Tho Northwestern Fruit Exchange
linB issued tho following bulletin on
tipple crop conditions. Since tho date
of "our Inst bulletin No. 04 issued
Juno Gilt no chnnRcs ot special Im
portance haVo been reported to the
exchange. Statements In regard to
tho1 crops east of tho MUsourl river
arc conflicting In many ways, btit tho
general tone confirms the previously
reiterated ndvlces that tho yield In
those districts will bo much larger
than has been harvested for a num
her of years. Many sections In the
caiit navo been visited with abundant
rains which hnve helped strengthen
tho situation. On tho TVholo, the
rains hnvc been of exceptional value
nt this tlt, following tho extremely
hot weather and Bovoro d roughs. The
Juno drop will bo milch heavier than
was expected. While a number of
localities report blasting of Bome vnr
letles. It seems certain that New
York and Mlehlgaii at least, will have
bumper. yleldst especially In tho fall
varieties. Tho Virginias promise ft
very fir crop, although smaller than
thnt of 1810.

Virginia , reports aro recent and
cbmprehonBlvo. Tho Shenandoah
Valley and Eastern Panhandle of
West Virginia promise crops of un
usually fine quality, but on tho whole
the quantity will hardly exceed 60
or 65 per cent of last year's harvest.
The shortage Is attributed to the last
lato frost, and the excessive drouth
lasting three weeks; Tie crop has
also been abnormally heavy. The
falling off In the older orchards,
which boro heavily'last year, will be
offset, to a large extent, by the great
acreage of young orchards just com
ing Into bearing. Tho Shennandoah
Valley was Visited by severe hall,
lightning and wind stormB on June
6th ,the effect of which could not be
determined at the time of our ad
vices. Whatever damage has result
ed in tho southern parts of the val
ley may be equalised by the benefit
of rain fall In the northern sections.
fTho crops of 1910 In seven countries
3n tho Shenandoah Valley agreegated
J1000,000 barrels, or the equivalent
pt 5000 carloads.
i No additional reports have been re
ceived from Colorado.

changed. According' to best posted
sources, the ouUook for apples Is as
follows:
V Hood River, Oregon, 50 to GO per

J Rogue River, Oregon, 40 to 50 per
