This expense in eludes the price of baskets and orates, for packing, freight charges, Icing of tbe car, commission, etc Each crate contains 10 pounds net of grapes, tbe crate having a gross weight of about 28 pounds. At the present condition of the New York markot the growers would therefore net from $35 to $70 per ton for their (bulk grapes. - : The most of the grapes brought to - the packing house are of excellent grade and need little culling, but the packera exorcise the greatest care and discard all imperfect or green bunches. The crates therefore present a boautlful and enticing appearance. Apple picking ia now coming on in earnest, and shipments are going forward dally. The Newtowns are especially One this season, and prac tically all aent out thus far are for the export trade. The apple market la good, and, satisfactory returns are expected on all apple shipments. 1 Some appls are being sold f. o. b. Grants Pass. H.'T. Hull reports hav ing sold bis Winesapa at $1 per box net. i The peach crop is nearly all har vested, a few of the lateat varieties being all that la now left.

George Fos ter, the smallest pitcher In baseball. this afternoon won single-handed to second game of the world's series from Philadelphia, 2 to 1. Picture, If you can, about as tens a moment as the grand old gam ever saw the ninth Inning, score tied 1 and I and two out and the winning run awaiting qa second base. Then, if your imagination still is re volving, put a pitcher who has chuck ed as brainy and clever a game as a world's series ever saw, at net That man was George Foster.

Moran . had hoped to cross the Red, Sox. board of strategy, pitched erratic ball. He was In hot water in the first Inning and was plainly nervous. He got away badly by walking Hooper. Scott died an easy death, and successive singles by Speaker and HobllUeL aided by an error by Burns, allowed the first marker of thergame to come across. With that one-run advan tage to (bolster him up, Foster pitch ed like a fiend.. For lour innings not a Phllly reached first base, five of them dying by strike-outs.
