Peaches Plentiful,
But Apple Crop
Shows Up Poorly

PENN YAM, n. Y, Sept. 15.-The New
York State Fruit Growers Association
to-day issued its annual September
report of crop conditions within this
state. From thirty-three counties,
where practically all of the apples are
grown, reports have been received
which make it necessary 10 reduce the
September estimate Of the apple crop
almost 100 pr cent as compared to the
report issued in July. At that time it
was thought there would be Al per cent
yield, but to-day the estimate is but
"a per cent. In Western New York,
where 80 per cent of the apples are
grown, there will be less than a 10 per
cent yield, but in the Hudson River
Valley there will be 80 per cent crop.
The Canadian apple crop will be less
than that of New York State. Mary
land and Virginia report 60 per cent
crop; Pennsylvania, 90 per cent; Con-
necticut, Is per cent; Vermont, SO per
cent; Massachusetts. so per cent; Mich
igan, 40 per cent; Indiana, 40 per cent;
Illinois, 20 per cent, and Iowa, 60 per
cent.
Within the state the pear crop est
mate has advanced since July from AZ
20 81 per cent yield; peaches have
jumped TO SO per cent crop; plums
have advanced 10 70 per cent, or Is per
cent better than two months ago. The
grape average is SIS per cent; cabbage
acreage, l07 per cent; bean acreage,
III per cent, and potato acreage, 10
ppr cent

La Phrase

G.. p. SD What is meant by the
French expression ia phrase" so often
met with in English literature? %
Also, give an example or two of ia
phrase
ia phrase" literally translated
means "thc phrase" but this will not
convey an idea of the meaning in which
the word is being used. The following
parable may better than any explsna-
ton make clear what is understood by
this expression: Lie, one day, came to
Truth and said: Dear Truth, lend me
your mask" 81 have none" answered
Truth. Then Lie went to her sister,
Deception, and asked her to lend her
her mask. 81 need it myself" said De-
ception. Lie then went in despair to
her father, the devil, and implored
him: "Oh. father, get mask for me,
else | must perish" well, my child,
you shall have one" said the devil, and
he invented-la phrase.
(2) William Jennings Bryan's predic-
ton that Americans would, as it were,
rise overnight by the millions in arms
is phrase" Our Presidents famous
apothegm, Zone may be too proud to
fight" is an unhappy phrase" The
assurances of loyalty made by the Ger
man-language newspapers and some
representative German Americans are
phrase" The whole literature of our
pacfsts and socialists in their propa-
ganda for "a peace at any price" is, not
to call it by harsher and more dis
graceful name, phrase" All cam
paign harangues, almost all Fourth Of
July orations, are phrase" You may
find ia phrase" everywhere--in poll
tics, in business, in art. in science, in
ethics, nay, even in the pulpit.

In d ustrials
Cotton

The cotton market showed continued
nervousness and irregularity yesterday,
but business was less active and fuctu-
atoms were not so violent as earlier IN
thc week. December contracts sold up
from zoos 70 20.39 and closed at 2O.l3,
compared with 2O2O at the close on
Friday. September closed at net ad-
vance Of 8 points, but the later deliv-
cries were 8 to IL points net lower,
with October relatively weak.
The market opened under a continu-
alton Of Fiday's late selling movement.
This pressure was stimulated by the
weekend figures, favorable weekend
crop reviews and a report that ship
ping had been attacked by submarines
near the New England coast. Later the
market frmcd up on the storm news.
Covering, by shorts was active Tor
time, with the advance extending Some
10 TO ~ points above Friday nights
closing figures.
The trade was fearful that the storm
reported along the South Atlantic coast
would work inland over SUNDAY. Inc
fresh disturbance reported in the
Caribbean Sea also caused nervousness
lest it might develop threatening as
poets before the reopeping on Monday
morning These uncertainties served
to promote covering by shorts, while
the tendency TO even up commitments
was also increased by uncertainty as
70 Just what sort OF reply Germany
had made to the Pope's peace proposals;
Adyices from the Southwest indicated
continued steadiness in the spot stu
alton. According to prominent dealers
in that section, the demand Tor sep
TENDER shipments has been sufficient
to absorb a comparatively light move
ment and maintain prices above the
2O-cent level. Once this demand has
been filled, and as receipts begin TO IN
crease, they think an easier basis pos
sible. At the moment domestic mills
are said to be holding off so far as
buying against future requirements IS
concerned, but it is the belief in some
quarters that such demand will de-
veiop by the time September engage
ments have been completed. Mills work
inr on government orders are active.
Business otherwise is said to be COM
slow, and Fall River advlccs
predict increasing curtailment TINS
winter if women cannot be found TO
replace male labor in the mills.

