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.

as Htaymmi, Spitzeuburgs and Rome

Delicious, but Winesaps have not
moved out of growers' hands to any
marked extent. Even the recent of

many growers to part with their saps.
Marketing agencies report that the

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
