MARKET IS CHECKED
BY Loss OF TANKER

New York, Aug. 14.--Sinking of
Pan American Petroleum tanker a few
miles off Sandy Hook checked the stock
market today when 1t was moving
bravely into new high levels. Rail-.
roads were strong but specialties were
distinguishing themselves when the
sinking was announced Steel had
been something OF a laggard but even
SO was strong. The latter part OF the
day saw a nominal stock market.
The sinking OF this ship is not
matter OF financial Importance to this
company but the sinking so close to
New York is important to all COM
panies. The ship was fully insured
and was torpedoed in such shallow
water that 1t will probably be anoat
before the end of the week. II 10 not
expected that the ship will lose more
than one or two cargo voyages as
result of the sinking. So as a market

1t is not worth considering. Stock OF
the company was strong at the time

Californis oranges, better known
as the 'seedless" variety, are hardly
to be had in Harrisburg, and a con-
tinued scarcity if not an actual
famine, of the fruit is anticipated by
wholesale fruit dispensers here.
This wa sthe opinion of two of the
this morning.
As a result of the scarcity, con-
sumers are paying twice as much for
California oranges as they did at this
time last year. A box of California
Gold nuggets" which arrived in the
city yesterday was deposed of at
$3.50 wholesale. 4 guar ago a
similar box would have sold for $3.50
t. the retailer.
Fruit dealers give three reasons
for the shortage of seedless oranges.
In the first place the car shortage
has cut down the shipments of or
anges from California fruit dealers
to almost nothing. The long haul
from the Pacific to the Atlantic
coast is also cutting down ship
ments of oranges TO eastern markets.
The length of time required in the
transit from California to local mar
kets in ordinary conditions is IA
days. Ordinarily the oranges can
stand this amount of refrigerating
without i'll effects. But under pres
ent freight condition the oranges are
sometimes in transit from 80 to 40

definite legal authority, instead or
the advisory capacity in which 1t
now serves.
The war industries board Will con-
tinue to operate AS at present until
the Overman bill shall be passed.
The Presidents official advisers say
Bernard NJ. Baruch. at present the
acting chairman of the board. Will
be appointed to the chairmanship to
succeed Daniel willard, who resign
ed more than month ago to direct
the management of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. of which he is
president. Mr.. Baruch's appointment
may be announced within day or
two. The delay has been due to
the discussions between the Presi-
dent and his cabinet, chiefly Secre-
tary of War Baker, over the fur
ther steps contemplated in the re-
organization of the War Department.
If the Overman bill is enacted and
the President is privileged to ignore
the present statutes requiring pur-
chases by the various departments
and in turn their different bureaus
and divisions, an office bearing 4
relation to industry similar to that
which Herbert c. Hoover occupies
in relation to food and DT Harry a.
Garfield in respect to coal may be
created Such an industrial admin
istrator or dictator would be the Of
fetal link between the government
and the industries of the nation, and
many persons close to the President
say Mr.. Baruch will step from the
Craftsmanship of the War Industries
Board into that position.

days. To use the words of q local
receiver, when they arrive they are
in an Extremely depIorable con-
dition.
Severe Frost
Added to the difficulties of trans
portation, is the fact that an almost
unprecedently severe frost in Cali
fornia fruit regions during Decem-
ber cut the orange crop fifty per
cent, say local dealers. This is
forcing California shippers to sell
their oranges locally.
The time is rapidly approaching.
say Harrisburg wholesalers, when it
will be impossible to secure seedless
oranges in the eastern markets. This
is because California dealers will no
longer take the risk of shipping
their choice oranges. only to have
them spoil in transit.
The crop from Porto Rico and
Florida is normal. dealers says, but
this variety of oranges only aggre-
gates so per cent of the total or
ange sale in this vicinity. For this
reason the price of Florida and
Porto Rico oranges has jumped al
most 100 per cent. The same or
anges that sold year ago for $3.50,
are now selling for $3.50, dealers
say.
ITO tell the honest truth" said
dealer this morning, "Oranges aren't
worth a third what they're selling
for, but what are we to do?"
