APPLES IN STORAGE
OVER YEAR AGO
There were npiiroxlmatoty 4,000,
000 boxes of apples In storage In the
United States on December 1st or
2,500,000 boxes less thnn on the same
ditto n year ago.
The information is very startling
nnd g given on tlio authority of tho
International Applo Shippers' asso
ciation, which Is In n position to know
almost exactly what tho holdings of
fruit nro. Tho npplcs in storngo In
Chicago shew:
Nov. 24, 290,000 boxes, 300,000
barrels; Dec. 1, 460,000 boxes, 403,
000 barrels.
This means a decrcaso of 170,000
boxes of apples and 103,000 barrels
of tho EAtno fruit and by tho time
that tho December holdings of this
year In tho Windy City aro known,
tho shortage will bo much greater.
Considering this extreme shortage
In available supplies of apples In tho
country at this time, tho outlook for
tho market is much moro faovrabla
than had been generally anticipated.
Whllo it had been generally expected
thnt tho holdings would bo much less
thnn a year ago, the shortago is oven
greater than any or tho trado had an
tlclpatcd. While It Is truo that tho apple crop
of tho country was very short this
season as compared with a year ago,
it has been generally presumed that
there was a smaller percentage of tha
crop marketed this season owing to
tho high prices that havo been In of",
feet this year as compared with tho
very low prices a year ago.
Tho holdings of apples in storage
along tho Pacific coast and especially
in tho Pacific northwest aro much
less than generally expected although
detailed figures aro not yet avail
able. All of tho big districts aro get
ting qulto well cleaned up of sup-
piles and In tho smaller districts
there aro so fow aflples remaining for
market that they cannot bo consid
ered as much of a factor.

I.OS ANGKl.KS, Cnl., Dec. S.
Los Angeles fans apparently do not
bcllcvo that Hud Anderson of Mod
ford has been marked for the retired
list because of his recent election to
tho Appendicitis club. This Is indi
cated by tho preponderance of opin
ion that has established him a 10 to G
fnvorlto over Frank Ilarrleau, of Vic
toria, 11. C, whom ho meets In n
scheduled twenty round match tomor
row night at Vernon.
Anderson lias not appearvd hero
since his knockout by Loach Cross
on tho evo of an operation for ap
pendicitis. Harrleau subsequently
bested Cross In a no decision bout
at Vancouier. For this reason ninny
seasoned rlngblrds declared tho price
was a false one.
The boys will weigh In at 135 H
four hours beforo the bout. The
w Inner probably will be sent against
Jack Urltton of Chicago.

Knuuellne Pankhurst arrived In Lon

iastic throng of suffragettes and wont
at once to suffragette headquarters,
where a special sulto had been pre
pared for her.
Her rooms. It was announced by
Mrs. Dacre-Kox. a leading militant,
would bo barricaded to prevent tho
pollco from re-nrrestlug her at tho
expiration of her leave.
For tho authorities tho situation
promised to become an embarrassing
one. It they do not attempt a re
arrest, It was pointed out, their fail
ure to act will bo a confession of their
helplessness. It they do attempt
one. It was generally agreed that the
militants hnvo reached a point .where
their resistance can hardly escapo
being attended by bloodshed.
In having Mrs. Pankhurst arrested
on her return to England from tho
t United States, It was tho consensus
'of opinion that Home Secretary Mc-
Kenna made a mistake' which ho will
i have causa to regret deeply beforo
the trouble he stirred up Is over.
Mrs. Pankhurst was still very
weak from her hunger and thirst
