"New York, Sept, 1.1. "Last week very heavy losses were made, as rioted in the Inst issue of lliu (.ittide, on northwestern Bartlcll pears. This was due to the fact that ear after ear eame in arriving yellow ripe. None, however, eanie in mushy or rotten; hut this week eupped the climax. Heeeipts were very heavy from Washington and Oregon, Mon thly's offerings heing forty ears and Tuesday's thirty-one. The hulk of the arrivals were yellow ripe and a great many ears were in such condi tion that the hoard of health got busy and made wholesale condemna tions. Some of these condemnations, however, were not entirely justified. Still, there was a lot of stock that wasliadly cooked and mushy to n de gree, and losses were almost unpre cedented in a business the history of which has heen marked from lime to time with costly breaks in the market. SlHH'llIlltOI'ft llif Jyosors. To lako Monday's ami Tuesday's showing, as u sample, while a few cars ofgreun, hard fruit sold at If1.7."i to $2, and California pears when strictly, fancy sold very well, these northwestern pears sidd almost en tirely on a basis of ))() to $1.00, with some as low as (Hie, and some Wash ington slock, pracMcallv worlliless, as low as !)(le. It is not likely that the nverage for those two days was over $00 a box. Now, when it is taken into consideration that u large pro portion of these pears were hoiighl outright by the speculators, part al $.r)ll it ton and part at $1.5(1 a box I', o. h. loading station, with the freighl and refrigeration of 7fe n box, and with 111b allowed fur miction charges and incidental expenses, bringing the total cost to about $2.11") laid down in New York, and sold, the extent of the losses may be well imagined. Seeing that every ear contains about f00 boxes, it is not hurd to figure that those cars have been making n loss of nil the way from $.100 to $000 apiece, and what has made the situation worse is that this stale of affairs has not been confined to the New York markets, hut bus heen paralelled and in some cases surpassed by every other big auction market in I lit) conn try. DlsnstjMiu lending. It is said on very good authority that a very big block of the fruit thai Hold al these low prices litis week was purchased by the speculalor at $l.7f, iind there is even report of some I', o. b. purchases being made on I lie basis of $'.'. lOarly in (he season hovers were timid as to North Yakima, Wcn- ntehco and Oregon pears on a $1 box basis f. o, h. loading stations in those sections; but a little later on the market opened lip III. $1.10 to $l.li" Then came the news of I he remark nine prices made us Hie season ran along on California Hnrllclts, and these high prices bcjng obtained all through the season induced the spec ulators m (lie norlhwesl to jump in oi uign prices, ami iroiu .fl.l.i a ipnck jump was made lo $l.:i,"i, $1..",0, $t.75 and, as slated above, in some few instances even $1!. This week will probably see the end of this northwestern pear deal which bus eventuated so disastrously. At the stall of (he season North ukima was credited with having -100 curs of ltarllctts and Wcnulchce Kill.' Theories Advanced. All sorts of theories are advanced for the statu in which the peals have been coming in. Some dealers say the fruit bus been improperly pack ed: others hark back even further for ineir reason ami say I lull llic poor currying ipmlilics of these noilhucs Icrn pears arc due In loo much irri gation ami, picking Hie fruit while the irrigation ditches hac been full of waler. The ino-l generally acecplcd theory is llial these cars have been held too long at diver-ion points and Home of them niiubc were caught and held up between Hie iccnig stut'ons when Hie embargo caused by the Ihrcalened strike was put into effect. Whatever limy he the rensuu, the ef fects have been far-reachiiig and it is generally lliuiighl 'hat a greal many speculators have had a terrific crimp put in th.-in anil one from which it will lake them a long time to recover, if ever.

The I'liartjcs ofti-n mude that nl tliii;li iiucticiii Ki'lliriK in tho lurRCHt cities is Hie best method of distribu tion for llnrtli'tt pen, prunes, clior rii's and . other highly piirishublo t'ruitH,' it is not suitable for disposint; uf box 0)plcs. The box upple in nduiittedly a bet ter keeper Hum Homo of the fruits Unit now nro sold renulurly upon the fruit iitietioiisi. However, tho Almcria Krnpes, which nro shipped to America in October und November and eon sinned the following spring; the Vor delli lemons, that nre shipped from Sicily and kept for months, arc nlso good keepers, as are the fall and win ter pears. The assistant manager of the CulU fomia Fruit Growers' exchange is au thority for the statement that orongot) can be kept ill cold storage for a cou ple of months, if necessary. The orT nnges are not, however, held back in nold storage for any groat length of lime, but are fed to the different aue. tiou markets and the small town and country privato sale markets as rap idly as tho supplies ou hand make f t ? ? ? y necessary. Orange. Growers MeUuxls. . The ornngo shippers realize that the growers lose when Hie rate of consumption is diminished by high prices nud limited offerings, when there arc many curs being held back, liven if the demand for oranges slackens and the prices go down, or if the supplies are so large that the prices are reduced, the steady flow of oranges into the markets , con tinues, because tho California ship pers have learned by snd experience that nothing is gained and n great deal is lost by attempting to beat tho law of 'supply and demand by artific ially isolating markets from the sup plies that nro their proper share. Thus they avoid unnecessary gluts. ' In the fact that oranges arc stored on the trees while apples are. picked in the fall and stored in warehouses there is no reason to support 'the statement often made by interested parties that apples cannot be sold successfully at nuetiou. Tho trade of the different cities know that thcro will he n supply of oranges upon' the auction market every 'sales day throughout the year, and the fact that they know that they will be nblo to buy on tho morrow and a month and two months lience does not prevent their being keen to get tho supplies needed. There lire always some buy ers at the mictions who must hnvo supplies at once, und there are oth ers who- have invested in different brands and who arc there to support the market and force their rivals to pay as much or more than they have paid. Other Objections. Another objection that interested t ? T f t y ? f t Y y y f t f t y i t parlies make to tho use of tho aui! tion for box apples is that "apples are grown everywhere." Thoir ex planation is as vague as is their criti cism and certainly humps hard y ? t against the fact Unit the fruit auc tions in n number of the cities draw the whole fniit trade of the district to ? t ? ? y ? ? ? ? ? f f y ? ? ? ? t ? ? ? ? ? ? their daily sules, and if there is any ilcnmiiil for box apples in the city or surrounding territory fit is found among the buyers at the auctions. Apples are sold lit auction to the advantage of the shipper in the Euro IM'iiu markets. Boston, in this coun try, has already become an auction market for box apples. This year other eastern auction markets are to have regulur supplies of apples. There is every reason to believe that if half tho intelligence is used by the shippers in feeding their supplies of apples to the auctions on lias been used in their dealings with private sale houses, that auction sell ing will be found highly sntisfuclory to all shippers. The use of the auctions in the lnrgo cities where good auction markets arc found should be in conjunction with efforts towards privute , selling at f. o. b. prices in the small city and country markets. (Adv.) t ? ? ? f ? ? f ? ? ? CHICAGO. Sept. 22. Housewives of Chicago were called upon today to attend n mass meeting at which or ganization will be perfected to fight increases in the prices of foodstuffs. The announcement that bread is to be advanced from 5 to 6 cents a loaf resulted in the cull for tho meeting. "Men nro interested in buying and selling for a profit. It is therefore folly to expect (hem to take any ac tion," tho call reads. "Women must put a stop to unwarranted increases anil wo alone can stop them."
