GROWERS BEARISH
Many Shippers Anxious to Dispose
of Fruit at Prevailing Prices
Potatoes Steady.

Seattle Nov. 29.-Receipts of ap-
pies at Seattle this week have ex-
Iceeded all records of the season. no
less than 50 carloads having reached
the city since Monday. A large
number of cars are on track, mas
much as dealers have their ware
houses full already Nobody looks
for higher prices. but shippers ap-
pear to be more bearish at present
than dealers. The former in some
sections are extremely anxious to
sell their fruit at prevailing coast
prices. Most commission men. how
ever. advise shippers to store their
fruit
TIE potato market was steady.
The trend of prices now hinges
largely on the weather. If condi-
lions are such that growers can ship.
dealers look for we'll supplied mar
ket. In case of a cold snap ship
ments are likely to be checked, and
it would occasion no surprise 20 the
trade if holders in the city should
lift their prices.
The fruit market is steady at I'M
changed prices" says the latest cir
cular of the Northwestern Fruit
Exchange. There is slightly more
active inquiry in some directions.
but inquiry continues to be confined
to the low priced hard winter. and
the high priced varieties like Spitz-
enbergs are still neglected. and are
selling at no better prices than the
eastern market, and very little prom
Use for wide advances. The demand
is just sufficient to avoid accumula-
ton, and we are keeping pace with
shipments, which are. however, now
falling off.
We report the following sales:
Extra fancy Delaware Reds, S1.25:
fancy. S1.10; extra fancy Rome
Beauty, s1.35: Baldwins. $1.1O;

lahoma; IL, 4. letter Stayman
Winesaps at straight price of s1.35
f. o. b. Peshastin. to buyer in Texas
This sale represents the very tip-top
of the Stayman Winesap market. In
New York they are not bringing more
than $1.75 for the very best, which
is equivalent to about 81 f. o. b. with
charges off. 1t will be seen then
that we are exceeding the large mar
ket nets very materially by avoiding
them and working the smaller
towns

GOVERNORS HOLD
CONFERENCE

Frankfort. ky.. Nov. 29.-The new
today of the assemblage of many of
the most distinguished figures in the
political life of the nation. The oc-
casion was the opening of the annual
session of the national conference of
governors, which was inaugurated as
d regular yearly event during the
Roosevelt administration The pur-
pose of the initial conference called
by President Roosevelt was to dis
cuss the problem of national conser-
walton. This topic also has a promi-
nent place on the programme of the
present conference, but in addition
there will be numerous other ques-
tons of nationwide interes dis
cussed. Uniform divorce laws and
laws for the regulation and control
of corporations will be considered,
and the governors will also exchange
views on prison reforms, initiative
and referendum and other problems
of the day that are of common inter-
est and importance to all the States.
At the opening Of the conference
this morning more than thirty states
were represented by their chief eX-
ecutiyes or conferres appointed by
them. Among those present were
several of the governors-elect who
will not take the oath of Office until
the first of the year, but who were
especially invited to attend the con-
ference. The forenoon was given
o~er largely to the work of organi-
cation, the exchange of greetings
and the completion of the programme
for the subsequent sessions. In cor
dial addresses delivered by Governor
Wilson and Mayor Polsgrove the
visiting governors were welcomed to
the State of Kentucky and the City Of
Frankfort. Following the adjourn
ment of the mo- ming session the Wis
itOrs were entertained at luncheon at
the home of Col. L. H. Taylor A
reception at the'executive mansion to-
night concludes the programme so far
as Frankfort Is concerned. as Louis
Vile is 10 entertain the governors at
their subsequent sessions. beginning
with that of tomorrow morning.

The card he left behind was that of a well known
broker IN Chicago The younger members of the
family searched industrOusv for the ring for an
hour; but could find trace of it. About dusk that
evening as they seated on the porch after sup

thing up. The householder hastened out and found
him examining ring in which was what appeared to
be a large diamond. The man offered the tramp
first five then ten, and finally seventy-five dollars
for the ring, the latter being about all he
happened TO have in the house at the time. At the
latter figure the tramp consented to surrender the
ring though asserting the opinion that it was worth
a lot more
