to him but that the council was fool
ish in compelling the making of the
warehouse district of the city so far
south. He stated that the limiting
of the franchise to Yakima street
would in no wise interfere with the
elaborate plans that the Great North
ern is making for the improvement
of the railroad facilities in the city
and that these improvements would
be made early this season.
The council passed the ordinance

CHICAGO APPLE
SITUATION STRONG
REPORTED TO BE ONLY HALF
AS MANY APPLES AVAILABLE
ING VERY FREELY,

/
market here continues firm, with
prices constantly tending higher, al
| though no sensational advance is re-
| ported of late. There is a satisfac-
tory movement, both in box and bar
rel stock, but, as usual, the price is
working up while some decrease is
being noticed in the consumptive de-
mand. So far prices are not prohibit
i've, although it is feared that any
considerable advance over present
prices would conflict with a free
movement.
Storage stocks are admitted to be
iwithin safe limits, barring unfore-
seen accidents, and a majority of
dealers concur in the opinion that
I from now on the deal should work
out nicely.
Standard varieties of barrel stock
range from 1925 to $3.50 with the
usual variance below this for under
grades. The best Baldwins seem to
be firmly held from 81 to $3.50, al
though the average sale is perhaps
little below this price
Western box stock ranges from
s1.75 to 1925 for the fancy grades
of standard varieties.
Considerable interest attaches to
the meeting to be held in Washing
ton shortly to discuss the Porter bill
and it is expected some improve
ments will be made in the present
draft of the measure.
The question of apple holdings is
one of greatest Importance to the
trade at this time. Those who have
collected data are of the opinion that
the middle of January has been
reached with stocks in the United
States amounting to around 1900
900 to 100000 barrels The Can
adam stock, it is thought, will not
exceed 10000 to $4,000 barrels, and
Nova Scotia $4,000 to 10000 bar
rels. According to these figures, at
the maximum there are not more
than 100000 barrels of apples, in
Guiding box stock, both common and
cold storage, on hand in the country
at the time the Packer goes to press
this week. Some think that these
figures are strong and that 100000
barrels will cover it all.
Many prominent apple people who
are supposed to know assert that
present stocks are just about half
what they were at this time last year.
Others think that present holdings
will foot up to so per cent of what
was on hand year ago.
The apple deal seems to be work
ing out in very good shape. The
higher prices are curtailing the de-
mand. as might be expected. One
great danger that many call attention
, to is the possibility of prices going SO
: high later that the consumption will
!, be restricted to an abnormal extent
and leave a lot of unconsumed apples
at the end of the season. The states
: holding the most apples now are as
follows, and in the order named:
New York, Illinois, California, Mis-
souri,, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Ohio,
Indiana, Minnesota, Washington,
!, Massachusetts, Michigan, Colorado
and West Virginia.
; During December it is calculated
that about % per cent of the total
holdings that were on hand the first
of the month went to market.

mature July /, 1911. Some of these bonds
are twenty-five years old and the district
has paid their face value and more in in

up the $500 due in July and 1t was sug-
gested that possibly a better rate of inter

bonds was refunded in one Issue. After
considerable discussion the matter was left
with the finance committee, which was,
however, instructed to take the necessary
steps TO refund the $4,000 due in July, II

In the matter OF the property condemned
for a site for a new school at the corner
Of Oak street and Broadway, the board
failed to decide whether an appeal should
be taken from the verdict Of the district
court jury increasing the value of the lots
condemned $3.50 over the value fixed by the
appraisers in the condemnation proceedings.
The secretary was instructed to deposit the
additional 1850 and the amount of the costs
taxed to the school district with the county
treasurer, with the reservation Of right OF
appeal. This step was decided upon in
order not to delay the work of construction
Of the new school building.
Plans for the new school were submitted
by j. c. Woodward and F.. E. Cox, but the
board failed to reach any decision and the
matter of plans and selecting an architect
was finally referred back to the committee
