POOR APPLE CROP
AGAIN IN PROSPECT
Early Forecast Indicates Light
Yields in Virginia and
West Virginia.

The June crop report indicates fewer
apples than last year. and even last
year was below average. The poor
set may be made up partly by larger
size, If there is plenty of rain, but at
present the general apple outlook is
rather poor.
AS in the case of peaches, Virginia
and West Virginia appear to have ex-
ceptionally light crops. New York
and Illinois apples show fairly good
condition.: Missouri expects an aver
age crop and Arkansas may have
more apples than usual.
In 13 leading Eastern and Middle
Western States conditions on June l
averaged 81 per cent of a normal crop,
compared with 76 last year and 64.5
average for five years. The principal
Western boxed-apple States reported
Ills per cent. compared with 50 a year
ago and an average of 79 the past five
years. Northern California will have
an unusually light crop.

BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. June 19.-The local
passenger business of the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad is gradually GO
ing to pieces from motor bus competi-
ton, ]. r. Kenly, president, said here.
He expected the road would earn as
much this year as in 1924. Conditions
in Florida were exceedingly good, he
said, and owing to the building activi-
ties in that State the road was bene-
fitting from heavy traffic in building
materials.
No steps had been taken toward
consolidation of the so-called Walters
roads, the Atlantic Coast Line, Louis
Vile and Nashville, and the Nashville.
Chattanooga and st. Louis. he assert
ed, and he doubted If, it would get un-
der way this year.

MARKET CLOSES STRONG.

NEW YORK, June 10 R.-Stock
prices moved upward today, with buy
ing operations on a broader scale.
Sugar shares gave one of the best
demonstrations of group strength, but
bullish operations also were success
fully conducted in a number of mo-
tors, public utilities, oil and special
ties. Total sales approximated L.
$50. 900 shares.
The closing was strong. A sudden
outburst of strength and activity in
the oil shares following announce
ment that Sinclair had won the Tea
