When asked how he accounted for the fact
that Mr.. Castle did not know his wife had
stolen goods in her possession, counsel
said that many of the articles in the police

it will be proved that Castle was not

FRUIT REPORT FOR ocTossR.


Are OIutteOs
Washington, Oct. 16.-The October
fruit report of the agricultural depart
ment shows a heavy apple crop and
an especially fine quality in the north
ern tier of states. Prices are extreme
ly low. This Is particularly tn, case in
Michigan, where the markets are giut-
ted. The disastrous storm of the last
week in September did much damage
10 fruit along the Atlantic coast. The
loss was particularly heavy i'm parts
of Pennsylvania and New York. Some
complaint of the dropping of fruit
comes from the middle west.
The October returns on hops show
an increase in New York and Wiscon-
sin and a heavy decrease in the
Pacific states. There is a ianguishing
condition of the hop-growing industry,
particularly in the latter region. Many
yards throughout the country have
been neglected. and part of the crop
will not be harvested. The continued
low price is the reason for this neglect
The report says that in view of the
great increase In the production Of
matted liquors this condition of things
ought not exist. and adds: 1T is, how
ever, but another instance of the injury
TO the farming industry brought about
through the substitution of chemical
for the more healthful agricultural
agent in manufacture, which seems the
inevitable trend of invention"
