LONDON
PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 25. Tho
highest price. In two years lina Wen
secured for four carloads of apples
for, English account. Tho sale, was
nimlo by tho Northwestern fruit Kx
chnnga of this city through Its own
bnnch In London. It va perhaps
owing to this closo connection that
the local Institution was ablo to
land tho big order at the most fav
ornblo price.
Tho ordor calls for the delivery of
King David, Grimes Golden and Jona
than apples. The '.price Is practically
$1.70 n box f. o. b. Pacific Northwest
flipping station.
l'cnrs for London
In lino with this sale comes the
announcement by the same, parties
that a carload or nartlott pears from
tho Horuo river valley will start for
London today. Shipment will bo
in ml (i on tho steamship Olympic which
will sail from New York September
13th. Tho shipment will come from
the famous llillcrcst orchards near
Medford and tho quality Is said to bo
the l'pl eer turned nut of tho
Koruo river valley.
That I-ondon stands for a good
treat when it receives these pears is
the opinion of those who havo been
busily engaged In assembling the
fruit In tho Southern Oregon or
chard. I-ast year a carload of Horuo
river Dartlett pears was sent to Lon
nnd It waa the first ever received in
that market. Its condition was per
fect and tho shipment brought un
usually favorable prices. Tho pres
ent shipment Is expected to do equal
ly as good, It not better.
l'car Market Poorer
Tho condition of tho pear trade In
tho eastern markets Is not so good.
With some of tho home sections ship
ping to tho trade, there is naturally
an Inclination to lower tho extreme
prices that havo beon ruling dnrlng
recent days. This has curtailed to a
considerable extent, the former great
speculative activity of the market.
At the present tlnio there. Is only a
fair demand for Rogue river Dart
letts at $2.00 f. o. b. Medford, while
Ynklma stock Is finding a moro lim
ited demand at $1.75.
