APPLE SHIPPING
OUT OF VALLEY
L. V. Wells of the firm of Young
& Wells, apple buyer, was In Sa
lem this morning from his new
homo in Portland, with the an
nouncement that arrangements
wero getting well under way for
their season's operations of anDle
shipping out of tho valley, and
with the added announcement that
Salem will bo one of their head
quarters again this fall on the ap
ple deal.
Aside from hero packing houses
also will bo established in Alpine,
Uorvauis, creswell and Newberg.
'We oxpect to ship the majority
of apples from tho Salem district
this year," stated Wells, "In all
probability this district will pro
duce about 10 or 12 cars. We have
been in touch with a majority of
tho growers in tho district and will
pay Cash for nil tho apples we buy,
the price depending on the quality
In tho various orchards.
Wo havo bought the entire
crop of apples in tho Alpine dis
trict and expect to handle from 15
to 20 cars out of there and at Cres
well have bought tho largest blocks
with the expectation of handling
20 cars from that point. We have
made no deals at Newberg yet but
expect to close a number of them
there In the next day or two as we
have 'been having negotiations' with
the largest growers In that sec
tion.
Tho biggest bulk of the apple
crop this year will be Spitzenbergs,
with the Jonathans next. New-
towns are lighter, with tho lightest
crop of that variety showing up
for some time. Homo Beauties
will produce a fair crop.
l-rult for export will be very
light this year, and this Is an un
fortunate situation as there Is a
heavy demand for export stuff.
The apples aro taking on too much
size to permit any amount for ex
port shipment, and apparently for
this reason, too, the domestic mar
ket will bo flooded. '
"While the Oregon crop Is llsht.
nevertheless there is a good crop
generally this year and thero la no
reason for growers to hold off for
bettor prices os th emarkct will
not warrant It, I have a letter
from my partner at Yakima stat
ing that growers thero will take al
most any kln.l of a cash price of
fered.
The fact of the matter Is that
cash buyers are not very thick
anywhere this year, and I am cer
tain I am the only cash buyer who
has showed up In the Willamette
valley.
"Supplies also will run a little
higher this year. Jinxes are cost
ing two cents more apiece and pap
er will be a little higher."
Wells stated he expected apple
packing hero to start about Sep
tember 20.

SALE OF DIAMONDS TO
AMERICANS FALLS OFF
London Diamonds ae large as
hazezlnuta in Bettings for men
have attracted much attention
hare lately where jewelry of this
kind le sold chiefly to Americana.
Englishmen, excepting in rare in-
fltances, never wear diamonds, es
pecially ne rings, and and on this
account they never are 6een in
the jewelry shops until spring
'ion the tourist season opens.
Dealers here say the Americans
are buying fewer diamonds than
formerly. This is attributed to
the fact that the stones are ap
proximately &s dear here as in the
United States now that the pound
s.erling is virtually at par, and
in addition purchasers are expect
ed to pay the 60 per cent duty
when arriving on the other side.
DOG TEAM HAULS LUMBER
five Malumute do Kg was used suc
cessfully last winter to haul lum
ber from a mill on Grant lake,
west of here, to the Alaska rail
road, two miles distant, for trans
portation to Seward and Anchor
ajre markets. The shipment of
15,000 feet was made from the
mill in loads averaging three
quarters of a ton.
Condition of the French and
YUKOlavia prune crops are told
In the following cables made pub
He by the United States depart
nient of commerce:
French prune crop: Consul Mem-
minfjer reports "French prune
crop not expected to exceed four
thousand short tons dried basis
compared with nine thousand last
year and twenty-five thousand In
,nineteen twenty-three. Crop two
weeks late, quality fair."
Yugoslavia prune crop: Trade
Commissioner Jtynes reports
"Prune estimate Yugoslavia un
changed. July weather conditions
not seriously unfavoralo. Market
tendency firm but few transactions
new crop although heavy demand
anticipated. October delivery per
fifty kilos quoted at twenty-two
shillings f. o. b. Klenak. Hamburg
stocks Yugoslavia prunes reported
negligible with quotations c. I. f.
Hamburg ranging twenty-seven
one-half to twenty-nine one-halt'
shillings per fifty kilos."
The foodstuffs division adds thai
both these statements are prob
ably based on trade information.
Another cable from Trade Com
missioner Hynes confirms the
above French prune estimates and
adds "Plums generally of fair
quality although considerable evi
dence worm infestation; nineteen
twenty-four carry-over Insignifi
cant and French stocks California,
Bosnian prunes reported light;
prices new French crop not yet
quoted In view negligible produc
tion and further fact current yields
