Diseased Fruit a Menace Here Inspector Walker Says Practice or Selling Not to Be Tolerated. The cheese trade is rather mixed as to character. Report Indicate that Tillamook Is today not offering Its sup plies freely at the lower prices, but this is denied by those who are close In touch with the selling organization there. Considerable comment is heard here regarding the discrimination against Portland trade by the Coos Bay in terests. California has for some time been buying cheese from that section at lower prices than the makers of the Bay section were willing to sell Portland and even consignments were made to California. On the basis of the new prices named by Tlllkmook and Coos Bay recently the markets here are In line with those rul ing In the big nrpcbielng sections of the east.

Cohen According to a statement made by Fruit Inspector Walker of Multnomah county, most of the diseased fruit found by officials in this trade comes not from the commercial orchards, . but from the neighborhood trees that have liad prac tically nt care. That It Is a violation of the law for grocers or anyone else to sell Infected or diseased fruits in this state is the offi cial notice given offenders by the official. "The individual grower does not rea lize," says Inspector Walker, "that an average of perhaps 00 to 60 boxes of fruit is condemned on the Portland market each day. Of this a very small amount cornea from Multnomah county. This re port does not indicate that Multnomah county has a better quality of fruit. It is a noticeable fact that a large per cent of Infected apples found In grocery stores in the suburban districts comes from homes where few trees are kept and little or no care taken of them. Retail ers accept this fruit against their wishes in order to hold the trade of such people Commercial growers of fruit in this county have come to realize that it pays to sort their fruit before placing it upon the market. "In many cases Portland is being used as a dumping ground in order to realize some value for fruit which is unfit for eastern shipment. This practice must stop, otherwise losses will continue, as all fruit infected will be oiled where ever found."

Careful observers here now state that the revised .estimate of the apple crop of Hood River valley, which reduced the total from 2.000,000 boxes to 1,500,000 boxes, will prove to be inaccurate, and assert that the former estimate will prove to be correct. It is stated that many orchardists have been content to roughly ettimate their crop at sHghtly above that of laf.t year, whereas there is an increase of more than 50 per cent. Already there is a marked ahortage of pickers, and although large numbers are arriving dally, yet they are not in sufficient numbers to meet even the present demand. In about two weeks picking of the favorite varieties will be in full swing, and a very large number of pickers and packers will be required to handle the crop. About the only handicap the grower now lias to face is a serious shortage of boxes. Al though he is willing to pay the price, which in a few months has advanced from 13c to 26c, he cannot obtain a supply that will nearly meet hi requirement-!. On July 2 The Journal estimated the Hood River apply crop at approximately 2.000,000 boxes, the greatest known for that section. The estate is new generally accepted. Seattle Fruit, Srarket Seattle.

Everywhere throughout the country a dull tone la showing in the potato trade and prices In general are showing losses with supplier et leading distrib uting- points greater than present re quirements. Little or no disposition is shown among: traders to speculate, as all believe that prices will rule still lower within the immediate future. Marketing of potasnes is increasing in all sections. In the local market there is now an abundance, in fact a surplus of potatoes, and prices are off another 25c a cental gen erally. While oorasionsl offers as high as $2 per cental country points is shown, little busi ness is passing above $1.75 at the moment. while the selling price along the wholesale way for the day is no higher than $2.50, and a large per cent of the stock is being offered down to (2.25.

Christmas to Show Shortage In Candy Supply Christmas candles will probably be coBspieaovs bjr their absence tbls season. Word Is given eat by the trade that practically all the candy manufac turers are sold ont of their prospec tive manufacture of holiday randies and that It will be practically im possible to secure stock on additional orders. Two reasons arc assigned for the shortage of candles, aside from the nnnsnal demand. The shortage of sugar Is the big factor, bnt there Is also a shortage of labor.
