3. The market has been tsinporsrlly un- 
settled by the great quantity of fall fr. ilt 
tOOt In and liy Hint H’lnarkaMe i-rnp or 
windfall- hurt tided hy tin- September 
gales. Buyer* have shrewdly taken ad- 
vantage of thl» temporary ileruorallratlou 
to contract for winter tipple*, though lute 
keeping varieties ore mil prrqrtirly sffe.'tr-d 
by It. 
4. The prohahle price of winter fruit levs 
been generally undet* stliHated. The price 
has ranged thus far from It to $1.50 i fur- 
rel, although 11 few lots luivc |w. ti .on. 
traded at $2 or even as high as |;t These 
latter figure* do not i<pr*-i*nt the pr> -• ut 
market offerings, Inmev.i. tint even in 
lfthfi, when all jMisnllth- adverse eniulltiims 
conspired to keep down prlo. -. g.~«| - in- 
ter apples sold lilt. Ill the Hen soil it l'.' 50 
to $! a barrel. The sillin’ ••Ins* if fruit it 
the same season, will douhtle-- sell higher 
this year. 
The permanent tunml Is that only Isle 
keeping standard market varieties ought 
to he grown, and that the (jtov.it uuglit in 
put himself In a position In hold Ills apples 
for a few weeks or month* vrlitu d--*- 
wary; and the golden test, for Itiiuoalnitc 
applleation. Is that tin- growers wlei have 
1'irat-class winter fmit mi hand might not 
to sell any sooner than etromi«tuni-e‘ corn 
pel them to.

The above is all very good lmt It I* 
a difficult matter to tell whether It 
Is hi tter to sell early or hold until mid-
