PUBLIC IN THE DARK
ABOUT APPLE CROP
New York Growers Say Industry
Is Menaced by Dealers
Attitude.

NEW YORK, August 23.-While
consumers in this city continue to pay
fancy prices for apples, upstate fruit
growers have complained to market
officials here that the price offered
them by the dealers is not sufficient
to cover the expenses of picking. Up
state growers assert that the apple
industry in this state, by far the
greatest apple-growing state in the
Union, is being seriously threatened
on account of the low prices offered
by the dealers. who, in turn, exact
fancy prices from their customers.
Commissioner of Public Markets Ed
win j. O'Malley few days ago re-
ceived telegram from growers at
Morton. n. Y. in which an appeal
was made that something be done to
assure better price to the producers.
and at the same time save the apple
crop for the consumers.
New York state. it is estimated, will
produce upward of one-fifth of all the
apples grown in the United States
this year. Arrivals of apples in this
city from all sections including points
outside of the state. up to last Tues
day, were 3,262 cars, as compared
with 1854 cars for the same period
last year. Notwithstanding the big
greater quantity awaiting shipment,
the prices to the consumer continued
very high.
An instance of the high prices to the
consumer is shown by the statement
that apples that cost the dealer 2-3
cents a pound We're retailing at Is
cents pound. Later they were re-
duced to 10 cents pound. which. he
remarked. was still entirely too much
In other sections they are selling at
even higher prices.
The total apple crop for the United
States for commercial purposes for
1920 was estimated by the United
States Department of Agriculture to
be 100000 barrels more than last
year.

SOUTHWESTERN BONDS
SHOW MORE STRENGTH

NEW YORK, August 23.-The rising
tendency in the railway bond list
continued in today's market. Just as
in the case of stocks, it was the low
priced and more speculative issues
that were favored. st. Louis and
Southw estern consolidated As rose a
point, equaling their recent high.
These bonds mature in 1892 and if
held to maturity will return the

ment of the southwestern oil coun-
try and as estimates on what the
stocks of the company would be able
to show this year are running very
looked upon as one of the most at
tractiye of the emi-speculatiye
groups.
st. Louis and San Francisco issues
were also very strong, with new high
prices for both the 6 per cent adjust
ments and the per cent incomes; The
former rose point to 6212, while the
incomes reached so for the first time
since the syndicate successfully dis
tributed the former French holdings.
There is a per cent coupon due on
these bonds in October which makes
them attractive from a speculative
standpoint
ID. & II. Issues Strong.
Delaware and Hudsons We're the
strongest of the equipment group,
selling point higher than Saturday

strong again today. marlborough
Rapid Transit rose 43, but the real
leader was the Third Avenue adjust

weeks final of 20.

U. S. SHIPPING TONNAGE

LONDON, August % (by the Asso-

Invites. AMOUNTS to $4,000.
There is a reduction in sailing tom
mage since pre-war days of $4,000
tons, a much smaller decrease than in
any previous siX-year period and
doubtless accounted for, says the Reg
lister. by the shortage of other ton
mage having given new life to the
construction of sailing vessels. The
United States, the only country which
has Increased sailing tonnage since
1914, now owns over 43 per cent OF
the worlds sailing tonnage.
