APPLE CROP REPORT FROM N. Y. 

 STATE. 



It has been some years since the 

 farmers of western New York have 

 had their apple crop so well cleaned 

 up at this time of the year as they 

 have this fall. This is owing to two 

 reasons: the splendid weather condi- 

 tions that have prevailed, and the fact 

 that paring and cider apples have 

 brought such good prices that the 

 farmers have picked them up and sold 

 them as fast as they could. While the 

 crop has been light, there has been 

 more clear profit realized to the grow- 

 ers than in a number of years past. 

 One grower said recently that there is 

 more money in 300 barrels of apples 

 at ?3 a barrel than In 1200 barrels at 

 1!1 a barrel; and this because of the 

 cost of barrels and for picking and 

 drawing them away. 



When it came to the actual picking, 

 the crop did not turn out as well as 

 had been expected, and consequently 

 the buyers who purchased orchards 

 'by the lump" paid about all they were 

 worth. As a usual thing the crop turns 

 out to be greater than estimated, but 

 the reverse was true this year. The 

 apples sorted away more than was an- 

 ticipated, but a factor that helped to 

 offset was the unprecedented high 

 prices paid during most of the season 

 for parers and ciders. Paring apple.5 

 brought as high as 80c. per 100 lbs; 

 x-ider apples brought 50c. Such prices 

 were never known here before. Ciders 

 are now bringing only 25c. per 100 lbs., 

 however, as the buyers were getting 

 so many more than they expected. 



Most buyers have their storehouses 

 ■well filled,- and they expect to make a 

 satisfactory profit, as outside of New 

 York state the apple crop is very short. 

 The market has weakened somewhat 

 in the last three or four weeks on ac- 

 count of the stringency in the money 

 market; $3,00 per bbl. is the usual 

 price for the general run of apples; 

 exceptionally fine qualities, $4 per bbl. 

 The best apples this fall were the North- 

 ern Spies. The Baldwins and Green- 

 ings were under size, but the former 

 -variety was well colored. The com- 

 paratively small size is attributed to 

 the late spring and the long continued 

 drouth. H. R. PEAOHEY.