Stocks
IBy The Associated prrasl

A diminished demand for stocks led
to resumption Of speculative selling
yesterday, and prices were again de-
pressed, although losses in most in
stances were small. Trading was light,
and the disappearance Of the strength
which characterized Fridays market
Gas due less 20 aggressive bearish tao
tics than 10 absence of support.
At the opening price changes were
small and irregular, with no appear
Gnce Of initiative on either side of the
market. The bears moved with caution
and made little effort 20 influence the
course Of prices until il became ap-
parent that few buying orders were on
hand. Stocks then came on the market
in greater supply and the list eased off.
Quotations stiffened temporarily in the
second hour, but the rally was not held,
the close being heavy.
The renewed heaviness Of the market
apparently was due principally to pro-
fessional selling, although the days
news contributed to this end. Petro-
grad dispatches indicating that new
complications had arisen in the Rus
sian political situation, reports Of the
presence of hostile submarine in the
Western Atlantic and reports that in
dustrial taxation would be largely in
creased tended TO depress the market.
The chief weakness appeared in the
coppers, steels and few other indus
trials. The motors were relatively
strong. In the railroad section opera
tons were light and movements small.
Reading, Louisville and Chesapeake &
Ohio showed strength.
Rates on some foreign centres fuctu-
ated to a degree which is unusual for

ket. Rubles continued TO reflect good

ing ones self when lost in the absence
of compass?
Get the number of hours from mid
night, divide by two and point the hour
at the sun so that the shadow Of a
match or lead pencil falls directly
across the centre of the watch; IL
o'clock will be north, south, 9 west

Der of hours from midnight is 8; one

Suppose it is 6 p. M; number of hours

lead pencil or stick that is we'll pointed
and place it on the thumb nail By
looking closely you will see a faint
shadow, which will give you a very
good idea Of the direction of the sun,
and may be useful to one lost in a

Primary cotton goods markets have
ruled quiet, and with continued cas-
ing in prices of print cloths and some
other unfinished lines. Sales of 3Slc-
inch 64x60s have been made for deiiv-
cry in the first quarter of the year at
as cents a pound, which is 6 cents ur
der the high point reached, and meas
ures the extreme decline in cloth
prices thus far. Sheetings and fine
combed yarn cloths have not followed
the decline, and finished goods lines
are generally firm. Mills still have 4
great many goods under order, and
jobbers report steady distribution.
Retail reports for the week were Of
more encouraging character. Dire IS
cinghams have had a large advance
sale for spring, and many large mills
have withdrawn their lines from the
market. Branded bleached cottons are
quiet and unchanged. Percales have
not been priced for the spring jobbinp
trade, but quotations are looked for at
any time.
The government buying has been
confined largely 10 medical and Red
Cross supplies. Export demand has
quieted down since the decline in cot
ton. and shipments are not readily
made. A readjustment is looked for in
prices following the cotton decline, but
merchants are expecting a fair margin
of profit Cor the mills for some time TO
come.
Quotations are more or less normal,
as follows: Print cloths. 2S-inch
63x64s, ia cents; 64x60s, "a cents;
3S% inch 64x64s. ga cents: brown

Wheat.-The movement Of wheat is
increasing at Western points and Is
expected to result in larger receipts IN
the near future. Receipts at all IN
terror points during the week were
E.476 600 bushels, compared with 4,OSo,-

last year. Mills are expected to be bet
ter supplied in the near future, al
though for the mills in the East it will
probably require some time before
wheat is available except that raised
in the immediate vicinity. Local prices
were unchanged at S2.27 for No 2 red

while offers were larger. Sentiment
was more bearish, the trade being IN
fuencel by favorable weather over the
belt and one of the most promising
forecasts for next week which has been
received for some time. Furthermore,
the cash situation gave evidences OF
weakening. Reports from the West
said that bids were being asked for
from Omaha and Kansas City and that
offers were larger. The Omaha cash.
market declined 10 cents n bushel.
while Kansas City was cents down

COttOnseed Oil Futures.-The market
was irregular yesterday, with the near
positions firm and higher, closing with
net gains of 3 to % points, while the
late months were comparatively heavy,
closing 2 points higher to point net
lower. The spot position was strong
owing to recent sales to the Belgian
Relief Commission, and this, together
with the firmness in lard, had a sus-
tanning influence over the near months.
Prospects Of larger offers Of new crop
crude and uncertainty regarding the
future discouraged buying OF the new

were 1880 barrels.
