 grades are particularly scarce and wanted at

 the outlook for such is highly favorable. 



MONTREAL, 



October 28, 1890. 

 The market remains in a very lifeless con- 

 dition and the aggregate of trade is unusally 

 small for the season. Apples are quiet with 

 sales of winter stock running from $3 75 to 

 $4.00 per bbl. ; fall apples, $2.75 to ^3.25 

 per bbl.; seconds, and the markets is full of 

 them, dull, $2 00 to $2 25 per bbl Pears — 

 Very, very dull ; sales $5.00 to $10.00 per bbl. , 

 as to quality; 50 cti. to $1.00 per basket. 

 Grapes — Domestic, stock is almost done and 

 is now in good demand, prices running from 

 3 to 3J cts. bulk. Foreign green fruit is now 

 selling much better, the bulk of trade being 

 in oranges, lemons and grapes. 



GUELPH. 



October 24, 1890. 

 Grapes — Concord, 2 to 3 cts. per lb ; Nia- 

 gara, 3I to 4I cts. per lb ; Rogers, 5 to 4 cts. 

 per lb. Pears — 40 to 75 cts. per 12-qt. basket.

 bushel. Cranberries — Canadian, $8 50 per 

 bbl.; Cape Cod, $11.00 per bbl The de-

TORONTO. 



October 24, 1890. 

 Grapes — Concord, 2| to 2f cts per lb. ; 

 Delaware, 2| to 3 cts. per lb ; Royers, 2f to 

 3 to 3^ cts. per lb.; Niagara, 3 to 3 {: to 3^ cts. 

 per lb. Grape market shows a firmer feeling, 

 and if receipts the coming week do not ex- 

 ceed the demand we look for ar. advance in 



prices. Fears— De Anjou and Clairgean, 

 when marketed in good condition, are selling 

 at 65 to 75 cts. per basket, or $6.50 to $7.00 

 per bbl ; Duchess 60 to 70 cts. per basket ; 

 common varieties from 25 to 50 cts. per 

 basket, according to quality and condition. 

 Apples — On fall varieties, unless of very fine 

 kinds and quality, market is dull, only fancy 

 re-shipping kinds being in demand. Winter 

 fruit is quiet and most receipts are being put 

 in store for future shipment, as there is very 

 little enquiry by the local trade. We quote 

 fall fruit : Snows, when clean bright fruit, 

 fi2.ooto $2.25 to $2.50 per bbl., anything in- 

 ferior in quality is hard to dispose of at any 

 price; Culverts, Jennettings, etc., $2.25 to 

 $2.50 per bbl. ; St. Lawrence are about out 

 of market ; Blenheim Pippins, Ribston Pip- 

 pins, Twenty Ounce and other fancy fall 

 varieties, $2 75 to $3 00 per bbl. Quinces are 

 in light supply and demand ; choice clean 

 bright fruit selling at 75 to 85 cts. per bas- 

 ket. Inferior, undersized, poor colored fruit 

 is hard to sell at any price. Crab apples have 

 been in good demand until the last three or 

 four days, and now there is scarcely any 

 enquiry; offering at $3.00 to $3.25 to I3.50 

 per bbl. according to quality to-day. Re- 

 ceipts are rather in excess of demand. 



LONDON, ENG. 



October 4, 1890. 

 American and Canadian apples are now 

 coming forward in small quantities, and 

 good brands realize good prices. We quote ; 

 Baldwins, i8s to 25s. per bbl. ; Greenings, 

 17s. 6d. to 23s. 6d. per bbl. ; Kings, 27s. to 

 31S. per bbl. Market now bare of plums, 

 and as the bulk of the Continental apples 

 has been cleared, enhanced prices for good 

 American and Canadian stock are expected. 

 Immediate shipment of good sound parcels 

 of apples advised.
