acaiii't the 'J." per fetit freight in-
j crease on apples, is optimistic ovi.r
in ts ea r s uea i.
Mr. Lavidson says thai the prosper
ous condition of the eastern seaboard
ami other sections that consume the
Northwest's bo. apples, will result in
the consumption of the fruil at a profit
to growers. The market at the pres
ent lime is more encouraging than last
Season Klthoiigh the heavy receipts of
barreled apples has caused a slight de
line in price. Mr. Davidson expects
the market In remain lirm throughout
the season, lie states that the first
carloads of Northwestern apples were
iust beyinuiiiK to arrive while he was
in the east .
Mr. Davidson says that the modifica
tion of the f rein lit rate will result in a
