British Buying Methods 

 Changed 



For years Canadian apple shippers have 

 complained against the system of buying 

 and selling apples by auction that has been 

 followed in Liverpool. During the past two 

 years this system has been changed for the 

 better largely through the efforts of Mr. 

 T. N. Chute. European representative in 

 England of the United Fruit Companies of 

 Nova Scotia Ltd. .^t the recent annual 

 meeting of the company the Board of Man- 

 agement rfiferred tO' this change as fol- 

 lows : 



In ]ast year's report Mr. Chute explained 

 in detail the svstem under which fruit was 

 bandied in this important market; he ex- 

 plained the operations of th;- various or- 

 ganizations, the Importers' .Association, the 

 Brokers' Association and the Buyers' .Asso- 

 riation. Strong protests have been made | 

 for generations by apple shippers from all | 

 tiarts of the world, especially concerning | 

 tV"- ODerations of the Buyers' Association, 

 who hnd the monopofly of the auction rooms 

 and who persistently refused to allow anv 

 but members to buy in the rooms. Such 

 Drotests, however, have always be^-n in vain 

 because there was no organization nowerful 

 enough to withhold supplies and thus com- 

 pel recognitiom. 



We are unable to go into detail"; as to 

 how it has been accomplished but have the 

 satisfaction to be able to report to you to- 

 day that any firm of good financinll standing 

 and clean business re'-ord can enter the 

 auction room and bid for your apples, so 

 that in future instead of a few men being 

 able under certain conditions to fix the 

 prices they will pay before the 'ale com- 

 mences, \-our apples will be sold to the 

 highest bidders drawn from all p^Tts of the 

 country, manv of whom hav nreviously 

 h^d to pay the old Buyers' .Association as 

 hitrh as fifty cents a barrel profit. 



The fact that this extra competition 

 means enhanced prices and prevents mar- 

 ket rigging is of course apparent. In addi- 

 tion to this, none of your apples are now 

 tolled bv the Imoorters' Association, sav- 

 ing in that direction approximately twenty 

 cents on every barrel. 



We feel that this is the most important 

 achievement of The United Fruit Compan- 

 ies of N. S. Ltd., and feel sure that all 

 cooperators will share our satisfaction in the 

 knowledge that it is by their concerted ac- 

 t'on alone that this sweeping reform has 

 been brought about.
