MARKET REVIEW.
-<-- --------------
For the Week Ending with
Publication Day.

markets this week. Buy
ers for store, hotel or house
! ~ have large variety of
| fruit to select from, al
though the only new thing on the list
is grapes. These made their first APP
pearance Monday, and include the
Concord and one or two other early
varieties. The growers are market
ing them in the regulation eight
pound box for which they receive 25
cents. Some have been sold at the
houses at slightly better, prices. They
will be in the stores in abundance
within the next few days.
The apple market is well stocked,
the Twenty-ounce and Wolf Rivers,
notable on account of their size, COM
ing in this week. The prices for APP
pies are about the same as last week.
from 55c to 75c per box.
Clingstone peaches, Muirs and
Globes are new in the peach offer
ings this week, and all varieties, in
cluding Albertas and Late Crawfords,
are plentiful. The price is coo
box. net to the grower.
Pears are a prominent feature A
few Flemish Beauties are to be had.
Bartletts are about gone; except those
from the upper valleys. The price is
holding up well at from $1.O0 to
1925 per box. Plums. prunes and
cages are plentiful, and all go at 1c
a pound.
Tomatoes are coming in in large
quantities, but on account of their
fine quality find ready sale at 35c a
box. They have never been Of lar
ger. more uniform size or sounder
and in every way more salable than
this year.
Watermelons are coming in by
wagonloads. The grower is now con-
tent if he gets 75c dozen for them.
The quality is unsurpassed. Can
teloupes continue strong at 40 @ soc
a box and are very plentiful.
There is no change in the potato
situation. The Yakima potatoes and
especially the Burbanks are ripening
Very slowly. Choice ripe spuds are
coming in in sufficient quantities to
supply the local demand, and even
more than doing so, and the dealers
are only paying $12 ton for the very
best.
The hay market is. like the potato
market, very unsatisfactory to the
ranchers. There is no outside de-
mand. while every grower in the val
ley, it seems, is anxious to sell at
any figure offered Alfalfa is weak
and moving slowly at 81 ton at the
LEGAL warehouses, while at Wapato,
Toppenish and Zillah very large
: amount is being offered at $6.75.
The North Yakima dealers have been
: offered hundreds of tons of choice
alfalfa which they were unable to
take because there was no foreign
demand, no cars to ship it in and no
place to store 1t. Grain hay is a
drug on the market at So and timothy
at SO and 81 sells no better.
Wheat has been very slow in Of
fering, which Is doubtless due to the
low price. The best the local buy
ers were able to offer this week is Csc
for blue stem and &c for club, both
quotations being under last weeks
1t is expected that the new grain will
begin to come In the latter part Of
this week in larger quantities. Flour
and millstuffs, oats and barley are
unchanged.

Nat Goodwin, the comedian, tells
of young woman well known for
her amateur work, who had been CIV
en- an opportunity to prove her claim
to availability on the professional
stage. Sne was billed to render a
song, the refrain of which was, 1.-THE
autumn days have come, ten thousand
leaves are falling" The aspirant for
professional honors was In so ex-'
treme state of excitement that she
took too high key. "Ten thou-ou-
