The Fruit-Growers' Guide pub
lishes the following regarding the re
cent slump ill the price of northwes
tern pears in eastern markets, due to
pcurs arriving ripe:
. "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

SELLING APPLES

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)

ple of months, if necessary. The orT
nnges are not, however, held back in

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.

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.

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."
