Apples for Liverpool. — In order to be in a better position to compare 

 markets, the writer has made up loo cases of fancy apples, packed in the same 

 manner as those for Sidney, and shipped them by the Allan Line to Mr. P.

 firmer than the Californian. The varieties sent were chiefly Cranberry Pippins 

 and Baldwins. All were selected with the greatest care, according to our 

 Dominion grade No. i, and wrapped in tissue paper. They were packed in
