APPLES RIPEN
 IN THE CH|LKAT
 VALLEY; CLAIM
Yellow Transparent Variety Sent to Juneau as
 Samples Grown.

That apples will ripen in the Chil kat Valley, near Haines, is demon. strated by samples sent to The Elm pire by J. II. DeBlondeau, Chilkat Valley rancher The apples sent by Mr DeBlondeau are of the Yellow Transparent variety and are of good size and flavor and thoroughly rip ened.
 In a letter of explanation sent about the matter, MT, DeBlondeau said that four years ago he secured 40 young apples trees of various kinds from the Sitka Experiment Station. Ten of them died on ac- count of mice that got under the snow and ate the roots, he says. He has 30 now growing.
 The only variety that has ripened fruit so far are the Yellow Trans parent, which in the South is one of the earliest of apples. One crab apple tree has also had ripened fruit Six of the trees nave never blossomed The Duchess of Olden- burg trees have apples that are fine for cooking purposes, but they never ripen. The Red June variety have but a few apples and the trees crack, according to the rancher. to overcome which he wraps them with sacks.
 Mr DeBlondeau is of the opinion that some apples can be raised with great success in the Chilkat Valley and he will graft some of the trees he already has growing and plant others in the spring. With his trees only planted for four years, he mas

But as for love between the two, Mrs Wallace said that was out of the question. When seeking for matrimony she would have the good taste not to stir up trouble, but would look among men who are unattached.

Playing on the Weak Spot

There Is an old tradition that one of
the easiest ways to obtain the good will
Of a man Is through his stomach. This
game has been played, so the story
goes, with a high degree of success by
many fair damsel to land her hesitat-
ing swain. 1t Is sometimes applied to
attain the success of corporate schemes.
A big deal has never been pulled off
light without the traditional banquet.
To get around the real point of argu-
ment, there was an interesting story
going the rounds on the Street yester-
day that certain enterprise, having
allied to bring a number Of recalcitrant
legislators into their way Of thinking,
hit upon the idea Of making daily trips
Of inspection at the various plants. The
time of each visit was fixed so as to
reach the plants about the feeding hour.
So the inspection of the various plants
was preceded by tempting luncheon.
It is not stated whether any side
asues were served with the menu, but
1t has been discovered by the officer
having charge Of the inspection party
that already a more kindly feeling is
entertained toward the company's prop
ositions, THE TRADER.

Still Afraid Of q Corner

One Of the financial news bureaus
yesterday stated the New York Stock
Exchange again had taken up the ques-
ton of the danger Of a corner ir Mexi-
can Petroleum, which fear unques-
tionably was prompted by the reason OF
the recent spectacular pyrotechnics OF
that versatile speculative football. 1t
stated:
Assistant Secretary Williams, of
the Stock Exchange, notified the Mexi-
can Petroleum Company, 1t is reported
that the Pan American has increased
its holdings OF Mexican Petroleum to
such an extent that there IS not sum >
cient Mexican stock outstanding to per-
nit liquid trading on the Stock Ex-
change II such Is the case, the COM
mittee on the stock list would find 1t
necessary to stop all trading in Mexi-
can Petroleum
Mexican Petroleum officers immedi-
ately telephoned that there was no
change in the situation, so far as the
Mexican Petroleum or the Pan -Ameri-
can Companies we're concerned, and the
number of shares Of Mexican Petroleum
held by the Pan American Company
and the Huasteca Petroleum Company
was exactly as previously reported to
asked to communicate this fact to the
press and the Mexican Petroleum,
Company issued the following state
ment:
"'E. L. Doheny, president of the
Mexican Petroleum Company, Ltd, or
Delaware, authorizes the statement
that, in May and June, 1921, the
Huasteca Petroleum Company, a sub
sidary Of the Pan American Petro-
leum and Transport Company, acquired
approximately 1900 shares of the
common stock of the Mexican Petroleum
Company, and this fact was announced
publicly at the time; and that since
the date of this acquisition, neither
the Pan American, nor any Of it's sub
sidiaries, nor any Of its officers, have
acquired any additional interest in
Mexican Petroleum Company stock"

BUSINESS MORTALITY
October Defaults Were Largest Of
Any Month This Year

The tendency toward increase in
failures that has marked recent week y
rcturns is reflected in the October state
mcnt, which discloses 1913 commercial
defaults in the United States, involving
S53. .O5S $50 Of liabilities. In point Of
number, last months insolvencies are
247, or 1913 per cent, in excess of those
of September, while the October in
debtedness is $4,000, 900, or 43.3 per
cent, heavier than the amount reported
to Il. q. Dun & Co. in the Immediately
preceding month.
Aside from January, when there were
1898 failures. the number Of October
defaults Is the largest of any month this
year, and the liabilities surpass those
Of all months except May, March and
February. The pronounced expansion
in the Indebtedness last month is chiefly
explained by the increase In the liabili-
ties of large insolvencies, which sup
piled considerably more than one half
" the total amount involved. Thus.
the sixty one failures for 100000 or
more in each instance during October
aggregated $20,043,711 altogether.
whereas tho seventy such defaults in
September had an Indebtedness Of about
$1S 900, 900.
soivencies numbered 923 for $3s, Ola
$50, there were fifty four failures Of
unusual size, with liabilities of more
than $25, ,5OO, 900. At this period In
1920 the country's business mortality.
in number of defaults and amount of
indebtedness, was tending sharply up
ward, and current statistics reveal u
narrowing Of the margin Of increase
over the figures of last year. The m
Rolyenccs of October of the present
year, however. are the largest on record
for the month, number and liabilities
both considered.
