' The renort in The Journal vettentav that the government bureau of markets' had not yet discovered that an apple market exists in Ore gon and that stteh puces aa Hood Rivsr, Hosier, Southern Oregon and tha Willamette valley do not exist on the aonla market man. created intense interest in tbe Portland trade. Tbe fact that a Portland man. Robert Rinaer. is in charge of the bureau of ssarketa here and was unaware of the anole industry of this state, was considered verv serious. wnue Europe, Asm, Africa and tn otg apple consuming markets of the United State nave tor years Recognised Oregon as tbe premier pri mary apple section of the country, the gov ernment bureau still fsila to find any basineaa m tbi state a noted sections. That Yakima and other. Washington state sections generally hold their pncea lightly be low those of Hood River in order ta effect sales. is not known to the bureau of markets, so far as any of its reports show, but the facts are known to the big apple traders of the country apple Trad is suady While there is conmderable overripe, poor duality apples being offered here at low prices, trade in general continues .to reflect strength both at Portland and at Pacific Northwest pri mary center". Yakima la boosting its quota tions until they now are about the same as Hood Kiver baa been askinz. Eastern marketa are generally - steady with pncea practically unchanged. .
