SILoAM SPRINas, Ark. Oct ls.-The
late rain has greatly stimulated the
apple business and that industry is
fairly booming, with prices steadily
advancing. Choice shipping apples
sold to-day at 81 per barrel, the top
for extra shippers reaching 32.10.
There are evidences, some Of the local
fruit men claim, OF IN attempt on
the part Of certain railroad and cold

the entire apple product Of the coun-
try. but the developments 30 far have
not been sufficient to warrant . posi-

In view Of the great scarcity Of apples

some buyers that q corner could easily
be accomplished.
