bHG troubles Win Tie NlTSfiiia dpPiC'
is that many of them 90 on the marke
without any protection of the govern
ment inspection. This policy, he stat
ed, hurts the apple grower who grades
aud packs his apples according Il
government rules as we'll as the one
who does not.
j. H. Meek, chief of the Virgins
Marketing Bureau, and H. w. Samp
ton, of the Inspection Bureau of the
Federal government, told the growers
of the policy of their departments
They brought out the point that the
Federal government does its in
spection at the time the fruit or othel
products are loaded and inspects car
loads lots. Mr.. Sampson statet
arrangements could be made by which
an informed appleman could be desig
mated as Federal inspector, who will
the state inspectors could inspect a
the time of the pack, The point wa.
then made to have the state inspector.
could inspect at the time of the pack.
The point was then made to have the
state inspectors authorized by the
Federal government to Judge the pack
according to Federal rules also. This
discussion resulted in trying to obtain
joint Federal and state inspection.
The resolution adopted by the in
formal meeting called upon the State
Horticultural Society to organize the
groups for Standardization of packing
President Vance, of the State Society,
was present and he called meeting OF
the directors and they decided to un-
dertake this task and try organize the
whole Virginia apple belt for stan
dardized pack for next fall.
AT the same time, Senator Byrd, E.
d. Ninniger, of Roanoke, and E. M.
Wayland, of Crozet, were appointed a
committee to devise ways and means
to advertise the Virginia apples. This
committee will advise the buyers in the
markets, where the Virginia apple
has suffered because of its nonuni
form and non-standardized pack, that
the fruit is now packed and graded
according TO the Federal government
rules and the purchaser can feel as
sured that what he buys is truthfully
on the barrel.
This movement to standardize the
pack and to advertise the Virginia
apple, it is declared by a number of
growers, will have tremendous in
fluence in winning the Old Dominion
fruit tits proper place in the sum-"
The general plan of the Western
fruit growers will be more or less
followed. The Virginia growers, like
the Western growers, have the legal
machinery to put in operation legal
lied standard pack through the Byrd
bill passed several years ago. All they
haveto do is to set up the inspection
machinery like the Frederick county
growers have done.
The Northwest apples, grown in
Washington state, Oregon and Idaho,
are perhaps the best known apples in
this country due to advertising. If the
Virginia growers launch such an adj
vertising policy, there is reason TO be-
lieve their apples. on account of flavor
and quality, will soon enjoy the
greatest demand of any fruit, and with
the advantage of proximity TO markets
they will reap the best of trade.

Virginia Recognized Leader,

| ieducI dmObS TUT oohthS.
Estates was made when William
lG. Shrine, president of the
Southern Exposition, named
tGovernor E. Lee Trinkle hon.
orary president of the organi-
lzation. Virginia plans to play
a prominent part in the expo
sition, which in February of 1925
| will plant in the heart of New
York City a complete display of
tile wonderful resources and OPP
portunities of the South. Cover
nors of other Southern States
have been named honorary vice
presidents.
Here where millions Of East
erners and Westerners come
annually Virginia and her sister
States will gather together a
| great exhibit of commercial,
mineral, and agricultural wealth
in an effort to bring to their
territories new capital and new
citizens TO share in the great
prosperity, on the Threshold OF
which the South now stands.
Under the direction Of Joseph
H. Smith, of Petersburg, chair
man of the Virginia Exposition
com mittee, drive will begin this
week to interest Virginia in
dustries in the Exposition and to
get their support of the move
mcnt. The Exposition is not a
money making scheme, and all
funds over the sums necessary TO
paw expenses, including money
made on the exhibits, will be
refunded.
June 1 has been set as the date
on which all exhibits must be re-
gistered and the space tabulated,
and with the aid of the chambers
of commerce of the State drive
to increase Virgi MAS allotment
is now under way.
With manufacturing values of
more than $500, 100000, and a
vast mineral wealth, yet almost
untouched, but now with an out
put of close to $50, 100000 an
nually, a truck crop alone worth
100000 year, Governor
Trinkle said yesterday that the
Commonwealth should have the
feature exhibit of the entire Ex-I
position.
Il am glad that the business
interests of Virginia are actively
joining with you in having Vir-|
ginia's assets properly portrayed
at the exposition" Mr.. Trinkle
told President JOSEPH H. Smith
of the Virginia Chamber of Com
merce Yesterday. my only re-
greet is that your plans provide
for only temporary and not a
permanent Southern Exposition.
| would like for Virginia to join
with the Southern States in
maintaining permanent exhibit
in New York City, and hope
that the Virginia State Chamber
| of Commerce will use its in
fuence not only in having Vir-l
ginia properly represented at the
exposition next February, but in
| the establishment and maintain
ance of a permanent Southern
Exposition at New YORK,
With only about ten days left
| in which to take entries in the
Exposition, and with many of
the big industries, cooperative
org anizations, civic bodies and
com nercial corporations that
should be represented not heard
from chambers of commerce
throughout the State have been
asked to urge these bodies to
immediately declare themselves.
Manufacturers wishing to obtain

