Cheap Apples-Perhaps

From the Chicago Journal.
The apple crop OF the United States this
year is estimated at 6O.OOO.OOO barrels.
Yet let no small boy hurrah too loudly
over the prospect OF cheap apples. Those
apples are not gathered yet, and the re-
turns may he several million barrels
short Of the estimates. Quite a quantity
will go abroad. where prices are always
high: and these will be the best OF the
whole crop.
Even as it stands. the estimates would
give but a little over half barrel pei
capita to the dwellers Of this land and
where is the lad who could not eat many
times that quantity in nine months-fi
he got the chance?
In 1896 the actual apple crop OF this
country was almost exactly what the
estimates give for this years crop. And
in that year apples were cheap-in the
country. City dwellers found them fairly
dear.
Since then the country has added more
than 2D.MNC.0 to its population The av-
erage prosperity. while leaving much to
be desired. is still greater than In that
year, when the aftermath OF '03 was still
with US. The export trade has increased,
and the demand for fruit at home has IN
creased in yet larger measure.
Apples will be cheaper than they We're.
no doubt: but there Is no fear OF their
OVERRIDING il.

FOREIGN BANKS.

LONDON. August 29.-The rate of dis
count at the Bank of England was raised
from :; to per cent today.
The bank raised it's rate as a protective
measure against the inrush OF bills.
Although the institution is in strong
position to meet the gold exports to
Egypt the increasing number of Amer
lean and other finance bills being offered
made the money market nervously raise
its discount rates. thus forcing bills into
the Bank of England. This necessitated
the raising Of the bank rate a month
earlier than was the case last year.
The Indebtedness of the market to the
bank in consequence Of the heavy dis
counting Is expected to enable the CEN
trail institution to make its higher rate
effective.

Total reserve increased, fSS6.O0o.
