly be Justified if for these average aorta the Intention is to charge more, for the reason given for increasing the price of tops was that they have not to be made of inferior wool, which Involves a higher conversion ecet. Any increase of conversion cost arising from the use of Interior raw material must affect th pinner who doea hi own combing aa much as it atfecta tbe department; consequently it will go bard with the spinner, if he has to pay a higher price for Inferior wool and to bear the loss represented by increased conversion cost aa welL The procedure of the department in thla matter will be watched with interest. WOOL SHORTAGE IS ACUTE SATS RECOGNIZED AUTHORITY This is what th Dry Goods Economist, a recognized authority in its field, has to aay as to the condition in textile and allied lines: '"The sudden stoppage of trading In wool in the Boston, Philadelphia and New Tork market and th prospect that the production of wool fabrics of all grades for commercial purposes will be halted until August or later, have formed the principal topic of discussion in dry goods circle thla week. "Stock taking is the order of the day. It la not, however, the ordinary annual or semi-annual event, but rather an effort to ascertain the ex tent to which the needs of dry good and de partment stores for wool fabric and for garments made thereof can be met. That prices will undergo an upward revision seem assured. The demand for cotton and silk dress fabrics will be increased in proportion as tbe shortage of woolen fabric develop. To what extent cot ton dress goods can take the place of woolen and worsted fabric ia likely to be demonstrated next winter if the supply of raw cotton proves equal to the demand. Prices of cotton goods will probably be stiffened aa a consequence of th increased call now looked for. Spot cotton waa quoted on Wednesday at 35 cente per pound, a decline of 1 cent from the high price reached last week." First Gains Are Lost Later on the Chicago Market Chicago, April 20.
