APPLE MEN FACE
MARKET COLLAPSE

Martinsburg, W. Va. Sept. IL
The apple market situation in the
Eastern Panhandle has reached an
acute stage. The crop is a splendid
one but the bottom has dropped out
of the market.
Last year Grimes Golden apples
sold for $3.50 and $3.50 per barrel.
This year the prices so far obtain
able have been S5.25 and $3.50 per
barrel. A lack of storage will cause
the growers to place their crops on
the market at whatever prices they
can secure.
The export business from this
section this year will not be large.
Because Of the unsettled conditions
IN Ireland and the threatened coal
strike in England, which is sched-
uled for September 26, the growers
and exchanges refuse to make any
shipments abroad.
