APPLE CROP SHORT.
Eastern Advices Place II Away Below the
Average Prices Prevail.

The apple crop Of the United States is
far below the average, and prices on the
local market, it is expected by commits
sion men, will be at least twice rs high
as those OF last year
The reports made at the convention
OF the Apple Shippers association, held
recently at Toronto, Canada, showed
that the coming crop will be but 46 per
cent OF the yield last year. The greatest
shortage is in the east. The committee
appointed to make comparisons with
the conditions at the same time during
previous years reported the following
percentages for this year OF ordinary
crops Ontario, 80 per cent; Nova
Scotia, IS; New England, 25; New Jer-
sey, rs; Pennsylvania, 40 ]; New York, 20
Maryland, so; Virginia, 65; Kentucky,
25; Tennessee, 35; Ohio, 40; Michigan,
80; Indiana, 40; Illinois, 40; Missouri,
IS. Arkansas, so; Kansas, 45 Nebraska
As Iowa, % Colorado, So; Wisconsin,
10; California, 80; Oregon, 80; Washing
ton, 80.
The lowest price during the fall u
1900 for all varieties OF apples was $3.50
per barrel. During the following spring,
after the summer apples were on the
market, the price dropped to sl.75 per
barrel. Summer apples are now worth
IS per barrel. The fall apples, which
are the principal crop of the year, are
expected to be worth about "a per bar
rel at the opening of the season.

PREPARING WHEAT LAND.

The success of this crop depends

Fires the shots.
President Mckinley smiled, bowed
and extended his hand in that spirit
of genialty the American people so
well know. when suddenly the sharp
crack of a revolver rang out loud and
clear above the hum of voices, the
shutting Of myriad feet and vibrat-
ing waves of applause that ever ard
anon swept here and there over the
assemblage.
There was an instant of almost
complete silence. The president
stood stock still, look Of hcsitancy,
almost of bewilderment on his face.
Then he retreated step, while
pallor began to steal over his fea-
lures. The multitude, only partially
