THliRE will be no difficulty this season 

 ia securing excellent prices for all 

 good Canadian apples, whether in 

 boxes or barrels, provided they can be 

 landed in satisfactory condition. Tii^ 

 .short crop, high freight rates and steamei 

 .space limitations have so restricted sup- 

 plies that, in Glasgow and Liverpool especi- 

 ally, prices have considerably exceeded 

 early expectations. The demand continues 

 strong and steady, and is regarded by the 

 trade in general as normal, or even belter 

 than ordinary. In ivondon there has been 

 ■a somewhat lessened demand for higu- 

 priced fruit on account of the lessening of 

 ■the number of dianers and public functions 

 owing to the war, while the requirements of 

 a darltened London has also bad an adverse 

 effect by reducing the number of theatre 

 parties and similar evening festivities, 

 which are important factors in fancy apple 

 consumption. Londoa is also so near the 

 principal English apple-producing counties 

 thait it has been steadily supplied with large 

 quantities of home-grown fruit, and this 

 has had an observable effect on prices, 

 which have been considerably lower than 

 those obtained in the North. 



Steamer Space and Rates. 

 Steamer space seems, if anything, more 

 difficult to secure, and, though particulars 

 are not obtainable from the shipping com- 

 panies, it is generally expected tliat ocean 

 rates will be still further increased. 

 Brokers' charges will also be raised. 

 Apples in Barrels. 

 Canadian apples, in the main, have been 

 arriving in good condition, with only a nor- 

 mal percentage of slack packs, though many 

 Nova Scotia No. 3's have been badly spot- 

 ted and wasty. In some cases color haa 

 been lacking, and the quality poor or only 

 fair, but reliable shippers have been send- 

 ing in some excellent stock, and, In general, 

 there has not been much cause for com- 

 plaint. There is a tendency observable, 

 however, in many packs of Ontario apples 

 to include a proportion of small apples 

 in No. 1 barrels. This Is, perhaps, natural.
