APPLE MARKET IS IN GOOD SHAPE Fully 40 per cent of the apple crop of the Wetiatchee district has been •old, according to figures obtained from various ihlppem and marketing agen cies. in other words, actual sales to date amount to fully 6,060 cars, out of a possible 15,000 car crop. Few If any cars have been «hipped out of the Washington district unsold this season, and tbe volume of order« ahead indicale that "rollerà" will be very scarce. Thus -while sales to date are estimated at 6,000 cars, shipments are only a little over 3,000, so that there 1» a good margin to protect the district «gainst the practice of rolling vare to market in tbe hope of selling tiieiu upon arrival. Hales of Intermediate varieties such as Htaymmi, Spitzeuburgs and Rome Beauty« have also been heavy, as bare Delicious, but Winesaps have not moved out of growers' hands to any marked extent. Even the recent of fers of >2 a box have failed to tempt many growers to part with their saps. Marketing agencies report that the tendency is to get rid of the earlier varieties In the order of their harvest ing and hold Wiuesaps, Yellow New- towns, Arkansas Blacks and other later apples until the eastern trade is reudy to handle them. Though a*ole shipments to October 1 were 50 per cent greater than ever before during a similar period, there is no sign of a shortage in reefers, ac cording to figure« furnished by tlie Great Northern railway. There are on tlie line about 3,000 empty cars destined for apple loading and refrig erators are iielug received from other lines at the rate of between 200 and 300 dally. Between >3,000,000 and >4,000,000 liave been added to the total value of the apple crop of north central Wash ington by tbe advance in tlie cash price that lias taken place within the taxi two weeks. Tbe Wiuesap crop alone lias gained an average of 50 cents per laix in value, which means >1,500,000 on 3,000,000 boxes. Other varieties liave advanced from 25 to 50 celila a box in prke during the same period. Extiuiates of the size of the crop are Ixdng reduced, as the harvest pro- grexwx.’*“ The horticultural office main tains, however, that the commercial •crop will run to nearly 15,000 cars. Special fall grades are being «hipped and alio some fourth grade«. With higher prices, it is pointed out, every salable tipple will be packed and shipped, tlius adding to the volume of the crop a large tonnage that might otherwise not be handled. Record Cargo of Canned JVuits Vessels of the Furness line have con sistently carried large cargoes of fruits and tanned goods from Portland but it remains for tiie Loudon Shipper, which cleared from Portland September 111, to carry the record cargo of canned goods from Portland to Ute United Kingdom. Tills cargo consists of 30,- 118 casca of tauned pears, rasplierries, strawberries and loganlierries weighing 1,635,171 pounds and valued at >137,- <KM». Vessels of tills line a year ago took out a cargo amounting to more than 1,000,000 pounds of canned goods but this shipment is at least 50 per cent greater. According to figures compiled by the traffic department of the Port of Port land shipments of canned goods from Portland during the first three week* of Nepteiniier have amounted to 91,035 cases weighing 5,064,767 pounds and valued al >421.096. Ail but 3,200 pounds of this was delivered in the United Kingdom. Hlilpnienta of canned goods also were heavier during the month of August and amounted to 94,- 886 casca valued at >402,706, the weight, however, being considerably less or 3,793,353 pounds. Ex|s>rts the first eight months of this year have amounted to 8,461,446 pounds, which Is approximately 2,000,000 pounds greater than for the first eight months of last year. Shipments for Septem- ber, 1924, amounted to 2,MN),000 pounds eomimrecl with 5,064,000 pounds so far during Scptemls-r of thia year, which shows an tncron s e of «ppr nximat s ly 4,000,000 pounds for the first nine months of the same ¡s*riocl of 1924.
