APPLE BARRELS.
Record Breaking Prices Are In Pros
pect For Them This SenSon.


pect For Them This Senson.
The outlook is that orchardists will
have to pay practically record breaking
prices for apple barrels this season. A
calamity Which should cut down the
crop greatly may of course change the
situation entirely. but with IA fairly
large yield it is hard to believe that
there will be drop in barrel prices.
Orange Judo Farmer has interviewed
leading commission men and growers
throughout the principal apple districts
of the United States in regard to the
situation and finds that prices for bar
rcls are starting ON n plane that aver
ages the highest on record although
values are not quite SO sensational as
they were at the height of the season
last year, when apple containers bo-
came scarce

Prices YarY greatly, according to the
section Of the country Good to No. /
barrels are quoted f. o. b. Chicago at
81 to 3s cents each. In Dubuque, la.
they are bringing - to 80 cents. about
the same rs last year. Northern Mich
igan prices are slightly under tine chi.
cago range
Further est prices for apple barrels
are right NJ the top notch. PhiladoI-
phia quotes item ut - cents f. o. b,
which is about cents higher than last
summer. In central New York the
season starts with prices 81 to 81 cents.
Virginia growers are giving 30 cents
or slightly above for barrels. and il
New Hampshire they are quoted at 20
cents. which IS practically record
breaking point for the opening Of the
season.
Apple dealers in the west claim that
manufacturers Of slaves and heads are
working So closely in unison that they
practically form trust. Prices are
fixed 81 that it seems improbable that
there will be any decline.
Crates and Boxes In Favor.
The trend of sentiment among apple
growers aud handlers. according Ia the
authority quoted. is toward the NOR"
extensive use of crates aud boxes IN
packing Some localities offer ubje,

That organized labor is giving care fui consideration to the issues of the campaign and is inclined to give strong support to Parker and Davis is indicated by the great demand which labor unions have made for literature bearing upon the attitude of, the democratic party toward or ganized labor and the trusts and for pamphlets published by the, national committee containing verbatim re- ports of decisions in labor union cases rendered by Judge Parker as chief justice of the New York court of ap- peals. That comparison of that at titude and of Judge Parker's decisions with the record of the republican party and it's candidate for the presi- dency, is bearing good fruit is shown by the recent action of the labor party in Montana in formally endorsing the democratic national ticket, by the un- expected movement among labor un- ions in Pennsylvania to break away
 
 ports from other states that like ac-, tion will be taken by labor organiza- tions. Tn Montana there is a com pact political party composed entirely of union labor men, which has alread proved its right to be reckoned among the powerful factors in local politics: it is this organization which has vot- ed to give it's undivided support to. movement toward Parker was started by the Building Trades alliance of Pittsburg, and is spreading to othe- industrial centers in the Keystone State. A dispatch to the New York World, under date of October 10, says that the example set by Pittsburg men is likely to cause political revolution unless the coal and steel barons can head it of at once. It is represented in this dispatch that "nearly every member of union in this part of the state has secretly pledged himself to vote the Parker l ticket If a movement of this char acter has assumed large proportions in the hopelessly republican state of Pennsylvania, it is reasonable to sup pose that in states less corrupt and 1 less at the mercy of the millionaires who control great trusts, similar movements will be decisive factors in | the election.
