APPLE MARKET
IN NEW YORK
SHORTAGE OF 8,000,000 BARRELS
nlw tlistanding Tight Money Market,
Values Are Strong and
Demand Uood.
Now lork, November 8. Notwith
standing the brokeu week and tbs
tight money situation there baa been
a good steady dciuaud for apple wheo
quunty ana cniiitinou were op to
auirements. Auyiulug fancy Id all
the favored jnrta brought goodprioea,
and com triii ! 1 a redy sale, and un
der the lair ii, own., ut that marked
the closo t.i i Ud weea's business there
was noue Uj uuicb stuck of desirable
character available, l'be week's re
ceipts ooveriug the period up to
ibursdiiy night numbered lesa than
50,000 barrels oompaied with nearly
uouoie nut quantity in tue same per
ion a year ago. ut trie receipts fully
two thirds was made up of ordinary
aud choice grades, and bese, it must
ue aiimitteii, moved Into consumption
somewhat tlowly. The exports from
Pew ioik bie on a modeiate soale.
e in oo prices on stock desirable for ex
port markets Is still too high to admit
ot oven smnll pront to the exporter,
In addition to the high cost of the
fruit the question of tight money is a
oosMerutioii that has worked towards
lejsoucd volume o buying by large
interests. itie anxiety among ship
pers fcr ready cash has hIsj been the
oiiiito ot some considerable ihltments
trom the upper sections ot the state,
but as this fiuit in general has been
of good quality no ditlioulty has been
experienced lu seouriug top figures.
A factor that promises to cut con
ileiabie tlgure before the present
stnsoo is fur udranoed is the fact that
t Lo total hiiiiIo crop of ibe United
Status instead of bolng 32,000,000 bar
rels, as win previously estimated, will
not run over 21,000,000 barrels. The
shortiige in suoh oo'nmeroial apple
sections as western New York, nearly
all of iMiohigau aud the entire south
west, bus boon the cause of the heavy
buying by t ho trade In the great mid
dle tterft. The impression hero is that
whilo New Voik has a good many ap
ples they will till be needed to meet
the requirements ot the trade locally
without taking into uooount the de
innud from the markets of Europe.
Thero is, generally Epeaklng. a con
siderable linying of fruit going on
even now for the buyers in the west.
aud a report from lioobester on
l'htirsday stated that sevetal carloads
ot late varieties had hcou sold to go
to St. Louis and Chicago. Fot this
stock, the leport elated, up to 13,50
per barrel f. o. b. shipping point was
paid.
in this market there is a good bust-
uesa to tiie jobuiug trade ana lor
some ot the Uner sorts up to 15 per
itanel hps been rui til on small lots.
l'be range on No, 1 stuck covering all
varieties has been from 13.50 to 15 per
barrel, with the aveiage price close
Hround 61.25 per barrel. There has
beeu a little easiness on far western
box tuiiile.-i, aud some stock sold in
small way down to II per box. Ilest
prices for box apples were around 13
per box. ihe results at the auotlon
salos on box apples this week have not
beeu so favorable, and a good many
lots lu Ulne Pearmains Bold at from
75a to $1.15 per box. Hpitzenberg ap
ples sold Ht from $2.40 to 83. 15 per
box ut tue rtiiireiiuy sale, but Jona
than apples were a little dragging at
from $1.40 to $2 per box. Northern
Spy sold ut f rom $1.05 to $1.55 per
box, and Haiti wins met a slow sale at
from fl.TI") to SI. 05 per box. The con
dition ot the fruit was reported fait.
A comparison of the market - cover
ing the prinoipal varieties with prlot-a
ruling at this tluio last year shows a
marked strength most noticeable in
the second grades this season. The
following table gives the range In New
York on tlio leading sorts:
I'M 1906
Oaldwius 82.00 to $1.25 SI. 50 to $2.25
King 2.00 to 4.00 2.00 to 3.00
Hen Davib 2.25 to 3.25 1.75 to 125
Oreeniug 2.00 to 3.75 1.05 to 2.50
Uravenst'n 2.00 to 3 50 1.75 to 3.00
Snow 2.00 to 4.00 2.50 to 3.00
20 Ounce 2.00 to 3.50 1.50 to 125
Common 1.00 to 1.75 1.60 to 100
It will bo noted that some of tbe
piiuolpul varieties show a marked in
crease in prices this season, and in
pite of the higher values noted there
is less uusold stock in tbe market to
day than was the case last year. In
this connection a prominent operator
said to a repoiter for the Uuide on
Thursday: "lbere Is still a good deal
of ordinary stook coming into tbe
market trom up-river sections, and
some ol tins stooK, condition coustd
eiod, is doiug remaikably well. There
Is no accumulation worthy ot tbe
name to hamper the dealers. It is
true a eluiro of the stock arriving this
week did not bring its value beoause
of the lliiRucial conditions and tbe
holiday intoival, but shippers are not
oomplaining. The market as a whole
is fully SI per barrel better than it
w s tciay a year ago, in addition to
which there is no four of a flood of
fruit couiiug forward. Up in tbe
RocbcBter seotion my advices state
that the upple harvett is piactloally
closed, ihe crop there has been so
small In uomparidou wi'b the usual
ield that the unsold balanoe in grow
ers HDii speculators' bands is being
safely housed. Most of the fruit in
that section has been contracted for.
but the few growers who have apples
bove the aveiage are holding their
fruit for a higher maiket.
"If, as it is reported, the United
States crop is only 21,000,000 barrels,
there is bound to be a higher market,
and t'o hold era ot truit late in tbe
winter will reap a considerable profit,
provided the stook is well stored,
there is Kuiiw to be a shortage of the
fruiL (or tbe late winter wants, and,
in my opinion, instead of lower val
ues on o.oii common stook, there will
be higliei prices, 'there is no other
fruit thai nan take the plaoe of tbe
a iple, aud while tor a time
consumers may leave it alone for
oraugea they invariubly come back to
it. There has be - n some buying of
good keeping amdes on this market

