THE APPLE CROP
A Dolcfui Prediction Of Failure I'm New
England.

SPRrNoFTKLp, MASS, August A-This weeks
New England Homestead says: Apples will be
soarcer aud more costly this season than for
many q year. There 10 but half q crop OF
winter fruit in the famous Annapolis valley of
Nova Scotia, and a still greater reduction in
the apple belt Of southern and western Ontario
and Michigan along the lakes. In Maine and
limited sections Of Vermont and New Hamp-
shire there is fair yield OF apples, being best
in Maine. Throughout southern New Eng
land, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
the interior states generally the promise of
winter fruit is worse than ever before known.
The apple belt of western New York, along
Lakes Ontario and Erie, which in good seasons
ships much more than 1000, 600 barrels to New
York or foreign markets, has almost no crop
whatever this year.
The Homestead confirms this fact by the
testimony Of over 800 correspondents and be-
lieves that the great majority of farmers in
that region will not have enough apples for
home consumption. Curiously enough there
Is one considerable area in Missouri and
Kansas within radius of 100 miles of Kansas
CITY In which there IL a phenomenal crop of
winter apples Of fine quality. Eastern buyers
are already gobbling it up at good prices.
Summer and fall apples are also short and
command good prices. The Homestead thinks
will rule at "a and IS per barrel in Boston and
New York within three months.
-Four dollars has already been bid for on e
lot in Addison county, VT, and the exports of
apples from the United States and Canada of
the 1880 crop will no, be much over 5000
barrels. against 100000 barrels last year and
1000, 900 barrels in 1858. Peaches are a prac-
tical failure in southern Ontario and Michigan.
as well as in the southern states and Con-
necticut.
Pears and plums yield unevenly, but are far
below an average crop and must command
good prices. Grapes, however, are an I'M
mense crop, save in sections of New Jersey and
the south, where the black rot is playing havoc
with the fruit.
The scarcity Of other fruits will sustain the
market for grapes. The shortage Of large
fruits is due TO injury OF the fruit buds by the
cold snaps following warm spells last winter
and to cold wave and rain that blasted the
blossoms, while drought in July
caused much fruit to drop.
The Homestead's preliminary report on the
potato crop indicates disastrous shortage in the
south and west, q curtaled crop in New
York and far average yield in New England,
If spared by the rot, which is now making its
appearance. Potatoes in Ireland are sadly
blighted and are also rotting in Scotland

POWDERLY PREDICTS SUCCESS.
He Thinks the knights VIII Beat the
New York Central.

DETROIT, MICH, August l4-General Master
Workman Powderiy, Secretary J. W. Hayes. J.
]. Holland and John Devlin, members Of the
executive board of the Knights of Labor. met
in this city yesterday. They denied that the
meeting had anything TO do with the present
strike on the New York Central and Hudson
River railroad In spite of these assertions.
however, they were constantly in receipt OF
kilograms from New York and eluded reporters
as much as possible. Mr.. Powderly was aske d
if he knew, az was then supposed to be true,
that the brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
had decided 10 aid the strikers. He seemed
surprised, and after q brief consultation with
the other members of the committee he
dictated the following: mo application
made from Assembly 246, which is In
command, and the board, as such, can
take no action until asked. We have expected
that the Brotherhood OF Firemen would take
the action they did, of which we,have been ap-
pr1sed. We also expect that the engineers will
follow, as they have nothing left them. now
that the 6remen Aave come over to u.s. / want
to state right here that the iremen did not
take the action they have because Of outside
interference, but simply because they desired
to do 1t themselves, and they recognize the fact
that this quarrel was s much theirs as ours.
The men had no intention of striking, but Mr..
Webb intended they should strike and forced
it by Wholesale discharge Of the knights. Mr..
Holland was said to have been instrumental In
starting this strike, but he really had nothing
TO do with it. / am confident that had both
sides placed the matter in Mr.. Hollands hands
there would have been no difficulty. The re-
sponsibility for this strike rests in the main
with Mr. Webb"
When Mr. Powderly was asked il he blamed
Mr.. Depsw for the present difficulties, he said:
''Mr. Depew did not leave until June, while
the Wholesale discharge Of the men began in
April"
Mr.. Powdsrly expressed every confidence in
the knights winning. He thought the strike
would extend to all the railroads that persisted
in handling New York Central freight II now
looks az il the strike was in the hands Of the
general committee. The Michigan Central and
Lake Shore officials expect 10 be ''tied up," as
they claim they will handle all the freight the
New York Central offers.
