 source. 



These figures show a comparatively narrow distribution of New Eng- 

 land apples. Outside New England and New York they comprise so 

 small a volume of apples unloaded as to be negligible. Apples from New 

 York were distributed to 1.5 of the 17 markets here listed, and the North- 

 west shipped apples to each of the markets. Of apples shipped from 

 New England in 1925-26, 51 per cent were sent to New York, 13 per cent 

 to Chicago and 3 per cent to Cincinnati. Other markets received even 

 siaaller proportions. 



On the other hand, arrivals of New England apples on the Boston 

 market comprised about 44 per cent of the total receipts for the seasons 

 1920-1924. About 15 per cent were from New York and 22 per cent from 

 Washington. The trend of these receipts is shown in Table 5, which gives
