IMPORTANT TO APrLE-GROWERS.
The San Francisco Fruit Exchange, through its
president, frank Dalton, has issued the following
circular to growers and packers of evaporated ap
ples:
At a recent meeting of the San Francisco Fruit
Exchange the merits of California evaporated ap
ples were compared to those of Eastern manufac
ture and it was unanimously agreed that
the methods employed in California were
such as to make* our article inferior to j
the Eastern and, therefore, less desirable.
The difference is ; caused to a great extent by the I
use of water in packing. This practice, which has !
been ie vogue for years, has not only prejudiced the
Eastern and Southern buyers against our apples,
but it has also proven detrimental to all those who
deal in the article. As it is the province of the San
Francisco Fruit Exchange to call matters of this
kind to the attention of thefruit-growers.and to give
them the benefit of the experience of its members,
it was resolved to address you on the subject.
It is a well-known fact that less than 50 per cent
of the apples packed in California are consumed on
the coast, while the balance Is sold in the terri
tories tributary to San Francisco, and principally
In the State of Texas, the humidity of whose
atmosphere demands a dry pack. In Southern
points our apples come in companion with those
packed in New York, Michigan, Missouri, Arkansas
and other States east of the Missouri River. These
apples are thoroughly dried and packed In that
condition, so that they are suitable for shipment to
any climate. This, however, does not apply to
California apples, the majority of which are put
up not with regard to keeping qualities, but rather
with a view to produce as many pounds as possible
to the ton when ready for marketing. As a result'
a box of evaporated apples sold at 50 pounds net
usually contains from 3 to 5 pounds of water.
It can easily be seen thai this policy is a very
Short-sighted one, as an article put up in. such a
manner cannot possibly keep in the extreme cli
mate of Texas and other Southern points and It is
therefore, sure to prejudice the consumer sooner
or later against the California product. In addi
tion, the packer should not lose sight of the fact
that our apples do not realize from lc to 2c per
pound of the price they would bring If they were
packed perfectly dry. This has been shown very
plainly during the last season by merchants gener
ally who have been buying apples in this market,
and have become so utterly disgusted that a com
plete reform on the part of packers is necessary in
order to Induce their further purchasing at any
price. The claim that the fruit cannot be packed
In boxes without the use of water Is easily contra
dicted by referring to the Eastern dryers who pack
their apples perfectly dry, but who use larger
boxes than in California. • ""S«
Packing with water has resulted in great loss to
ooth packer and dealer, and especially has this
been the case this season, a number of lots having
spoiled while In possession of dealers who pur
chased them in good faith. In order to hold the
t>u»iness already In hand and regain that lost by
the present method of packing, the San Francisco
nouses dealing in evaporated apples have agreed—
and the agreement will be strictly adhered to— not
to buy apples during the coming season which have
been packed with water.
Another point to which we wish to call your at
tention is the matter of packing short weight. This
Has been practiced to such an extent that last sea-
Bon i some lots were marketed which were packed 2
to 3 pounds short. Nothing is gained by this, as in
almost every Instance buyers will carefully tare
boxes before paying for the purchase.
NEW YOUR MARKETS.
NEW YORK. B. V., May 24.-The improvement
In the stocK market continued in to-day's trans
actions and a higher range of values was estab
lished. Speculation was mainly confined to the
local traders, tn«? foreigners . being entirely out of
the market. The volume of business was moder

y«@V2 Per cent, the latter in Minneapolis and St.
Louis. Distilling, an exception, . receded 1 per

prominent bear operator and broke • 1% per cent.
A few other shares sympathized fractionally, but
the general market made gains. Sugar went up
' 1% and the o rangers VB@Vi per cent.
About 1:30 a. bear demonstration was made
against the grangers, with a report that at the June
meeting of the Northwest directors the dividend
would be made 1% per cent, making the rate for
the year 4 per cent. The losses in this group
ransed from % to IVi per cent, and was most
marked in Northwest. The rest of the market fell
off-%@1% per cent. After delivery. hour prices
again took an upward turn, and speculation was
strong at the close. • . ■

