APPLE CROP ESTI-
MATES DISCUSSED

In spite of the fact that there will be
no cash buyers or spectators TO enliyen
the apple market this year. and that
the consumption Of a large production
generally throughout the United States
and Canada will be practically confined
to this country on account of the limi-
tations imposed by the European war,
the North Pacific Fruit Distributors
are not inclined to take an altogether
gloomy view Of the outlook for their
affiliated growers.
Material reductions in the apple crop
are being reported by the principal ap-
pie growing districts of the east and
middle west. During the past week the
Distributors have received communica-
tions from New York, Virginia. Michi-
gan, Missouri and Arkansas stating
that the production in those states will
be less than estimated at the time Of
the international Apple Shippers asso-
citation meeting in Boston a month ago
when it was figured that the total out
put would reach $4,000, 600 barrels.
One feature of the recent decrease is
that the No. stock has been most
effected. An inspection of the western
New York apple orchards reveals that
the quality there has been lowered and
is proving a disappointment to both
growers and dealers. UnfavorRble
weather and insect pests are largely
responsible for this change. Similar
conditions are said to obtain in both
Virginia and West Virginia. In Michi-
gan the crop is irregular, according to
sTfa
have prevented proper development in
Missouri, while cool. damp weather has
caused scab and blotch to appear in
Arkansas and has cut down the quanti-
ty Of storage grades.
In the northwest although the quail.
ity still remains excellent, the crop has
fallen off 10000 cars, approximately
10 per cent, since blossom time, or at
least is that much short of the early
estimates. The figures compiled at
the time of the blossom period were
from 20, 900 to 25, 900 cars, an average
ranging somewhere around %, 500 cars.
Later the estimate dropped to between
5000 and II, 500 cars. Now after the
most comprehensive canvass it is
placed at 1850 cars.
ms information Is given out by the
Distributors to the growers to indicate
that there is no cause for utter dscour-
agement at this time. especially upon
the part OF those who have placed their
crop in the hands of a marketing
agency sufficiently extensive in scope
to exercise an orderly control of the
market situation. A certain stability
is creeping into the apple situation
which did not exist few weeks ago,
as the result of the Distributors COM
manding position in the apple deal this
year with over half of the apple ton
mage pledged to them.

War and Trade

With the outbreak of hostilities in
Europe it was natural to expect trade
depression, but never has the business
man, the wide world over, experienced
conditions as are existing at present.
One would imagine that the merchant
in Japan would be able to take advant-
age of the war in Europe and reap a
nice little harvest in certain quarters.
No doubt some are, but there are.many
firms in Japan who find opportunities
for doing business with America, for
instance, but are prevented through in
ability to make use of the usual finan-
cial facilities to which they have been
accustomed. The toy trade in the
United States is one opportunity, and
there are many others that might be
taken advantage of at present by the
foreign exporter if conditions were not
so abnormal. Raw silk, habutae, etc,
have received a tremendous set back,
the decrease in exports for Yokohama,
running to seven figures as compared
with the same preiod Cten days. in

FLYING FOXES OF INDIA.
During the Day They Sleep In Trees,
Hanging Head Downward.


Hanging Head Downward.
People who have lived in India are
familiar with the long strings of flying
foxes which can often be seen vending
their way in single file from their
sleeping places in remote trees to the
fruit gardens upon which they prey.
These curious creatures, says writ
er in the Wide World Magazine, some
times measure as much as four feet
across the wings and have reddish
brown fur and mole colored wings.
After their nocturnal depredations they
fly away with the dawn to a tree in
some isolated place and there rest dur
ing the day. hanging head downward
from the bOughs in the manner Of bats,
clutching the branch with their feet.
As the flying foxes gather on the tree
selected there is tremendous cOmmo-
ton, for each newcomer Is vigorously
driven off from one place after another
until he eventually manages to secure
a perch for himself. Those on the tree
meanwhile keep up an incessant wran-
Cling. each endeavoring 10 secure the
highest and best place to rest on.
Sometimes many hundreds Of these de-
struCtive creatures may be seen hang
ing from the branches of large tree.
When opportunity offers they are Of.

slider their flesh delicacy, though it
hardly appeals to Europeans,

COLONIAL THEATRE.
Daughters of Men, Magnificent Fiv.
 Reel Seoiety Feature Film.

Following closely upon the trernen- dous success, TheNLion and the Mouse, comes The Daughters of Men, the fea- ture extraordinary at the Colonial the atre for today only. It is presented by the sane big cast that made a success of The Lion and the Mouse, and ex- ploits as one of its many features a wonderful society ball and reception at which one of the features is 8 min iatsrre fahs of champagne upon which float tiny gold boats propelled by the fans of the guests. As an added ex- travagance a worid-famous and ex- ceedingiy fair diving girl shows her talents in this sparkling pool. Lillie Leslie. Ethel Clayton. Gaston Bell and a dozen other film favorites play in the leads, and the scenery and settings are beautiful beyond description. It is distinctly a society drama and as . consequence the gowns and society functions are without number as well as exceedingly handsome. This is one of the mammoth features that Man aser McNulty is presenting his patrons and because of the added expense of these features, the prices will be 10c for the matinee and for the evening 3 15c.
 The stirring episodes follow each other closely and as the cast is an immense one, the plot is correspond ingly complex. It is earnestly sug gested that all patrons be in their seats upon the opening of the photo play, same as in dramatic house, thereby preventing any loss of the re- markable story.
