New York fruit farmers are old hands
at the business, and many of them pack
their own fruit. either selling it TO APP
pie firms representatives or consigning
it themselves to commissionhouses. In
Illinois more apples are bought on the
trees. Occasionally speculative in
vestors buy the prospective crops of
orchards in bloom
In Chicago three or four South Water
street houses handle the fruit in car
lots, as well as in lesser quantity, and to
them the minor commission men go for
part of their stock. Firms sandwiched
between these two extremes in the vol
ume Of their business buy outright over
the country and receive commission on
a lesser scale than the leaders-ChicaRo

PLENTY OF APPLES.
This Years Crop Nearly Twice -
Large a. That Of 1893
Distribution of the Crop Between
the short States-How the
Fruit IL Handled in
Chicago.

The apple crop this year is twice as
large as that of 1898, according to South
Water street apple kings. Even then
it is but so per cent. of full crop and
is not to be compared with the immense
crop of 1896, when apples sold as low as
IS cents barrel and were so cheap that
no money could be made on them by
either grower or handler. The quality
this year is also superior to that of 1898,
with prices in general lower. New York
apples are higher than year ago. but
that is due to the exceptionally fine
quality of this seasons New York fruit.
The distribution of the crop varies, as
it does every year. New York has about
40 per cent. of crop, Michigan so per
cent. of crop, mostly of No. 2 apples.
TheNew England crop is light. Last
year the west had none. This season
Indiana has larger yield than for ten
years past and the piles of apples on the
celar floor are bigger than for long
time. Ohio and Iowa did fairly well.
Illinois has fair crop of mediums. Mis-
souri's yield is small and of poor quail
ity. Wisconsin and Minnesota are buy
ers. California did well, as did Canada,
which has about 60 per cent. of crop.
The Pacific coast is coming up in ap-
pie production. It is not much of fac
tor this year, however, on account Of
the quantity of fruit raised in the mid
die west and east. In few years it will
be of greater Importance, although even
now it is of Importance in case of a
shortage over the rest Of the country
This year the middle, west and east
are exchanging fruit in kind of apple
reciprocity. New York is swapping her
famous greetings, Baldwins, russets,
Grimes golden and spys for western
Jonathans, wine saps and Ben Davis,
especially the latter.
The apple picking season is now over
and car loads Of apples are coming into
Chicago for cold storage. Only the best
haad-pieked apples will stand cold stor-
age for any length of time. Chicago
handles about 80 per cent. of the eggs
in the country, and at least 20 per cent.
of its apples. 1t would handle . larger
percentage of the latter were it not for
the number of cold storage plants con-
structed throughout the fruit districts
in New York state.
The common practice of large South
Water street apple men buying apples
varies in different sections. In New
York most Of the apples purchased by
thems.a are bought by tie barrel, being
picked by the grower but packed in the
orchard by the commission tifnSs own
packers. A few firms have as many as
500 men in their employ during the
four to six weeks packing season. But

Cape Nome in Far Away
Alaska.

Cape Nome, on the northern Alaska
coast, is now the place which figures
largest in the hopes and dreams of
gold seekers and fortune hunters
throughout the world. Discoveries
quite unprecedented in the history
of gold mining have been made on
the sea beach and the adjacent region
at this point.
The existence Of gold at Cape Nome
was made known only few months
ago, but the rush in this direction has
been very great recently, and the re
gion is now hive of industry. The set
Element here called Anvil City is only a
few months old, and now has popula-
ton of over 5000. All kinds of bust
ness are booming, and corner lots, lum-
Der, fuel, mining equipment and pro-
visions are up to sky prices.
Old miners declare Cape Nome to be
the most wonderful placer camp ever
discovered. Fabulous stories are told
of the riches found in the sand Of the
beach and in the gulches and creeks
thereAbout. One miner named Lind
bloom; who returned to Seattle a, few
days ago, cleared up 100000 during the
present season, and has refused $780,
900 in cash for his holdings. A single
nugget worth $3.50 was taken from one
of his claims recently. Another man
from Sioux City, Ia, has brought down
to Seattle with him SO, 900 in dust taken
from space As feet square on Cape
Nome beach. The storekeepers at An
vii City are said to have refused to ac-
cept any more dust, as their vaults and
safes are full.-Leslie's Weekly.

there is probably not man in the city

spect of property owners from the small

The thirty-fourth annual encamp.
ment of the Grand Army Of the Re-
public will be held at Chicago. begin-
ming August ~ and continuing until
September /. Owing to the extreme
age attained by many members Of the.
order, which may prevent them from
attending future meetings, IL IS pro-
posed to make this years gathering
the most notable in the history Of the
organization. The eneampment was.
given to Chicago on account Of its cen-
trail location and the hberality Of its.
citizens, whoagreed to contribute $780,
600 for the appropriate decoration Of
buildings, the construction Of arches
and incidental expenses. Two mag
nifcent arches will be erected along
the line of march Of the naval and milf
tary parade, M to represent the naval
branch of the service and the other
the army. At equal distances between
these arches, forming a patriotic court
of honor, will be placed heroic figures
of civil al heroes, decorated with
corps badges, flags and other patriotic
emblems, At night the arches and dec
o%rations will be q perfect blaze Of cleo
trio lights. Another attraction talked
of by the committee in charge is a re-
production Of Appomattox court
house, but its construction is BY no
means certain.
Among the programme features Of
the encampment are a land and naval
parade, a naval battle and reception to
Admiral Dewey, all of which win take
place Monday, August 81. On the 28th
committees will receive President Nc
Kinley and visiting governors, who will
review the annual parade Of the Grand
Army of the Republic. In the evening
the veterans will be received by the
president and COMMANDER in Chief
Shaw. On the goth the thirty-fourth
encampment will convene in
annual session. On the 30th there will
be a grand sham battle in jackson
park, with an illuminated industrial
parade in the evening. Besides these
official entertainments there will be
parades and reunions every afternoon
and evening and private Examinations
and band concerts of great attractive
ness and interest.
On June 30, 1899, the Grand Army
consisted of 6,9O5 posts, with a total
membership of S7,981. It is supposed
that 100000 of this number will visit
Chicago during the encampment, con
shutting indeed a grand army" in
every of the word. The business
will be presided over by Com
mander in Chief Shaw. No matters of
Importance will come before this
