We do not advise shippers to send early 

 apples here, as the market is now full of local 

 apples. Have too many small and inferior 

 pears and not enough choice eating pears, 

 as is shown by the fact that the California 



Bartletts continue to sell at 60 cents per 

 dozen. Champion grapes and like varieties 

 never in demand here.
