tirely free from arsenic; about
one-sixth showed traces of ar
senic in amounts less than .OOO1
Of a grain per pound; and about
one-third Of the samples carried
arsenic in amounts ranging from
.OOO1 to 1-19O grain per pound.
Thus it is seen that the larges!
amount of arsenic found was 1-19I
OF a grain per pound of apples
A person would need to eat three
pounds or about one dozen apples
OF average size to receive the
minimum medical dose of arsenic
and about IL pounds or four dozen
apples of average size to receive
the maximum medical dose.
Some interesting analyses have
also been made by Scott Dodd Of
Edinburgh. Scotland. Several va
rieties Of apples received from the
United States contained arsenic
as follows: Spitzenberg from Ore
gon, ,OO72 grains per pound; Rome
Beauties from Oregon, .OO15;
Winesap from Washington, .OO46;
Newtown Pippin from Oregon,
.O1O3; Newtown Pippin from
Washington, .OO34. There was
practically no arsenic in the inside
portions or in the cores. Mr.. Dodd
estimated that a person would
need to consume almost 2 pounds
Of apples a day ana to eat the en-
tire apple, including skin, ends and
core, before he would obtain the
minimum medical dose.
The more one hears about this
whole proposition, the more he is
compelled to believe that the ar
senical scare in England is the
result of some insidious propa-
ganda intended to discourage the
consumption of American fruits.
We believe that American fruit
growers should take precautions
to use no more arsenic than is
necessary to properly control cod
ling moth, but at the same time,
we believe that they should by no
means discontinue the use Of ar
senic compounds in the fear that
they will be rendering their fruit
unfit for marketing purposes. Ger
tainly the public, both in England
and in this country, can be made
familiar with the facts in such
ways as will promote their conf
dence in the wholesomeness of
American apples.-American Fruit
Growers Magazine.

the early June estimates.
Market conditions are much like
they were two years ago. It is too
early to know much about produc-
ton, but conditions in the United
States are as yet favorable. The
acreage of wheat is larger than
last year, and with favorable
growing conditions should equal
the five-year average crop. Buy
ers are offering to contract their
wheat, and some contracts are be-
ing signed. But, for the most part.
growers are holding off, expect
ing better prices in the fall.

situation it was stated that win
ter production in the United States
was about 10 per cent greater
than last year. The monthly in
crease up to June first is now cut
down to 6 per cent or less. Butter

BEARS RULE IN
GRAIN PITS ON
CHICAGO BOARD
Down Rush Continues De-
spite Vigorous Resistance
to Pressure.

BIZ United Press g,
CHICAGO, July 8.-The bears had
their inning on the Chicago board
of trade today, when all grains
closed at levels below those Of
Wednesday, despite vigorous resist
ance to pressure early in the day.
Wheat prices have been soaring in
the face Of the heaviest crop move
ment of many a 4 year, so the reac-
ton was not entirely unexpected. .
Losses of from q to a cent were
recorded at the close of the wheat
pit, and the trend probably will con
tinue downward for some time. AL
though most of the spring wheat
country of the Northwest is still suf-
fering from intense heat, showers
we're reported from the Dakotas and
good rains from the Canadian North
west and this was felt on the floor.
The Dakotas and Minnesota may
raise about, half of their normal crop,
according to experts,- but to do this
they must have more rain soon. The
Southwestern markets were also
closely watched for any reflection of
weather conditions in that section.
After a temporary rally rather
early IN the day, there was free
selling on all bulges, and this
brought figures down to their
present levels. The fact that there
were many sales of 5000 and 100000
lots indicated a renewed public in
terest in the market. Cash prices
were steady, while export business
was dull.
Grain is piling up on the ground
in the Southwest, because the
| elevators are full and the railroads
are unable to furnish enough cars
to transport the wheat.
Corn showed a little more strength
than wheat, but lost from Is to "a
points on the close. A quantity Of
this grain was bought for the export
trade, via Philadelphia. Cash prices
were steady to higher.
Oats were dull and neglected, the
| close showing only a very small frac-
tional difference from Wednesday.
Provisions lost more than they
have for some time on free lard
liquidation, despite the fact that the
| packers were on the buying side of
the market.

MATURED HOGS BREAK 80 CENTS
%LightWeights Bring Top
Price of $14.70-Bulk
at S13.70@14.45.

Matured hog prices broke 80 cents
n trading today at the indianapolis
Livestock Exchange. A cpmbina-
ton Of circumstances caused the
sharp slump in values. For the
past week, receipts have been rather
heavy and the 5000 hogs In the
pens this morning over balanced the
market. The local exchange has
been 'out of line" with other
markets for several days and this
lowering Of prices has placed quo
tations on a more ven basis. The
principal competitive market was
10 to 25 cents lower today and this
final development probably started
the local market on the down trend.
Lightweight material brought the
top price of $14.7O and the bulk Of
the hogs moved the scales at $3.50
@14.45. Hogs, numbering $40. were
held rel from the previous session
and added to the total fresh offering
in the pens. Hogs weighing 160-1S0
lbs, $14.70; 10000 lbs, $14.45; 200
30 lbs, SLABS; 210-225 lbs, $14.15;
225-25O lbs. $13.95; 25O-275 lbs.
1870; 275-300 lbs, $685.; $50 lbs.
and up $13.45.

Cheered By Pledge

NhtChtU ~ 80
Strikers were cheered by the
pledge of electrical workers. made
in a resolution adopted Wednesday
night, not to patronize the street
railway or In of its subsidiaries as
long as the strike exists. and by the
anticipation of a similar pledge by
delegates to the Central Labor Union,
which will solidify Monday night
/ after two years of internal dissen-
sion.
Arthur w. Lyday, executive sec
rotary Of the central body, said a
resolution supporting the strikers
likely will be adopted.
"The strike Is virtually owe as
far az we're concerned" James p.
Tretton, street railway superin'
tendent declared.
Tretton said, however, he is seek
ing to employ 100 more new men
and announced the company will
continue to pay an extra 50 a day
over the wage scale to workers.
The scale is 81 to AZ cents an
hour. An increase. recognition of
the union. and reinstatement of men
discharged for joining the union are
the demands of the strikers. Before
the walkout street car men worked
an average Of ten hours a day, earn
ing from $40 to $4.20 a day.
Little suffering in the strikers
ranks so far has been evident,
strikers financially able to TO do so,
sharing their cash-with the less for
tunate.
Wednesday was pay day for the
strikers. allelviating strained fnan.
cial conditions in many strikers fam

The bill was expected to be filed
before Judge Robert c. Baltzell In
Federal Court. charging violation OF
an injunction issued forty-eight
hours before the strike was called,
prohibiting "all persons knowing OF
this order from being involved In