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS. April 2.--The cotton market after opening 22 to 25 points lower unfavorable Liverpool caples and fair weather map, eased off a few ponits ad- ditional in the early trading on the weekly vorable.
 After trading at 2sOsc for May. 2sssc for July. and 24.32c for October, or 26 close, the. market advanced and the trend was upward practically all day. particu- iarly on1 old crop positions. the high points trading at 29.14c. July at 27.ssc, and Oc- tober at 24c. or 100 to 1l2 points up from the low on old crops and 6S points up on Oc- tober. The market eased off some from the best in the final trading on realizing, and the close showed net gains for day of 62 to 71 points on old crop months and IS to IS on the new crops.
 The start was easier on poor cables the reported closing of a few mills Nin Georgia and rumors of further labor troubles in England. A dry weather map also helped the initial moderate decline. While the first impression of the weekly weath9f report was that it was favorable, traders soon took more bullish view were late and the weather too cold to facilitate gernlination. There were also indications of unsettled weather follow ing the present cool speel, and the fore cast was for warmer temperatures- The market promptly rallied on these influ- ences and prices continued to improve steaoIy during the morning, with occa- sional reactions. Shorts covered freely and during the afternoon the market de- veloped sharp upward trend. particu- larly on old crop positions, which carried these months $6 bale above the early lows. The stimulating influences included reports of the best trade in Manchester since the close of the World war. A iurtner advance in francs and firmness of foreign exchange generally, and a report mat the Dawes report provided for a foreign loan of a million gold marks to establish a German gold bank.
 Tire was also a rumor that the Rank or England would reduce its discount rate

COVERING CAUSE
 OF COTTON RISE
Market Quickly Turns Higher After Slump Of
 19 To B Points

NEW YORK, April 2.--Renewal of covering by near months shorts sent the price of May contracts up from 2S.04c to 29.01c in today's cotton mar ket. May closed at 28.9Sc, with the general market closing firm at net ad- vances of 16 to .62 points.
 The market opened easy at decline of 19 to B points and sold about 30 to 33 points net lower during the first few minutes, owing to relatively easy Liv- erpool cables and more favorable wealth CT reports. Offerings were compara- lively light, however, and the market soon turned upward on reports of an increasing demand for cotton goods in Manchester, more favorable reports from the domestic goods trade and bull ish spot advices. There was active buy ing of both May and July for New Or leans and western account on the ad- vance which followed and a moderate trade demand accompanied by rumors that some hedges were being covered against cotton goods.
 July advanced to 27.95c and October to 24.70c in the late trading, when old crop positions showed net gains of GO to 85 points and the new crop was 16 to 30 points net higher. The close was within few points of the best.