THE HOOD RIVER

Ibe Hood River apple dlwlar at

Wilson, was tbe moat Bnlihed and
magoiooieoi aiipiay or apples ever
placed on exhibition. Hood Kiver baa
bad many creditable diaolavs., but for
artistio effeot, line atock, perfect pack
and all tbe points that go to saake op
an attractive exhibit, tbe 84 boxes of
apples, containing fourteen miotics.
WMOH Air. Wilson fathered taaether.
and which waa arransed aosnioelr.
wes tbe beet effort to proclaim to tbe
world tbat Hood Kiver stands at th
bead ot the apple growing sections.
A window ot tbe Uoddard-Kalle
Sboe store wes loaned for be occa
sion. Tbe baokground was 4 mass ot
Oregon grape, representing toe state
ot Oregon. A plate glass apple box
was made, and filled witb feur-tler
Spltzenbergs, 96 to tbe box, perfeotlv
paoked, without tbe paper wraps, and
every apple waa ol tbe same size and
perfectly colored. It waa arranaed on
a revolving etand, placed at aa angle
tnai snowed it to tbe best advantage,
and eleetrio lights placed behind It to
light op tbe interior of tbe box aa it
revolved. On top of tbe box was
placed a bouquet of toaaa, represent
ing Portland aa tbe Rose oltv. i It waa
one of tbe featuree of the exhibit, and
showed tbe Hood Kiver pack, not, on
ly the top layer, but over laver in
the box.
Tbe applea were banked on an anal
that showed off tbe exhibit in a pleas
in way. They were In two ilayers,
Oregon boxes la tbe float xew and
California boxes lo tbe rear. Between
each box was four Inches Of epaoe,
and between tbe boxes weie arranged
Oregon grape, giving eacb box an In
dividuality of its own. Neet labels
were made tbe exaot aise of tbe end
and side of the box, and put on witb
brass thumb tacks. The boxes were
arranged with two yellow varieties
and two reds, tbe upper tier being so
airanged tbat tbeic were diagonal
bands or red and yelluw. Instead of
the bands running straight op and
down.
Ibe color scheme of red, gteea and
yellow we harmonious and giving a
finish to tbe magnificent assoitmsnt
tbat was art in Itself and very beauti
ful. In front of tbe full boxes were
piste diaplayf of large applee marked,
'Tim Ma tnr thai hnv
Regard was bad for size In tbe ar
rangement of tbe boxes, tbe large
sizes being in tbe middle, witb tbe
foui tier at tbe two ends of tbe dis
play.
One box of Spltzenbergs wasipaoked
in lour quarter uexea, showing eacb
layer by - itself, as it would go In tbe
dox two oi tbe quarter boxen were
laid Oat, and tbe otber two stood on
