Apple Selling in the North of 

 England 



Harr; C. Walton, Maackeittr, Englaad 



I'rom early in October until the curt of 

 the .\inerican or Canadian sea.son the aj)plc 

 trade occupies by far the most iinportant 

 place in the fruit business of the enorinous- 

 ly populated districts surrounding Man- 

 chester and Liverpool. Of course we have 

 other fruits as well, but apples are easily 

 first in importance and value, more so now 

 than at any other period of the year. Since 

 the trade with the Antipodes has developed 

 they are seen on our market all the year 

 round, and it may be well to remark in 

 passing that this latter fact has done much 

 to still further popularize the use of our 

 principal winter fruit. 



Apples arriving at Liverpool or in Man- 

 chester by the Ship Canal may be separ- 

 ated into two classes, namely those sent 

 to the brokers, and those sent to private 

 firms. By far the greater bulk go to the 

 former, so we may well take their method 

 of procedure first. 



In Liverpool there are six, and in Man- 

 chester three firms of brokers. In each 

 city they are formed into a very powerful 

 association. Although each of the mem- 

 bers of these associations has its own in- 

 dividual interests and its own staff and 

 offices, there is a common auction room, 

 where each firm takes it in turn to sell its 

 fruit by auction, commencing with the 

 firm whose turn it is to sell first, and the 

 others following in rotation. Naturally 

 the auctioneers themselves are very highly 

 trained, and can judge the value of the 

 goods to a nicety. They one and all sell 

 at a terrific rate especially on a big day, 

 and it is almost impossible for one unac- 

 customed to the saleroom to follow the 

 business at all, even with ftie aid of the 

 printed catalogue.
