APPLE CROP PRICES. 



499 



WELLAND COUNTY. 



Owing to its being impossible to get help, the 

 bulk of the apples have been sold on trees by 

 the orchard, so I cannot say what price per bar- 

 rel prevails. Some crops have been sold for 

 50 cents per barrel, grower to pick, haul to car 

 and board packers, buyer to pack and furnish 

 barrels. I think if the growers had been able 

 to handle their crop themselves and store until 

 the middle of November they would have no 

 difficulty in netting 75 cents to $1 per barrel. 



— (G. E. Russell. 



LAMBTON COUNTY. 



The price paid for apples was 75 cents per 

 barrel, but is now 65 cents. The grower is ex- 

 pected to pick the apples, and the buyer packs 

 them, and the grower gives him his board while 

 packing, and the grower has to deliver them at 

 the station. Not more than 25 per cent, of the 

 growers have disposed of their fruit. Some 

 apples have been sold to the evaporator. — (Wm. 

 Wight. 



VICTORIA COUNTY. 



Apples are selling as follows: Spys, Bell- 

 fleurs and Greening, $1.25 per barrel; Tallman 

 Sweet, Ben Davis and others of that class for 

 70 to 30 cents per barrel. The grower packs 

 and delivers at those prices, subject to be cut 

 if the packing is not good. One merchant told 

 me he could buy all he wished at this price. 

 Winter apples are about 50 per cent, of a full 

 crop. The great bulk will be marketed this fall.