. Although/the Liverpool wheat market opened 2d
lower than it closed yesterday and it had rained in
Kansas during the night, the market here opened
with Home buyers - willing to pay -79c for July
wheat. Not 1 many buyers, however, paid that.
The great majority .were willing to sell at 78 3 4c, or
the same an it was worth at the close of yesterday's
session, and some even pressed some ■ wheat for
sale which had a good profit in it at 781.4 c.
A great deal of wheat was wanted at from 78% c
up to 783,4 c and before the early buying orders
which succeeded the opening break could be all
filled the price rose again to 79c. For about fifteen
or twenty minutes the price heaved up and down
in irregular swells and depressions between 78 "fee
and 79c and then came a crash.
Corn commenced to tumble, and when it had
broken to i/ 2 c below the price it had closed at yes
terday, then wheat had a sympathetic spasm and
collapsed suddenly to 7714 c. The. reviving influ
ence of fresh baying orders was again applied and
before many minutes it bad again recovered to
Tin,,.. " s „ ':'■-.-■'. V.
• The firs! downward plunge was due to the lower
cables, sales by longs and the execution of stop
loss orders. On the next turn it declined to 7S'/gC
and then kept wobbling lazily for an hour or more
between 78 1 . -jc and 79c. The volume of trading
was very much reduced as compared with the tre
mendous bulk of business done every day for ten
days back. There were considerable intervals dur
ing which there was actual dullness in the pit, but
at no time was there an entire absence of nervous
watchfulness that kept the pit filled with brokers
all alert for contingencies.
The reports from the South concerning the' drops
of the States of Indiana and Illinois were woeful
in their monotonous reiteration of destruction. In
addition to these States, Ohio, Kentucky and Mis
souri joined the doleful chorus, and even the
Northwest had some complaints to send about un
favorable weather for spring wheat. The market
began to weaken very much after the noon hour,
and long wheat kept coming out in heavy chunks
from that time up to the close. That resulted in »
rapid and heavy drop In the price. There were
strong tights during the decline at 78c, 77i/ 2 c ( and
finally 763' B e, but it was not until the latter point
was reached that the selling orders ceased to pre
vail. There was a rapid recovery to 77c in the last
few minutes, but at the close there were sellers at
77c and it dropped to 76S/ 8 c before the crowd sepa
rated.
Corn— The market again suffered from heavy re
ceipts und favorable outlook for the next crop. A
good demand from the seaboard resulted In the
sale for export of 250.000 bushels which sustained
the price early In the day, but in the afternoon weak
ness of wheat and fine weather were the most in
fluential fuctors in the end. and a considerable de
cline resulted. The opening price for July was
543ic, or i^c under the previous day's closing
quotation. It was prevented from getting very
weak while the cash business reported was under
way, hut gradually worked down to 531 «<'• It had
a quick reaction to 833& C, which was the price at
the .lose.
Oats— Further and more discouraging reports of
crop damage by the weather started comparatively
linn feeling in the oats market. It did not las:
long, however, weakening with wheat and corn.
There was free selling on the decline, and at times
some difficulty was experienced in finding buyers.
Taken as a whole, however, business was active
and sales heavy.
Provisions were weak from beginning to end.
The bog receipts are providing more than the cash
demand will absorb, and corn is weak.

choice sheep and 40c for best Mexican lambs. The

at about 10c lower, but some choice native 65

week.

