crop in Canada and the United States is unprecedentedly large, and growers may expect 

 very low prices. Yet with careful management in not overcrowding the markets at any time, 

 but giving the consumers in our cities plenty of time to make use of them, we may surely 

 expect that all may be disposed of at reasonable prices. If we can get even 1 i cents for 

 such heavy yielders as the Concord, we need not complain. At this price they will be 

 bought up for wine making. 



LIVERPOOL APPLE iMARKET. 



Arrivals to date 11,412 barrels, all from New York, with the exception of 400 barrels. 

 During the past three weeks a considerable quantity of early fruit has arrived. The first 

 were poor quality and condition ; and as our markets were glutted with windfalls of the 

 English crop, there was consequently very little demand, and large quantities were sold at 

 3s. to 7s. a barrel. The arrivals this week have mostly been early varieties, but showed a 

 consideiable improvement in quality ; and with less of the home produce offering, there 

 has been more activity, and fair prices have been realized for good sound stock. King 

 Pippins have attracted most attention, being good size, clear, and fair color, and sold up to 

 25s.; a few branded Baldwins were small, immature, and unattractive. 



The late storms have greatly reduced our crop, which at the time of our annual report 

 was only a poor one ; there is therefore every prospect that very shortly our market must 

 entirely depend on America and Canada for its supplies.