 CLIMB ON CURB.
High-Priced Oils Make Sharp Gain, With A
 Broadening Tendency

NEW YORK, April 2.--stock pricea continued upward in today's curb market with sharp gains in some Nof the high priced oil shares. A slightly broadening tendency was noted, partic- ularly in the speculative issues.
 A sudden burst of activity and strength, in New Mexico Land, which touched d new 1924 high, at 10, fea- tured the oil group: Gains of 1 to 2 points were recorded by Prairie Oil and Gas, Humble, Ohio Oil and Standard of Kansas, while Borne & Scrymser, Chesebrough Manufacturing, Standard Oils of Nebraska and Ohio and Swan & Finch jumped to.49 points.
 Few changes of importance - took place in the industrial group, American Light and Traction and Durant Motors being among the few outstanding strong spots,

CORN LEADS RISE
 IN GRAIN VALUES
Receipts Smallest Of Sea- son And Talk Is Heard
 Of May Reaching $1

CHICAGO, April 2.-Corn led gen eral advance today in the value of grain. Receipts of corn here were the smallest so far this season and there was talk that the May delivery might vet reach $1 a bushef. Corn closed firm, % to 1c net higher; May, 1878 to 79c. Wheat also finished firm, ss to % to .7sc up; May $1.O2A to S1.O2A @1 1.02ss, and July $1.03A, with oats at 1A to 1c advance and provi- sions varying from Tc decline to q rise of Dc.
 Notwithstanding normal weather, fresh arrivals of corn in. Chicagto to- day stotaled p carloads and canvass indicated that five of the leading houses had fewer than dozen cars of corn in transit to this market. Meanwhile country offerings were virtually noth- ing and it was said considerable corn had been put under charter for ship ment when lake traffic opens. Besides, it was contended that feeding of corn to hogs promised more profit than of late and that field work by farmers would render unlikely, for some time any big corn movement.
 Price climbing in, corn began almost as soon as business opened. Subse- quent gains were steady and the final figures within quarter cent of the days top level. Oats were stronger in sym pathy with corn and on further re- ports of delayed seeding.
 Wheat was unsettled, being easier early but then developing strength aft CT other grain had shown decided inde. pendence. The wheat rally. was. ascribed in part to gossip that France was buy. ing under cover. Mill withdrawals of wheat in store here counted also as stimulating factor.
 Increased stocks of lard here and lower quotations on hogs eased the pro. visions market.

STOCKS IMPROVE;
 TRADING HLIGHT
Bears, Discouraged, Sus- pend Attacks While
 Longs Are Cautious

NEW YORK. April 2-Stock prices improved further today, but trading continued in relatively small volume. Professional bears, apparently dis couraged by their recent failure to dis lodge stocks for covering purposes, sus- pended their attacks, while operations on the long side were rather cautious. That speculative actions of the market will make a favorable response. to the Dawes report, which probably will be made public this week, was reflected in the strength of stocks likely to ben eft by an amicable settlement of the troublesome separations issue.
 Revival of interest in. copper was based on prospective foreign buying or ders. American Smelling was the leader of the group, closing nearly points higher at 61. Most of the others i'm proved fractionally. American Zinc issues were strong.
 Speculative interest in the railroad group was divided between the Erie and St. Paul issues, buying of both be- ing predicated on large current earn ings. St. Paul preferred touched a new high for the year at 30A, while Erie common and first preferred closed ap- proximately 6 point higher at 25% and 335s respectively. Other strong spots in that group were Southern Pacific, up PA points to 80, and Northern Pa eific and Chesapeake and Ohio, each of which advanced about point.
 Steel shares rallied slightly on pub lication of weekly trade reviews, esti- mating that March ingot production would equal that of last April, the 1923 peak month. U. s. Cast Iron Pipe rallied 21a points on short covering. Studebaker moved up IFS on President Erskine's statement that the company should earn the $10 this year, with a 50 per cent margin to spare. -,--
 General Electric climbed more than 3 points to 223H, despite offical de- nial that there would be any stock split up. Reynolds Tobacco B, weak yesterday, rallied more than points. Marked improvement also was regis tered by other tobacco shares. Oils held firm with greatest activity in the low-priced issues, particularly trans continental, being based on reports of increased operations. American Tele- phone rallied another 11a points to 126%.
 Call money opened at Az per cent, but dropped to 4 after noon. Little change was apparent. in the time money market, short-term loans ruling at Az per cent and the longer maturities at 4%.
 Prime commercial paper was un- changed at A.
 Establishment of new high records by French and Belgian francs, the for mer crossing 6 cents, featured the for eign exchange market. Profit taking was noted, however, in the Italian, Swiss, Spanish and Scandinavian cur 'rencies.
