5(O,ODO-BUSHE[
APPLE SHORTAGE
Maryland Crop Forecast Put
Yield Far Under 1923
Figures.
Special Dispatch 10 The Star.

BALTIMORE. September 10. -
Maryland's apple crop this year will
be nearly 100000 bushels short of the
1923 crop according to John S. Den
nee, Federal crop statistician at Balti-
more.
"A crop of only 1,S45,000 bushels is
forecast, according to reports as of
September !, according to a statement
given out today by Mr.. Dennee, and
Of this total it is estimated about
$4,000 barrels will be commercial.
Total production last year was esti-
mated to be 100000 bushels; 100000
barrels OF this total, 1t is estimated,
moved into consuming channels.
Apple in northern and western
Maryland counties were adversely af-
fected by the cold, wet spring. says
the statistician, and that prevented
proper pollination, in the opinion of
many growers. On the Maryland
Eastern Shore growing conditions
were more favorable and a some
what larger crop was realized here.

Treasury's Plans Mean Lively
Times in New York Banks.

NEW YORK, September 13.-An
unusually heavy turnover of funds in

trict is expected next Monday as a

pected to handle the bulk of principal
and interest payments on Liberty
bonds and Treasury certificates, which
may total $500.00O,O00. Receipt for
the new Treasury notes will approxi-
mate $400,000.000, and about $780,

NATIONS PAYING BILLS.

NEW YORK, September 13.-The
infrequency of default in interest
payments on foreign loans, according
to banking statisticians, is empha-
sized by the fact that the total of
$9,26S,4 100000 in foreign obligations
in default at present is made up al
most entirely of Russian and Mexican
government issues. Eventual resump-
tion of interest payments on a part
of Russia's $500. 900 debt is con
sidered possibility, while the sus-
pension of an agreement with Mext-
can bondholders Is held to be only
temporary.
