WINCHESTER. Va, February IL
One barrel Of extra fancy Stayman
Winesap apples. packed three and a
half inches minimum size by John NJ.
Fishpaw OF Clarke County, have been
sold for $3.50 to a Lexington, KY,
broker, who in turn sold the apples
to retailer. according to word re-
ceived by Mr.. F1shpaw today. The
apples were packed merely to test
the market on large-eized fruit.
This is the highest priced barrel
OF Staymans that has been sold in the
United States this year. II we do not
miss our guess" said Hurst & Co,
dealers who handled the sample bar
rel. IF 1t were possible to grow and
pack apples OF this character they
would always sell at a premium on
any market. We believe 1t would
pay big dividends to thin apples on
trees that are too heavily set to
fruit in order that the size OF the
fruit left on the trees may be In
creased. SO that 1t will make an ex-
ira fancy grade"

HOPES TO WIPE OUT
/ | STREET CAR ROWS
New "Czar" Opposes Fights
With Bus Lines-WiIl Urge
i! Amalgamation.
BY j. O. ROYLE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 17.-Aban-
donment of useless battles-that Is
what the street railway men all over
the country see as a result of the ap-
potntment of Lucius S. Storr of New
Haven as mentor of the traction lines
OF the Nation. Practically every cleo
trio railway line in the United States
has fight on its hands of some kind,
either to secure adequate financing, to
adjust taxation, to change fares. to
alter wage schedules or to meet bus
competition. The executive committee
OF the American Electric Railway AS
ISOLATION, which appointed Storr, un-
coubtedly expects he will be able to
steer the public service companies out
of unnecessary complications.
Leader In His Line.
The industry has scores Of expert
engineers and statisticians, but his
associates say Storrs was the only
man about whom they could say take
your problem to Storrs; he's already
solved it, Mr.. Storrs has been known
as one Of the most progressive men
in the electric railway game. AS head
of the Connecticut Company, which op-
crates nearly all the electric lines in
that State, he has been singularly
successful in applying modern meth
ods OF financing and operation and
in amalgamating trolley and bus lines.
Busses Great Problem.
Bus competition right now Is one
Of the largest problems the traction
companies have to solve. There is
every indication from his past per-
formances with the Connecticut Com
pany that Mr.. Storrs will advocate
absorption of the bus systems and
their operation as feeders and ad-
juncts to the electric lines rather
than long -drawn-out and expensive
competition. 1t is notable in this
connection that the large bus in
terests all over the country have
great confidence in the new GEAR
of the fractions"
The menace of the bus cannot be
overlooked. Over 10000 new busses
will be built and put into commits
sion this year. One large manu-
facturer predicted today that 800, 900
would be required to fill the demand
Of the next 10 years.
Amalgamation Started.
The policy of amalgamation of
street car and bus lines already has
received good start. Today there
are approximately ITO electric rail-
way companies owning and operating
$500 busses in conjunction with their
rail cars. j. y. Shannahan, president
of the American Electric Railway
Association, said today:
"Far-seeing electric railway ex-
ecutives everywhere are supplement-
ing their rail service with buses
where traffic warrants, and enlight-
ened public officials and citizens are
cooperating with them in an effort
TO establish the best possible car
bus services"
VIII Stress Good VIII,
Mr.. Storr is expected to act as a
liaison officer between the traction
companies and the public, and his
services will be available for the
public if the latter desires to turn
to him as an expert. He is sure to
stress to the railwaymen the value

CRITICAL PERIOD SEEN.
Money Rates May Change in Next
Three or Four Months,

When the rediscount rate Is ad-
vanced, 1t will be a warning that the
end Of the bull market is at hand,
says e. d. King in the current issue
of the Magazine Of Wall Street. In
vcstors, therefore. should closely
watch the trend Of money rates.
The present rate is slightly less
than per cent for commercial paper
and time money. Call money rates
are averaging around per cent. AS
lohg as the Federal reserve redis-
count rate at New York remains at
per cent this will be taken as an
indication that no early change in
the money situation Is expected. AS
pointed out previously, however, con-
ditions are so shaping themselves as
to make an advance in their rate in
evitable. The writer's opinion Is that
this will be done within three or
four months, SO that this will be a
critical period for the stock market.