THE WOOL MARKET.
BOSTON, Mass., May 23.— The Boston Commer
cial Bulletin will say to-morrow of the wool mar
ket: The sales of the week are 1,657,100 pounds
domestic and 834,000 pounds foreign, against 1,
--519,000 pounds domestic and 1,651,488 pounds
foreign last week and 1.693,500 pounds domestic
and 57.000 pounds foreign for the same week last
year. The sales to date show a decrease of 687,
--000 domestic, an Increase of 15.667,000 pounds
foreign from the sales to the same date in 1893.
The receipts to date show a decrease of 11,226
bales doim-stic and an increase of 90,195 bales
foreign. The market is still dull but uneasy.
Domestic wool on hand is limited to very poor
selection. Rather than pay the higher prices in
the market for new wools, buyers are turning
more than ever to foreign stock. Up to date 14,
--900.000 pounds of Australia alone have been sold
in Boston, against 3,500,000 pounds during the
same time last year. Cape wool at 30@32c, clean,
is now being experimented with exclusively as a
substitute for American clothing fleece, and cross
breds, Australian and South American are being
substituted for the new Kentucky medium wools.
They cost 25@27c clean, against 28@30c clean for
Kentucky.
BKADSTKEET'S REVIEW.
NEW YORK, N. V., May 24.— Bradstreet's to
morrow will say: The moderate reaction In the
stock market lost week and this week, caused pri
marily by frosts and reports of severe damage to
cereal crops, was followed only in part by a corre
sponding check to the movement in general trade.
Not one of the larger grain States confirms the re
ports of severe damage to wheat and corn with
which the exchanges have abounded, and there is
lrss reason to believe in the extent of it as cur
rently reported. The most bullish feature in the
wheat situation lies in the announced restriction
of Argentine and Russian exports, reduced export
ability of nearly all leading producers and shorter
supplies of importing countries.
Few bell-vethat wheat has touched its highest
point on this wuve, although it U 'Jsc per bushel
, at>ove the lowest since the Punic. X.sports of
wheat from the Unit- d States, both coasts, and.
Montreal this week amount to 2,754,000 bushels
;i:,'!iins: 2,897,000 bushels last week; 2,310,000
Im-ihils in the third week of May, 1894; 3.108,000
bushels ia Hie tlnnl wvck of 1893; 2.280,000 bush
eis in the year before that and as compared with
2,34. r ),000 bushels -sported in 1891.
1 his week's record of advances are as conspicu
ous as ever, and include hides, shoes, leather, Bes
semer pisiron. steel bidets, nails, tar Iron, copper
zinc, wheat, Indian corn, oais, pork, lard, Hour,
coffee, cotton, naval stores, potatoes, poultry and
1 butter, twenty-two in all.
The tone of the iron and steel markets is the
strongest since the depression of 1893-94. Woolen
mumifacturer.-i are workingon old orders, and some
refuse- to stock up with raw material, as prices at
the Interior are above a parity with those at the
I seaboard. Western views are that manufacturers
! may be short of supplies to meet fall contracts.
The immense advance In petroleum prices has so
ftr failed to induce any large increase in the well
output, thus pointing to approaching exhaustion of
subterranean stores of thi» product in the Appa
lachian region. Consumption is still lighter than
production.
DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
NEW YORK, N. V., May 24.— R.G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade, which issues to-morrow,
will say: If wheat has been so greatly injured by
j the snows and frosts in May that the sudden rise
of 12c in two weeks Is justified, the calamity will
affect all business prospects. The markets do not
believe it. for stocks do not collapse, iron, leather
and hides still rise, and no holder of wheat would
sell at 80c, a lower price than had been known
at this season for thirty years prior to 1893,
if curn-m reports were credited. Soaie injury has
undoubtedly been sustained, but our own dis
patches do not show that it Is really serious. The
temper is to buy regardless of possible require
ments, la toe faith that prices are sure to rise.
Wes crn receipts for three weeks have been
larger than last year in spite of storms and frosts.
But the rise has practically stop]>ed buying for ex
port, thejas similar rise did in April. 1894. which was
followed with about the lowest price then ever
known. Whether grain has been greatly injured
or not, foreign markets will take early occasion to
fortify themselves from other sources. The week's
sales here have amounted to 155.000,000 bushels,
and accounts of damage by frosts and insects are
so mixed up that some traders think the bugs must
wear overcoats.
Corn rose 3» 4 c during the week, though much of
the corn iiioed may be replanted. Pork rose 50c
per barrel, lard 5c per 100 pounds and oats 2c.
Cotton also advanced s.jc during the week, with
sales of 1,556,200 bales, current estimates putting
the decrease in acreage at 13.5 per cent and the
crop at 7,300,000. Even this, with Known com

April output was about 2500 tons larger than that

WHEAT AND OTHER GRAINS. .
WHEAT— The Langdale takes for Cork 68,227

The usual rumor about ■ the syndicate Wheat
floated about yesterday.* It was to the effect that
the holders of It were no longer anxious to get rid
of It In view of the rise in prices, and that they had
now come to the conclusion to hold it for a couple
of months until ships would probably be in better
supply and Wheat consequently higher: : We give
these dally rumors for what they are worth.
. The market for shipping Wheat was again quoted
higher yesterday, but futures were considerably
lower in sympathy with a drop in the Chicago mar
