LOW PRICES SET

PORTLAND, OREG., Nov. S.
While the Northwestern Fruit Ex-

several cars of extra fancy Spleen
burg apples at So per box (, o. b.

hatchee and some of the other dis
tricts are freely offering this same va

only being lost by the growers of
those sections, but they are making
it mighty hard to keep the price of
apples from dropping.
Just why some of the apple ship
ping interests of the Pacific North

fruit in such a good year as this
without the aid Of expensive outside
brokers, Is a mystery to those who
have been able to sell most of their
offerings at extreme values. A wire

FAIR BUSINESS
DUE To COTTON
New York Manufacturers Fast Re-
covering, and Prospects Are
Unusually Good.

NEW YORK, Nov. S.--The con-
verters and handlers of fine goods
have just done a fair October bust
ness, and on the whole their clients
have little 10 complain of in the vol
ume Of trade that has been sent along
to them. The question of prices is
not one that invites much talk, as 1t
Is admitted that costs of production
are ruling high, and it Is difficult to
induce buyers to pay advances on
goods wanted for late delivery. The
mills that have been making fancy
goods In volume are going to show Il
moderate profit if they have been
properly handled but the mills that
are selling plain goods are not get
ting proportionate advance for
cloths to take care of the added costs
arising from higher cotton and other
things.
What is true of fine goods is true of
other lines in varying degrees. The
adjustment of prices to the levels that
are warranted by cotton costs is not
rapid, and 1t is not being welcomed
in the trade beyond the mills.
The buyer at the counter will pay
an extraordinary figure for novelty
fabric and one quite out of range with
the actual cost of the goods to either
handler or producer, but when the
same buyer is asked to paw fair ad-
vance on the price of a staple there
are objections urged at once,
The scarcity of many goods for
quick delivery is helping to bring
about the readjustment that must
come, yet there are many goods
bought at low prices which are still
due, and those who will get them will
be slow to make proper provision for
replacement on lac cotton level as
against an lie level.
Status of Market.
That the market Is making up on
a higher level with the quiet of gray
goods acknowledged is not disputed
by either buyers or agents. To what
extent 1t will be affected by the cur
rent doubts in financial markets con-
corning the maintenance of purchas-
ing power next year is the real prob
lem to which many merchants are de-
voting themselves.
The underwear markets are an ex-
ample of the situation that exists.
Under all the rules of merchandising
the underwear mills should receive an
advance of 10 per cent on their last
years values. This they know the
can not do, and they are accepting
prices or discussing prices as low as
5 per cent up and rarely as high as
III per cent. In the case of wool
goods where the possibilities of ma
nipulation are many the actual price
advance does not count so much.
Good Linen Business.
There is good business going on
in linens. The importers are very
busy shipping goods that are now
coming forward more freely from the
other side, and buyers are supplying
their needs for the holidays and Janu-
airy sales.
There has been much better call
this week for the so-called ramie
dress linens and for many Of the low
grades of domestic linens.
The burlap markets are weaker.
There has been break in the specu-
lative conditions that have controlled
the primary markets in Calcutta, but
thus far 1t has been confined to the
finished goods rather than to raw
lutte

BEAVER DAM, WIS, Nov. 8.-Henry
L. kreuger, of Beaver Dam, who is
